If the book takes off, I am contemplating offering my services as Gothy Wardrobe Consultant to people who would be willing to pay for travel and my fees. Because then I could afford more corsets and fluffy skirts, yesindeedy.

That sounds like all kinds of fun. Sometime we should all list our talents in case one of us can ever afford an entourage.

Bloodplay: not an appropriate way of showing admiration to an actor, ladies and gentlem well, ladies.

A friend of mine attended a horror con back in the 80s and saw a fan open up a vein so Clive Barker could sign an autograph for him in blood. Apparently, Clive is a fainter.

Huh. Turns out I've been in some of the sanest fandoms around. Who knew? When Jensen did "A Few Good Men" he came out for autographs after the play, in the sweaty Dallas heat, and signed away, very politely, absolutely free. Every day. I don't know if he had done a convention by then. Of course, so did Lou Diamond Phillips so it may have been peer pressure.

I've been watching season one Gilmore Girls and it made me think about Fay's post regarding JP's dramatic growth of acting range in the first of the series. I know we've commented on it along the way, but it's just so nice to watch. I can see so much of Rory's Dean at the beginning of Supernatural. As long as he is Jess' Sam, he is still Rory's Dean. But then he gets exponentially better and Rory's Dean disappears. So did Jess' Sam, I guess. Le sigh.

That probably shouldn't have made me laugh quite as hard as it did.

Aw, Austin. Bless the actors! With the signing things! And, again, I am conscious of how totally risible the comparison is, but I am always torn between being being delighted and having huge runawayrunawayrunaway impulses when people come and say nice things after a show I've been in. And going out to see people afterwards tends to leave me blushy and full of flail. I've certainly said this before, but it's my only point of comparison in the whole Being Famous thing - I found the experience of being recognised by total strangers, while I was in a coffeeshop in Delhi, pretty much did my head in. Because - Delhi, for fuck's sakes! And here you are chatting to your friend thinking you're enjoying privacy and whatever, and then suddenly the people at the next table are all "...sorry, but weren't you in a play in Bangkok a few weeks ago? You were really good!" Which was thrilling and flattering, to be sure, but also freaked me the fuck out. And although I love the acting, and wish I could do more and get better, I would not want to be a celebrity. No siree.

And that's without anyone opening up a vein, or posting manipulated images online of me shagging my best friend. (Although I have had my boss basically slash me with said best friend, in assembly, to several hundred kids and colleagues. Which was startling.)

Mad props to all the professional actors who take this stuff in their stride.

So, continuing my erratic rewatching - Mystery Spot continues to be made of pure, unbridled win. I skipped Maleus Misogynarum, or whatever, because, yeah, no - but Mystery Spot was a gem of funny and editing and timing and sheer OMGWTF heartbreak. Loved it.

What else? Oh, Harmony-is-a-vampire ep was quite good, but it made me do a fair bit of frowning at the screen and wishing that there were a few more characters of colour in random positive roles. Oh! And Dream a little dream of me was made of epic win! With Sam's saucy dream about Bela, and Dean's big showdown with himself. Love!

I have once again spent the afternoon alternating between going "Aaaww, Sammy!" and saying "Dean! Oh, Dean!" in the kind of high-pitched girlish squeel that would embarrass a gleeful dolphin.

Apparently, I have no shame.

None of us have any idea what you're talking about Fay.

None.

Whatso.ever.

I don't have most of my LJ icons SPN themed either.

Nope.

Oh and if anyone says my phone alarm is Dean shouting to turn off the phone, they are a lying liar who lies.

WANT! WANT! WANTWANTWANTWANT!!!!!

Fuck.

Okay, I am due for a new phone where I can give it proper sounds - this one is coming up on being four years old, and, and - OMG, WANT!!!

Oh, ninety percent of my icons are SPN. And I just got a new MP3 player and made a Brothers Winchester mix.

Not that I'm an obsessed fan who often watches Jensen in Blonde and Gilmore Girls just for Jared or anything.

Duuuuude.
