Media: Scene hunt

Description: I was looking ofr a scene where Sam saves Dean...preferably by knocking him out of the way or body-blocking, but I honestly can't think of a time this has happened. Even just a scene where Sam saves Dean's butt would be a start. Any thoughts welcome. I'm weirdly drawing a blank.

Other notes (if required): episode name/number and timestamp (if known) would be wonderful.

Been with Starbucks a year and three months now, and these are my only real complaints..besides that I am in desperate need of a vacation and I so cannot wait until holidays are over so I can actually take said vacation...

1. Dude who ordered the "large" coffee a few weeks ago, and corrected my buddy Sean when he repeated it back venti. "I'm from the midwest, I don't say anything but large." Really? Really? Last time I checked I was from the midwest too. I mean, I was born in Colorado, but, you know, I've lived here the past 21 years of my life. I wasn't aware that people in other areas of the country used different words.

2. When I am on cafe bar, and I call out your drink/hand it off, don't sit there like an idiot after I've called it THREE times, and shouted TWO times, and ask "Is this the venti mocha." Yes. Yes. It. Is. Or "Is this the decaf latte iced." Well, it's the only drink sitting there, and it's iced, so yeahhh, it is.

The game went like this: So I'm handing you your metaphorical cracker (for Christmas or any other holdiay/winter festivity); this time of year can be a stressful for everyone, so wouldn't it be nice if you could have a little piece of mind? (Yes. I've answered for you - because I'm ~psychic~ you see.) Well! Just tell me two things you found in your cracker this year (ex. a small turtle and a bag of sticky caramels) and I shall tell you what the future holds!

1. a colorful plastic ring
2. candy pixie stick straws
I want a incredible fortune!

I see something in your future...

As you're walking down the street one day, you see a man drop his briefcase. A few sheets of paper fall out and, feeling helpful, you snatch them and return them to him. He's so grateful he offers you a large reward: your own summer home in France! Eagerly you accept and you and your family fly out there in the summertime. A few renovations need to be made, but nothing you can't handle. However, as the work is being done, a strange wooden chest is found. You open it and find it full of jewels and rare, first-edition manuscripts! You want to know if you can keep it, so you start looking into how it got there. Through your research you discover that it belongs to a long-lost relative of yours... who was royalty! The line was unbroken, so you also inherit the title!

----------

Luna had woken up very early that morning to pick out a tree down the road from their winter cottage. She’d walked around many different kinds of Christmas trees, both enchanted and not, and though it took her almost an hour, when she saw the perfect one for them, she ran to in with worry in her chest that someone might snatch it right up from under her.

When Harry woke up that morning, wearing the silk pajamas that changed from red to green every few minutes, he was both surprised about what he saw in their living room, and he was nodding his head along with his much sense it had made.

Luna purchased a very skinny tree, with half of its needles missing. It was around her height, and looked sick and depressing in their living room. But all around Luna, as she scurried from corner to corner, were boxes of decorations, both Muggle and magical. She was so excited, she almost didn’t notice Harry walking up behind her.

“What a beautiful tree,” he told her as he wrapped his arms around her waist to stop her for just a moment.

“I knew you’d like it,” she told him, extremely happy that he understood why she’d chosen that one. Harry always understood her, even when he didn’t know that he did.

He let go of Luna and walked around searching for the right ornaments to choose for this tree. They had different colors, different themes. Luna had been shopping since November 1st and had developed quite a collection that he hoped she wouldn’t put out all at once.

“Your beet earrings are in this box,” he told her, leaning over one of the boxed that rested on his favorite chair by the fireplace.

“I took them off a few minutes ago. They were getting tangled in my hair,” she explained, trying to decide what to put at the top of the tree: a porcelain angel, a paper star, a house elf ornament, or a large ball of popcorn she’d melted together with yellow icing.

Harry placed the beet earrings on opposite sides of the tree and turned around to see Luna’s reaction.

As always, what they shared was a deep, sincere smile.

