Can I confess something real quick...? (Or, not so quick, since we all know I’m a babbler)

So, we all know I despise new Ruby with a passion, right? Discussion of SPN season 4 finale and a little on 4x20... )

I'm in the library, trying to finish this damn article so I can actually have a life again, and they're freaking vacuuming.  In the library.  The college library.  They don't close until 8pm, so seriously, what the fuck?!

I swear to god, the entire world is against me on this...

And by the way, I might actually be back to having regular internet access again soon!!!  :D
I can't wait, 'cause I miss everyone!!!  *hugs*

I hate not having internet.  *cries*
Thought I should let everybody know that I'm currently broke, and therefore have not started up my internet service at my apartment...  Which is why I've been M.I.A.  :(

I know I said I'd be around more this summer, but clearly that didn't actually work out...  I'm hoping that I might be home a little more (and therefore, with internet) after July 1st, when the revisions are due for my article.

Being alone, without internet, and the procrastinator that I am, however, has led to a bit of writing, so maybe I'll post a fic or two while I'm around for the next day or so (before it's off to New Jersey with my bff!)...  Plus, I've almost finished a few vids!  Even if they're not very good...  I've discovered that I have very little patience for learning Sony Vegas, which leads to an overuse of effects and clip laziness.  I'm actually starting to miss WMM, as crazy as that sounds...

Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know where I stand right now, and why I haven't been around.  Hopefully all is well with you guys!  I miss everybody!

And I do not like it.

Title: Now Comes the Night: When the Hour is Upon Us, You Will Not Be Alone
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: PG
Warnings: I don't believe in them.  Seriously.  This is a read at your own risk situation.
Spoilers: Inspired by 4x21, but I'm not sure there are any real spoilers, exactly.
Disclaimer: I own nothing...
Summary: No I will not leave you crying, I will not let you down.

 

A/N: Title and lyrics from "Now Comes the Night" by Rob Thomas.
Also, I don't know what's up with the format--LJ hates me. Sorry.

 

 

He’s curled into his brother’s side; head cradled gently in Dean’s arms, as the blood drips slowly from the both of them. He can feel his brother’s heartbeat beneath his ear, steady, but slowing, and he knows his own is beating in rhythm, right along with Dean’s... )

So, I'm sitting here, trying to finish my article, because they gave me more time, and it's due, like, yesterday, and I'm listening to one of my mixes to help me focus, and doesn't "Play the Game Tonight" come on and force me into a freaking breakdown, because it gets me thinking about last night's episode...  And it doesn't even actually have any connection to anything that happened last night, but my brain twisted it all up, and now I'm all shaky and freaking out again, because fucking hell, did you SEE it?!  It's gonna be season one, all over again for me--I swear to god, when that aired, I thought everyone was dead, and there would be no more, and I freaked the hell out.

Here we go again...

So, I'm going to go drop off my summer aid application to see if I can't calm down enough to finish this damn thing (which, by the way, deals specifically with the ways the Impala marks the shifting relationship between the boys in season four, so... yeah, not in a good place for concentration).

I hate you, Kansas.  I hate you so very, very much.

Was Bones new tonight?  I can't seem to keep up with whatever the hell's going on with the scheduling...

Anyway, I got back halfway through and shockingly it felt oddly...right.
Not in a Season One or Two way, of course (but is anyone still expecting that), but it felt shockingly okay, comparatively.
What I saw was not completely B/B focused; the moments that were B/B focused were not quite so over the top; though Sweets still has no purpose, I still cannot help but love him in episodes like this; and they actually dealt with Ange/Hodgins slightly realistically this week...
At least in the half I saw.  I cannot speak for the whole thing...

It is also entirely possible that I'm just so incredibly drained from this week, that I'm accepting more crap than I normally would...
The fact that I was convinced it was Thursday pretty much all evening (even after I very clearly told Kyla on the phone that I would be coming home Thursday, while remaining well aware that that did not mean tonight), has me kind of leaning toward that theory...

So, thoughts?
Was it decent, or was I overly sympathetic?

Somebody stab me in the eye.
Seriously, Bones?
Seriously?

Even the background music is a freaking joke.

Aside from the ridiculous gimmicks, however, it appears to be one of the better episodes of the season (though I haven't watched most of it, to be honest)...  Kind of sad.

ETA:  Can't do it.  Changing the channel...

