EIGHT DAYS OF HAPPY! | prev. days: 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07

Happiness: Day Eight
This is for yesterday and today... Today things are looking up a bit. I got to laze in bed and pet my large black dog, then I went to school and managed to get another project mostly done, and I also got some good news from a fellowship I hadn't gotten the first time around; they emailed me today and said that I got it after all, because one of the recipients dropped out. Now I have to figure out if I should take it or not... It requires teaching service, but it's more money... Oh, money. You make things so complicated.

Also, I learned yesterday that I am [livejournal.com profile] amberlynne's fic-writing and shoe-buying sugar mama, and [livejournal.com profile] unamaga and I have decided that we completely agree with Misha: after all is said and done, Sam, Dean, and Castiel go live in a ramshackle blue country house and drive each other crazy. Also, [livejournal.com profile] dogeared and I established that while these look awesome, selmelier!Rodney would not approve of salt being defaced in such a way. His life is so hard, people.

Oh, and I gave into [livejournal.com profile] beeej's wily wiles and totally ordered some samples from BPAL. They're all from the Wanderlust collection: Crossroads (of course), Tintagel, Hanging Gardens, Gomorrah (of course), Port Royal, and Morocco. Good smells, I will has them.

Dreamwidth lemmingness: I'm aesc over at Dreamwidth. How stunning, how original. Right now the journal is just a placeholder, although I may import stuff from here over to there for purposes of backup. Still planning on sticking around LJ, though, because I'm not that keen on change.

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] kashmir1 tagged me for a character question meme thingy. She gave me Castiel, and I give you my answers!


01 Do you like this character?
Do I like him? DO I LIKE HIM? Check this out and then tell me what you think.

02 What name/s do you call this character?
Cas! I also know what his vessel is called, but I can't say, because that would be spoilery. In my head, though, his vessel's name is Jude.

03 What image/color do you associate with the character?
Blue and trench-coat tan

04 What image/song do you associate with this character?
"Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car" by Iron and Wine, of course :D

05 What blood-type do you think this character is?
Um, well, Castiel is an angel, so he doesn't have blood? But I totally bet his vessel is O- and donates frequently. He also has an organ donor card, because he's that upstanding, decent, and self-sacrificing. (And he'd totally give you a kidney if you needed it.)

05a What's the most awesome thing this character has ever done?
*Stolen from Kash* Oh man, where to start? Dragging Dean out of hell, for one. That was pretty cool. Stealth smiting? Also cool. Standing there reading his book and being all cool and calm while Dean loses his shit? Also awesome. And let us not forget being all sneaky and duplicitous and totally interfering when he shouldn't.

In my head (so not in canon), he kicks ass at the magic and the invention of letters. And for me, that is super-awesome because of how I am a nerd and like nerd-type kick-assedness.

06 Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
OH.EM.GEE. I WONDER WHO I'D PUT HIM WITH, SHE ASKED HERSELF.

07 What would you want to say to this character?
DEAN IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. SERIOUSLY, HE IS.

08 What do you want to do with this character:
Um, well, I don't think that's fit for the ears of delicate flowers. But Dean wouldn't like that, so I'd have to say... um, go on a road trip?

09 Please choose 5 friends with your choice of character:
Anyone can do this for whomever they'd like, but I'd love to see...

*bounces* I ordered a bunch more scents from BPAL today, too (including Tintagel). :D According to the peeps at the BPAL forum, both Tintagel and Crossroads smell fantastic, yay! :D :D :D

Now I'm looking for a pretty aromatherapy locket. :D

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, when I was looking for scents I might like, I was sure to read the forum posts to see what people thought. Not that I will be able to tell gardenia from iris from peat moss from woodsmoke, but still :D

What is this Dream-something crazyness?!?!!
Is lj going to explode?Everyone's creating an account over there...I'm scared!Will I be the only lj survivor?!?!!?O_O

Dreamwidth (http://www.dreamwidth.org) is a new fan-friendly journaling service. It got started back during the Strikethrough/6Apart fiasco, when people were feeling seriously paranoid that anything the company owners didn't like would be deleted.

That said, LJ is not going to explode :D :D Most people I know (including me!) are staying right here, but are backing stuff up over at DW, or just claiming screen names in case something does happen. For myself, I signed up just to get first dibs on 'aesc' and to have an online backup of my stories and stuff, because DW allows you to basically import your entire journal with minimum effort, and I am super lazy when it comes to archiving my fics :D

So yes, staying right here, along with everyone else! *hugs you*

Well,backing stuff is not a bad idea!Maybe I will create an account when they will let me!

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I always feel this is a good policy, but *sigh* I am incredibly lazy :D

Congrats on the fellowship! No matter whether you choose to accept it or not, you must have impressed someone with your academic achievements so far.

I've added you over on Dreamwidth, by the way. (My user name's exactly the same -- oh, how original.)

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, added back!

[identity profile] randomalia.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Standing there reading his book and being all cool and calm while Dean loses his shit?

I could watch that all day. Hee!

Also, I added you, hope that's ok. Just keen to bask in the Castiel love all over my flist.

That is one of my most favorite scenes ever! Welcome to the crazy :D

[identity profile] pollitt.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Congratulations on the fellowship!! YAY YOU!

*holds you tight* I am glad you're not leaving LJ. When DW opens, I will probably grab a spot, but, like you, I plan on staying here. :)

And I have Good Omens scents from BPAL! They are loverly. Loverly indeed!
