I've Got My Hands Up So Take Your Aim

a song you that needs to be played LOUD
"Stacked Actors" by Foo Fighters

Honestly, I had plenty of other Foo Fighters songs to list, but then looked at the full meme and knew they would fit elsewhere. This is like a deep cut, back to their third album, little known. But I just love it sounds ... especially the opening and the heavy drums.

In an effort to post more often, I'm going to do this song meme I made from a list I found online ... feel free to snag and do it yourself!



A song you like with a color in the title
"Yellow" by Coldplay

I have LOVED this song since the moment it come out. I used to listen to Parachuttes every day/night that first year it came out. Still love so much about early Coldplay.

I had promised new Domestic Dreams fic for smpc this last Sunday, but time got away from me and I had to postpone. I'm now posting on July 2! I did reread the other two fics to get back into and saw a weird formatting issues in the second story and half of a scene was missing! LOL Then I was wondering how in the heck anyone read that part without really realizing it? IDK.

Random things I'm into now ...
>> I've been obsessed with Shark Tank lately, watching reruns everyday, even when I've seen them already. On one hand, I enjoy seeing the new creations ... then on the other, I am relishing in all the negotiating and fighting LOL
>> I also started watching The Handmaiden's Tale on Hulu. I originally said I couldn't do it because it would be too real. But I finally gave it a shot and watched like 3-4 eps in a row. It's still all too real but also really amazing. Makes me remember so many glorious fics I've read of a similar theme. J2 goes good for everything, right???
>> Went to Hamilton for Broadway in Chicago a few weeks ago with the parents and LOVED IT. Then saw it again this last weekend with tebtosca and fiercelynormal visiting and still love it. I keep watching random youtube clips of it and lament that I didn't care to get into it earlier.

And in case you missed it ... Two weeks ago, I posted my spn_j2_bigbang ...



Wandering Lost
Hired by an eccentric billionaire, Jensen is tasked with transporting a '55 Ford F-100 from California to New York. After the car breaks down, he's stuck in the middle of Nebraska and spends a week getting to know a whole mix of oddballs he'd never spend a minute with back in NYC. "Not all who wander are lost," but Jensen's a little of both as he warms up to the townspeople and the local handyman, who is equal parts peculiar and charming. And maybe he even finds himself along the way.

Notes: First off, to wendy for continuing to run this monster challenge all on her own. I can't imagine the patience and fortitude it takes to wrangle everyone together, or the care to continue loving and encouraging all the fabulous people in this fandom and keep up a beautiful tradition.

To my artist thruterryseyes: Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! So many pieces make me feel so much joy, for the moments you selected, the lines of dialogue you added, or the particular pictures to illustrate my story. Thank you so much for picking me! And for putting up with all of my lateness throughout the last month. You're very kind and patient :)

To one of my favorite people in the entire universe, kelleigh. There aren't enough thank yous in the world for the time you committed to helping me whip this into shape. And also thank you SO MUCH for your constructive criticism that made this story so much stronger than what I had originally pulled together. I value the input and support more than you will ever know. 110% stellar beta from top to bottom, and I continue to love you every day for being my friend and support <3333

Quick run by thanks to zubeneschamali, rozearkana, cherie_morte, deirdre_c, and quickreaver for cheering me on, brainstorming together, and being such lovely people as I raced in fits and starts to write this story. I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR.
