Thank you so much to withdiamonds and zacherysboxers for the virtual gifts. They were such a lovely surprise. *sends love*

I hope all the moms out there are having a wonderful day, because you all deserve it.

It was the last rugby match of the season today. A friendly game that had been arranged at the last minute which is why they played on the main pitch, and for the first time I could actually sit and watch them play. After rugby it was onto a grocery shop, then to the cinema to see Next. From there to the MiLs, then to my mam's, then back home where I cooked Sunday dinner and washed Corey's uniform. A good day I feel.

I've been reading various Asylum con reports, and I have to ask. Why would anyone think it's a good idea to ask about fanfic in a question and answer session? Or tell Jensen that there needs to be a Sam/Dean hug. Some people are just stupid, and they need to realise that some things need to stay within the fannish community. I've enjoyed the actor cons I've attended, but cringe each time at the fan question time, because there's always someone who doesn't know how to behave.

Moving on, I'll tell you all how lame I am. Last week musiclover03 offered WAVs of the clips from the Nsync dreamphone game. Then a few days ago _bettina_ linked to a nifty firefox add on for LJ. It tells you birthdays etc, but what's important for this story is it also announces when your flist has updated, audibly, and you can use your own sounds. Can you see where this is going? I now have Chris saying You're awesome, and don't forget I said so each time someone posts. Yes, I am that lame. *g*

*grins* Well, wrong fandoms, but: My ringtone on my phone is Samatha's nose twinkling sound from Bewitched, and my email sound at home is Spock saying "Fascinating." So you're not alone in your lame-ness.

And I would do just about anything for a sound clip of Keanu Reeves saying "Fuck. Me." from that one scene in Speed, but I've searched all the movie clip sites I can find, and that bit's just not out there. Not that I would use it for a phone ringtone (though I would be tempted, but the niece and nephew, no, I can't), but it would make a great error sound, or calendar appointment sound.

And I'm not discussing Asylum, because I'm still too traumatized by the whackjob who jumped Jensen. Not as traumatized as Jensen, I'm sure, but still. OMFG

It makes me feel better that other people use WAVs like that too, like if I'm going to be lame I'm doing it in good company *g*

That would make a fantastic error sound. It's a shame you can't find the clip.

Some people are stupid, sadly that's what it comes down to.

Oh, lord. What did they ask about fanfic, specifically? ::cringes:: Pet's right--this is why we can't have nice things.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It seems someone asked what he thought of fanfic, and he seemed really uncomfortable. Which is just... Are people insane? The report I was reading is here (http://benitle.livejournal.com/176627.html?#cutid1) and the whole thing makes me feel so bad for him.

And people wonder why he doesn't interact with fans that much.

[without-me.livejournal.com]

I just want to kill people sometimes. SIGH. It was bad enough when someone at Paley asked Kripke about "homosexual subtext" (not during the panel, but after), but Jensen? Criminy. Leave the boy alone.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Even more puzzling... Why would anyone think it was ok to POUNCE on Jensen? Seriously. Fucking moron.

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

And it sounds like she kinda went above and beyond pouncing, too.

*sigh* It's like what I tell my cat, over and over: Not everything is for you. Except even my cat sort of gets it, whereas I swear there are people who never do. Not everything is for you. It's just not that hard.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

And it sounds like she kinda went above and beyond pouncing, too.

Just a tad. It's quite embarrassing, really.

And sounds like the same speech I have to give the dogs. :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Some people are stupid. I'd be ashamed for them, but they're probably such an idiot that they think they've done nothing wrong.

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

I get so embarrassed for fandom in those kind of situations. And horrified for the actor/person concerned. Just. NO! Back away from the crazy okay?

and that sounds so far away from lame I'm considering something like it myself

And THANK YOU! for the virtual mother's day card - it's made my morning so far - especially opening it with the boyo on my lap asleep!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I get so embarrassed for fandom in those kind of situations

Exactly! Fandom is an awesome place but some people just don't get that some things need to stay within certain circles.

