Tradition being tradition, here's your annual (well, I think I didn't do it last year but whatever) lily of the valley. For those not in the know, it's a French tradition on May, 1st meant to bring you luck.



Never let it be said that I don't take good care of you, flist!

Today being bank holiday - May is ridden with them in France, it's so my favourite month after December :-) - I spent it entre filles, meaning with Mom, Sis and Goddaughter - goddaughter who's now sitting on her own and crawling on her hands and knees.

She also discovered that hands are amazing things to have attached to your arms because they do all kinds of stuff! She recently found out that when you move your fingers a certain way, you can wave at people - both hands! Then left hand only! Then right hand only! - and, my, how funny it is when people wave back! And it's also pretty cool when you use aforementioned hands to hand out stuff to people, especially when they say 'thank you, Chiara' in that funny voice and give the toys back; how could anyone resist playing that game as much as possible? Not her, that's for sure!

And I just love her smiles: there's the cute one and the gorgeous one and there's this one, pretty recent, which has to be the dorkiest smile that ever graced the face of a baby. She cracks me up whenever she uses it.

That was my day :-) And then I got home and watched SPN 4x20 and it made me happy because I was hoping for a great episode and it delivered. It was so great seeing the differences between Castiel!Misha and Jimmy!Misha! I love how distinctive their voices sound.

And omg! Castiel's line killed me dead when he came back! I can't help but hope that he's still on Dean's side - as much as he can, being an angel in the army of God, blah blah blah - and just trying to keep a low profile now. As much as he can being in the army of God etc.

The scene between Sam and Dean in the Impala was upsetting. It was also interesting to see how Sam actually sort of needed Dean to yell, take a swing, do something about him and the blood-drinking. Because, that's the way they do it, right? Sam lies and keeps secret, Dean finds out and gets angry, and they're back to square one. Seeing Dean reach his limits was unsettling.

And I'm unspoiled for the last two episodes - almost got spoiled by the file I had, btw, what with the 'SOON' at the end - so I don't know how it's gonna play out but that last scene! I just couldn't believe it! I mean, when Dean and Bobby made Sam enter I was like 'they're not going to do what I think they are doing, are they? Omg yes they are!'

I just cannot believe we're two episodes away from the end of the season! It's insane! And also scary because omg what has Kripke planned for us?! I mean the boys. I mean, everyone *vibrates in anticipation*

Oh and unrelated now, so I don't think I mentioned it but I have a dreamwidth account. I haven't talked about it because I'm not using it - I just like having accounts in case something happens, like, an evil overlord deciding to annihilate LJ - but because I know some people are dying to play over there, I thought that maybe someone would like some invite codes? I actually just realised I had invite codes. So if you want one, just ask. I have five, I think.

I bet Kripke enjoyed kripking about 50% of all Castiel fanfics out there... Especially those that deal with the "vessel".

When he came back and made like he didn't even care about Dean - I didn't see it coming at all. :O They just had to up the angsssst factor, didn't they?

I totally saw it coming when Bobby "invited" them into the shelter but didn't go in himself. That's standard "come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly" tactic! I first thought he was possessed or something though, and that he meant to trap both brothers inside, I didn't see the truth coming. :( Saaaaaaaaam! You let them fool you! Noo! They be detoxing mah Sam!

Kripke has enjoyed kripking the whole fandom from day one, so I'm sure he had a lot of fun with the Castiel fanficskripking with that particular episode *nodnod*

They just had to up the angsssst factor, didn't they?

As if we needed more angst, you know? Which, ok, maybe we do but that's not the point! Or yeah it is but still, Kripke, you genius bastard!

It's May, it's May! It'll be a few weeks yet until my lilies of the valley are in bloom.

Babies are just the most amazing people ever. My grandson just the other day figured out how to pull himself up to his feet while hanging on to mom, or a couch, whatever. He'd been trying for days and then all of a sudden, he figured out how to untangle the leg that kept getting twisted funny and...voila! I love it when they catch on to something and are totally impressed with themselves. :)

And, sugar, I need a prompt if you want Blair to get spanked for your B-day...you didn't think I forgot didja? I've just been less than inspired lately, so if you've got any suggestions, bring it on. *smooch*

Babies are just the most amazing people ever.

They really are. When talking about his son, Pete Wentz (member of Fall Out Boy) was saying 'every time he looks at his hand, it's like he's Columbus making it across the ocean' and that's so right!

Go, maaaaa's grandson, go! I know that each time I go to my sister's, I'm expecting my goddaugther to be walking now because she's always hanging on to everyone and everything nearby and she takes those little steps and I'm like 'I know you want to walk, do it, dudette, do it!' *bounces*

Lol You totally rock, mate :-) You might have noticed that my involvement in the TS fandom has taken a back seat - or whatever the phrase is - to put it midly, and so I've felt a bit detached from it all... but how could I resist my traditional bday spanking fic from you!

