Random squee and concern...

My Horoscope is starting to scare me: It's very sweet of you to work so hard for others. Awfully nice to take on so much on their behalf. Because they'll all be so wonderfully grateful. Not. Don't be so gullible, Capricorn - 'no' is not a dirty word. (from the Metro again)

So um... do any of you guys write the horoscopes for the Metro? Because they know me. They must do...

Made some icons last night - am kinda blown away with the response at the moment, although mostly it's the Jensen factor I'm sure!

Didn't manage to fix INAP yet, will try to fix it Sunday but...

Tonight's the Scottish Fen Posse Party! I can't actually believe it's come around so quickly! Yay! Can't *wait* to see you guys! (Damn, I just remembered I forgot to pick up my digital camera this morning - crap!)

And I had my MP3 player on this morning when I was first in the office, I was going to get water for the kettle and 'Come Around More Alabama' came on as I was walking through an empty office with a 2 litre bottle of water in my hand and I literally bounced on my toes and grinned like a lunatic. It struck me just at that particular moment that I'M GOING TO BE SEEING HIM IN THE FLESH ON MONDAY!!!!!!

*grins*

(I'm feeling better now, can you tell?)

Oh, and dude... I didn't realise how used to power steering I was until mine cut out on me last night. I drive a 1.4 litre Ford Fiesta, it's not a big car, but man... it's *heavy*! So parking at [livejournal.com profile] wenchpixie's place is going to be fun tonight - on street parking in a strange place with no power steering... yeah...

ETA OH!! [livejournal.com profile] wenchpixie and [livejournal.com profile] amy_star_ - thank you both soooo much! I got your beta comments on the fic and will be fixing it up and posting it soon! *hugs*

Am I right in thinking I should finish season 1 of SPN before Monday so that I don't get thrown out before I get let in?!*bg*

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
To quote Dean: "Hell, Yeah!"

*grins*

Actually, I'm thinking the talk will be mostly "STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" with a few pauses for people to catch their breath but...

And you still haven't finished it yet? *rolls eyes*

[identity profile] acrazywench.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
I've watched all of season 2 though and episode one twice :)

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
ROFLOL!!!

Okay, that's the oddest way of watching the show I've ever heard of... but hey, if it works for you then... *grins*
What time are you getting into London at? Where are we meeting? I NEED DETAILS!!!

[identity profile] acrazywench.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea when I'm getting into London! I've just filled in my holiday card, so that's a start :)

Ok, I've looked at National Rail and the route that's best either gives me the option of getting into London Kings Cross at lunchtime (12.30) or early tea-time (4.46 or 5.04). (I'll try the lunchtime approach.) (Of course this is all subject to favourable weather conditions, if there's lots of raining and flooding I might not get there at all!) What time are you getting into London?

We can meet anywhere you like, hun:) Are we dropping stuff off before going to see the lovely man? And if so, where would we be dropping it? (I may try and pop in on a friend and her new baby on Monday or Tuesday, but I'm thinking Tuesday might be best so that it doesn't get too confusing.)

Is where we're staying near Putney? Should I bring any food/drink etc. in addition to a sleeping bag?

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely no clue at all.

*g*

this is why I need details... I dunno where Cat stays but I don't think it's all that close to Putney to be honest. I'm getting in at 6:30 in the am so any time you can get into London works for meeting up!

[identity profile] acrazywench.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The lovely mate with baby is pretty close to Putney so that was prompting my combining thoughts for Monday, but I could always pop back out that way on Tuesday if Monday's going to be all busy. I am thinking I'll keep a wary eye on the weather and not buy my train ticket until Monday though since today one tube line is closed and another is severly disrupted because of flooding. Victoria has also been flooded.

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It's odd to think of the weather being that bad down there, we're still doing pretty well weatherwise right now.

You're still coming though, aren't you?

[identity profile] acrazywench.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, the only reason I'm not buying my train ticket until Monday is to be on the safe side, if the trains get cancelled etc. I only lose the Steve ticket price as opposed to the Steve ticket price plus £60 train fare!

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

I'll be most upset if you're not there.

(is the weather really that terrible? I haven't really been watching the news or anything...)

[identity profile] acrazywench.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well the wet stuff hit us this afternoon - it feels like a very grey, wet November day and cold to boot - and I think it's going to be wet tomorrow. (Quite ironic as this weekend is the town's water festival!*g*) Down South in Croydon and places like that it sounds as though they've had about two months' rain in a day. (There are some piccies on the beeb's website.)

