Thank you so much for last night guys. Recently, I've been getting the prods I need to get myself sorted out, so I'm going to try to get on that really soon.

Today I have been awesome because I have done the ironing. I HATE ironing.

---

And because I always do what my flist tells me to, allow me to promote:

International Fannish Feel Yourself Up Day

Gals, if you're not checking for lumps on a regular basis, get right on that. Quickly, please. Too many folks I know are being hit by cancer right now. This one's for fan_eunice, who's just starting to fight this sucker. And Guys, keep an eye (or, you know, hand) on the relevant parts of your anatomy too, okay? (that means armpits too - lymphoma's actually more common in men) You find anything, you go right to the doctor's, you hear me? I don't care if you think it's nothing. I don't care if you think you're being stupid. That's a helluva lot better than the alternatives. Go.

---

Other things roll on apace, including my growing love for Supernatural. You guys who promised me recs, I think I'm ready for them now (I'm up to 2.08 "Crossroad Blues" so no major spoily fics, tx). I'd particularly like podfic recs if you have them, since I'm about to spend a while on trains and away from home, and could use good fic to listen to. I know the stuff on my Zen practically off by heart by now.

ETA: Okay, please could more people with microphones start recording in the Gen category? Please? Because it's getting embarrassing to click on the Torchwood:Gen category and have to scroll past all the fics I recorded. I mean, I recorded them because I love them, but it's weird listening to your own voice...

So that's two ways you can be awesome for me today. How else have you been awesome?

I make my daughter do most of the ironing, so \o/ that you got that done. I hate ironing.

Erm, I am awesome because.... OH! I made some icons and a vid. So I was creative yesterday, and today I cleaned out a closet.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I tend to save up the ironing, put a good DVD on and just plough through it. It's still rotten, but at least I'm using the time productively ;)

You make great icons :D Definitely awesome!

[dyddgu.livejournal.com]

Ps - male fandommers ought also check their, um, clockweights. Equal opps and all ;-)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I had meant them by 'guys', but I'll clarify :) Thanks for the nudge. :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Supernatural gen fics ahead!

I'm a sucker for wee!chester/ kid fics so two of those:
Under a haystack verse (http://janissa11.livejournal.com/tag/under+a+haystack) (they're tagged, scroll to the bottom for the first) Dean is de-aged
Like the Tides (http://rivers-bend.livejournal.com/367054.html) of My Life and remix Can't let it go and can't get through (http://rivers-bend.livejournal.com/367467.html). (both very short- Dean leaves marks where ever he goes)
Rumspringa (http://july-july-july.livejournal.com/34916.html)- Dean, at 16, heads off on his own
Summer camp (http://gigglingkat.livejournal.com/152650.html) (things go badly when John sends Dean to summer camp)
Real Men Don't Make Cheesecake (http://apocalypsos.livejournal.com/1086261.html)- Teen!Dean takes Home Economics (you will LOVE THIS)

Arctic Radar (http://musesfool.livejournal.com/1492997.html)- Dean knits

umm, need others?

Oh as as for spn podfic, this post should point you to some:

My dear, you are a marvel. That should keep me going for plenty of time thanks :)

Awesome!

At some point, I have to get you into watching Bones. I love, love, love the characters.

In other news . . . I don't remember being awesome today, but I had a poke at the Big Bang and sorted socks.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Seconding the Bones love. It's not perfect, but the characters really are enjoyable - I'd say it's my comfortable fun show. :)

I have a plastic info hanger in my shower to remind myself to feel myself up regularly. It has diagrams and everything, so it's a bit embarrassing when male relatives spend the night, but then I figure maybe that will remind them to remind their loved ones and hopefully check themselves out too.

My awesome has been on hold lately, but today I am going to a movie with my step-nephew, and apparently one of the huge thrills for him (aside from the actual movie) is that he gets to go with me, so that's probably some sort of passive awesomeosity, anyway.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee! What a cool thing to have in the shower - very good plan.

Fantastic - have a great time :D

HI! I have been awesome because I finally posted pictures of the lovely sewing cabinet my father made for me! (You should come to my LJ and look!) *g*

And, we've started the laundry and I've done some grading. So, go me! And go you! With the ironing! EEEE!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I saw them! I just haven't had time to trot round and comment yet, but it looks absolutely incredible. My grandfather built my grandmother something similar but tiny to go in their little London house :) So it brought back all kinds of lovely memories.

*giggle* We are all awesome indeed \o/

Oh, btw- just to prove your awesomeness:

Oh wow, thanks hon! That's startling but awesome :D

Today I have been awesome because I have done the ironing.

I bow before your awesomeness! (I join you in the hatred of ironing.)

I'm with you on the sadness of Sam/Dean being the dominate force of SPN fic (sibling incest squicks me.) :( So I'm going to follow this post and mooch recs off of it :)

I have found a few gen fics:

Dean gets turned into a unicorn (http://rionaleonhart.livejournal.com/145255.html?format=light) (Because I haven't watched the show I have no idea what happens when, so the story notes include this warning: Spoilers for 'All Hell Breaks Loose Part Two'.)

part 1 (http://kellifer-fic.livejournal.com/87994.html?format=light) and part 2 (http://kellifer-fic.livejournal.com/142298.html?format=light): Dean gets turned into a doll (and guess what, Dean can't curse in doll form!). No spoilers.

What to Expect When Your Impala's Expecting (http://epeeblade.livejournal.com/459415.html?format=light). Carpreg! According to the writer it takes place about mid-season 2.

Snuffleupagus (http://kellifer-fic.livejournal.com/188090.html?format=light) Author summary: Sometimes imaginary friends... aren't. No spoilers. I really like this one.

Follow Through (http://cupiscent.livejournal.com/380236.html?format=light) No Spoilers. Slightly angsty. A good look at the characters of teenaged Sam and Dean.

A Yarn (http://the-oscar-cat.livejournal.com/488735.html?format=light) I think I might start collecting fics that involve knitting (between this and my decision to collect fics involving fuzzy bunnies I'm beginning to think I do odd thematic lists...) No spoilers.

[fish-echo.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, forgot why I was awesome when I tracked down the recs... Today's awesome is making boring food using ingredients that are close to going off. (Boooooring. Gah. But once I use up these I can make more fun food.)

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

Doing the ironing is definitely awesome :) I actually quite like ironing, although that might be because I adopted my mum's method which is to do it front of an old b&w film you can get enthralled in.

I've not been very awesome today, but I got out of bed and went to work even though I didn't want to, does that count?

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

I've been awesome by spending time in a cold park with my son! I am not an outdoorsy person.

[morgynleri]

I have been awesome today because I emptied my car and went to get another load of stuff from the house I'm slowly moving out of. *grins happily* And I did it without taking my laptop with me to distract me!

Also - there was kitty while I was at the other house, and I made sure she got some more food in the food bowl.
