sauntering vaguely downwards

'sup, y'all? how's tricks? :)

okay, i've got like five million half-written posts that i've been trying to finish since like, *looks at lj calendar* ... uh, yeah. obviously, if i wait until i finish any one of them to post anything, well, who knows when i will post again?

so, to get back in the swing of things, i found a meme (somewhere? i don't know where...) that looks like it could be fun for all (read: you get to do most of the work!):

all you have to do is comment to this post with questions you'd like to know about me. whatever strikes your fancy. it can be as simple as "what's your favorite movie?" (actually, if you know me at all, you know that's not a simple question) to "how old were you when you got your first kiss?" or whatever. fandom-related questions are allowed, of course!

it's like spin the bottle, but with no bottle. and no closet. and no kissing of any kind really. and the non-existent bottle is pointed forever at me.

*closes eyes* *clicks post button*

let the games begin!

eta: just a quick note - since fandom related questions are allowed, comments might contain spoilers. :)

man, you guys!

as most of you know, i'm not one to make a big fuss about my bday (mainly because i suck so bad at remembering everyone else's bday). so, imagine my surprise to log on last week and see so many bday wishes for meeeee! as per usual, my mum sent a ridiculously large bouquet (she's a leo, what can you do?), which was awesome except that it was a bouquet of chocolate covered strawberries that i didn't get until almost 6p. yeah, that's right, no one around to help me eat them. and i just changed the weight on my dl, too.

and then if that wasn't fantastic enough, around 11pm i started seeing loads and loads of jared picspam because HIS birthday was on the 19th. so, you know, thank you jared. :)

in conclusion: flist, you are AWESOME! thank you for all of the birthday wishes!

more soon re. hp book 7 and my whirlwind july. no really. i swear!

sitting at the farm at the grove. where o where is lenabee? *cries*

also, pistachio-encrusted chicken fingers - very ill-conceived, and not just because of the slight green tinge it gave.

supernatural to hit comic-con

dear brain:

hey, how's it goin'? long time, no talk, I know. things have been kinda busy around here lately.

so, i don't know if you recall, but we've had discussions on this topic previously. i thought we had an understanding, you know? at least, i thought, we'd agreed to disagree. don't ask, don't tell. that kind of thing.

see, here's the deal: when you decide to dream about jared padalecki, it should look at LOT more like this and A LOT LESS less like jared dressed as the man in the yellow hat. (although, i always liked the man in the yellow hat... and i did, for a while, think the man in the yellow hat was a fireman, which given that i watched "devil's trap" the other night sorta makes sense BUT STILL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR YOU BRAIN.)

if this continues, i'll have to take drastic measures.

dear firefox:

i'm sorry, darlin', but i think our time together has come to an end. it's not you, it's me and my old bf safari, who apparently went away and found himself and is now back and really has his shit together this time, so i'm gonna give it a shot.

and in conclusion, a meme - from dionneshea:
1. My username is _____ because ____.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

( what's your name, little girl? )

i feel it is my duty to post this RIGHT AWAY:

( harry and the potters - back on tour for summer 2007! )

i've only posted the socal dates, but you can find the full tour schedule here.

i was going to cut this, but how often to you hear from me these days? i think y'all can stand a little enkelispam. besides, i cut SOME of them. consider this a compromise. :)

- 'member how i was going to have jury duty and get lots of things typed up and posted? 'member that? yeah, that didn't happen. but i suppose you all figured that out by now. you're a crafty lot, you are! so, in short, i win! but i also lose. but! i have all of those awesome spn posts written down *waves notebook*. and jury duty was rescheduled.

- joss is no longer doing wonder woman. too bad, so sad. HOWEVER. this means he's TOTALLY free to write an ep of supernatural. puhleeeeeeze? if it's good enough for ben edlund...? i will totally let you stalk me again at comic-con, joss!

- JOHNNY FUCKING MARR IS WORKING WITH MODEST MOUSE. WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS!!!11!11eleventyone!!11 just for that, y'all should go and download their new single IMMEDIATELY.

