Goodbye! =D Well, kinda.

As most of you know, I've moved journals; I've also killed off my mostly-defunct web site, anyroad.org, and the associated spam-riddled email account, merry@anyroad.org. I haven't yet killed off merryish or merryish, but I haven't been posting anything to these journals for over a year now, and don't expect to be posting anything here in the future.

I've had a few people ask where they can find my Sentinel stories (ahaha! oh, dear) and whatnot. Answer: Everything I wrote prior to May 2010 can be found at Merry.

Everyone who was hosted at Anyroad either maintains their own fic site/journal now (kaneko, giddygeek, etc), or was not able to be reached before I shut down the site (which basically means Sis - if anyone is in touch with her, I kept all the stories, but I haven't been able reach her to get permission to give them to anyone or to post them anywhere).

If anyone is dying to know where I am now, PM me and I'll reveal my True Form. I'm not trying to be super-sekrit-stealth or sockpuppety; I just don't want the association of the two journals anywhere public/unlocked, for various RL and personal reasons.

Do we know how old Jared and Jensen's siblings are? I know the brothers are older and the sisters are younger, but that's about it.

Earlier today, arduinna posted an interesting review of the 2009 VVC premieres show that provides some good context for the warning discussion:

on warning at VividCon

Turning off comments on this post because I'm not a particularly conscientious discussion host /o\. =)

...approximately forty bazillion J2 AU stories. Many of them are ones I have read before. I'm not particular about my J2 coming in AU format, it's just that I found this list and that's what they are.

I think I may be developing a J2 problem.

Help!

1. I have been doing this ... not really whole foods thing, but this cutting-way-down-on-simple-carbs-and-sugars thing ... for about three weeks now, and I feel pretty good. It's definitely cut down on the needing a nap at 2pm every day. For a while there I just wasn't making it through afternoons conscious. I have more energy, more desire to leave the house and go do things. (this is also partly because the car is air conditioned while the house is not, but...)

2. J2 stories. Do they actually need people other than Jensen and Jared in them? I say no. J2 banter + kissing. Anybody who needs anything more is just a troublemaker, if you ask me!

3. Leverage. I was amused by the first part last night, but then at the end of the first part I realized I was just not on board with a second part at the time. So I haven't watched more than an hour. But I really liked getting to look at Eliot and Hardison again, and Parker is adorable as always, and apparently Nate and Sophie were there too but...I don't care. *kof* I'm sorry, I have tried to care, but I can't. I care about Nate once in a long while, but really, only insofar as Eliot seems invested in him. But Nate and Sophie can *stay,* you know, it's just, they're staying for other people. Not for me.

4. Someday we will have more Supernatural! In both live action and anime formats! This makes me wildly happy.

5. Job interview tomorrow! So wish me luck, please. I have made about as much of my own luck as I think I can, the rest will need to come from outside sources. I drove into Boston to make sure I knew how to get to the place, and where to park, and how much parking will cost; then I went into the first building and found the best route to the OTHER building I will have to go to after the first building. Then I went into the OTHER building and double checked to make sure I knew what floor etc. All this accomplished in stealthy sneakiness, in my disguise as an incredibly sweaty chick in shorts and sneakers with no makeup on. Tomorrow when I am actually put together, no one will recognize me. (Seriously. I expect to startle my cats on the way out the door.)

06:11 Merry: either there is remarkably little Sam/Callen fic on the internet
06:11 Merry: or I am looking for it wrong.
06:11 * Merry pokes despondently at delicious.
06:11 Arduinna: I think there is remarkably little
06:11 Merry: how can this be?


In short! I have finished mainlining S1 of NCIS:LA, and since that is all of it that there is, I am ready for the internet to be bringing me to the Sam/G fic. But I can't find very much. Is there some secret code people are using on delicious.com?

Sam/G brings me, well... quite a lot of G-rated stories about Sam Winchester. Not helpful! Who wants to read *G-rated* stories about Sam Winchester? (ok, me, in certain moods! but not right now.)

Sam/G, Sam/Callen, Callen/Hanna... I know it's a new show but these two are very clearly snuggling every time they are not actually fighting crime together, so it's got to be out there, right?

