So I realized I haven't posted in a while! (Read: in three days) I guess being home and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with myself doesn't give me much stuff to post about, huh. Ah well. There might also be that I spent the past couple days at darling Michelle's house hanging out with Sara, Fei, and Rob, which was lots of fun and I'm going to miss them all this summer :(

RPS in and around the SPN fandom amuses me. I mean, clearly Jensen/Jared is OTP like whoa, they're absolutely undeniable if you've seen the pictures or interviews, but the rest of it is just funny. Don't get me wrong, I find it all very entertaining and hot, just like the next fangirl! But when we start pairing up people who have never even met in real life? color me amused ^_^ And when four of them have paired off into two couples, I start thinking about the likelihood of even one or two of them actually being gay, and it's not very high ^_^

Although, I did have one thought - the theater geeks in high school are always stereotypically effeminate, or, in other words, gay (I don't mean actually gay, just considered that. I'm not making judgements, just commenting on a stereotype). So why should that change when they actually become successful actors? clearly it hasn't since we're slashing them out the wazoo! But it's not a popular social concept, for movie stars to be gay - so why is it true in high school, but not later on? Hmmmm! *gets thinky face on*

I thought I'd post the results of the Favorite Supernatural Episode poll, since I got over 50 responses!

spn_newsletter is pretty awesome for spreading info, huh :)

Aaand the winner is....

1. Hell House! (10 votes)
2. Salvation (9)
3. Devil's Trap (8)
3. Faith (8)
5. Home (6)
6. Asylum (5)
7. Skin (4)

The rest got three votes or less. I must say I'm a little surprised by these results. I suppose Hell House is the favorite cause the boys are HAPPY and EEEE, but I thought the fans of this show were generally angst whores? I know I am. My favorite episode is Home, and that ep is ALL about the woobie. I'm also a little surprised at how high Asylum is on the list, it was never one of my all time faves.

On a related note, I'll bow to

tallisen's wishes and order the episodes from my favorite to my least favorite!

1. Home
2. Salvation
3. Pilot
4. Nightmare
5. Devil's Trap
6. Faith
7. Dead in the Water
8. Scarecrow
9. Bloody Mary
10. Asylum
11. Skin
12. The Benders
13. Hell House
14. Dead Man's Blood
15. Provenance
16. Shadows
17. Something Wicked
18. Phantom Traveller
19. Wendigo
20. Hook Man
21. Bugs
22. Route 666

To be honest, this list doesn't really mean much. I compared it to the same thing I did a few nights ago in a notebook, and the only things the same are the first one and the last five. Everything else in the middle is almost completely jumbled. Basically what that shows is that I LOVE every single episode of this show, and it's almost impossible to choose which ones I like better. All I know is that Home owns my soul.

On another Supernatural note (is anyone surprised?), is it October yet??? Whenever I think about Winchestercon, this big goofy grin spreads across my face. I am SO excited, you guys. Especially since I might meet my SOUL MATE,

candlesandcloth, aka Sarah, who will just have to come home with me after that weekend because I don't think I'll EVER be able to let go *clings to her*

I've watched the first 5 episodes of House, and while I find it greatly entertaining, I am not obsessed. Yet. It did take me a while to get completely OWNED by BSG, so we'll give it some time :) Wilson might be the cutest thing, um, EVER *pinches his cheeks*

Speaking of BSG, I bought this month's official magazine, it's so shiiiiiny with so many pretty pictures! *salivates* I hope they do an official magazine for Supernatural eventually!

And on yet ANOTHER fandom tangent, I'm still enjoying The O.C.. But this is on a purely fluff level, so don't anyone get worried, mmkay?

Ummm... I think that's about it! Sorry for boring y'all! *mwah*

(P.S. I have FIFTY NINE Supernatural icons uploaded!!! Obsessed much?)

was it good for you?

Aaah, nice subject.

