Just 'Cause

This cap is from 5x10 "Abandon All Hope...".

Today's cap was requested by metallidean_grl, who wanted "The pic of Dean and Sam right after Ellen detonates the bomb. The boys are so pretty there." Hope this cap fits the bill. There is no shot of the two of them in focus in the frame together, so I went with this one since Sam is there in the background.
I'm super tired from Tuesday's events (and sore from Monday), so I'm off to bed. Can't brain enough to type out anything worthwhile at the moment. Have a good Wednesday all.

Quickies 17 - Flist Edition

Busy Week: It all started on Sunday with mom & I doing more house cleaning. On Monday I helped my aunt weed part of her backyard flowerbed. We only worked a couple of hours, but got a lot done and my leg muscles are really feeling the effects now. Ow! They're very sore and tender. So much for walking around the neighborhood for a few days. I can barely walk around in the house! Then yesterday, I went w/my aunt to visit my cousin K & her husband in Seattle and attend a choral concert at a high school where K has been interning as a music teacher. Those kids were incredible! They even danced to choreographed routines! I wish I'd been in choirs like that when I was in school. So much fun! Today is a day to rest, but tomorrow mom & I are going out to do some clothes shopping for the VanCon trip. Then there's the weekend and my birthday on Sunday. Phew!

Anyway, sorry I haven't been around much lately. Now you know why.

VanCon: Speaking of VanCon...I'm shocked at how fast it's approaching! I feel nowhere near ready and it's only a little over 2 months away! I still need to figure out what I'm going to have the guests sign and update my big Locations List. Gah!!!! *runs around in circles*

Birthday woes: As much as I'm looking forward to my birthday, I'm also taking a good look at my life and seeing myself as one big failure. I'll be turning 37 and what have I got to show for it? I have no boyfriend/husband, I still live at home with my mom, and I have no job. I know most of my family sees me as a lazy loser and I can't say they're wrong. However, I also believe I'm turning my life around. After my dad died in 2006, I really lost myself. Simply going through the motions, I lived from day to day, but that's about all it was. It wasn't until last year that I finally realized things had to change. This year has been about instituting those changes by taking care of my health (getting up earlier, eating better, and exercising). I feel I've made a lot of huge improvements, but the lack of a job is still the big weight on my back. I wanted to start looking earlier this year, but it didn't happen. Now with VanCon looming, I'll have to wait until after August. Then I'll have to get my ass in gear and truly start looking especially if I want to go to any other SPN conventions. Anyway, this birthday comes with a lot of mixed feelings. I'm making positive changes, but somehow it doesn't feel like enough considering where I should be at at this time in my life. *sigh*

VanCon 2010 Ticket: I posted about the VanCon Silver Ticket I have for sale last week and so far no takers. Consider this as a final reminder before I post it publicly. I'd really like to sell it to someone from my flist, someone I kind of "know". If none of you want it, I'll start posting it to comms next week. I really need to get my money back from this ticket.

LJ Comments: I've been trying to fit in answering comments as much as I can this week. I know I'm still some 2-3 months behind, but again, I hope to get caught up on those by VanCon (see, how life just revolves around that Con? *sigh*). I'm sorry for making you all wait so long. My hands are full of all things Con and LJ related. I'm also still trying my best to drop you all a comment or two on your journals. Keep in mind, I don't always have the time to read every one of your posts, nor do I always have something to say about what you post. And I realize you will do the same on my journal. We all do the best we can, right?


I think that's all for now. *hugs flist*

SPN Fanart Piece

I now have a paid account with Picnik!!! Woot! :D

Now I have access to all of their goodies and I've already been playing around with all the extra toys. Wheee!
With a premium account you also get access to your last 100 uploaded pics, so I grabbed a S4 promo pic of the boys that I had in there and somehow this was the result. :D

It's funny, 'cause I started out making a header out of it and somehow it became this piece featuring praise for the show. Call it my contribution for Supernatural to be put in for Emmy nominations. ;)