Before I say anything here, I just want to warn you that this post contains some discussion of religion, and personally, I'm not a very religious person and I tend to be extremely wary of organized religion.  That said, I have nothing against anyone who believes in any Christianity or anything else, and my intention is not to offend here.  I'm hoping I won't say anything that might, but like I said, not very religious, which means I may not be as aware of or sensitive to certain issues simply because my mind doesn't work that way.  Therefore, I apologize if anything is at all offensive.  That was not my intention.

Now, before I begin, a point of reference, if you'd like--


Now, discussion... And I really, really don't think anything here should be terribly offensive, but again, be warned--it is a discussion of religion and interpretation )

He is absolutely amazing. CD's available on iTunes if anybody's interested. I highly, highly recommend it.
"Home" is probably one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

So, I just found this while I was avoiding the paper I have to write for Thursday...  I wrote it last Christmas, and had intended to post it then, but I'm pretty sure that then Christmas actually happened, and I forgot about it...


Title: Reflections: Every Single Minute That We Linger Will Burn Me To Your Side
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: PG
Warnings: None, really... Maybe language at a couple of spots.
Spoilers: Um… The Pilot? I don’t know. Probably none, really.
Disclaimer: I own nothing...
Summary: A weird little SPN, Stanford-era Christmas fic that’s… kind of hopeful? Maybe. A little bit. Have I ever mentioned I don’t do fic-happy well? It’s kind of angst-y and kind of strange, and I’m not even completely sure what to make of it, since I forgot about it for so long…  But this is it.  So, hopefully it kind of works.
Enjoy.

 

A/N: Title comes from “Outside” by The Age of Information.

I'm speechless.
I know, doesn't happen very often, and yet, here we are...

Honestly, tonight's Supernatural gave me chills.  It was all kinds of amazing.
Made me cry.
Not that that doesn't happen often, but still...

Basically?
It was amazing and I'm SO glad it's back.

And though I would love to delve into the episode a little more in depth, I am going to bed...  Internship at 9am tomorrow and all...
Goodnight!

Yes, I'm going to bitch about it again... )



And now that I've got that out, let's move on to something more fun...
I finally finished a video.  This thing has been sitting around on my computer for forever (since before I got Vegas, obviously), and I finally managed to get it finished.  It's a bit sloppy, I won't lie -- and I should warn you that the whole thing with the scene from 1x02 probably won't work as well for anyone else as it does in my head, but otherwise I kind of like it.  Looks a little wincest-y, probably, because of the song.  Read it however you like.  The wincest thing wasn't my initial intention, but I'll admit, it's still kind of there...
 



Title: I'm Not Bulletproof 
Music: "Bulletproof" - Kerli
Fandom: Supernatural 
Characters: Dean, Sam
Spoilers: Through 4x14
Summary: Dean's doing his best to stick by Sam's side, but the more he sees of his little brother's powers, the more difficult it becomes.

On a real life note, I may have found an apartment for next year!!!  A little bit expensive, but I was seriously getting worried that nothing would be available, so I really don't care about price right now...  Probably will next semester, but right now it's all good...  :D

I just got caught up on LJ last week, and now I'm behind again.  Haven't even been here in like a week.
It's getting very frustrating.

Hopefully, once Friday roles around, I'll be back on a more normal schedule.
Luckily, my professor was okay with my paper idea, which focuses on Supernatural, and pulls in some ideas for the journal article I'm still trying to write.  This one feels a lot stronger, since it's a completely new argument, really, so I'm hopeful that maybe I'll be able to turn this into something substantial for that, which will cut down on the outside work a bit, seeing as how I signed myself up for more than I bargained for this semester.  Doubt it will end up published in the end, but at least I'll have a good starting place and background work for my thesis when that roles around (can you tell I'm talking myself through and trying to convince myself that all is on schedule right now, lol).

Mostly, I'm just hoping that once this week is over, I'll be able to go back to a more open pace, so I can work on things the way I like to.

Also, if I see one more person say that Bones is about the B/B relationship and humor, I'm going to throw something.  For the love of god, people, IT'S NOT A FUCKING SITCOM!!!  It is a CRIME PROCEDURAL.  Character driven or no (which, by the way, now...?  No), it doesn't change the fact that it is NOT A COMEDY.  There are humorous elements (or there used to be), but that does not automatically mean a genre shift, and I wish people could get that through their heads!!!

Rant over.
I apologize.

So, is it crazy that we're only two episodes in, and I'm already working on a Dollhouse/Supernatural crossover vid...?
Because I am.
Mostly just because I needed to do something with this Trapt song one of my roommates just introduced me to.  I am obsessed with it.

Also, the Dollhouse reminds me of Wolfram and Hart.
