Why is it that as soon as I get a phone in my hand I turn into a complete idiot?

I finally got up the nerve to call Comcast this morning to find out about their service (NOT because I want Comcast, I don't, but because that is what my new apartment is already wired for, and I don't think I can have my dish because it would have to face the opposite direction to the satellite), and phrases like "dual-channel tuner" and "cable modem" completely fled my head and I ended up sounding like someone who has been living in a cave for the past 20 years. However, the guy was nice if a bit patronizing. I can't believe I have to pay extra for the DVR and modem though. Every month. *sulks*


and because I am a sheep, and I am in the middle of writing three stories (four if you count the fic tag I'm playing with [livejournal.com profile] dreamlittleyo and editing two more, and my brother is visiting and I'm moving soon...

Name any story I've written, and any character in it, canon or OC. I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story.

fic is here if you want help thinking of something

I'd love to know some secrets about Power!verse Sam. :D

1. Sam cried when Bobby told them about Ruby having been Dean. Not right then, but later, when Dean and Bobby were out in the yard banging bits of metal together and drinking beer. It was partly relief that he still had his Dean with him, partly feeling for Dean that his brother had been forced to take over the body of an innocent woman and use her, and partly it was the release from the twisting guilt he'd felt over the fact that he'd always had an attraction to Ruby that he couldn't understand.

2. The first time Sam held Dean down with his powers, the thrill and fear took enough of an edge off how totally fucking horny it made him that he managed to hold out long enough to fuck his brother. But the second time, he had to think of something horrible and when his ninth-grade biology teacher eating a handfull of maggots sprang to mind, he struggled to keep it up at all.

3. Sam is 99.9% sure he didn't use any powers at all when cutting Gordon's head off. Just rage and adrenalin. The only person who gets to bite Dean's neck is Sam.

In 100% agreement with #3. In canon, too. That was pure MINE. YOU NO TOUCH.

Love this meme!

Fox River Prison Blues - Sam. Still love this fic to pieces even though I've only seen one ep of Prison Break.

I was JUST replying to a comment with my Michael icon when you replied with this *g*

1. When Sam and Dean finally hit a motel after they escape, Sam feels so stupid for feeling guilty over what happened with Michael that he jerks off in the shower thinking about tracing every one of those tattoos with his tongue. Then he feels guilty about that and ends up begging Dean to fuck his throat until he chokes. That doesn't stop him pulling Dean's fingers up to play with Sam's nipples when Dean drops to his knees to return the favor though.

2. Sam hasn't thought about Fox River Prison or Michael in months and months when Dean pulls him into a tattoo parlor. Then he sees the first line shining black under Dean's skin and he gets so hard he can't breathe. He wants to see Michael's tatts on Dean's torso, wants to suck the ink out from under his skin, wants to fuck him while he's getting ink, and he ends up having to go outside to cool down.

3. Years later, long after Sam's saved Dean and they've both saved the world, and they've gone gray and they can't find parts for the Impala any more so they have to buy a house with a garage to keep her in, Sam sees a documentary on TV about siblings who live together as lovers, and he wonders if Michael and Lincoln are still together, and if they are as happy as Sam and Dean are.

Mmmm, yeah, nipple!kink FTW! Ink!kink FTW! Incestuous hot brothers FTW! I ADORE what you see Sam doing after this encounter. God, the tattoo comment is porn in itself. Guh. Er, everything seems to be FTW here so it's all good. *g*

I just... It's insane. The whole time I'm thinking I have a brain... why can't I use it? but I can't. honestly. It took me five days to get up the nerve to call them!

And now I just got the notification about my renter's insurance and I have to call them too!

*hugs*

Technology - can't live with it, would DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS without it! *grins*

Oh! Dean in the Stanford phonefic verse. *dances*

totally. *must have tv and internetz*

Dean:

1. When Sam told Dean he got into Stanford, Dean was so proud he thought he might burst, and he actually let himself imagine how it might be, with Sam hooking up with them over school holidays and Dean and John stopping to see him whenever they were close enough. Then Sam told their dad and John told him that if he left he could never come back and Dean realized he'd had it all wrong.

2. When Sam kissed Dean for the first time, angry and defiant, and then ran out of the house, Dean couldn't decide if it hadn't actually happened and he'd imagined the whole thing, or if it had always been inevitable. There was no middle ground. (the stanford fics are the same verse as the weechesters verse)

3. Dean changed lanes on Highway 5 seven times trying to decide if he was going to get off before exiting on the 505 cut-across to 80. Then when he got to 80 he almost headed East again, thinking that he couldn't go and see Sam after all. Once he'd committed to 80 though, he didn't change his mind again. Not about seeing Sam anyway. Talking to him he wasn't sure about until Sam turned up at the door.

Love the new layout! How about three things about Rupert??
 
posted by [identity profile] rivers-bend.livejournal.com at 04:42pm on 09/07/2008
You are the first English person not to laugh at me about Cat Deeley *g*

1. When Rupert was at school in Edinburgh he thought he'd better try sex with a girl, just to ensure he wasn't just a stereotypical public school boy rebelling against his father. He set his sights on the 19-year-old daughter of his housemaster. The lipstick she was wearing wasn't a problem--he'd snogged Marcus Williams after the panto so that was nothing new--and her breasts were interesting enough. Even the rest wasn't really all that bad. He just kept wishing she had a cock. So that was the end of that.

2. He secretly hated the horrible strawberry chair the moment he got it home, but he will never ever admit that to anyone.

3. sometimes Rupert gets tired of getting on his knees in public places and wishes he thought he could tolerate having someone to come home to.

Perfect answers, especially the one about the hideous chair. Thank you for these!

Oh you're so not an idiot, honey. Sometimes techie types get gratuitously into the jargon, and it is like listening to a foreign language!

Tell me three things (if you would like to) about Gordon Patrick's mother in your story Alden, MN. I am in the mood for some macabre fiction.
 
posted by [identity profile] rivers-bend.livejournal.com at 04:53pm on 09/07/2008
the thing is, I KNOW the jargon. until I get on the phone. Then I'm reduced to trying to explain what I mean *g*

oooh! interesting...

1. She was the school spelling champion four years in a row but her father didn't think it was appropriate for girls to compete so wouldn't let her go to county.

2. She used to go hunting with her older brother who taught her how to skin animals. He died in a hunting accident when she was ten.

3. She had a collection of squirrel and rabbit's feet that she'd taken from those hunting trips. None-the-less, it wasn't her idea to keep the hands, but her husband's. She never once doubted that she had found her soul mate.

Oh wow. *hushed awe*

Elegantly creepy!! You are brilliant! *hugs*

Thank you for the opportunity! I hadn't really ever thought about the parents, which is probably why the story isn't selling. I will have to revisit it now with this new information

*hugs*
 
posted by [identity profile] victorian-tweed.livejournal.com at 02:43am on 10/07/2008
It isn't selling? But it's a great read! hmph.

I love the idea of an expanded version though - especially with the new information.

I am so curious. Did she kill her brother, or was something inside her mind unlocked upon witnessing his death?

(Ignore me if I'm being annoying.)

You're totally not being annoying! and I have no idea. that was something I was wondering about myself. I'm hoping she'll tell me though.

Oooooooooooooh!! I'm full of anticipatory intrigue! May she whisper in your ear some time suitable. *hugs*
