So, apparently today is a day to spread joy, or some such? That's cool, I always highly approve of the spreading of joy. Unfortunately, I have nothing new to offer on that front.

The only thing I have is a snippet from my slowly progressing story.

They could fake civility pretty well, most of the time, but in the car all of their pretenses cracked and everything came spilling out. After all the time they’d spent in that damn car in their lives you’d think they would’ve figured out how not to bite each other’s heads off during a long trip. They’d both been well-conditioned by the fear of John Winchester’s strong right hand reaching out to smack the loudest offender but Dad was gone now and Dean was a stubborn idiot and no amount of careful foresight was enough to avoid the new pitfalls strewn throughout the ever-treacherous Winchester Emotional Minefield.

Emo joy is my favorite kind. ;-)

One of my new professors speaks in metaphors. I kid you not. He spent something like 30 minutes last night telling a story about his pet turtle Fern. If you paid enough attention you could kind of figure out the point he was trying to make, but it wasn't very linear. I see Professional Responsibility is going to be an exciting class. If only I can manage to stay awake, that is.

I finished reading The Lions of Al-Rassan again, for the umpteenth time, today. It made me cry, of course. No matter how many times I dip into that world the beauty and tragedy of the ending never ceases to affect me.

You know another thing that always gets me? The end of season 4 of The X-Files. The baylorsrs and I watched 'Demons' and 'Gethsemene' last week and it was quite the overwhelming experience. *flaps hands* Somehow baylorsr and I didn't end up on the floor, rocking in the foetal position, but it was a near thing. Oh, X-Files, you really did ruin me for tv for life.

Ummm, yeah, I think I'm going to go try and do some more productive-type things. Carry on, internetz, carry on.

I totally failed at Spread Joy Day. Oh well. I'll try to do it randomly at some other point. However, let me commend you on your contribution! Have I mentioned that I love your Winchesters (and Weechesters)? That line about John smacking the loudest offender--so right. And this whole paragraph... Just, Oh, Sam!

GAH. I totally remember my first viewing of both those episodes. I NEARLY DIED omg.

Okay. Must put on clothing before the radiator guy gets here.

Yes....

You know what I did today? I caught the tail end of an episode of your show. Not sure which season it was, 1 or 2, it was not 3. It was the one where they go back to their childhood home because of this poltergeist? Anyway, I caught the climactic moments with Mom going all Phoenix on the polty, and that lovely black actress I adore with the high voice, and then the reveal of Papa. ooh.

I've always wanted to know, not wanting to wade into the Wiki of it all (you cain't trust that site half the time), is Sam demonspawn?

OMG, I have so sucked at lj communication in the past couple of weeks. I'm sorry, hon.

Ahem, your question actually raises a rather dramatic issue that at one time had hiyacynth hyperventilating. The best answer is Sam is and is not demonspawn. He was born a human baby but at 6 months the Demon performed a blood ritual that bound Sam to him, in a way. Mommy interrupted so Mommy got burnt on the ceiling, very tragic. See, the Demon had world domination plans and Sam was one of a group of children who were ritualized.

The question still remains whether Sam's powers came from the ritual or whether he was chosen because he had powers. And now that demons are calling him the Boy King and the Anti-Christ no one's entirely sure what's in store for the tallest Winchester.

And here I bet a simple 'yes' or 'no' would've sufficed . =D

Well, you have successfully spread a little joy my way with that fic snippet - and I needed a little joy today, it has sucked so bad. But yay! Fic! More please?!
x.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, I'm glad I could do something to make a sucky day even a little bit better. Winchesters make everything more joyful.

You want more fic, huh? I might be easily persuaded to send you what I have, if, of course, I had your email address. ;-)

[cunien.livejournal.com]

ahem *kuku underscore lau at hotmail dot com* :D I would love fic to read! Although hiyacynth knows I am good for nothing but random yays and squeeage. But, you know, if you need a cheerleader, then I'm your girl!

Are you ever on aim messenger?

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Since my story is moving so slowly cheerleading is exactly what I/it needs. So you'll be perfect. ;-)

Sadly, I don't have an aim account. Kinda anachronistic, I know. I should probably see about getting one of those ...
