No I don't know why I started with an Eminem lyric. Whatever.

HELLO I'M BACK. (also I already wrote this post and accidentally closed the tab so we're off to a FANTASTIC start....) As per my Wincon promise to many people, I'm going to try my damndest to come back to LJ. I had such a MARVELOUS time being surrounded by fangirls, and I used to have that daily with LJ. My life is noticeable lower quality with that missing. I'm a teacher now and I work so fucking hard, so to have a community to come to while I'm working endless hours at home would be... just beyond wonderful.

I am currently frantically lesson planning after spending the whole weekend HAVING FUN, so I can't say much more right now. A Wincon report of sorts will be coming I hope. For now have this gorgeous photo of our fangirl lunch earlier today (and can I just say that inserting a picture is now an awesome experience - I'm excited to explore all of LJ's fancy new functions!). And if you met me at Wincon, LET'S BE FRIENDS!!!

Happy thing the first! I got a 98.5 on my Bio test! YAY! *twirls in circles* This is a GREAT relief, because I think I had an A- up til this point, and... let's just say that would hurt my GPA (I know, i know *dodges rotten vegetables*) but I just haven't been TRYING in this class because it's exactly what I did in AP Bio and it's not all that challenging, while organic chem has been taking all my energy. So I haven't been performing to my capabilities. But this test is going to go a long way to rectifying that! Yay!

Happy thing the second! Our second semester schedules were released today, and I got all my first choice classes! *dances happily* (Oh, I just noticed, I got my second choice physics section, with the worse teacher - ah well!) And most importantly, I GOT VAN ARMAN FOR ORGO AGAIN!!!! He's the ONLY good orgo teacher, and I think I would shoot myself if I got anyone else. YAYE! *glees* So here's my schedule for next semester:

MWF 8-8:50 Organic Chemistry 2
MWF 9-9:50 Physics 1
MWF 11-12:05 - Probability and Stats
M 1:30-4:20 - Physics lab
W 12:30 - 4:20 - Organic chem lab
TTh 12-1:20 - America in Black and White

Happy thing the third! I get to go home tomorrow, YAYE! And I found a ride with my friend Alyssa, so my dad no longer has to drive down here and then back in one day! *twirls* It'll be nice to have a few days off, and see my daddy family :)

Okay, now we've just got normal things (not unhappy, just not squeeful :P)

Thing the fourth: Five people have friended me in the past day! o.O Is this LJ just being weird and releasing a bunch of notifications at once, or did ya'll really all friend me just now? Well, regardless, welcome to the newcomers! If you want to drop a comment and let me know how you found me, why you friended me, a bit about yourself, etc, I'd love to chat with you :)

Thing the fifth: I would sell my firstborn for an animated icon of the Impala skidding in the SOON promo. Really, I would. I'm going to vaguely try to attempt it myself, but ImageReady is a bitch to deal with on this computer, so if anyone else could do it with more ease, I'd really appreciate it :D

Thing the sixth: I donno if ya'll just missed it or WHAT, but I uploaded videos from Wincon of Susan and Jaida at the Dear Dean panel, and they are HILARIOUS. Go, download them! Shoo!

Thing the seventh: This conversation with Mona amused me!

starsouls1013: i miss talking to you :(
mona1347: Aw dude, ME TOO.
mona1347: Except with you. I don't miss me.
mona1347: I'm with me all day
starsouls1013: Hee.
starsouls1013: There's like, this mona shaped hole in me!
mona1347: AWWW
mona1347: Well DON'T GO FILLING IT WITH ANYONE YOU WANT
starsouls1013: I WONT! IT WOULD BE AN INSULT TO YOUR MEMORY
mona1347: DAMN SKIPPY
starsouls1013: I also wont make a deal with a demon for you though
starsouls1013: Sorry :(
mona1347: That's okay. I understand there are limits.

Thing the eight: ICON! *thud*

In bullet form because OMG THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY.

I have the PLAGUE. And it is all Sarah and Jacki's fault. I however still love them to pieces and miss them (and everyone else! gosh!) like burning. Sigh.

I HAVE A METALLICAR! Well, a mini one anyway. I bought a little metal keychain of a black 67 two-door Impala off of eBay and I finally got it today! It's ADORABLE and looks exactly like the boys' except for the two doors thing! I love it to bits.

