I don’t enter writing contests. The few times I have, I haven’t won. I don’t ever expect to win. Therefore, I don’t enter. Every time I think I’m going to enter, I remind myself, I never win. I did enter a contest within the past few years and didn’t even final, and that pretty much assured me I’d never to it again.
I saw Twilight. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t exactly *love* it — I liked it a lot, I was well-pleased with the experience, but I’m not dying to see it again, and sadly, I have not been swayed into RPatts worship. (Though I did say to my mom as we were watching, “He’s awfully hairy for a 17 year old.”) Don’t get me wrong, he’s cute and all, and I like the movie, but I’m not converted to Robertism. I’ll eagerly await the second movie.
I have lost the case to my ipod — this isn’t a major deal as the iPod itself is safe, which is important, and the case was just a free makeup bag that came with a purse my mom bought me a long time ago — but my headphones were in it. So. I can’t actually *use* my iPod with headphones until I find the case; more disturbing is the fact it’s missing since I was listening to my iPod in the car and therefore one might imagine the case to be there, perhaps fallen to the floor, under a seat. One might be incorrect in such imagination, as I’ve searched the car and haven’t found it. I’ll look again. This is particularly disturbing because I was going to go to my coffee shop for the first time in forever, and now I can’t, because without headphones, I can’t use my iPod, which is an essential tool in coffee shop writing.
Thanksgiving is coming. I am cooking. I am apparently cooking for quite a number of people. This gives me pause. Do I bother to clean the house before T-day? I had to throw away the Roomba since it ran over cat poo, and the Scooba simply doesn’t work. Should I bother cleaning my floors before they’re walked on by extra feet? Probably not.
I am probably completely — huh? I forgot what I was writing as I just got a text message from Superman telling me to take the turkey out. I was asking about a SIM card. I thought he meant “take that turkey out” calling the card a turkey as though he were a character in a play set in the late 1970s. This is not true. He actually meant the turkey.
Oh, right. I am probably completely finished with my holiday shopping, which includes birthday shopping. I did most of my shopping online this year. I think I bought too much, but that’s because I did it online, have been tucking stuff away and have forgotten what I bought.
And last but certainly NOT least:
OMG I AM TEWTALLY GOING TO THE SUPERNATURAL CONVENTION IN CHERRY HILL IN MARRRRRRCH! OMG!!!!!!!!!!
*swoons*
Prepare for the hysteria, people. I might come off as cool, suave and sophisticated, but I assure you, I am tewtally so NOT.
Jared Padalecki, wheeeee! (*prays for Jensen Ackles*)

PS– So, I get a lot of SPAM and now I’m getting a lot of gay porn spam — I’m not surprised, but you know…at least send me HOT gay porn spam. Not of hairy guys with beer bellies. I know, I know, hairy chubby guys deserve love too. But if you’re going to spam *me* please target me appropriately, FFS! Cuz what you’re selling? I ain’t buyin!

You have to take Jared a copy of your book. And remember to breath because for real, he is beautiful in person and you will drown in his dimples.
November 24th, 2008 at 10:53 am · Link
@Patty: I don’t know. I *would* give him a copy of my book but then I feel like I’d be a huge dork, he wouldn’t read it, and they mostly leave gifts behind, is what I heard. Though a book’s not the same as like, a hand-drawn sketch of him naked with wings, or something like that. Even so. I don’t want to be MORE of a doofus than I know I will be, anyway. Maybe I could just tell him I dedicated my book to him.
GAH, I’d still feel like a bung.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:06 am · Link
OK, so just have him autograph your book then. Don’t say anything just hold the page open and run off. No matter how much try try not to be a dork, you will dork out. Be warned. I can’t tell you anything about meeting Jensen since I haven’t but THAT actually scares me as I hear it is truely like staring into the sun. I might not be able to hold back the squee on that one.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:16 am · Link
@Patty: LOLOLOL!!!!! have him autograph my book but run away and leave him holding it. LOLOLOL
Yeah, that would leave a good impression.
I could just send it to him in the mail and never know what he thought about it, or if he even got it. Then I could just meet him for that 1.5 seconds while he smiles and I blush and we get our picture taken and then I’m shoved aside for the next person to take my place, and I walk away all warm inside but knowing I am only one of a thousand faces in the crowd…
This is why I don’t like meeting people!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:17 am · Link
@Patty: Oh, and yeah, I don’t think I could ever really meet Jensen because I would faint before I got the chance.
LOL!
Maybe not that bad. But I would probably stutter and stammer and stub my toe. Hey, then maybe I could trip and fall and he’d help me up.
Let’s weigh this: looking like a moron vs. being helped to your feet by Jensen Ackles?
Haha!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:47 am · Link
Hmmmmm
That is something to ponder. I might just be able to live with the embarressment of falling at his feet if it meant that Jensen would actually touch any part me and help me up and not his big, sweaty bodyguard. I am used to looking like a moron so that is nothing new.
You should at least send Jared a copy of your book. I hear he actually reads. Books, I mean. He should at least be able to make it past the dedication page!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:50 am · Link
@Patty: LOL! I’m not sure he’d like my book but hey, you know what? It gets cold up there in Canada. Maybe it would keep him warm, if nothing else.

