Happy birthday, brighton_girl Beth, I hope today is fantastic for you <3

As it seems to be the trend to mention this, my view on the new user info page is, I don't mind it at all. It gives you numbers right there at the top of your page -- yes, I am that lazy to not want to scroll -- and that has to be a win. From looking at those numbers it seems I missed my ljversary. By quite a while. Oh well. So, thumbs up, LJ. It may not be the best looking thing out there, but it gives you all the info you need.

I'm sitting waiting for SPN and CSI to finish downloading, and this is the time I'd normally go make hot chocolate, because hot chocolate is perfect to drink while watching my shows. However. We have no milk. Or hot chocolate. And in fact we have no coffee either. Now we do have tea bags but tea needs milk, so I'm drinking hot orange juice. Which is fine. I like hot orange juice. But it's not hot chocolate. And now you know all about my hot drinks situation. Aren't you glad?

My story is off at beta and now I'm nervously waiting for reactions. I should probably get started on SeSa or finish off my other fic but I want to do any revisions first. Of which they'll probably be many. The cycle of a story, man. You fall in love with it as you write. Then think it's the worst thing ever. Then later on you read and think, this isn't bad. At least that's what I do, anyway.

Woo! Shows have been achieved. Now what do I watch first? That's the question.

ETA: SPN spoilers in comments.

Supernatural! Because then I can talk to you about it - I'm just about to watch myself!

[beams at you]

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You drive a hard bargain, Lucy!

Supernatural it is!

[randomling]

[applauds] Yay!

Also: OH, BOYS.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Does this mean you've watched! Can we discuss!?

I have!

[randomling]

I have watched! And, OMG DEAN. :O

I so need an SPN icon, man.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

It was such a fun episode in many ways, then they hit you with that scene at the end and it's just. Ouch. It hurts my heart that they're still that distance between them.

Still, seeing teddy attempt to shoot himself in the head, with the poof of stuffing remains made of awesome.

I really need to update my icons. They're from season one. And yes. You need one!

[randomling]

OMG the teddy. That was so awful and so hilarious at the same time. Dear me, it's just.... "We're teddy bear doctors!" I love my boys.

I loved the concept - ooh, wishing well gone bad! - and the whole thing about Hell is just amazing. That Dean remembers every second and no, Sam, talking about it won't make it better. (You know what might, Sam? A HUG. You wouldn't think Sam was meant to be the sensitive girly one when Dean blurts out his problems and Sam just goes, [blank stare of emo]. I know he's all confused and upset and stuff, but really, HUG YOUR BROTHER.)

Um, rant over? :D

I definitely need an SPN icon. Mmmmm, boys. You will have to have a Chris instead!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

The teddy suicide amused me, as did invisible boy getting knocked down. I don't know what that says about me *g*

I feel hugs are always a good thing. I don't know how receptive Dean would have been, but yes. Your rant is noted and understood!

I'll never turn down a Chris!

[llamabitchyo.livejournal.com]

You know... I love you dearly and support the hot chocolate urge, but I think I'm very, very glad I don't live in the land of hot orange juice.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know if it's a land thing. It may just be a my family thing *g*

Ahahahaha. Awesome icon choice.

[llamabitchyo.livejournal.com]

Oh, if it's a Terri-thing, that's okay. :D

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

I shall have to send you random spice teas, tm, so that you can have more choice of milk-free hot drinks - but that won't be hot chocolate either.

(I did about 1/2 the BiS edit earlier this week - it has lots of hearts in the margins)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You know, spice teas are something I've never really drank. It never crossed my mind, really. Obviously I'm stuck in my ways. Hot chocolate. It's been my favourite thing lately. When I post that story it'll be Bob in Spaaaace ( fueled by hot chocolate ) *g*

<3 Though I imagine there'll be lots of, are you on crack, too.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Happy belated anniversary! :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey.

*mwah*

I've never heard of hot orange juice. I'm not sure what to think.

I'm sitting here with a half cup of cold coffee and a nice hot pot of it in the kitchen, but both Neville and Lucy are on my lap, along with the laptop, and I hate to disturb them. Mostly because if I wake Nev up, he's going to want to go outside and chase critters again, and we really just came in a few minutes ago. Which is why my coffee is cold, it sat here while we looked for squirrels.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hot orange juice has always been one of my comfort drinks. I'm always surprised more people don't drink it.

You're a slave to your animals *g*

Not that I blame you.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

It's better than the earlier samples but there are still things I strongly dislike about the new profile. Most it things that I can easily change by writing a css userscript and apply it with Stylish but it irritates me enormously that they went ahead and introduced it so speedily instead of letting the beta process take its time.

A belated Happy LJ Anniversary!!

Milk in tea is for barbarians! :-) Hot orange juice? Yeah, why not. Especially if you added a little white wine or dry cider, a stick of cinammon and a couple of cloves, and some extra sugar.

Bob in Spaaace!!!!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They did seem to introduce the changes early, but I'll never understand the fuss some people make about change. When I was reading the flist earlier practically every entry was about hating the new user info.

Thank you! Though it was almost two months ago so it's very belated :)

I can't drink tea without milk. Which is weird as I like black coffee. That sounds like very elaborate hot orange. My recipe is pour it in a cup and nuke it *g*

Bob is off at beta. It's scary!

[brighton-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it's shaping up to be a good day!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad <3

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The not!hot chocolate story is just adorable! Like you! *pinches your cheeks* But you're right, even if it's good, it's always wrong when you're not drinking the appropriate beverage while watching your shows.

And wasn't SPN just brilliant? Oh, show! Oh, boys!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Dude. I still have no hot chocolate! That is so wrong! However, I do have milk and coffee now so that'll do in a pinch *g*

It was awesome! This season has been amazing!

[rikes]

Hot orange juice??? Never heard of that, but I have to say it doesn't exactly sound very yummy. Might have to try that though, since I have a sore throat and foresee lots of hot drinks in the next couple of days.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's nice! I'm actually surprised more people don't drink it. But it seems not.

Gah, sore throats are horrible. I hope yours goes soon.
