Ok, I'm off again until Sunday night. See you then!

Mood: relaxed Tags: # vacation

I am DRUNK! And I've eaten like five TONS of sushi and drunk four glasses of white wine and one of red (which I know isn't a lot but it is if you haven't eaten anything all day until the massive amount of raw fish). And we laughed so much and I told dirty stories about hubby's white bottom traumatizing the whole east side of Iceland and they teased me about the boob pic of me on Facebook (cute gay guy drinking beer from a bottle wedged between my breasts that vampyran posted completely unlocked, lmao. Not that I care, they all know I'm a big perv.) And then we took the bus home and it's not even eleven and I'm drunk off my ass! I LOVE being on vacation! Wheee!

And now we're gonna watch Leverage and hopefully snuggle a bit. And tomorrow we're going out of town for the weekend to stay in a cabin to eat good food, drink more wine and soak in the hot tub.

Man, my life is AWESOME!

It was a good day today.

Slept until 11:30 (which killed my back but who cares). Then we went downtown and met up with my sister and her husband and baby who I haven't seen since Xmas. We had coffee and then went to look at the ducks at the pond (and the boy ran around chasing the pigeons and almost falling into the pond, giving me a heart attack). Then we strolled up the shopping street, looking at shoes. And did I mention I was wearing my new sexy high heeled sandals? Did I even tell you I had new sexy high heeled sandals? Me, high heels! Again! Like I told the girls last weekend, "I've bought two pair of high heels in less than six months. I think I'm turning into a woman!" mr_felis very much approves, seeing as he doesn't have to bend down as far for some nice smooching. lol

Anyway, after we said goodbye to them (and I changed shoes because high heels were NOT made for walking that much) hubby dropped me off at the coffeehouse and I sat working on the book for 5 hours. Just got back an hour and a half ago. Wasn't as productive as I wanted to be but after not having opened Word since Saturday just getting anything done feels good.

And to make my day even better I found out that causette and some anonymous person had mentioned me at the spn_anon_love meme. *hugs you*

And then we grilled burgers for dinner and now I'm sitting here, sipping beer.

You know what? My girl is coming back tomorrow from staying with her grandma up east all week, we're invited to sushi at my brother's tomorrow night, we're celebrating mother-in-law's birthday out in the country on Saturday (I'm making my famous lemon meringue pie), the weather has been fabulous, I have over a month left of my vacation, I'm going to have hot and horny sex as soon as the boy is asleep... My life is GREAT!

I really need to adjust my sleeping pattern to normal hours again. *groans*

( SPOILERS! )

I found this on hubby's laptop. I'd totally forgotten I'd even written this. It's since sometime this April. I think I haven't posted it before, at least I can't see it tagged anywhere. Anyway, I'm in a posting mood so here you go.

Title: When in Rome
Author: felisblanco
Pairing: Jensen/Jared, pre-slash I guess we can call it, rather than one-sided.
Wordcount: 1350 words
Summary: It’s a Friday afternoon in Rome when, without realizing, Jensen falls suddenly and completely unexpectedly in love with Jared.
Warning: Unbeta'd so all and any mistakes are completely mine. Did I even show you this, winchesterxgirl? I can't remember.

Soon as we've aired out the smell of two cats having been locked in for over two weeks I'm going to sleep in a proper bed for the first time since June 25th. I can't wait!

Seriously, my mother must have bought the cheapest mattress available in IKEA for her cabin. And for the last three nights we've slept in the tent. On air mattresses but you can't move in those damn sleeping bags. I felt like a fly trapped in a spider's net, all wrapped up and squeezed tight. Can't wait to stretch out on a proper mattress. Plus the fog came in almost every night and it was COLD!

I feel guilty staying for such a short time at my aunt's and uncle's but I was getting so sick from all the smoke. And what's the use in being there to see them when you have to leave the room every time my aunt's daughter or/and my mom's brother lit up? I felt like such a bad person because I kept walking off to get away but I just felt so nauseous all the time. Like I had a ball of tar in my throat. Not to mention letting the kids breathe that in all the time. I know my aunt and uncle look forward to me coming every year and then I just stayed two whole days instead of the usual 5-7, and I didn't even spend that whole time with them. *sighs* They're getting so old too (80 and 88) so I never know when will be the last summer I see them. Also one of the old ladies I've known all my life (she is going to be 90 in August) got sick and taken to hospital and no one expects her to come back. And I didn't stop by the hospital to see her before I left because we were so late getting going and it would have delayed us yet another hour. (It takes about 9 hours driving and we didn't get started until 2 pm.) So yeah, feel guilty about that too. *double sigh*

Anyway, got my bed back and my internet back and my ibook back and my cranky cats and my couch and Livejournal and proper latte and TV! Man, it's good to be home.

[ETA. Am also downloading Torchwood. Can't wait! (DON'T SPOIL ME!)]