Squeeeeee! Supernatural convention!
I bet JPad smells really, really good. Wow.
In other news, I’m going to go tomorrow to see Twilight. I decided to wait until a week day during the afternoon when all the kiddies would be in school so I wouldn’t have to hear the constant screaming and giggling and squeeing.
My own screams, giggles, and squees do not count.

@Jen: I bet he smells reaaaaaaallly good.

Clean AFTER.
I amke this horrid err in judgement every damn year. I clean the place so spotlessly that I could be featured in Better Homes and Gardens…..and for what?
Dropped cranberry salad that since it’s made w/ jello leaves red sticky shit everywhere.
Dropped drinks, coffee and whatever else can happen DOES happen! -LOL
Just run around and do the “quick” pick me up and RUB Pine Sol around the door jams of every room. (Hey, it was on the pine sol commercial and works FAB…everyone thinks you’ve cleaned all day!!! )
???? Roomba’s really work? Our Australian Sheppard sheds pretty bad..could it handle that?
Congrats on the “Supernatural” convention. Um, should someone suggest BODY GUARDS for the boys?
LMAO
I’m still saving up for the RT Convention in April!
Was supposed to be going to JumpCon in December in New Orleans as the Blood Ties gang was to attend as was “Duncan Mc Cleod”, but it went BELLY up w/ everyones Monies.
Live and learn.

ummm, he smelled of soap and warm man in June. (Yum) He is a sweater (and not the kind you wear)
Oh, and Twilight tonight after work and I can tell you right now, I will not be jumping on the RPatts train. While I like ‘em young, 20 years is as far as I am willing to go and not feel like a total perv (which I really am). He hair is out of control worse than mine!
November 24th, 2008 at 1:17 pm · Link
@Patty: So he smells like MAYUN!
Isn’t Rpatts like, 23?
November 24th, 2008 at 1:23 pm · Link
Oh and as for writing contests…..
I entered (2) stories for Yuletide (A sort of story gift exchange) the 1st one was accepted no prob, the 2nd..they GAVE BACK.
Suggested a Beta (I had, and used a Beta).
I bawled, then got peeved. Any other time critiquing is WANTED/NEEDED…but I hate when “gifts” are given back.

