That's okay, show. I didn't really need my heart anyway. Go right ahead, rip it apart.

In conclusion: If I ever meet Eric Kripke, first I am going to shake his hand. Then I am going to slap him.

Well, I thought I'd do a proper convention update! I started typing up my report last night and it's seven pages in Word... I'll have to condense, maybe tomorrow, but definitely sometime this week. But I took pictures of my autographs and I feel the need to share them and the stories that go along with them. Highlights include Misha having a mini-conversation with me while I remind myself to keep breathing, and of course Jared and Jensen being the amazing people that they are.

So far they've only announced Jared as a tentative guest next year, but I'm crossing my fingers that they'll sign Jensen as well, and Misha, because I already can't wait.

Most popular topic of the day: underwear. Specifically, Misha's underwear. Even more specifically, Misha's banana hammock.

Yeah. Good times.

And on that note, I should probably be getting some sleep. Long day tomorrow. I am stoked. CONVENTION, YAY, BUT WE ARE NOT THAT CRAZY SO STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.

In related news: I know that I was complaining about the potential suckage of Chicago Con just yesterday, but that didn't stop me from jumping up and down in my kitchen and squeeing like a fangirl when I got my ticket in the mail today. I may have twirled a bit, who knows? (My dog must think I'm a lunatic.)

*headdesk*

Sooo, I stayed up until 5 a.m. again and got my stupid self out of bed a whole HOUR earlier that I needed to. Without even realizing. My mom was just like, "What time do you need to be up??!! It's 8:30!!" and I automatically decided by the tone of her voice that I was gonna be late so I got up and got dressed and got in my car and... class isn't until 10. AUGHHH.

So here I am, bugging you with another iPod-related poll. This one's about punctuation, yay!

The | means that's where the line break would be:

Poll #1480382 Mssr. Obsessed With Small Dots
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11

Pick one!

If you didn't pick one that I listed, type here what you think is best.

What fun is a poll without ticky boxes?!

So, how're y'all doin' today?

As you can see, I decided on the SPN quote. I think it fits to have a quote from the show on my iPod because I really do think that it has affected my music style. By which I mean, I was more exposed to classic rock when I started watching the show and eventually came to the conclusion that: 'THIS. THIS IS MY MUSIC.' Ergo, the SPN quote, and one that actually references the music in the show. That, and it's from the Pilot, and I love that scene, and it's the first time Dean calls Sam Sammy and and and.

I threw in that last one because - well, here's the whole thing:

SAM: I swear man, you've gotta update your cassette tape collection.
DEAN: Why?
SAM: Well for one, they're cassette tapes. And two, Black Sabbath? Motorhead? Metallica? It's the greatest hits of mullet rock.
Dean: *snatches a tape from Sam and pops it in* Well, house rules, Sammy: driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.
SAM: You know, 'Sammy' is a chubby twelve year old. It's Sam, okay?
Dean: *AC/DC's "Back in Black" starts blasting from the Impala* Sorry, can't hear you. The music's too loud.

So I mean, HOW MUCH LOVE is that scene? The only problem I have with putting "House rules, Sammy" on there is that the name Sammy would be engraved onto an iPod named Enzo... and for some reason that just bothers me.

I also thought about putting: 'Sorry, can't hear you. | Music's too loud', but that just sounds like a generically lame cliche to put on an iPod without the context.

THIS IS SO HARD. Me and decision-making don't get along.

Despite the fact that I have a 3-5 page paper due by midnight that I still don't have a thesis for, on Halloween morning, when I have literally no free time to start said paper -

I knew it was going to be a good day anyway when my radio-alarm started blaring "Carry On, Wayward Son." ♥

I know it was very loud, very early on Saturday morning and it was probably waking up my family, but I just didn't have the heart to shut it off until the song was over.

I had a dream last night that a shirtless Sam Winchester managed to save someone's life in a very heroic fashion, and for some reason Dean said, erm, appreciatively, "Wow, this is exactly what it feels like when I think about angels being with humans."

... I don't ship either Cas/Dean or Wincest, so I have no idea where that came from.

In related news, I woke up at 2:30 this afternoon! Fall break is meant for catching up on homework, not sleeping! Oh well.

WHY do we have to have a hiatus next week. :(

Oh well. Only one month until Chicago... oh man, so excited.

HEY GUYS SRS BSNS TIEM.

So I'm getting a new iPod. Quatre had been dying a slow death for the past couple of years, ever since I used it while cleaning stalls one day when it was -14 degrees outside (with the windchill), like an idiot, and the screen cracked. Thus:



Except it's a giant black spot of dead pixels, not blue. Which is starting to get on my nerves a little, since Q is just a glorified shuffle at this point, except harder to... shuffle. Because I can't see where I'm navigating to. Then yesterday he fell in the street while I was running with my dog and now he makes funny little strained sound whenever I use the wheel.

After much deliberation (okay not that much), I decided I want to get one of those new Gen 5 Nanos.

BUT. I HAVE PROBLEMS. DECISION MAKING PROBLEMS. THEY ARE LIFE-CHANGING. I NEED YOUR INPUT. WHY does it have to come in like eight million different colors, doesn't Apple know that I have a hard time making decisions?!

Umm, even harder? The engraving. I was thinking about, "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole", but I probably won't be listening to it in the car. Plus it's a little rude. (I love you, Deano.)

Any music-related quotes that you guys can come up with from fandom? Or just any cool quotes you can think of?

Poll time!

Poll #1471468 I almost miss the days when my choices were "black" or "white".
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 9

WHICH COLOR SHOUDLD I PICK?!

WHAT SHOULD I HAVE ENGRAVED ON THE BACK?! (50 characters total; 25 per line, 2 lines.)

Then there's the issue of naming it. Should I name it Quatre after the old one? I probably won't, since I'll most likely delegate the old one to becoming my barn iPod, so I can ride with it and not worry too much about squashing it if I fall. The name might come after the color... or the quote... or both.

I know, I'm strange. BUT THIS IS SERIOUS!
