This is my life

Okay, I'm at work, and technically in the middle of a work sprint (in which I have so far gotten Starbucks and lunch and looked at fandom_stocking) but THESE THINGS NEED TO BE SAID.

1. TEAM VELOCIRAPTOR GOT INTO THE GISHWHES BOOK - TWICE! :D :D :D I will post pics eventually, but I am SO EXCITE! Especially cause there's a picture of my mom in one of the entries. :)

2. fandom_stocking is live! Submit your stocking here. Fandom stocking is one of my great, fannish, winter loves. It's brilliant. I'll be writing my stocking tonight and then starting to look for stockings I can fill.

3. SPN midseason finale tonight. I have a bad feeling my Sam feels will be engaged to the nth degree.

4. Work is... interesting. More on that later, maybe.

5. ??? What's up with you, dwircle?

Lots of big news around here.

+ I am done in Philly! THANK THE LORD.
- Chicago is a complete and utter lie. I am not doing what they said I'd be doing, and in fact, it is not fun work at all and this is going to be a long and shitty six weeks. WHOOPEE.
- Jeeves is doing that circling thing again.
-- When we took Jeeves to the vet, they found out he was diabetic (new since the last time this happened) and won't give us steroids to fix his circling. We got insulin and a neuro consult. WHOOPEE.
-------------- ( WTAF, scary non-ghost story under here. )

That's all the news that's fit to print, hope my non-ghost story was fun for a laugh, and hiiiiiiii. Life sucks right now, sorry. :(

ETA: Actually - no it's not. There's less than a week to sign up for gishwhes. We're team velociraptor, and we are most definitely not being competitive about this thing, we're in it for the kicks and to get our feet wet. Next year, we'll be playing to win (ha, maybe) but this year, we're just in it to have a good time. So come join us? It's $18.87 to register, but it's supposed to be amazing and lifechanging, and whatever whatever. So.... join? We have six slots left. :D

Thank you for all your comments about spoiler etiquette. I admit, I don't expect anything over on tumblr - I'm going to swear off it for months at a time next season, I think. But yeah, I was talking about Dreamwidth. A lot of uncut reaction posts as I was scrolling back my flist. All good now, I've seen it, so no more spoilers for me.

gifwhes 8 is up! And times like this, I wish I asked my sister, because she loves making dioramas etc.

Item 8. IMAGE or GIF. An artistic representation of the famed Elopus incident, in diorama form.

READ THE RULES AND DON’T CROSS THE STREET WITHOUT LOOKING BOTH WAYS. ok?? submit by tagging #gifwhes and #gishwhes and #item 8.

the deadline is going to be thursday 5/7 at 5pm PT!!!

And! ante_up_losers is doing a big bang again! We're looking a little light on teams, so if this is something you might be interested in, maybe poke your head around the party post? We could use help with a banner for the 2015 big bang, too, and maybe a kick in the advertising over on tumblr?

So... I am registering for gishwhes (greatest international scavenger hunt the world has ever seen), brainchild of Misha Collins.

Next year, I plan to take a week of vacation and do it with my sisters and other folks TBN. This year, I just want to get my feet wet and not have any pressure to be all MUST WIN OMG (I expect next year to be like that). So, anyone want to join me? curiouscorvid? clavally? I figure we just do what we can do, enjoy ourselves and have fun, and thank our lucky stars for Misha. Anyone else interested? I figure we can come up with a team later.

It does cost - there are multiple levels of registration fees (I love how they are completely random):

$18.89 - Basic GISHWHES Registration
$47.77 - Secret Holiday Card
$98.21 - GISHWHES Flag-Cape "Flape"
$249.69 - “MISHA NOTIFIER” and “GISHWHES Survival Kit”

If you do sign up, and are willing, please use my email as a referral (it's my work email because it's associated with real life money etc, so I'll need to give it to you - lemme know and I'll PM you with it).

And then lemme know who you are, so we can get together!

And of course I left this until the last minute, but: if you sign up before April 1, you get 108 gishpoints. Not being an alum, I have no idea if that means anything or not, but what the hell. I figured it's probably best to leap before I look in the case of anything to do with Misha Collins.

ETA: Ah shit, have to have a team name RIGHT NOW, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh shit. HELP.

ETA2: Thanks to my wife, we are now team VELOCIRAPTOR. COME JOIN US, WE HAVE cookies TALONS!