Hey, is anyone else having MAJOR delays getting email notifications from LJ? Seriously, some of them are days old :(

And I realise that I haven't made icons since my last Emma batch, I'm making some tomorrow. I'm a bit weary, but hey, I have to get through those requests somehow :)

...and I'm thoroughly depressed, and you know what they say about 'misery shared'. We had to put Jazza, our dog of almost 18 years, down on Tuesday as her back legs completely gave out and she was unable to move, I just picked up her ashes this morning. Geez, I'm getting all teary just typing this now, I still expect her to be waiting for me when I get through the gates. *sniff*




And Mario Kart is kicking my arse. How is it possible to be that bad at it? And I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I've been marathoning Tru Calling these last few days, and I only have two words - Matt Bomer *g*. I need to make White Collar icons like asap!

I'm looking for ways to get the ice out of my horses' feet. Two of my horses came back from their leases with shoes and ice balls already built up in them. My gelding had so much ice built up in his hoof he couldn't even stand on it. I managed to break enough off so he could at least stand flat on it, but there is still a ton in there. My mare has buildup in almost all of her hooves, but not nearly as bad as my gelding & she stand flat.

It's been around -20 degrees all week, so I don't want to soak their feet in hot water because it'll just freeze over again before it could dry, and I'm worried that would make the buildup worse (plus it would also freeze their leg). I'm getting their shoes pulled asap. My landlord lent me his "professional ice removal tool" which turned out to be a hammer, but I am not strong enough to knock any of the ice out and I'm afraid if I put more force into it, I'm going to whack them in the leg with the hammer.

After I get the ice out, it was suggested that I spray their feet with cooking spray to keep the ice out. Would that work?

Any other suggestions?

From which if Emerson's writings is this? I confess to not knowing Emerson well.

I'm looking for a young adult book that I think was a 2 part series. The one I read was red and had a person on the cover with a visor covering the eyes. The story as I remember was a world were people tried to play this game and win a prize. The prize was they got to live at this "perfect world". I think there was a group of friends who snuck into the place and hit in an abandoned house where they would gather mattresses at night so they wouldn't get caught.

I think the book was called "The Prize" and the other was "The Game" but had no luck googling it as alot of books, especially sports books, seems to have those titles.

Thanks <3

This was mentioned on another site recently and I'd like to read it. The person who mentioned it there gave me permission to post the description here. Anybody know what it is? Thanks!

I also remember a book, part of a quartet, called Low Fat, which was about the ways in which Briony (the lead character)’s feeling that she was too fat was holding her back from realising that she might have a chance with her crush (who does turn out to reciprocate her feelings, and is astounded that she could think he might not want her because of her weight) and preventing her from feeling confident enough to perform the songs she writes onstage. She’s shown as being really vivacious, clever and with a brilliantly offbeat fashion sense. She embarks on a weight loss programme in hopes of attracting the lad’s attention, but doesn’t lose any weight despite her intense focus on this. Later, when she’s becoming happier and more focused on achieving her songwriting goals, having to dash around to everywhere she needs to go on her bike, she ends up losing two or three kilos (there’s no suggestion she’ll be losing more), enough to fit into the boring beige skirt she’s bought as ‘thinspiration’, but by this point she finds that she’d rather wear her crazy lime and orange windcheater and use her clothing to express her personality. The book deals wonderfully with the delicate balance between advocating size acceptance and claiming that ‘real women have curves’ – her best friend, who’s very slim and is helping Briony with her efforts to win over her crush (also the best friend’s brother), takes exception to the brand name “bigger and better”. It also features the typical bitchy skinny blonde villain, who tries to undercut and undermine Briony at every turn, but who, by the end of the book, has stopped dyeing her hair and rigorously monitoring her appearance, inspired by Briony’s outwardly confident attitude, which she had in the past found confusing and threatening. The ending of the book has her singing a song about fat acceptance at a festival, having already sung a piece she wrote about social justice and racism (she notes that she finds it much easier to be an advocate for other people than for herself.)
A++ for that book; wish I could remember the author’s name.