Mood: tired Tags: # rl, vacation

Haha! Internet!! *waves to you all*

Only popping in for a short while because I'm supposed to be sociable. We're still up north, visiting relatives. My aunt turned 80 yesterday so we went on a trip to Dimmuborgir and Mývatn and then ate at a place called Narfastaðir. Got wonderful weather and had a fun time all around. There were 13 of us but since two of those were my kids we only counted them as one so no bad luck at our table. lol

We're camping outside the house since there are so many here. Just as well since my aunt's daughter and my mom's brother both smoke like chimneys INSIDE the damn house and I suffocate everytime I have to sit in the same room as them. We arrived here Tuesday night and I've tried to stay as much out of their way as I can when they're smoking but my throat still burns and I feel nauseous all the time. I HATE having to breathe in smoke, especially inside. Ugh.

I finally got to see the video fatedcinderella did as an intro for The Doors of Time and it's amazing. If you haven't seen it you can find it over here. I especially love the part when he's playing and all the music notes come streaming out of the piano.

We'll be going home tomorrow or Saturday, haven't decided yet. My flist is probably at skip gazillion so I have no idea what's been going on. Oooh, and I can't wait to dive into the heap of fic waiting for me over at spn_j2_bigbang

Ok, gotta go. *smooch*

Mood: cheerful

omg you guys! *flails*
Fatedcinderella did a vid to The Doors of Time!
I can't watch it on the phone but knowing her and reading the comments I'm sure it's awesome.
I can't do links but you should find it at her journal. Go look!

Mood: excited Tags: # the doors of time

hi!
Still in mom's cabin. Stole hubby's phone to get online. Drinking white wine and writing. Have almost 20 k of Doors timestamps. There are sheep watching me. Also me and hubby both dreamt about Paris Hilton while taking a nap. O.o
Ok gotta go

I was going to post my usual sunbathing kitties picture but Scrapbook is being an ass and won't let me in. *kicks it*

Anyway...

I'm off!

Driving approx. 8 hours to mom's cabin. They predicted rain all the way but at least here it's still sunny. *crosses fingers for ongoing good weather*

There's a small town with a cafe about half an hour away from the cabin that I think has free internet, not sure. If it does I might check in some day. If not I'll see you again in about 3 weeks or around July 11th.

*hugs all around*

Mood: bouncy Tags: # vacation

I had possibly the weirdest dream I've ever had last night. I dreamt I was posting a timestamp for Doors and it had a piece of music embedded. But instead of coding I accidentally just added it to the mix. The mix which suddenly was a batch for chocolate cake. And the song was the kind of cocoa you use for instant hot chocolate. And then I suddenly remembered that damn, it was supposed to be a code using a link to the site where the song was hosted. In panic I tasted the batch and thankfully it still tasted fine. So I then did the coding thing online and voilá, the cake was ready for posting. O.O

What does that even mean!?! I really have no idea. Except maybe that I've been deprived of chocolate too long. My head is weird!

Another WTF moment. Went to the library today to confess we had lost a book we borrowed over a year ago. Only to find out someone had already turned it in July 3rd last year. We weren't even in the country then! O.O

It was a Teenage Ninja Turtles book the boy had got and my only guess is he left it somewhere and someone found it and returned it. Still, weird. Damn, if I'd known I hadn't been staying away from the library so long, knowing we couldn't borrow anything until we returned it. I'd searched everywhere and was so sure it had to be in the apartment and the only reason I gave up now and went to pay for it was because we wanted to borrow books for our trip. Anyway, we got a lot of books. I pretty much raided the library for Joanne Harris, hoping for more inspiration.


Ah yes, we're going out of town tomorrow. And will be gone for approx. 3 weeks. With no internet and hardly any electricity either. *hyperventilates* If I survive our estimated time of return is around July 11th or 12th. We're taking hubby's laptop and he's stealing every battery he can find at his job so I shall hopefully be able to write some. I also have a nice new notebook and I printed out and had wired the script for Doors. I feel kinda excited to finally have time to sit down and work on it. *bounces*

I actually do have a Door timestamp ready for posting (which is probably why my subconsciousness decided to go all weird on me) which I'm contemplating whether to post before I go or not. I feel kinda uncomfortable posting new stuff before finishing answering comments to the original but to be honest, that is still months away. I've answered maybe 125-150 and that's maybe 1/3 of all. I love you guys, I love every comment each and every one of you have left and I feel awful for not having replied already but gah! They're so many! NOT complaining, God no, just really really overwhelmed.

Ok, gotta run fetch the boy from his very last day of kg (we're bringing them flowers and chocolate) and then go buy him some pants because he's put a hole in every single pair he owns except one pair of gray sweatpants. He's like the master of destruction when it comes to pants, seriously.

I'll probably spam you more tonight. After all, three weeks without internet coming up!! *flails*

A few songs I've been listening to today:

Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur. This played towards the end in American Wedding when they're walking on the beach. Been looking for this for a while but never knew what it was called. Then the movie was on TV last nigth and I caught the lyrics and finally tracked it down.

keepaofthecheez introduced me to Michael Bublé some time ago and I went looking for more. He has an amazing voice, very sensual. I dare you to listen to Fever and NOT get turned on.
Fever / Michael Bublé
Moondance / Michael Bublé

Finally this: Harm/Slow by Loney, Dear. It's just pretty. And kinda sad.

