I MAY BE A LITTLE WIRED. (Weekend update and some recs)

[dendritejungle]

Whee! I was fucking wiped this morning, but it's amazing what enough coffee and chocolate can do. I feel GREAT now! Anyone need anything around the corner? Across the city? In Buffalo?!?!? I could go for a bit of a run... *beams, twitches*

Right, right, update...Friday night I rather unexpectedly crashed out, which was clearly my body's way of prepping me for the insanity. Saturday I watched the finales of SPN Season 1 and IMToD with neeuqdrasil (*love*), then headed out for the all-night art-tastic insanity of Nuit Blanche. SO FUCKING AWESOME. I'm planning a whole massive honkin' post on THAT, but we'll see what time allows this week. (God, I'm so neglecting my Aussie pics... *facepalm*) 7PM to 7AM, baby - and then seeing neeuqdrasil off for her marathon at dawn.

After that came much prepping (and not much sleeping :P) in advance of the Sunday evening Supernatural fest! Which kicked ass, if I do say so myself: got to meet shing_ for the first time (yay!), and onci_dium and jadyn and audreyovisual, came, and we introduced my co-workers Optimus and BornClassy to the insanity of the LJ SPN fandom. Heh. ;P

We had season 2 finale parts 1 and 2, plus both season gag reels, plus snacks and pizza and PIE...and a Purple-Nurple-Off! It was unanimous that missyjack's recipe is far superior to the simple vodka-kool-aid-grape-juice combo that I also found, but there was a suggestion that the addition of kool-aid might render the good one even better. Clearly additional research and testing is needed! Sadly, we didn't make Audrey drunk enough that she staggered into work this morning: she's on vacation this week, and I do think it would have been hilarious if she'd forgotten and come in. Yes, I am evil.

And what fills me with even more glee is that the fun isn't ending! I've got eboniorchid's premiere par-tay this Thursday (and hon, I've got loads of Purple Nurple makings I'm happy to bring, if you like...), then a long weekend of awesomeness with her and neeuqdrasil in Ottawa. \o/

Also, since I'm in total Premiere Countdown Mode with the rest of you *twitches again, some more* allow me to pimp four pieces of flist awesomeness to you to help hold us over. They're all quick, in case your attention span time is as short as mine is these days:

1) missyjack has done a speed version of Supernatural Season One with her usual brand of hilarity and incisiveness.

2) aelfsiden has a set of SPN limericks. She's started with Born Under a Bad Sign, and I can't WAIT for the rest: she's got real talent!

3) Just when you think our fandom can't be any less subtle or classy, onci_dium has an identify-that-crotch-shot quiz going for Jensen and Jared.

4) nixwilliams wrote (and sings) a gorgeous song called "Cotton." You can read the lyrics and download it off his site here. It's just beautiful, and it makes me think of Dean every time I hear it...

Thank you for coming to see me off, sweetie!

And I'm still pouting that I had to miss last night's revelry. :(

See! Pouting!

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

*twirls you* I'm so proud of you, hon! :) And my pleasure.

...and yeeeah, the "pouting face" in your icon is reeeeally convincing there, dear... :P

[audreyovisual.livejournal.com]

Ha haaaaa!

I remembered I could sleep in today, SO I DID.

*thumbs nose*

Thanks for having me over - it was great meeting everyone.

The Purple Nurples were mighty tasty - and my vote is firmly on the side of the Missyjack recipe. Yum!

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

Lovely to have you! And I've asked D if I can bring the makings on Thursday, so we can all have them AGAIN. *glee!*

[padys.livejournal.com]

Ooh, your twitchiness sounds awesome.

I was at Nuit Blanche too! Except, y'know.. sorta wasted.

Yay for premiere parties! I'll be watching by myself, then the S1/2 marathon on Saturday and Monday.

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Nuit Blanche awesome? (Hee, if you can remember it? *g*)

Can't wait to hear how your marathon goes! (And really, a TV marathon is so much more reasonable than this whole pesky physical-activity thing everyone was doing on Sunday, don't you think? ;D

[(Anonymous)]

Wheeee! It sounds like you had a pretty awesomely exhausting weekend! *bounces* And yes, the fun has only just begun!

[eboniorchid.livejournal.com]

*pouts* Stupid computer! That was me! :)

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I am so psyched about the fun had and yet-to-come that here I am, wired at 3:25 in the morning! \o/ (Work should be interesting tomorrow.... :P)

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

*blushes* thank you!

and omg! IDENTIFY THAT CROTCH SHOT! FTW!

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

Hey, my pleasure - it really is gorgeous. And I may just pimp it again above an LJ-cut to make extra sure everyone hears it.

And yeah, quite the quiz, eh? *loves flist liek woah*

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

:)

there's a new one up today!

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

O RLY? *runs off to check*

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

hope you likes it, precious!

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

Wow, sounds like you were rather busy this weekend.

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

\o/ Yeppers...I'm still recovering...but so worth it! *grins*

[http://users.livejournal.com/shing_/]

7-7? That's hardcore. I was at the ScotiaBank run, too! But only did the 5K (my brother ran the 1/2).

I've got to do Nuit Blanche the right way next year cause the little that I saw was pretty cool.

It was awesome meeting you & everyone!

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm in awe of ALL you runners!

Yeah, I was rather hardcore about Nuit Blanche. Hopefully next year they won't put it back-to-back with morning runs and marathons so more people can make it: it really is worth it.

So lovely to meet you too, my dear! Thanks for coming! :D :D :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/shing_/]

Oh no, I didn't run the 5K. I just walked it. Hopefully next year but then again, I said that last year...

[everly.livejournal.com]

Yay for SPN fest! And purple nurples!!

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

\o/ And yes, we'll have to do something else sometime so you can come too. *nods*

[aelfsiden.livejournal.com]

OMG! SPLEE! I love you so much. You like my limerick and you said I have talent. Plus you broke my rec virginity. ♥! :)

I finished it and moved it to its own page because it's long and for some reason I think it's shiny. :) I keep petting it now that it's all done.

Born Under A Bad Rhyme

Also your party sounds like it was awesome. I think I should move where you are ASAP. If only for the purple nurples. :)

♥

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

*g* Was it good for you? It was good for me. OF COURSE you keep petting it: it's wonderful! :D I'm writing a new post even as I speak reccing the completed project...

And yes, the party was wonderful! And hey, Toronto's a cool place to move, but if you ever want to visit I have a perfectly comfortable couch as well...

[aelfsiden.livejournal.com]

It was awesome for me. I'm glad it was good for you, too. *grin*

I'd love to move somewhere - basically anywhere but where I am. :) And I have heard that Toronto's a cool place to live. I'll probably be here in Louisiana forever *sob* . . . but maybe one day I'll get to visit, which would be cool! Especially now that I have the offer of a couch. ;)
