* I still really, really, REALLY want a kris/adam cupcake wars au. where adam is the high maintenance, extravagant, over the top cupcake baker/decorator diva and kris is the scruffy, laid back carpenter who he gets paired with to make his final display in the grand finale championship final challenge. but then I realize that there's really no other PLOT other than that. (unless, of course, they were paired together once before and kris somehow [BECAUSE HE THOUGHT ADAM WAS HOT] misinterpreted adams idea for the final display and adam almost lost because of it. but for some reason the other contestant got disqualified and adam won. but he's still bitter about almost losing and will be fine AS LONG AS he doesnt get that same crappy carpenter again, who - while cute - really SUCKED at his job. and then, of course, they DO get paired up. and...stuff happens. I just - thats not really a PLOT, right?
RIGHT??)
* and THEN I remember that I havent written anything creativly in like, five YEARS and probably wouldn't remember how to do it anyway and would have to start up like, a sockpuppet to post under because it would suck so hard. so I just imagine them having snarky sex in the back of a bakery covered in icing and flour in my head.
* speaking of writing, where are all the One Direction recs? :D
* as soon as I'm done posting this I'm going to try and muster up the energy to get off the couch and get my credit card so I can have a paid account again just because I miss my icons.
* I think that is all!
(thank you liiiiiiiiiiz!)

I WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER TONIGHT AS I AM SURE YOU WILL NOW ALSO. also possible? I need to put down the wine.
I KNOW! ISSUES!
in other news, today is brooklinegirl's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADY!! you are one of my oldest (HA HA HA) friends and I love and miss your face every day! I hope you have a wonderful year and I will enjoy these next few months when you are WAY OLDER than I am \o/
again, like most years, I apologize for including your birthday wishes in a post where I wax poetic about a crappy CW show. OOPS. I'd say I will promise never to do it again but you and I both know that would be a lie.
:D :D :D
LOVE YOU ANYWAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Ugh this is so bad. I'm trying to remember a kradam fic that I love and want to reread but I can't remember the name or author or anything. Ugh!
It was the story where kris is divorced? Widowed? And works in a restaurant and Adam is like a producer? And sees him on YouTube and they meet and Adam goes to the kids bday party and stuff? Is this familiar to anyone?
I'd love the link if anyone has it. And if this was written by someone on my flist I'm sorry I forgot who wrote it!

so we go to the actual show and it's all booths of cards and collectibles from like, boxing and wrestling and stuff, and also like, old things - garbage pail kids, etc - and tv shows. so we're walking and all of a sudden Ava stops, points, and shouts "Mommy! there's the man who's hanging in our basement!!"
o.O
what was ACTUALLY happening was she saw a SMALLVILLE booth, and recognized it as the posters I have hanging in my laundry room. (shut up.) HOWEVER, now everyone in the greater philadelphia area thinks I have tom welling HANGING in my basement. YAY.
and THEN, the Mr. is all, OH, I GOT A CARD OF THE GUY FROM SUPERNATURAL and I'm all !!!! and then he shows it to me and it's MISHA COLLINS. and Im sure we all remember how I feel about misha, but if you DON'T it goes something like this:
:((((((((((
sooooo. yeah. that was my weekend! how was yours! who wants to come talk about last weeks Hart of Dixie with me in here???
has anyone read the Gone series by Michael Grant? they're YA books. I think there are 4 or 5 of them now with the next one coming out in april. they're kind of like a cross between science fiction and horror, similar in plotline to Under the Dome by Stephen King, but with all kids and all sorts of crazy stuff happening. anyway, they're really awesome and if anyone has read them I would like to DISCUSS THEM with you.
in other news, we have a surprise 50th bday party to go to tonight for my uncle which would be fun, except that it starts at 7pm and my kid usually goes to bed for the night at 630 and is a HUGE GIANT CRAB if he has to stay up later than that. so this should be fun.
:D
I've been reading lj a little bit lately and trying to check out my flist more and make some comments and stuff, because really, this 'never being on the internet thing' is BOOOOO-RING. so yeah, in no particular order here's what I've been up to the past, oh, I dont know, four and a half YEARS or so:
- Ava will be five soon. F I V E. I mean, seriously, WTF?? she's going to kindergarten in the fall. when she does I will most likely be going to therapy trying to find the last five years of my life.
- Jake was just one. I KNOW, RIGHT?? WTF again! he's also HUGE. 31 inches, 28 pounds, walking, talking, the works. craziness.
