live well ★ laugh often

+ Icon. Made for me (and only me) by the wonderful morgentau. *draws hearts* No, you can't share *grins*

+ Article sent to me by my cousin entitled 'Transformation and Transcendence: The Power of Female Friendship.' It's really powerful and empowering. You should give it a chance :)

+ So we were discussing sixth grade math on Twitter. It was quite hilarious. I was helping my niece with her hw but couldn't figure out a problem. I tweeted it and got responses from a couple of people, but hearditbothways, changethemusic, and dugindeep are lifesavers! (The problem and solution is here if you're curious. Yay dugindeep! haha) So yeah, I need to brush up on math, lol

DUDE. CHUCK. DUDE. I can't believe it's over. I didn't start the show when it aired, but around S2 and fell head over heels. It's made of all kinds of win and I'm sad it's over. It had an amazing run and I loved the full circle it made. I have so much hope for Chuck/Sarah (I've always shipped it and they made it completely believable). Yeah, it was awesome. I did cry a few times at the end, ngl. haha

+ I updated the written for fics at the schmoop meme at notjustroomates, so check that out :)

Stolen from a few random people...

Post the first sentence (or three) or a random large chunk from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, you'll get talking about writing, and the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!

1. For a nuzzling prompt on my schmoop_bingo card, methinks.

Jared’s not a nuzzler, per se.

Sure, he likes to nuzzle Jensen, and cuddle him, and pretty much drape his entire body over Jensen’s, but he just like being close to Jensen.

It might also be the fact that Jensen gets all annoyed and has this pouty expression whenever Jared starts to nuzzle Jensen. His lips stick out, his eyebrows crinkle, and his eyes scrunch up along with his nose, and it’s seriously one of the most adorable expressions Jared has ever seen in his life.

So obviously he does whatever it takes so Jensen will make that face often.

2. For poor_choices' knight!au fic

When Jensen had first looked into knight training, he hadn’t ever thought he’d fall in love. Going in, he had assumed that being a knight would bring great honor to his family and maybe it would give him the courage to talk to Lady Danneel, the girl who was pretty much the ideal woman. Sure, he might not have loved her in that way, but love comes with time and proximity. And maybe he did have the urge to look at the Sirs rather than the Ladies, but that too would be changed after marriage.

So of course, everything was flipped upside down when Jared Padalecki tumbled into his life.

Jensen actually wasn’t too fond of Jared when he first showed up in their training course. Knight training was a big deal. It was a way to bring honor to a family that didn’t have much. It was a chance to do something good and be respected for it. And of course, as his mom and dad told him, it was a chance to make connections, save a damsel in distress, and get married.

Hopefully something comes from that last one SOON.

+ Crap. I just realized I have to do the newsletter *facepalm*
