one more miracle

*Whew* Picspams are hard work, man! I just compiled a big one (plus interviews and vids and stuff) of Jsquared for the comm boy_touching, because, uhm, they touch all the time! \o/ It was lots of fun to do. You should all run and see!

Oh, by the way... HAPPY WINCHESTER DAY!!!

On another note, I called Danny again and he actually picked up his phone! \o/ I asked if he wanted to do something this weekend, he said he wasn't sure what his plans were yet but he should know by Saturday when we work together, so we can talk about it then. We have plans to make plans! Hee. So that's good :)

Um, that's it. I should go to sleep - lab in 6 hours! *facepalm* Night night!

It's amazing how much an extra hour of sleep can do. I slept 5 hours last night instead of 4, and I didn't come even close to drifting off in my 8 AM and 9 AM classes! \o/ In fact, chemistry was very interesting today, and I'm feeling confident with the material, which is, uhm, good since we have a test on Friday!

Danny in 5.5 hours. Oh man.

I've just gotten into this band, but in a very bizarre way. They're called Benefits of Being Paranoid, and heres_luck made the most stunning Serenity vid to their song New Frontier, and the song got stuck in my head so I went to their website and downloaded all their music (which they have up for free - go here and snag it, it's really good! Benefits of Being Paranoid) and so basically I've been playing their album on repeat for a few days. But the thing is that it's mostly background noise. None of the songs (except for that first one I knew, and maybe one other) have stuck out particularly - it's just this pleasant noise in the background at all times. I've listened to every song at least 10 times, but I still know barely any of the words. It's kind of weird! I enjoy the music a whole lot, but not in the usual singing along and dancing kind of way. Huh. If you're wondering what kind of music it is, it's basically alternative rock. I love the guy's voice. Good stuff! And also any Serenity/Firefly fans should totally go check out the music video, it's STUNNING and TRANSCENDANT and always gives me chills... guh. Go here: http://www.heresluck.net/

Hope your Mondays are going well, my dear flist!

The problem with updating my icons is that I subsequently want to make a GIP for EVERY ONE OF THE NEW ONES! Gosh. I have such a passionate love affair with icons. I've already got two or three from every new ep this season *facepalm* But right now I will use this icon, because I am declaring myself a Jo-friendly. Everyone seems to be taking the automatic tack of hating her, and I just think she's cute and spunky and fun.

My only problem with Jo is that she seems YOUNG, like, younger-than-Sammy young, and it kind of bothers me that she's being set up as a love interest for Dean. I mean, ( venturing into spoilers for 205 )

Today was a VERY busy day. But a good day! I had two classes at 8 and 9, then I cleaned my room, then I had lab at 12:30 and my DADDY arrived around 1. He had been driving from Connecticut since 9 to come see me :D He came to my lab and hung out for a while, met my professor and they talked and got along nicely :) Then I finished up lab and Dad and I went to where I was giving my presentation about my summer research, which went quite well. Then daddy took me SHOPPING and I bought three pairs of pants, yay. Then we went out to dinner, which was very nice. THEN (this is like a 5 year old's story, I'm sorry, I'm so tired) I sang in a choral concert and my daddy stayed even though he had to drive four hours to get home in order to go to a work-related thing tomorrow, and the concert went very well and I had to say goodbye to my dad and I cried. Again.

I love my daddy. A lot. It was so wonderful to spend the day with him.

And just to put the icing on the cake, I have a small bit of Danny squee! After the concert, as dad and I were leaving, I suddenly saw him in the lobby mingling with everyone else, and I stopped and said "Hey Danny!" brightly and he turned and said "hey!" with a big smile. Then he complimented me on the show, I said thanks and also thanked him for coming, and then there were cheerful goodbyes and I was on my way. But I was so distracted for a minute I actually missed what my dad was saying to me! Danny put the WHAMMY on me, ya'll. That smile... jesus. I am so smitten.

So it was a good day. I am SO TIRED. But it was good :)

1. I love my big brother. (His name is Mike. He's not really my big brother, but he has acted in that capacity for six years. Sadly I've never actually met him, but he's literally one of my favorite people on the planet.) I really, really love him, a lot.

2. I GET TO SEE DANNY TOMORROW. If I have ANY luck, Concrete Plans to Hang Out will most likely be made. *squeals quietly*

3. I think, *think* I can manage this paper. I think I'll be okay.

4. I am DONE with my video. DONE I SAY.

5. Winchestercon in FIVE DAYS OMG!!!!

6. Alyssa (girl in chem and bio with me) is made of awesome and I love finding new friends I can be dorky and silly with. We sang the Elephant Love Song Medley from Moulin Rouge at each other earlier tonight! (I was Ewan :D)

7. Ash is still SO MUCH LOVE. I keep rewatching his scenes. HEE.

8. And hi, Sam and Dean love each other so much it makes me ache.

9. I get to go to DUBLIN for a year. *keyboard smashes*
