Urge to Write Rising....
I don't know what it is with me the last few days, but I suddenly want to write ALL THE THINGS. Except, I already have a few things on the go that I need to FINISH.
Today I was listening to Storyboard on Geek and Sundry over at YouTube while I worked - because there are some days where my job is so monotonous that if I don't have something to listen to, I go into a coma. Anyway, Storyboard is "Hangout" with a bunch of fantasy authors talking about writing, and it's something I can tune in and out of as required by my job...
But man, today it made me want to write the epic fantasy novel that I had an idea for ten years ago - so that's what I've been mentally doing for the past two hours, even though I have fanfic to finish... also, my epic fantasy novel doesn't have a plot, it just has a main character... and I don't even know his name or what he looks like, I just know who he is and I love him. So really, all I've been doing for the past two hours is thinking about an awesome guy that I made up ten years ago... and when I put it like that, it sounds rather pathetic.
In completely unrelated news: I follow some teenagers on tumblr who can't tell the difference between legitimate photos and manips... and it makes me want to weep for the future, because honestly, it should be pretty bloody obvious that that's Jensen's head on the body of a porn star. I feel like this should be taught in Junior High at some point: "Okay, Class, today, we're going to cover how to spot manips so that you don't look like an idiot on the internet - you'll thank me later."
Also, completely unrelated: Is it just me or has LJ been crazy quiet as of late? I feel like I even have less people chatting with me here. Maybe it's because I stopped writing epic Harry Potter crossovers? Maybe it's because people have moved on from the show? Maybe people have moved on from LJ? Maybe everyone is on tumblr reblogging manips? I don't know. Tumblr is far more narcissistic than LJ, which is I think part of the reason why I can't get into it that much. I basically only use it to look at pretty pictures of good-looking men... and to keep tabs on the Sherlock fandom.

Yeah, S7 pissed me off too. I think they're doing a pretty good job this year of opening back up the mythology and getting supporting cast back on the show... there were some rough seas in the first half of the season, but so far I'm really liking the back half. We'll see though...
As you point out, there's plenty of ways to still enjoy aspects of fandom without watching the show. There's gag reels and convention videos...and if you've decided you don't care about spoilers, the occasional funny interview with one or both of the boys.

I think finger and ankle injuries are more common in rugby actually. They ahve a great deal of rules to try and keep head injuries to a minimum. In fact, on average you get more serious injuries playing football (soccar) than you do in rugby. But rugby is more dangerous (people have died playing rugby).
I knew Charlie had come back. Woo! Hmm... this is getting more tempting. We'll see. I haven;t atucally watched a TV show since I stopped watching SPN. I just haven't felt like it. But if I get the urge, I think I will try this. Just a question, does anything important happen at the end of S7, other than Dean going to Purgatory?
I like some! Like the one abot the pennies, and the one with the time lag on the screens behind them. And the candy war one. :P OH and Misha's CV. Pffahaha. :D
YEY GAG REELS. I think the only gag reel that is better than SPNs is Firefly's. BEST. :D