Think about it - in art circles generally the ratio of male homosexuals is higher than in the "rest of the population". I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just that typical high school drama dork-thingy. (Didn't Jensen or Jared say once they were one? Anyways.) And now consider one of my favorite quotes, I believe Ian McKellen said it some time ago, and I don't remember the exact words here, but its essence was that Hollywood is the only place with no gay people. None at all. If you think about it. Are there any major leading actor or actress being openly gay? Not for long, that's for sure. So that doesn't really work out, right? Art generally "attracting" gays and then Hollywood eliminating them all? No way. My conclusion: hollywood = one big gay CLOSET. And now, who could ever deny the slashiness of our pretty boys? *pets them* I mean, more often that not they are just begging to be slashed, so that's what we do. And while I don't think that all big actors are gay, I do think that there are quite a few who just don't dare to be out, because that's virtually the end of your career. I know there was a great article about this when BBM came out, how that won't change Hollywood yadda yadda, I think you might have even been the one to link to it. So yeah. It's not like all the gay drama dorks never make it to Hollywood, but they go and shut up about it.

And wow, I never would've expected those results for the poll! Personally, I just heart Provenance so much right now (I'm still in Sammycuddlymode, excuse me *goes and pets the sammy some more*), but after that Home and Nightmare are pretty high up in my ranking. I liked Asylum, but would never place it that high, and Hell House was funny, but it could've needed a bit more angst imho.

Anyways, I should stop writing long, rambling comments and instead eat something and then drag my ass to the doc. Whoo. -.- Sorry for any typos and weird thoughts and stuff, I'm actually still sick but just well enough to sit in front of my laptop again and since I didn't have it on at all yesterday I'm experiencing major withdrawal symptoms.

(P.S. NOT AT ALL ;))

Fascinating! Awesome analysis darling. You are super smart. And while sick too! Putting me to shame *g* I like that conclusion. Hollywood = a gigantic closet. Awesome.

I hope the doc helps you *smoogles* Feel better sweetheart!

I'm finally feeling somewhat better. (See, my health level right now is proportional to the number of comments left in your journal ;))

And I gotta admit, I did come up with that conclusion some time ago and just used your comment to show it off ;) It's a good conclusion, though ;)

*smishes*

I think we talked about the same topic a while ago. Either it was December when we met at Adas or in February when I visited you. And every word is true.

hollywood = one big gay CLOSET
That's exactly what I told my sister a while ago because when I was all "Oh, they looooove each other soooo much." about whatever actors. I can't remembe if it was J² or Ewan/Hayden or Jake/Heath blabla, maybe someone random and she was "They have girlfriends." Erm, so what? - Everytime I tell her that Orli might be gay she is the typical teenie. *rofl* That amuses me.

I even talked to my offline-friends (aka bffs) about that. YES. ME. I usually seperate my online from my offline life. At least from people I only know offline aka non-slash-fans-whatsoever. And they were also all "OMG You're so right. Hollywood IS gay." So, yay for that.

Erm, I think I'm talking bullshit here but that's only because I'm tired as hell.

Anne, omg, sorry for that. Btw, when are your online times? Everytime I'm at msn there is nobody on. :((

I'm on MSN right now! And I'm on a LOT lately, since I'm out of school. Sometimes I forget to log on MSN though, so if you're on MSN and are really bored, just drop a comment on my journal and I'll most likely see it and come arunning! :)

Yeah but I'm at work right now. *lol* So, no msn here. DAMNIT.

Darling I will also drop you a comment when I'm not bored because omg i want to talk to you!!!! :D

Sometimes I forget to log on MSN though
Erm, same here. And then I begin wondering why nobody is coming on and OH, there is no msn in your shortcut-bar. HAHA.

Iwant to talk to you toooooo *clings* Hopefully we'll BOTH remember at the same time at one point!

Btw, OMG your icon.

*is dead from laughing*

icon!love! *squees* so great omg. oh, and you totally need to be on msn more often! *pokes you gently* *spamms your journal recklessly* ^^;;

*hears spamming*

Yay.