Dude! Go for it! It's a big old ego boost *g* </small? You're so very welcome *smooch*

[musiclover03.livejournal.com]

LOL glad you found a great use for those- heh :) I made a TrickC conversation with them :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Chris telling me I'm awesome is one heck of an ego boost *g*

[musiclover03.livejournal.com]

I love his phone messages-- his and JC's are the awesomest. Though I do love Lance's "awww you're so sweet". I set mine up to say "LOVE YA". And thank YOU for the heads up on that add on :) Much love to ya :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

It's a cool add on :)

[hegemony.livejournal.com]

This is the reason why I feel like I'd never go to a con for a fandom I actually cooperate in. Because crazy shit happens, and it traumatizes EVERYBODY involved.

As far as I'm concerned: Fandom's like fight club. What's the first two rules of fight club? YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB. *headdesk*

happy mother's day, sweetie

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've been to a few trek cons, and some of the questions asked made me want to sink in the floor. Some fans are just insane.

What's the first two rules of fight club? YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB. *headdesk*

Exactly! It's not difficult to remember.

Thank you! *smooch*

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, fandoms do uncomprehensible things. *sigh*

Happy Mothers Day, dear *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They really do.

Thank you, honey. *mwah*

[hakeer.livejournal.com]

Argh, crazy/idiotic fans. Never ceases to amaze me how stupid some people can be.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Some people take things far too far. They're idiots.

[bellamyrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes! It sounds like you had a good one as well. :D

That doesn't sound lame at all. I don't even use Firefox, but I'm tempted to start just so I can have Chris talk to me. :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, honey *smooch*

It was actually our mothers day back in March, but you know, it's still a day for moms, so I decided to celebrate it too *g*

Chris talking to me is awesome! I'm awesome, he tells me so ;)

[i-naiad.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone think it's a good idea to ask about fanfic in a question and answer session? Or tell Jensen that there needs to be a Sam/Dean hug.

People like that ensure that I will never go to an actor con.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've enjoyed the actor cons I've attended, but at the same time. Some of the fans make me feel ashamed of being in fandom.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Yay for being able to sit down during a game!

Your announcement sound makes me giggle! At the moment I have a simple harrumph as my general warning sound but sometimes I use a Dalek saying Emergency!. And my new-email-sound is the Cloister Bell from the late seasons of the Fourth Doctor. So you're definitely not alone in using creative sounds on your computer :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I swear, every game I go to I end up standing around for hours. Having a seat was awesome.

A Dalek sounds like a wonderful thing to use! I love having Chris talk to me, but have to admit, when I'm alone and he suddenly talks I often jump *g*

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

You're not lame, just very dedicated *g*.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I like that explanation! *g*

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

hey hey hey I have to tell you somethinggggggg! Okay so I've been doing some spring cleaning and I came across these ooooooold pictures, and found some from the *nsync concert I went to with nina a few years ago (holy cow 6 years ago!!) And it turns out I was a closet Chris fan for years hahaha I knew I always loved him but I wasn't ready to admit I was crushin' on him I guess. Heeeeeee So I just wanted to share with you. I knew you of all people would squee over Chris hehehe ♥

[rikes]

Thanks for the firefox tip! It should install itself the next time I open firefox. Can't wait to start playing with it!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's an awesome extension, with so many different options to play with.

[runzu.livejournal.com]

I haven't quite gotten a chance to see Supernatural yet, but with any actor, it's gotta be weird. O__o

I've installed the Firefox add on. :) I'm thinking about getting some of those wavs Jill put up. XD Or using my Heroes wav clips. Decisions, decisions. XD Thanks for the linkage.

Sorry, I'm late, I didn't get to do much yesterday ;___; but happy belated Mother's Day! Check this (http://runzu.livejournal.com/74756.html) out. :)

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

see, while I don't think it's inappropriate to ask about fanfiction in general, a fandom that has such a large amount of slash and dude, *incest* fiction, yeah, it just might NOT be the best discussion theme.

[stellamira]

I can't understand those people (who talk about fanfiction to the people the fiction is about), either. I, for one, rather pretend that they don't know it even exists, even though I know many of them do.