- I am back to work but doing much, MUCH less hours. because I'm usually tired. and just dont feel like it. it's a glorious thing.
- I have pretty much no fannish interests right now, but if I DID have one it would probably be slashing the crap out of Big Time Rush. a show about cute, singing teenage boys on Nickelodeon. you might think I'm joking? but really, I'm not.
- it's very sad what having a five year old does to your brain. I actively find myself listening to and not turning off things like Justin Bieber and One Direction. VERY. SAD.
- as far as tv goes, if I'm not watching some kind of reality thing (Idol, Project Runway, Top Chef, SYTYCD, Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, American Pickers, any food network contest show of any kind) I'm watching New Girl and Hart of Dixie. I actually feel they are VERY GOOD SHOWS which I love VERY MUCH and am VERY DEFENSIVE about them.
- you're probably wishing I was joking about the Hart of Dixie thing, but sadly, I am not.
- apparently my paid lj account expired because I only have five icons. WHOOPS.
so yeah. I think that's where I'm at. Im hoping to find something to fannishly occupy my time with SOON because really, the Big Time Rush thing could be DANGEROUS.
HELLO, INTERNETS.
Hi! Hello! I am posting this from my phone! In my bed! I know this is old hat to most of you, but considering I only have free time when I'm supposed to be sleeping I'm pretty excited.
So yes, I should hopefully be popping in some more with an luck. Yay! Hope you are all doing well!

Well. YOU WOULD BE WRONG.
Anyway, hello! I am here! Thank you so much for the bday wishes last week. I'm amazed people even remember me let alone my bday so I was very touched. I'm definitely going to try and be around more, not just for the fact that Ava is obsessed with the SLASHIEST BOYBAND TV SHOW EVER (I mean, seriously, I could write BAJILLIONS OF WORDS about Big Time Rush if I like, remembered how to write and had a spare MINUTE to actually do it. For now I'll just write them all in my head and it will remain glorious) but because man, facebook just doesnt cut it.
Like, you know, when Mr. E does something SO FUCKING HORRIBLY STUPID that I actually consider getting him TESTED for actual BRAIN FUNCTION? Well on facebook I can't SAY anything about it because, you know, HE READS IT. And so does his MOM. Or the days that, I dont know, I hate my job, my underwear itches and my mother is insane? Well right now I have to keep all that inside and MAN, it's killing me.
So yes. Back to lj it is, if only to talk about how gay James and Logan are for each other and fill you in on how a grown man with 2 children can still mess up putting the shit from the washer to the dryer.
In the mean time, HELLO. Would you like to see who has been occupying all my time?
( because really, he's kind of ridiculously awesome )
things here are good. ava had a bit of an adjustment issue in the beginning which we hope is getting better lately, and I had forgotten what it was like to be up at 4am every day with a hungry newborn, but I got used to that again real fast lol.
jake is a great baby which helps a LOT. good eater, good sleeper. he went from just about 11lbs at birth to just over 14lbs at his two month checkup, lol, and really, how hard could my life possibly be when I get to kiss this face all day long:
( handsome boy! )
(YIKES)
We've been home since late Thursday and everyone is doing great. He pretty much just naps all day long and sleeps for 4-5 hours at a clip at night which is awesome. Pictures and more info when I get more time, but for now, yay! Baby here!!
Someone I work with said that if I just open an itunes on the new laptop and plug my ipod in it will act as like, a storage device and automatically download everything from the actual ipod into the new itunes automatically. but I'd heard that this wasnt the case and this dude is always stoned so I'm not sure I trust him all that much. any opinions?
ALSO, my parents both got ipods for xmas (dear lord, my father just figured out how the call waiting works, I cant even IMAGINE an ipod, but whatever, lol) but they dont know how to like, have one itunes on 1 computer but have 2 seperate libraries for each of their ipods. does anyone know how to do this too?
THANK YOU. also, omfg GO AWAY SNOW :/
1. ok, so Barney is a person inside a giant dinosaur costume, but the other little guys - BJ and baby bop and cousin riff, etc - who is inside those costumes: kids or midgets?
(HAHA. ok, I'm sorry, but I AM SERIOUS. I think this question EVERY TIME we pass this stupid show on tv.)
2. WHERE ARE MAX AND RUBY'S PARENTS???? I just - there is NO SHOW IN THE WORLD that gets me angrier than this one. (well, ok, the lisping duck on the Wonder Pets comes close.) but SERIOUSLY. she's baking CAKES, taking the kid SHOPPING. they're on the BUS. she only has five dollars for his PANTS. she puts him to BED at night.