- ( dear jared: i didn't mean to stalk u baby. xoxo, me. )

- from the spam folders: message subject "fw:Jared getting HOT". um, excuse me, spammers - where the hell have you been? APPARENTLY YOU HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE BINDERS SPAMMERS.

- dear earth, i'm sorry about global warming. no really i am. but for serious, if you're going to freeze over in a big snow hurricane tornado thinger, then pleasepleaseplease trap me in a library with jake gyllenhaal. your friend, me.

- I HAVE ORDERED TWIN PEAKS SEASON TWO FROM AMAZON. like, i cried when i clicked on the purchase now button. that being said, FANDOM YOU ARE NOW ON NOTICE. first johnny marr, now this? why hast thou forsaken me, fandom?

- finally, someone explains rps in terms i can understand. *g* (ps. never stop being CRAZYawesome, supernatural fandom.)

- oh! yeah, so there's this book coming out this summer. guess it's sort of a big deal or something because people are already talking about it and like books come out every summer and stuff? yeah. in the immortal words of ron weasley: you're gonna suffer, but you're gonna be happy about it.

- ( wherein enkeli almost causes traffic mayhem. )

- so, if you don't know what the tca press tour is, you probably won't care about this next bit. but if you doooooo, ( you might actually petition to have my fangrrl membership revoked after i explain this next bit to you. )

- also, i guess you figured out that holiday cards didn't really happen. but never fear! i've still got something to send those of you who filled out my little poll. i've not given up yet!

- IPHONE. yeah, i think that pretty much nails it.

still to come (some day... er, yeah): enkeli world tour '07: memphis, tn!

all right, youse. i have a LOT going on: my current "outage", lots of supernatural to recap, my wife to murder, guilder to blame for it, etc. etc.. but there are only so many more days until YOU KNOW WHEN and i need your address! (granted, i might already have your address, but humor me. even if you KNOW i have it, put it in the poll. don't worry; no one can see the answers but meeeeee.)

[Poll #891589]

so, last year, i let y'all choose what kind of card you want. this year? ITS A CHRISTMUKAHTATORSHIP. besides, if you require something other than a red and green holiday card, i probably know.

ALSO. like last year, if you live outside of the US, DONT BE AFRAID OF MY POLL. just because i screwed up on the postage last year and you didn't get your enkelicard(tm) doesn't mean i didn't try, yeah? (what? i had them in a bundle with a bunch of other cards and maybe they didn't have postage on and for whatever reason they weren't sent back to me. point: they were in the pile and filled with holiday cheer!!)

WHY ARE YOU STILL READING AND NOT TYPING OMG?!?

um, hi. :) so, i know it's been forever. but seriously, every time i get some time to write in this thing, something work-related comes up. it also doesn't help that i've been working, for all intents and purposes, two jobs since about... may? this year? yeah. more on My Life Since 17 July later.

just to illustrate - paint a word picture, if you will - of how life conspires against my blogging, i give you, gentle readers, exhibit a, in the case of enkeli vs. livejournal: the glorious text you see below? i meant to post it TWO THURSDAYS AGO (along with a little recap of spn 2.01 "in my time of dying") when, you know, it would have been RELEVANT. instead i got stuck in waaaay too much holiday traffic, tried to catch up on sleep (failed), had a week's worth of all-day meetings, bollocks'd up my jury duty (rescheduled for this week, yay), and now can't get my wireless router to work.

but, you know what? in the spirit of POSTING SOMETHING, i say fuck it. you get it now.

so, take yourself back, back, back. maybe you'd had too much turkey. maybe you and your little brother got into a fight with the reddi whip (what, it happens). it was thanksgiving and you were, um, giving thanks. *g*

( stuff for which i am thankful )

boy, that's a lot.

and since i'm clearly on a roll, and i've got most of it typed anyway, you'll be getting that supernatural recap, too. but like, not now. i've even got one for "everybody loves a clown". actually, i've got one for each ep this season, just never finished them, because - well, we already went through this, didn't we? also, most of them consisted of "askfs'a;sfkdj'alhkf" and "oh, dean!" i guess it's a good thing i will have a lot of time on my hands waiting in the jury duty green room tomorrow.