Was walking to the chemistry building to under go more tutoring and as I was walking I saw two older gentlemen both wearing black suits and dark sunglasses. They were on either side of a courtyard going different ways and I automatically thought... "Reapers"!!.

This is probably one of the vaguest descriptions ever, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.

-Children's book, I'm pretty sure it was a series

-I think it must have been about 1996 when I read it, I was 9, but I got the impression it was quite old fashioned so I imagine it was written quite a while ago

-Involved a child (and then later in the book or possibly the series more children were occasionally part of the story) who I think was an orphan of some kind in a big magical sort of house. The kid wandered around discovering stuff in the house and the grounds. The child did have guardians who I think may have been magical in some way

-Quite a lot of it seemed to involve exploring the garden-- one part I particularly remember was someone having made a kind of igloo-shaped den thing woven out of branches and leaves and things

-I think at some point people magically shrunk in order to fit inside something, possibly the branch den

-part of the plot had a key involved I think

Hullo. Back in the early aughts, when I was but a young high school student there was a lovely short book I read in the school library.

It was from New Zealand, and had made its way to Canada. I wouldn't remember that, if it weren't for the way the speaking lines were punctuated. Quote marks are punctuation, right? I'm writing this at three am.

Anyway. The main character was a young girl who would not speak. It wasn't could not. I think she might have had an odd name too. Her family played a role in it, but the main focus was an old lady who lived in a big house she met. I can't remember if she helped her with anything or not, but she'd go to see her.

The part I most remember is the old woman talking about how New Zealand had been filled with all sorts of birds before cats came.

Can anyone recall what this book was?

FOUND: The Other Side of Silence by Margaret Mahy

Okay so I have 2 books I need help remembering the names of.

1. I read this book around 1997 or so. It is an elementary level chapter book about a school that gets a machine to make pizzas and it makes too many. They then give everyone the pizzas to practice coming up with the perfect topping combinations and they have a big contest in the end. That is all I remember, but it was one of my favorites as a kid and I wish I could remember the title.

2. I don't remember much about this book either, just that it was good and some vague memories. I think the reading level was for around 10-12 year olds. It is set in the WWII era. I believe it is summer and an American girl goes to stay at the seashore with either her mom or grandma or other female relatives. Her father is stationed overseas. He can't tell her where he is stationed, but he hides clues in his letters telling her to read certain books that have characters from the country he is in in it.
Edit: Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff. Thank you!

If anyone can help me figure this out I would appreciate it! Thanks a bunch!

As a child (in the 1970s/1980s) I had an old hardback romance novel that might have been my mother's (or my grandmother's) about a Gypsy girl who was (I think) hit by the carriage of a wealthy man, and taken back to his house to be nursed to health. There was a typical misunderstanding/fight/reconciliation plot, I think. What I remember most was that there was a color frontispiece of the girl and maybe a carriage or a caravan. I know this is very little to go on: does this ring any bells?

Yo, I can't remember the name of a book and it's driving me CRAZY!

I read it when I was in sixth grade (I got it from the school library) so it must have been written in the eighties. It was a science fiction novel about these four kids who were the smartest kids at their futuristic school. And then the school let them take a spaceship they could control with their minds and go somewhere with a teacher. All the kids at this school ate these snack bars, and since there wasn't much room on the ship, they didn't take very many with them.

Well the teacher got them lost on purpose (I forgot why) and when they got back to the school they learned that the snack bars had hormones in them to keep the kids from going through puberty. And the four friends had started puberty and were even more outcasts than before because of it.

Also it *might* have been written in first person from the POV of a girl. Not sure about that though.

Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? I read it at the same time I read Calling B for Butterfly and they looked to be about the same age cover-wise so I think they were written about the same time.

Thanks to mesmorizee and fishpatrol for the snowflake cookies! ♥ Those were fun notifications to get. :D Ya'll are getting me in the ~holiday spirit. I think I'm going to go out and buy candy canes.
