So, hey, that's it, they changed the new profile page, didn't they? I don't hate it - though I just wish they'd let all the info at the bottom of the page. I honestly don't care to know how many entries I wrote and when I last updated and how many comments I sent and received. And I don't really understand why everyone else would be interested to know that. I think it just looks clustered.

But apart from that, I'm okay with it. Besides, it's not as if I 'lived' on my profile page, anyway. And the only times I visit one is when I want to friend someone and I'm usually only interested in what their entries have to say, I don't care about what appears on their profile page, so.

Changing the subject to something more interesting - at least, I think it is: the new SPN.

I don't even know how it's possible for a new season to reach that level of rockness. I'm more in love with SPN than ever. And since I love loving stuff, this is definitely making me a very, very happy fangirl :-) Oh, SPN, never change! Unless you want to get even better, if that's even possible ♥ ♥

Absolutely adored every single Sam-Dean scene in that ep. That is, I usually do, by default, but sometimes I'll get into them even more. This was definitely one of those times.

I'm not even sure I could pick a favourite... one the one hand, I'd run with the angstier ones, on the other, the funny ones were so very brilliant too. So let's cheat and say that my favourites are:

1.The teddy bear scene - which made me laugh my ass off and at the same time, man, how sad was that? And Sam is evil! He wants to both shoot and burn a teddy bear omg! Also, lollilop disease! *cracks up*

2. The scene after Sam wakes Dean him up in their motel room.

3. The scene in the Impala with Wesley; the way Sam and Dean are trying to justify their "miserableness" was priceless. "We're miserable! We never get what we want" - it's so true, too! "People are people because they're miserable bastards" That one in particular is just awesome - I need to look for the icon that goes with it now *nods*

4. The last scene, of course! I'd seen couple of comments - lj cuts are always so difficult to use, right? - and was expecting to be disappointed about the whole Dean-remembers-Hell-and-doesn't-even-seem-to-be-that-traumatised, because honestly that's one of the main things I've been waiting for in that season, the whole hell induced trauma, but turns out it wasn't as anti-climatic as I was led to believe when reading those spoilers.


Leaving the blockquote : I mean, it's obvious Dean isn't coping that well. And don't believe I wouldn't love to have a severely, curled up in a ball, screaming, damaged!Dean, but I'll take what I can so the nightmares and the drinking and the not being able to ever forget and the no words to express how it was and the loneliness will do. Also, who's to say Dean remembers everything? I mean, how would he remember something he forgot, if it makes sense? And it's not as if we'd heard the last of it, is it? So I'll wait and see if something else comes out of it. More nightmares is always of the good :-)

Also, Dean pulled a Sam, did you see? "You wouldn't understand" How many times did Sam throw that line in his face?

Oh and there's another scene I love, the one at the wishing well. I ached for Sam here, with his "I'm not the same guy". It's something we all know but hearing him say it always hurts. And his wish definitely showed the darker side of him. To my delight. "Lilith's head on a plate. Bloody" with that feral little look of his. Oh, yeah, Sammy's wish isn't for the faint of hearts!

And I definitely adored all the Dean scenes and Sam scenes, separately, I mean. I always say JA has the best facial expressions and deliveries but JP was just fantastic too - I rewound the whole Teddy Bear scene several times and was smitten with his "should we... are we gonna kill that damn bear?" and his answer to Dean's question about how to do that "both?" - I don't know, sometimes just one word deliveries make me insanely happy. It's the way it's done :-)

Now, I'd better skedaddle if I don't want to be late to my little rendez-vous: Starbucks + shopping = not a bad program for a Saturday :-) And tomorrow is Quantum of Solace. I love me some awesome weekends \o/

Between you and me, I don't think it's even possible for a change on LJ to occur without an uproar to go with it. There're too many people in here, LJ can't satisfy everyone.

Even the tiniest change will provoque chaos, that's just how we are ;-)

Me, I'd like LJ to stop 'fixing' things that aren't broken in the first place. The user page was nice enough as it was - though I'm sure someone else could tell me it wasn't and they were waiting for a change - but there are things that could need some improving elsewhere.

I, myself, would love it if we could convert our alloted storage space - like I could use the space I'm not using and add more icons. Stuff like that. That would be awesome.

Too true. There are lots of features I don't even use on LJ. I honestly don't understand the function of memories. I am sure I could research, but really don't seem to find the time.

I do love the track feature. The only thing I would LOVE if LJ would send the full text of the post when they send me email that someone I am tracking has posted. How much trouble would it be for them to send me the entire post?? That feature would work awesomely for those who cannot log into LJ while at work, but CAN log into their internet email account.

Yes. Never enough icons. I am actually needing to add new ones *cough Merlin* and I should weed, but I likes my icons.

Oh 'memories', that's what I used before I got tags for myself and del.icio.us for those entries written by others I want to keep somewhere safe. I haven't been using the memories section for aaaaages. It's pretty much dead by now.

Hey, we should start an LJ Wishlist *nods*

Do you remember, back in the day, when we had three icons? I swear I get claustrophobic just thinking of that time lol I just never have enough icon slots; especially as I fall in love with new shows/bands/whatever pretty much all the time.