I think I'll spend some time of tonight to be online because I'll just be out for a coffee or two with friends but no bigger partying/going out today. Yes. *hint* *hint*

btw, honey, it's great that you feel better already. Kane tickets are resting on my shelf (printed, btw ^^).

I think I'll spend some time of tonight to be online
So I was here. And Anne was here. But ~~brother~~ Steff where are thou? *sniffles*

Kane tickets. Right. I heard nothing else all day. I can't wait to see the concert! *bounces*

dimturien and I talked about planning the meet-up soon. but maybe not in poor anne's lj ;)

*fuses two comments*

Sure, Orli just has this typical bottom-gay-aura on him but beside that? !!!!
*nods nods*

Sorry for being so confused and random
hun, you don't have to apologize for being yourself. *ducks* ;P

*huggles*

Yeah, I was late. I know. (and I missed you, Anne. *cries* damn me)

hun, you don't have to apologize for being yourself. *ducks* ;P
*pouts like sam after the spoon-prank* Mpf!

*pouts like sam after the spoon-prank* Mpf!
AWWWWWWWW! *squees* *pinches your cheeks* Too cute! *cuddles* :D

OT: You're on too?? Okay, I shouldn't be anymore. I just said goodbye to Anne (hello again ^^) on msn because omg-i-need-to-hurry but then my gmail made "pong" and I had to check and wah, I'm still here. *runs out of the room*

AWWWWWWWW! *squees* *pinches your cheeks*

Y'know, that's actually very possible.

Everytime I tell her that Orli might be gay she is the typical teenie.
I don't know if it has to do with my early corruption ;), but I never had that squick-response when hearing someone was gay. If you'd come up to me and say orli is gay my answer would be like "Duh! Everybody knows he's Viggo's bitch" (Aaah, LotRips, good times!) *gg*

And they were also all "OMG You're so right. Hollywood IS gay." So, yay for that.
It's like the worst kept secret in history ;)

It's like the worst kept secret in history ;)
Definitely!

But despite us being slasher I really tried once to think about who could really be gay and not just the omg-hot-co-actor thingy... Hard. Really hard. Sure, Orli just has this typical bottom-gay-aura on him but beside that? !!!!

They are like good at hiding but also not. And ah, I'm confused. And I'm not able to speak English anymore. And I'm leaving work now, I think.

*hugs anne and nebu* Sorry for being so confused and random.

Don't get me wrong, I find it all very entertaining and hot, just like the next fangirl!

Except me! ::runs::

Actually, there are a couple of very sane reasons why I don't do RPS. One, it is still weirdly squicky (I started reading a fic and couldn't even look at the names). And two, since they are REAL, I like to imagine them STRAIGHT, so that in the pretty world in my head I could actually date them. I'm just saying.

And Asylum is easily my favorite from the first half (Pilot second). I just rewatched it, actually, and there is nothing hotter than Sam shooting Dean, I tell you. I die every time. And then when Dean says "Do it!" at the exact same time Sam pulls the trigger...and keeps clicking. I don't know why, but I love that part to an insane degree. I'm just surprised Nightmare isn't higher up (I have this thing for violence, ok?).

Hmmm, okay, I see where you're coming from, although the squick thing is definitely a personal thing that totally varies from person to person, because I NEVER had a squick with it at ALL. It didn't even occur to me that it could be squicky until I ran into people who just wouldn't read it. Huh.

As for the pretty world in my head, see, I never, ever put myself with any of the people I find hot because then I start thinking about it realistically and I realize, um, that would never happen and it would be really awkward cause they're really hot and I'm, um, not and then all my insecurities come rushing to the surface and I want to go curl up in a corner and die. So.... yes, I have issues, why do you ask?

I have to rewatch all of the show, in order, in its entirety. I have skewed memories of some eps, because I've either only watched them once, or only rewatched certain scenes (for example, I've seen the cell phone convo between Sam and Dean in Scarecrow eight ZILLION times, but I haven't seen the rest of the episode many times). Maybe then I'll be able to put together a list that I'm more confident in.

