Yeah, it's official. I have just about reached levels of SPN obsession that I had back during S3. This show has been my favorite for a looong time, but man that finale just kicked me right back into the falling-in-love stage all over again.

Into Season 8, no less.

AWESOME.

*flails*

Advance apologies for those who don't want the show or who aren't into it quite as strongly anymore. I foresee an SPN squee-filled summer on my LJ.

I wanted to give this show a chance because I liked the premise. It comes on at the same time as Supernatural, so I can never watch it live, but lucky they had it On Demand so I could catch up.

Word of caution: This is not an overly favorable review, so if you adore this show, I suggest not reading it. There are things I like about the show, but I dislike more than like, and I know how much of a bummer it can be when someone says negative things about your show.

I made this my own little Supernatural celebration day. I watched a few episodes, dusted off some WIPs, and just have been enjoying the universe in general today. It's been great. Good to know I still love the show like I always have. My love just has matured, much like the characters have ;)

And what better way to celebrate than the day before SPN returns after its mini-hiatus.Five more eps left. Five more eps straight until the end.

No news on renewal yet, but if everything goes well, things are looking good. Of course, you never know with TV.

Dug out the DVDs and did some internet watching with meg_tdj. We watched the Pilot, Folsom Prison Blues, and One the Head of the Pin. Very random, I know. But I always have a soft spot for pilots of shows I love, and the Supernatural one did it so well. They were so young! And less bulky! And so...not mature LOL.

I picked Folsom Prison Blues as my pick for something out of my fave season, Season 2. I always enjoyed that episode. Henricksen! There were plenty of spectacular eps to chose from in S2, but I wanted a nice stand alone ghost hunt to have fun with. I really loved that whole law enforcement arc. And their lawyer? She was awesome.

Of course, Meg picked the angst fest from her fave season, Season 4. I admit I was not too fond of S4 when it first aired. Not for the writing. The writing and direction was fairly tight in S4, for this kind of show. (I say that because SPN, for as much as I love it, tends to backseat the main story and address it at the beginning, middle, and end of the season. It would be nice if Sam and Dean were more proactive and took action, instead of being reactionary. It messes up with pacing and momentum. I digress.)

Anyway, I'm a fan of Castiel, and it was a great episode for him. In many ways, it was a great episode for all of them, highlighting each of the demons and struggles the characters were facing. Plus the foreshadowing was crazy.

That made me think of the poor WIPs sitting here on my computer. I want to finish them. I really do. I've been having writing issues lately. It's not because I've lost interest or don't want to write anymore. Heck, I am still getting new ideas for stories on a daily basis. The energy and passion is there. I just seem to have this road block of getting it back out there. Maybe I'm afraid it's been so long that the voices will be off? That no one will care? That I'm delusional for still being this excited about the show and fandom activities? I'm not sure. I'd just love to finish them so I can move onto new stories in my series. I don't know what is stopping me so much.

Anyway, I'm not letting it ruin my day. Been having fun. New Supernatural tomorrow night. Don't forget! :)

My musings beneath the cut contain spoilers for all episodes aired. Do not read if you aren't caught up on the series.

I haven't done one in so long! I need to do one.

( So here we go... )

I have OCD in many, many ways. I've come to accept this about myself and joke about it. Everyone I know is aware of my issues, though I try my hardest not to let it get the best of me.

I realized I have been hoarding something...odd today. It's Easter. I went to church. I got some holy water bottled as is tradition in our church and I went home.

To realize I had bottle holy water from the past 3 years.

Why the heck am I hoarding holy water? Am I waiting for the Apocalypse or something?

Yes, I officially reached my limit. Maybe I shouldn't post this or make any decisions when I'm having a bad day, but it doesn't seem to be stopping me!

I always bend my schedule around for everyone else. I'm a people pleaser and I like to be accommodating. Unfortunately, this often leads to people just assuming I am there at their every whim and it results in me becoming frustrated and resentful.

No more. I am going to plan my day and if it clashes with someone else's plans, then they are going to have to shuffle their schedule. Maybe that is selfish of me, but at this point I need to take some of my time back. I'm sleeping awful, eating awful, and miserable all the time. Besides, I'm called selfish no matter what I do, so who cares right?

If people really do care, they'll be considerate enough to work with me instead of assuming I'm always available. If not...I guess I'll find out.

I'm doing a minor friends cut. I noticed a lot of people don't use LJ anymore. If you haven't updated in quite a while, I'm probably going to cut you. I really want to use LJ again and my flist has gotten massively unwieldy.

People who haven't posted in like 9 months aren't likely to see this anyway, LOL. But I wanted to mention it before I made the cut. (Not that it will make my flist any more manageable, but it will make me feel better.)

Then I'll revisit what comes next later. I'd really like to keep people with simialr interests or who I can have a conversation with :)

But that's for another day.

Of course, if you friended me and I never friended back and you'd think we'd make a good fit, please let me know and I'll add you on.

I have been reading a lot of YA (young adult) lately. I am always drawn to the concepts and plots, but the character drive me crazy.

I think I need to lay off YA for a while and look for some adult fiction that has similar concepts and themes.

In other news, I have been totally unproductive today.