I think RPatt is 22. I like my men a little more manly these days. Tall and thick so I don’t tower over or crush even in my fantasies!
And yes! Jpad smell like man. I imagine Jensen smells like cookies.
November 24th, 2008 at 3:41 pm · Link
@Patty: what kind of cookies?
November 24th, 2008 at 3:43 pm · Link
@ Megan or Patty,
Did either of you catch the series “Blood Ties”?
Google Kyle Schmid!
I have never felt so bad for lusting after someone so damn young. He was like 22 or 23 in the series!!
Does it count that he played 450 PLus yrs old?-LOL
Ack Thud~
November 24th, 2008 at 5:11 pm · Link
Um, I have all of Blood Ties downlowded from itunes. He is kinda hot in that series. But not tall enough. He DOES do that smell thing I love which is why I watched the entire series over the course of a week.
I would think Jensen would smell like…fresh baked sugar cookies. Warm and right out of the oven. Although knowing his love of chocolate, he probably smells like chocolate cake. Maybe he would let you lick the spoon?
November 24th, 2008 at 5:32 pm · Link
He’s about 5ft 11. He was about an inch taller then me. (Squee just tall enough-LOL)
He hasn’t quite hit that “bulk” up stage though.
“you smell like death” Yep, that sniffing scene was pretty HOT!
He really has a quirky personality and was very “people” friendly at the convention.
November 24th, 2008 at 6:07 pm · Link
You lucky goober! Any chance of sneaking me in your suitcase. I’m pretty wee.
But you simply much take muchly piccies and share all the Paddy love…and Padackles love if Jensen is going too!
Have a wuvly Thanksgiving, we Canucks had ours back in October.
November 24th, 2008 at 6:46 pm · Link
You should give Jared a copy of your book with a hand-drawn picture of him with wings done *inside* the front cover. That way, he thinks—hey, book! It’s only later that he realizes what you’ve really done. Crafty, no?
I’ve never met the boys, but I hear they’re pretty nice to their fans. And I’m sure the bulk of the fans are as nervous as you are about meeting them in the flesh (so to speak). As much fun as a convention would be, I’d find it way too nerve-wracking myself. Falling down in front of Jensen would be the least that would happen to me–it’d be my luck that I’d have the nervous vomiting thing going on. But hey, you have fun!
Oh, and I’m with Dana: save the mega-cleaning for after all the people have left.
November 24th, 2008 at 6:49 pm · Link
I’m surprised I was able to keep up with your topic jumping. Having been up since 4am, I wouldn’t expect that of myself. Of course, the only really important part of your post was the information about the convention. Sounds like it will be a blast!
P.S. Good luck with getting the spammers to target you with the appropriate gay porn spam.

Cherry Hill NJ??? If so…HOLLA! LOL.
I was born there, lived in northern NJ and then back to cherry hill, easthampton area – worked at the Victoria’ s Secret in the Cherry Hill mall when I went to college the first time. I live on the west coast now – not too far from Seattle. Too bad I can’t time a visit home to family at the same time as the convention, lol. A girl can dream, right?

I’m pretty sure I won’t give him a copy of my book. I just…I dunno. It’s sort of lame. Giving it him, that is. The book’s pretty good.

@Nancy: I’m not holding my breath for Jensen to be there. I plan to just go and enjoy it no matter who is there!

Megan, I originally found Blood Ties on maybe Lifetime? Somewhere on cabel on a Sunday night. Then decided I needed to watch them all because, well, hot vampire?
As for Kyle Schmid? There is definatly something about him. He’s no Jensen or Jpad. Maybe when he gets a couple more years and pounds on him. He did just play a creepy bad guy on Smallville.
As for Twilight…I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it either. I can see that it is a wonderful movie for 16 year old girls. There were a couple of parts that made me cringe and not in a good way. But over all? I enjoyed it (much better than that new Bond movie!)
November 25th, 2008 at 2:51 pm · Link
Kyle did an exceptionally good job..amazing job at pulling off playing such a part at his young age.
He had that Vamp aura down pat. Suave and oh so sexy!
He said he channeled his Grandfathers actions and choice words.- LOL
But he was one smokin hot vamp!
November 25th, 2008 at 3:04 pm · Link
Oh yes, Blood Ties was yummy!
November 26th, 2008 at 8:55 am · Link
I apologize Megan, that comment I made about giving him the book was a bit flip. I know what you mean about feeling kind of funny giving him a copy of your book–I’m sure it’s very good. But, well, actually handing it to him in person? That would be a hard thing to do. I don’t blame you for hesitating.
November 26th, 2008 at 9:20 am · Link
@Beth: No need to apologize! I have no doubt that if I gave him a book he’d smile and say thanks and probably hug me and all that. *I* am the one who’d feel lame — *he* has always shown himself to be gracious to his fans. I’d just feel…dorky. I can’t explain precisely why.
Maybe because I wouldn’t want him to think the book is about him. (It’s not.) I mean, it’s an erotic novel, some folks don’t go for that sort of thing, anyway.
November 26th, 2008 at 10:04 am · Link
Oh, Megan! Fly your dork flag!
While not everyone is into erotica, I bet he would be thrilled to have a book dedicated to him.
PS. I hope you don’t mind us taking over your comments!

@Patty: Girl, I don’t have just a dork flag, I got the pole and the eagle on the top, too!
No, I don’t mind you taking over the comments. It’s fun!