So.... yes, I have issues, why do you ask?

Awww. ::pets:: I'm just a hopeless optimist, I guess. The world in my head is very pretty indeed (insane and scary, but pretty)!

I couldn't even honestly say why it squicks me. I mean, a lot of the fictional stuff I read rates pretty high on most people's squick meters, so if you take out the reality part, it's not even that bad. I guess it just weirds me out.

I have skewed memories of some eps, because I've either only watched them once, or only rewatched certain scenes

I do that too. For example, Dean getting shot. And the bridge scene from the Pilot (the first one). And the beginning of Phantom Traveler. Ok, I'll stop now.

*butts in*

y'know, same here, actually.

*butts out*

I honestly can't pick a least favorite one. I mean, the ass-slap in Bugs makes the whole thing worth watching. *one track mind, woo!*

I like that almost everyone who's done this so far have put "Pilot" and "Home" up near the top. Those are so super cool! :)

When I think of Winchestercon I get extremely giddy but nervous, 'cuz I have to fly out there by myself, and I hate planes so bad. I'm much like Dean in that respect. But really, I don't think I'll be able to let go of any of my LJ friends after that. I don't wanna have to leave, and I'm not even there yet!!

The Pilot is such a fantasmic episode, which is convenient because it's good for converting people! *G*

Awww, you poor dear. You will be totally fine, I promise *huggles* Just hum some Metallica! ;)

I don't think any of us are gonna want to leave. I think we'll just pick one person's house and move in there forever :D

lol, Metallica! I can do that! :D

And that is a splendid idea! I can't wait!! *squees and runs circles*

I am going to Winchestercon *officially*!! The lovely

pasdoll,

kymbr, and

darkhecatemoon (above!) accepted me as a 4th roomie! So once I send in money and such, I'm in! :D See you there!

EEEEE! That is SO exciting!!!! *twirls you in circles* YAY! I seriously can't wait for October!!

It was so weird not having you around for a couple of days! Cause you usually post like crazy (and I love it. :D)

Oooh, Home only made no. 5? That is weird. I don't know about everyone else, but I am DEFINITELY an angst whore.

Ahhh yay I'm glad you're liking House so far. :D Give it some time, you just might become obssesed. And Wilson really is the cutest thing EVER. It gets better every single week. I love him to no end. :D

Aw, I'm surprised anyone noticed that I was gone! You're so sweet *smooshes* I do post like crazy, don't I *g*

House is growing on me, and it will probably take up residence soon! haha. Love your icon :D

Yeah I was used to seeing at least two posts from you every day when I'd check my flist. :D

House is probably my most iconed (is that a word?) fandom. Ever since I started watching it I made an icon post to every new episode. I think I made about 400 icons in the three months I've been watching it. CRAZY. :D

Hey I watch the O.C. It's fun. Seth rocks my world. I'm waiting for the finale cuz I want to know what Imogen Heap song is gonna be played THIS year. Last year it was "Hide and Seek."

I like Jsquared cuz they're undeniable hams together in photo sessions, and they play off well together personality-wise, and sometimes the fangirl in me will read their RPS, but for the most part... I don't believe that they really fancy each other.

And YAY winchestercon! I will so be there! I have a roommate and everything. Now I just need to pay...

YAY! *twirls* The more the merrier! I couldn't believe how quickly it fell together for me - one minute I wasn't even considering going, assumed it was impossible, then a couple hours later I had a ride, three roommates, a room reserved, and my head was about to explode. Unbelievable :D And this was all the night of the finale too! Whew!

NICE. Yeah I thought I couldn't go either, I didn't even know if I'd still be living in Austin at that point, and then i got a new job making a ton more money so YAY. I am still trying to decide if I'm driving or flying. I don't know that there's anyone else in Austin going. Bah.