Mood: peaceful Tags: # downloads, music

The power went off the whole neighbourhood last night just as I was working on answering comments. I took it as a clear sign that I should go to bed. Well, it was around 1 am. Just as well, the kids woke up around 6 am!! Thankfully they are quite happy sitting in front of the TV for hours while their parents sleep. I did manage to finish answering comments though this morning instead. Yay me!

But that's not what this post is about. It's about this:

Today is our TEN YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!! Ten frigging years. You won't believe how fast they've gone by. I'd post a wedding picture but I don't have a scanner and I don't think I have any digital ones.

We're dropping the kids off at the inlaws in an hour and then driving out of town on a nostalgic trip, visiting the church where we got married and just being disgustingly schmoopy and romantic. The weather is glorious, hubby has promised to leave his phone at home (it's been ringing non-stop for days because of the whole Icesave thing) and we're taking a picnic and just having a nice time, just the two of us. (I'm bringing condoms!)

Anyway, until tomorrow... *waves*

Mood: loved Tags: # anniversary, feedback

So... Big Bang turned out quite alright. *beams*

I was going to try answer all the comments tonight so I don't fall so far behind like I usually do but I'm not sure I'll make it. (Seriously, I do plan to answer all the comments to Doors. With time. But, you know, 'time' is a very stretchable term. It can go into infinity. Ehem. *headdesk*)

Also because I won't be home tomorrow, will probably be busy this weekend and then on Thursday or possibly Wednesday we're going away for almost three weeks. To non-internet territory. *hyperventilates* Even worse, for 7-10 days of those I'll be in mom's cabin. Which has little to no electricity. *breathes into paperbag, clutching iBook to chest*

I'm taking with me the script for the Doors rewrite and a big notebook. And my Mukka so I can make as much latte as I want to keep my brain working. (And lube and condoms for other kind of inspiration.) But still, not having my laptop will be HARD! Also, it means I won't even be able to save BB fic for reading, not there anyway. *pouts*

Oooh, hubby brought me ice cream.

Fic title: Taking Turns (Holding This World)
Author name:felisblanco
Artist name: sweet_lyri
Genre: RPS
Pairing: Jensen/Jared (Chris/Steve)
Rating: NC-17
Word count: approx. 56.000
Warnings: AU. Mentions past abuse: some physical/emotional child abuse and BRIEFLY touches sexual but VERY VAGUELY!

Summary: When rich boy Jensen Ackles decided to get out from under his father's thumb and run away from home he didn't expect to be robbed in broad daylight, mistaken for a hooker, beaten up by a tattooed maniac and have his life saved by a really cute street kid. All in one day.

Jared Padalecki on the other hand didn't expect to be thrown in jail for his trouble.

As love stories go, this one didn't exactly have the best beginning.

(For spn_j2_bigbang. This is a modern, non-magical take on Disney’s Aladdin where Jared is the street rat, Jensen is the rich boy from The Hills, Tom and Mike are the evil lawyer and his crazy lackey, Chris and Steve are the ones that come to the rescue and Chad is a monkey Chad.)

*groans* I forgot to put my glasses on this morning and now the screen keeps going out of focus because my eyes get tired. I've only been using them for about 6 months so you'd think I'd be ok without them. Well, obviously I am ok enough to not notice that I don't have them on. Until I have to look at a computer that is. *sighs* And I'm going writing after work. *double sigh*

This is going to be a long day.

Mood: blah Tags: # felis the moron, glasses

I'm listening to Gabriel Fauré (mostly the Requiem on repeat) and now I want to write about Sam and Dean being choir boys. *headdesk* Which is so so bad because having those voices means they haven't reached puberty yet. So it would have to be G, all innocent and sweet, the boys swinging their legs as they sit on the pews, waiting for their cue. Giggling at Father Peter's stammer and holding hands, squeezing tight, at every funeral that reminds them of their mother's. "You crying, Sammy?" "No." "Me neither." But Dean tightens his grip just the same.

And Dean sings solo at every mass because they ask him to. Voice of an angel, they say, and he wants to tell them there are no angels. Demons, yes, plenty of those but no angels. His mom was wrong about that. But he doesn't say anything. Dad says they have to blend in, have to act normal. Talking about angels and demons is far away from normal. And so he sings, for Mom and Sammy and sometimes Dad. And when the last note dies there's not a dry eye to be seen in the whole congregation.

Or, you know, it could be about them hiding behind the chapel, smoking stolen cigarettes and discovering their dicks. Ehem.

Seriously though, boy choir singing is so beautiful, especially the soprano solos. If faith had a voice it would sound like a boy soprano.

As much as I am NOT religious I can't deny that we have religion to thank for some pretty awesome music. And art. And architecture. But you know, also persecutions, wars and apparently, according to Kripke, the world ending so...