So, ok, Blair is turning 40, right? And let's say Jim and him have been together for ten years? What if Jim wanted to celebrate Blair's birthday and their anniversary by going to where they met for the first time - that is, not the hospital but Blair's former office at the university and giving him a good spanking over there? Like, re-enacting the scene of their first 'official' meeting only with a different outcome, in that instead of leaving, Jim would just have 'punished' Blair for being a liar who lies and then fuck him on his desk?

Something like that? Of course, the problem being that Blair isn't supposed to work there anymore but in ten years many things could have happened that would explain why there's nothing wrong with either of them going to the university for their little fun. Plus, it's a fic and what you say goes, right? And it's just for fun and a bday spanking so it's not an epic and so you could just, like, make it happen, anyway?

Or do something different lol Whatever you will come up will make me happy, you know that ;-)

*melts* Chiara sounds so cute! (when she figures out that she can actually grab glasses, hair and earings, that's going to be a fun too lol)

She totally is! Not that I'm biased or anything but SHE TOTALLY IS!

when she figures out that she can actually grab glasses, hair and earings, that's going to be a fun too

I'm already on the look out, I have to say because whenever she's in my arms I can see her looking at my necklace with quite an intense look, you know? Like 'wow, melikey what marraine has around her neck, I bet I could grab it. Real hard.' Et je suis toujours à lui dire 'comme ton arrière-grand-père nous disait toujours 'on touche avec les yeux', Chiara, alors pas touche au collier de marraine, ok ?'

A mon avis, ça fonctionnera pas trop-trop, m'enfin au moins j'essaie lol

Everyone seems to be going over to Dreamwidth, or at least promising to post in both places, but it's all I can do to keep up with my LJ flist. I don't even try on Facebook (have less than 10 friends, and really only one posts there, but she posts a lot). If anything, I need to get back to reading the IJ of a friend who departed LJ quite a while back. So, I'm just going to stay where I am, I think.

I'm not leaving either, that's for sure. And I don't plan on cross-posting either. I'm not one to believe that it's always greener in other pastures so I'm just fine where I am :-)

I love Castiel so much! Now I really want to know what happened to him.
And Jimmy's story was so interesting and moving!
But now I'm getting worried about Dean! At the end of the episode, it felt like he was just so tired of it all. I can't help but think there's going to be a huge confrontation between him and Sam, and I'm really not sure about Sam's reaction. He seems so far gone!

Date: 2009-05-09 10:42 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
I'm really curious about what happened to him too! 'He learnt his lesson', he said, how exactly? What was done to you, dude? *wants to know*

Yes, it was painful to see Dean like that. It's not even the first time he says he's 'tired' but it's the first time when it felt like he almost had nothing to give anymore...

I'm really not sure about Sam's reaction. He seems so far gone!

I know! The whole thing is just scary.

May is a wonderful month! Babies are wonderful and Chiara seems to be quite a cutie! Happy you! give her a kiss for me!
I'm not going to DW. I stopped getting accounts everywhere and DW doesn't seem to offer anything I don't already have. If LJ sinks, my unforgettable (lol) fics will sink with it!!

I'll most definitely give her a kiss for you, thanks on her behalf :-)

We're having so much fun with 'our' babies, aren't we?

DW doesn't seem to offer anything I don't already have.

That's pretty much my thought. I'm not one to believe that it's always greener in other pastures so LJ is it for me.

Je savais pas qu'on dit: Lily of the valley pour le muguet... Voilà grâce à toi j'ai appris un mot.
Et je vais peut-être apprendre ce que c'est DW parce que j'en ai aucune idée!
SPN était vraiment super, j'étais un peu répulsée par Sam quand il avait du sang partout, j'aurais jamais imaginé qu'il allaient l'enfermer. J'ai vraiment hâte de voir la suite, même si ça à l'air de pire en pire pour nos deux héros!

Comme quoi, on apprend des choses sur le LJ!

Dreamwidth studios (http://www.dreamwidth.org/) c'est comme LJ, c'est simple ;-) Ils ont utilisé les open sources du LJ donc quand tu vas là-bas, tu te crois ici - ça facilite les choses étant donné que l'environnement est familier.

Pour le reste, beaucoup de gens du fandom pense que DW est ze refuge parce qu'il est fait 'par des fans pour les fans', donc ils considèrent que les choses se passeront mieux là-bas étant donné que LJ est le diable incarné. C'est une histoire de point de vue, comme à peu près tout en ce bas monde :-)

Aww, thanks, hun!

And omg! Castiel's line killed me dead when he came back!

Me too, and I don't think Dean could believe it either. And I'm really not looking forward to the Sam/Dean confrontation...

You're very welcome, ma belle :-)

As I keep saying, they can't take Castiel from us! That would be too painful.