I really don't want to be back at school. I nearly missed chemistry again - woke up at 8 AM when roomie's alarm went off and had to roll out of bed, find clothes in the dark, and get to class late. Sigh.

HOWEVER. Mitigating factor - I got a B+ on my orgo (translation: organic chemistry) test!! Yaaay!

Did I mention I have the PLAGUE? *headdesk*

On a much happier note, new Supernatural tomorrow! Yay!

HELLO HELLO to all my fabulous new friends from Wincon! Welcome to my crazy journal! I swear it's not all bitch bitch whine whine, but did I mention PLAGUE? ;) I look forward to seeing ya'll around!

SLEEP TIME. Before i have work and class and then work again. ARGH.

I love this icon because it's just a pretty shot of Jensen UNLESS you know what's going on - the little smile and the look in his eyes? Yeah, that's Dean breaking. Ohmyheart.

So yes, I am ALIVE.

It is 2:30 AM on Tuesday morning and me and my girls are in a Comfort Inn in Bumfuck, Maryland. We actually managed to find a hotel on the first try this time, YES! I drove for five hours and did not crash and kill us. Even when the truck smashed into the Impala when the girls were watching Devil's Trap in the back seat - yes I am proud of my composure. I am quite tired but of course we roll into this motel and immediately all go on our laptops. We are made of fangirly awesomeness.

Needless to say, the weekend was amazing. Everything about it. I loved it. Love love loved. I have a zillion FABULOUS pictures and will be posting those and a loooong recap at.... some point. We'll see. But yes, lots of picture sharing will be done, yay!

Random news bulletin: huggenkiss is the cutest thing in the universe. *smish!* She's on a plane right now to Australia, the poor darling. LOVE YOU AMANDA!!! ♥

I'm like drunkj right now and if you could hear me I"M TALKING SO COUNTRY. And this is the first time i've been in ths south and it's all star_dancer54's fault cause she's from Nashville so she talks southern and so tdoes JARED so i've been like rambling in southern and i keep declaring I"M NOT SOUTHERN and people just laugh at me and mona is the sweetest tthing everand i just clung to her as we walked to krystal's to get GREASE in the form of chilifries and i've been drinking water and basically doing everything right because fangrils are sweet and kind and telling me everythign i should do. A super cool person mixed me rum and cranberry juice and this unnamed person's pretty awesome guys, i love her. (I will talk about her separately later, LOL) And and and and and i cant think what to say next so im gonna take some advil and crash. i love you all goodnight!


i bought a lynyrd skynyrd tshirt today because ASH IS MADE OF AWESOMETHEEND.

Another post for you Winconners! (unlocked because hey the rest of you can know this stuff too!)

Things to know about me.

Hi, I'm ANNE.

1) I'm short. If we're in a crowded room, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to find me from any distance *g*
2) I'm GIGGLY. I laugh a lot when I'm talking to someone, especially if I'm excited about something, and at Wincon I am going to be PERPETUALLY EXCITED. So expect lots of hand gestures and giggles out of me. I hope I don't scare you!
3) I'm really not that shy. I think I am, but I am in more of an abstract way - like I think about socializing with people I don't know, and I get kind of scared, but then in the actual event I'm talkative and ebullient. And since I really do already know you, and I feel like you guys GET me a lot more than most other people, I am going to be extroverted and probably jumping all over you. :D
4) I stay up LATE and sleep in LATE. Though I'll try not to sleep in TOO late.
5) I don't drink/haven't drank. I mean, I've tried a couple things, but the most I ever drank was half a beer. I just detest the taste of alcohol. But Mona has promised to get me drunk, so I'll probably at least get tipsy at one point.
6) I'm 19. Ergo, underage. Ergo, no 21-and-over bars. Boo.
7) I love to sing. Carmates? Yeah that'll be me bustin out the House Rules at top volume *g* Luckily, I do have a good voice (I'm in choir and everything!) so I don't think I'll break your eardrums. I am also totally excited for karaoke :D

That's kind of all I've got for now! OMGYAY!

( ETA: So that people besides the ones on the Wincon filter can see what I look like... )

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*

This post of HAPPINESS and LOVE brought to you by an Anne that may spin apart into little pieces in the next few days, and who is attempting to prevent that as best she can.
