*actually updates journal for once*

[heathershaped]

Hi f-list! How are things with you? I've been reading and dropping comments here and there, but as most of you know, I tend to suck at keeping this thing updated. Welcome to new friends, too! *waves*

--- Firstly, inell is now driving back home to Texas after a long weekend visiting me here in Southern PA. So, everybody wish her a safe drive. *sends her good juju on her way home*

--- In addition to meeting inell this weekend, I also got to meet cloverdew! Inell and I drove down to MD, where I work and used to live, to meet Sara for lunch, chatting, and movie-seeing. It was my first time ever meeting anyone from fandom, so for me it was nervous-causing, but it went really well and Inell and Sara are lovely. It was a lot of fun -- oh, and if anyone out there hasn't seen Ironman, you should. :D

--- We've some openings at road_ahead, so if anyone has a yen for some Parvati Patil or Lisa Turpin (both of whom have played and active friends/roomies), let me know! We'd also love to cast George and Ginny Weasley, and we could do with some Slytherins -- Theo Nott, Adrian Pucey, or Marcus Flint would be great. :D We've updated our available characters list here and it has links to backstory for the characters who are up for recast. Just email me at hnicole83@gmail.com or ping me this evening at emotionalinertia on YM if you want any information. I love RA and everyone in it, and my boys drive me nuts on a regular basis. Especially Harry. Oy.

--- So we're just about done with all the season finales for the summer. American Idol's is tonight, but I likely won't even watch cause I could care less who wins that one. LOL. So You Think You Can Dance starts on Thursday though, which I'll definitely be watching. I DVR'ed last weeks' SPN and Smallville finales, but while I got a chance to watch Smallville's, I haven't caught up on SPN, and by some stroke of luck, I'm still unspoiled for it. *knocks on wood* Also on my catch-up list is Bones. And I caught the Gossip Girl finale last night, which wasn't quite what I'd built it up to be in my mind before watching. The Tudors doesn't end for two more weeks, and then Weeds starts again. Whee! /random TV inventory

--- I want to re-do my layout. I hesitate because it took me ages to do my current one, though I've had it for a long time now and the next time around the html will be easier for me because I'm more used to it. I also hesitate because I really want a Joe-GL layout, but I'm not sure I'm ready to let Tommy go. *laughs* Anyway, I'll be playing with some graphics and seeing if I can come up with something pretty enough to switch out.

--- Another primary this evening. I intend to distract myself with whatever threads I can get my boys into.

Want to do something tonight? Any of mine are at your service.

And I second sara- JGL layout FTW.

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

Yes! How about Greg-Pansy? (Sorry Seamus was such a pissy twit LOL. *shakes head at him*)

[lesemma.livejournal.com]

sounds good- I'll message you when I get home.

And no worries, she's used to it ;)

Heh, well you know where I stand on Idol. DCFTMFW, baby. He's my boy. I could listen to him 24/7/365. Okay, I might need to sleep, but otherwise ;)

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'd certainly prefer him to win, but I think the whole season's been set up from the top 12 onward for a D-squared finale. Sort of takes the suspense out of it, yanno?

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're probably right -and after all that, the judges threw DC under the bus big time. Sorry, I'm hurting pretty badly right now (still voting like a fiend though).

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

Wha?? What happened? I missed it.

And heh, that's what the producers did to Syesha last week, heh.

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

Simon basically shat all over Cookie. Or else it was reverse psychology to get Cookie's fans angry enough to vote their fingers off.

1. Primary: Mine. My favorite thing about today is going to be not getting any more phone calls for like FOUR WHOLE MONTHS to remind me that today is the damn deadline.

2. If you are unspoilered for SPN finale you must also not be watching the ginormous Dean's-a-mysoginist-dick wank (some of which isn't really wank so much as statistics, but some is just splooge. This is probably just as well.

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

1. Haha! That was my favorite thing about the PA primary. Another reason why I sort of miss Maryland -- they take our overall Blue-ness relatively for granted so they rarely call us. :P

2. Dude, I'm dying to know what that's about! I saw the post on my FW feed and nearly clicked before I saw the spoiler alert. I plan on watching the finale tonight and finding out what the hell, even though I'm sure I will be sorry I did. Especially considering the last bit of SPN wank I clicked on was something along the lines of "Leik, how dare you write chubby!Jensen RPS fic how disrespectful is that OMG !!!!111!!11!" or some such. Heh.

[florahart]

Since I might be casting my ballot at any moment for the last three damn weeks, I have been called so. many. times. akjsdhfkjahldsf.

It's a more general commentary on Dean's language throughout S3, that this season he's referred to women as skanks, bitches, whores, etc, a lot more than previously. Trollprincess counted up instances just to see if her general sense was true, and voila, wank.

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

Hee! *pets*

Oh, gotcha, re: Dean. Well yes, but. Am I a bad feminist for not giving that language a whole lot of thought before you just now mentioned it? Even knowing for a couple of days that the wank was about misogyny? >_> Heh. Does this mean I can't ogle him anymore?

Or, OR, does the fact that I objectify him in my mind even the score a little and make it all okay? <_< Somehow I doubt this will temper any enjoyment I have of the latest episode when I see it. *ducks head and skulks away*

[lady-carrie.livejournal.com]

Is Ginny still free?

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

She is, yes, but we've got a couple of applications so far. :D Feel free to submit one! Inell won't be around until tomorrow, so we won't be making a decision yet. :)

[purelush.livejournal.com]

I am still so jealous that you got to meet Sara and Inell :P. Why not RAR peeps in Canadiana?

I also vote for a JGL layout. Possibly with teh eyebrow. You know which one.

Katie's occupied with Dean tonight, but Hestia, Cormac and Molly are free :D

Glad you ladies had fun! Ironman is great---I am a wee bit biased because I have found RDJ hot since forever.