Recs, anybody? =D I would be very grateful!

So, please don't spoil me for this ep or past it. :)

But I am extremely curious!

Who, exactly, is in charge of this outfit? Is it Hetty? I thought it was, since she clearly communicates with the higher ups and is reported to and controls the purse strings. But in 1.21 (sob!) Callan was the one who was actually running the team.

So now I am lost! Is there a canonical structure I'm missing, where Hetty runs the administrative show and Callan runs the team, or has fanon compensated for lack of same, or...?

Asked and answered, in comments. Thanks, carbonel, jumpuphigh, green_grrl, and movies_michelle!

...because I am so far behind on answering comments to other posts, I will never catch up. Woe! But I love you guys. Most of you. =D

Good things about today:

* I have already exercised for the day. I've been exercising again the past week or so and I feel less stiff and creaky than I did before I started. I am still too young to be stiff and creaky, so this is \o/. (I will feel like I am too young to be stiff and creaky when I am 80.) I secretly yearn to be one of those people who bounds out of bed in the morning and pops off 100 sit-ups and pushups or whatever and then goes for a run. Of course to achieve that at this point in my life I would need a full-body transplant, but what the hell. You need goals.

* Adam Lambert wants me to watch his new video! He emailed me just now!

* I woke up with a cat in my bed. It was the wrong cat, but sometimes you take what you can get. I wonder what cat my room mate woke up with?

* I have coffee. And I used to have a bagel, but now it is gone. YUM.

* I wrote 1000 words of snarky J2 last night. I haven't ever written J2 before. It was interesting and kind of fun. I think I made Jared's shirt the wrong color though.

* I am two episodes away from the finale of S1 of Fringe. I am shipping Olivia/Peter so hard, people! Olivia is awesome, one of my very favorite characters in anything, and Peter is adorable, and not just because he used to be Pacey. They should hang out more. All of this mad-scientist-thwarting is getting in the way of my 'ship.

* NCIS:LA really is as slashy as everyone said it was. Good job, people.


Bad things about today:

* I am out of sunflower seeds. But I suppose I can fix this if I ever leave the house.

Sometimes in my email box I get a notice that someone has friended me on Facebook, or that someone wants me to... do something? join something? see something? something with farm animals? I don't even know? on Facebook.

I have no idea what to do about any of that, just so you know! And I have very little interest in learning. Facebook irritates the hell out of me. The interface is bizarre. The like/don't like thing seems facile and pointless to me. I only use it to stay in touch with people from places I used to work. I tried for a while to use it regularly but I fail, fail, fail. I just dun liek it.

So if you add me on Facebook, I will probably eventually get around to adding you back, but then I will just sit there like a lump. I don't read it, don't say anything in it, don't do anything with it.

I'm sorry! I have no idea how fandom found me there, and I don't mind that it did; it just makes me feel like my friends there have Expectations of Interactivity with me on Facebook that will never be fulfilled. And I have guilt about that. So I thought I should warn you that there will be none.

Two journals, email, ichat and irc are as much interactivity as my brain can handle, I guess.

From laughingacademy comes news of a new version of seasons 1 and 2 of Supernatural, in anime form, from the makers of Death Note:

The anime will be a 22-episode season that will cover the storyline of the live-action version's first two seasons. The first volume will ship on January 12 with the first two episodes. On February 2, the "Box 1" set will ship with episodes 3 to 12. On April 6, the "Box 2" set will ship with episodes 13 to 22. (There will be a different release schedule for the rental version of the project.)

The anime project will not only remake the best episodes from the live-action version, but also depict original episodes not seen in the live-action version. Those original episodes will include prologues of the Winchester brothers' childhood, anime-only enemies, and episodes featuring secondary characters from the live-action version.

ZOMG. AWESOME. This idea works for me on SO many levels. The part of me that adores remixes and remakes, the part of me that adores Sam & Dean, and the part of me that adores particularly seasons one and two! Also the part of me that is currently squealing "ZOMG WEE TINY ANIME!SAM&DEAN!" on an infinite loop in my head. =D

Can. Not. Wait.