SHE IS BAKING CAKES. FOR HER GRANDMA. SHE'S LIKE, SIX.
I just - this is not a good message! It's not! my second child will NEVER have to choose between pants or a dragon shirt because there's not enough money for both plus his bus ride home, with, you know, his SIX YEAR OLD SISTER.
(ok, maybe she's nine. WHATEVS.)
3. Has anhyone but me seen the show on the Food Network called Cupcake Wars? It's pretty much a terrible show about baking cupcakes and there's always a theme and then some stupid finale thing, but ok, it's always on when I get home from work at night and I wind up watching it. And as part of the finale you have to make a thousand cupcakes in 2 hours and you get a carpenter to work for you and make up a custom display that you design based on that episodes theme.
So the other night I'm watching, and this lady wins and her carpenter comes out and he's all scruffy and in plaid and omg, at 1am I'm like, HE REMINDS ME OF KRIS ALLEN. and THEN the lady goes on to say how she worked with him before (this was some kind of all stars episode or something) and how CUTE he was and holy shit, that would be SUCH AN AWESOME Kradam au. Like, Adam is this kind of high maintenance professional cupcake/baker/designer guy and Kris is the carpenter that keeps getting assigned to him and, I dont know, Kradam-y THINGS happen.
*happy sigh* It's been making me smile for DAYS just thinking about it.
I...have nothing else, I don't think. I've been offline for six months and this is what I come back with. WHOOPS.
So, anyway, HERE IS MY UPDATE!
( updatey on things like, home, work, Ava, baby on the way, fandom, SPN, kradam and other stuff )
Apparently I'm on the "post once a month" posting schedule, which sucks! I have many things to talk about soon, such as me being crazy, house stuff, work stuff, Ava stuff, baby stuff, tv stuff, ETC, but before that, I have a POLL for you. A BABY NAMING POLL.
Now, again, I'm not like, having the internet name my baby, I'm just, you know, CURIOUS. All three of these names are in our top three, so please don't tell me how much you hate any of them/you think it sounds like a dogs name (which someone ACTUALLY SAID TO ME JFC) /you used to know a serial killer with that name, because man, I just don't want to hear it, lol. Also, the middle name is non-negotiable since we used the Mr's aunts name as a middle for Ava and are going to use my grandpa's name as a middle for the boy. So the William is a keeper.
And, by all means, if you have like, the BEST boys name in the WORLD and want to suggest it, I'M ALL EARS. I will sadly let you know that so far Sam, Dean, Nick, Joe, and Jared have all been vetoed by the Mr. (I didn't even suggest Jensen because, well, I kind of think it's a stupid name. SORRY, JENSEN.) Also vetoed but are names I love are Anthony (bad relative in the Mr's family), Jack (bad relative in my family), and Rocco (which I think is a fucking ADORABLE name but the Mr thinks when I'm not all hopped up on pregnancy hormones I might regret it. SIGH.)
But yes! Vote! Tell me stuff!
Poll #1647943 I'm not really letting the internets name my baby, I swear...
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 126
Boy baby L should be named:
| Jake William L. |
| Drew William L. |
| Vincent William L. |
| Something Else William L. |
SIGH.
Anyway, I'm also on a crazy au kick lately, so does anyone have any good J2 au's to rec me? I havent read any in a while, so stuff that's recent, not so recent, kind of old-ish, etc, you name it and I wants it.
(uhm, I'll actually take any and all of your J2 recs, au or not. I'M IN THE MOOD.)
So yes! Recs, please! I miss the booooooooys ♥
AH HAHAHAHA. WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS???
It's like...three dimensional gingerbread chilldren...people? And huge, stuffed, uhm, flowers with FACES? And some little dude who was pushing a cart and had like, I dont know, ice cream cone things on the sides of his head?
I HAVE NO IDEA. I JUST KNOW FOR A FACT I HAVENT DONE DRUGS IN A WHILE, YET THIS...KIND OF MADE ME FEEL STONED, NGL. Also, Ava's face was PRICELESS when it was on. This is a reenactment:
@.@
Seriously. omg. wtf IS this show???
Anyway, in the interest of full disclousure, here are updates on things like...
( house stuff! cleaning stuff! ava stuff! fannish stuff! and the answer to the question Will The Mr. Have to Shoot Himself in the Head if We Get Another Girl in This House In March - BABY stuff! )
