Birthday Icon!

As per my earlier poll on this subject, I'm going to try to make an icon for everyone for their birthday.

You'll note that I've put your usernames on them. This is to ensure that these icons are strictly for your use only and unique icons just for you. I tried to make them as light as possible as to not detract from the pretty. ;)

Happy Birthday wishes on this July 24th to erinrua! *hugs* :D I know you're not on LJ much these days, but I want to wish you all the best today and always!



Btw, if anyone wants to leave comments telling me what they'd like their icon to be (Sam, Dean, Jensen, Jared, Misha, Castiel, Impala, etc) it would be most helpful! :D

High School is so 20 years ago

So my 20 year high school was Saturday evening. Yep...missed it. I don't regret it though.

Edit: Ooopsie. That originally read 10 years. Shows how disinterested I am with my time in high school that I got that wrong. lol

Truth is, when they first announced the reunion over a year ago I was excited to go. I thought it would be fun to see old classmates again. Then, well...we had the events of the end of last year & then the beginning of this year and I guess that sorta took the wind out of my sails. Death in the family, 2 people diagnosed with cancer, and dealing with their subsequent treatment will do that.

A few weeks ago I visited the website set up for the reunion and looked over the list of people who'd confirmed they were attending. I think I only recognized a handful of names. I really wasn't all that active in my high school's events, preferring to hang out with my very small circle of friends, some of whom were in the years before and after me. That was when I basically made my decision not to go. Why go (and pay for it as well) when I'd more than likely end up sitting alone, with nobody to talk to? That happened when I was IN high school, during our senior dinner party. I didn't go to my prom (no date), but I did attend the senior dinner party and what a disaster that was. I sat at a table of classmates that barely said one word to me and with my shyness at that age, well I was pretty much invisible to everyone there. I wasn't a social butterfly by any stretch of the imagination. I still remember sitting there, feeling like the loneliest wallflower in the world. There was no way I was going to pay and go through a similar experience.

So many of my classmates have married, have kids, jobs...the typical lifestyle. I have not. I only wish I had, but life didn't deal the cards my way. I really haven't spent a lot of time thinking about my high school days. I've connected with a couple of friends on Facebook, but I really think most people wouldn't even remember me. Hope those who attended had a good time, but I've left high school far behind me.

Right now, my goal is VanCon. Now there's an event I'm excited about. I've paid big bucks, but I know I'm going to have a great time and meetup with friends and enjoy their company. Every day I'm planning and prepping for that weekend.

Go to a reunion where I don't have anything in common with anyone anymore and most likely would've been all awkward and alone OR a week long trip up to Vancouver for lots of fun and hanging out with hundreds of people who I can talk to about our common obsession? Pretty easy choice.

SPN Locations List Project: And so it begins

It's that time of year again and I've officially started working on the SPN Locations List.

This means:

:: Flist, you'll have to be patient with me. I won't have much time to leave you comments or read your longer posts. Sorry! I'll make it up to you later.
:: I'll be making posts such as this one to update everyone on my progress.
:: I'm on countdown status for VanCon. This list must be updated, completed, and posted before the Con.
:: Spare time? What's that?

This year I'm trying to log the hours & days I work on the list. The two most popular questions I get is: "How did you find all these?" & "How long did it take you?" This will help answer the 2nd question.

So far I've logged approx. 3 hours of work over the past 2 days. I'm currently going through Season 1 and updating the Google Map with some locations I couldn't find before.

Ah, Ha! Moment: Found the "Definitely our kind of problem" scene location from "Skin". :D

Daily Fanart: Dean from "The Benders"

Another of my Just 'Cause Caps Redone. Aw. Dean's so relieved to have found Sam. :)

Usual rules apply: :: No hotlinking :: Please credit me if you take/use/re-post :: Comments would be oh, so nice! :D

This Impala Sunday finds Sam behind the wheel and we get a nice bonus of double profiles from the guys. :)
At first I thought I didn't get all that much done on Saturday, but it turns out I did. Problem is...I just now realized I forgot to cap 5x01. Gah!!!! Totally slipped my mind. *facepalms* I'll see if I can get it all done today, but the BluRay caps might be a day late again this week. *yawns* Been a long day. Have a nice Sunday folks. My bed is calling. *hugs*

SPN Filming Locations: 2010 Photos - Part 2

For VanCon 2010 we stayed an extra day, which meant and extra day to hunt down locations. :D
This time I had the opportunity to go around with some fellow fans and despite the sometimes rainy weather, much fun was had.

I'll be breaking this up into 3 posts to cover the 2 1/2 days. Enjoy! :D