Ah cannae believe a daughter of Scotland ta have trouble with a wee car such as that. :D

BTW, I don't have a license, so I'd prolly die if I tried it without going to the gymn for a few weeks first. :)

Also, enlighten me on something... What's up with the Faith/Dean that some people seem to love?

Because to me, it seems like Dean would see Faith as something not natural...

Yay Friday!

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Aye weel, y'ken, am fair ferfochen frae awrat hurlin' cabers aboot...

*grins*

It's like a whole other language right there!

Faith/Dean... oh my crossover OTP (which I actually wrote a li'l bit of yesterday of all things!). My thinking is that yes, if he knew what she was straight off then she would be on the supernatural list and therefore would be something to hunt* but if he saw her as a person first and later on learned about her Slayerness then he would possibly come to accept it in much the same way he's coming round to accepting Sam's 'abilities'.

*I'm wary of going into detail here because I know you'd had trouble getting new episodes for a while - did you manage to see all of season two yet?

[identity profile] jgracio.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, well, ya'know, mumble mumble around." :D

Look, he might not want to kill Tara (that's a crossover waiting to happen, Spike/AU!Tara), but he wouldn't be shagging her, IMO. :)

And Sammie's a special case in the whole accepting thing.

Haven't seen it all yet, so I might be outdated in my thinking.

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's akin to the Xander/Anya debate - he went from seeing thigs as good/bad with nothing in between to dating and planning to marry an ex-demon with a pretty impressive kill score sheet.

I'll say no more because season two does explore the shades of grey for Dean and I don't want to spoil you there.

[identity profile] jgracio.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
Xander's the whacky sidekick. He can just change opinion and it's funny hah hah.

For a "serious" protagonist to change opinion like that, death, ressurection, PTSD must be involved. :D

*bites tongue*

not saying a word...

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
(Plus, Faith/Dean? C'mon, they're just hot...)

[identity profile] jgracio.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
If that was the biggest part of my thinking I'd be a Fuffy or something. :D

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
*grins*

mmmm Fuffy...

:p

Wheesht. You make stunning, stunning icons. People like them because they're good.

I haven't charged my camera batteries yet, but you can take pics with it too, if you wish. They're liable to be better'n mine. I do good pictures of buildings, which none of you people are.

I AM SO EXCITED MY BRAIN'S ALL STUCK IN CAPS LOCK. *snugs*

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I make some really good icons, a lot of mediocre ones and some absolutely crap ones. The mediocre ones tend to be lifted in quality because they have pretty people in them... *grins*

Only reason I meant to bring my camera was because as a photographer I'm less likely to be in the pictures... Purely selfish reasons!

(Say hi to [livejournal.com profile] angelnetgirl for me! I've got her text this morning but can't get a good enough signal to reply...)

They're... okay. Most of the time...

but I don't wanna...

*grins*

yeah, I've apparently been saving up all my good moods this week for today.
wenchpixie: (hell yeah dean)

I'm outta here in ten minutes and have been taking to giggling like a four year old :)

HEEHEEHEE.

I've gotten no work done today at all!

Ha!

CAPRICORNS FTW!!!

Dude, your icons are freakin amazing! I'm going to snag some as soon as I get to my own computer...which may be Saturday lol

SQUEE! Can't wait to see you!!! I'm so excited lol! What time are you heading over?

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Capricorns should rule the world. Apparently we're sensible. No, really, that's what I keep hearing...

BOUNCES!!! It's the afternoon now! Only a few hours to go! I can't leave work till 5 'cause there's no one else here right now, so it'll probably be about half past before one of you gets a phone call from me saying "Um... I'm lost!"

Rotfl :D

awesome. I suck at directions for I do not know this right and left of which you speak, but am remarkably good at working out where people actually are when they call

I have my trusty AA route planner thingy with me and am choosing to ignore it's instruction to take the Kingston Bridge. (Seriously, from the West End it wants me to go into the city centre and take the bridge instead of... say going through the tunnel and joining the M8 that way...)

But yeah, I would expect a phone call if I were you...

Have FUN at the concert sweetie. I expect a full report.

Your Priestly icons are awesome (as always) and I'm dithering over which ones to take.

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Grazie! There will be a full report and hopefully pictures as well!

*blushes* thanks!

That horoscope is rather scarily pertinent to another Capricorn right now...
