Her Life is a WIP

Had an appointment to the Assedic this morning - that place cracked me up. You go there and tell Mrs Agent you have an appointment. She directs you to an area of the big hall with chairs in front of a tv screen where you're asked to 'Look at the Video that Explains Everything You Need to Know About the Assedic System'. It's a stupid clip that says the same thing over and over and over again with a maddening background music that makes you want to kill someone. Then you're given a ticket with a number on it and asked to sit on another chair thirty centimeters from where you were. Then it's your turn and you go to this little office where you're asked lot of questions about your past jobs, then you're told that you'll have to contact another agency that will then contact Agency #1 back to let them know you were a good girl and did go and see Agency #2.

Oh and I'm now exactly like a parolee; by the end of the month, I need to contact my parole officer Agency #1 to let them know what's going on with my life. If I don't, the State Will Know and then they'll eradicate my file! And I won't have any money. Strangely enough, that's the one point I did remember in their video. My ANPE appointment is on Wed, btw; I can't wait! *is ded by sarcasm*

God, I NEED TO FIND A BLOODY JOB!

Then I went to see Hors de Prix in the afternoon with Sandra and I liked it well enough. Technically it's a comedy but I thought there was a lot of angst too and it was quite sad in some places. Thankfully it all ended well - as a romantic comedy should - and so it was nice. Mind you, the fact that I only paid 4.50€ for the ticket might have helped a little. You're usually more indulgent when you didn't have to pay full price.

Something amusing is that throughout the whole film, I couldn't help but think of how the story would make a great J2 AU story. I kept putting Jensen in Irène's place and Jared in Jean's. Dude, one of these days, I'll take that step and write a J2 fic. One that I'll post, I mean :-)

Anyway, I kept thinking of Jensen and Jared and it just made me smile. I'll admit it might have been because this morning I kinda swam in a sea of J2 AU thanks to janissa11's last post. I had to hunt down some fics to rec her and I couldn't not re-read some of them et voilà. Which also brings me nicely to the fact that we now have a Big Damn SPN RPS AU List thanks to her ♥ ♥

I know that some people who already have 100+ icon slots say they wouldn't know what to do with more icons but, man, I know what I'd do with more slots... use more icons! Which is my way of saying that this is a GIP. Look! The Mouse is using a Jared icon! No, this lj hasn't been hijacked by someone else, this is really me *waves Starbucks fidelity card to prove it's her*

It's all tya_rc's fault. See, she's been sharing a ton of Jared & Jensen interviews; individivual ones as well as Jsquared ones and so I've been catching up with a lot of clips I haven't seen so far. And the Jared... well, I already knew he was sexy and funny and all kinds of awesome but this time I really paid attention and after a while I thought to myself "self, isn't it a bit sad that you haven't a single Jared-on-his-own icon?" Which it was. A bit sad, I mean. So I went hunting et voilà.

Speaking of J² clips and stuff... does anyone remember the SPN Christmas thingie they did last year? Don't remember whether it was a commercial of some sort or a promo thingie or whatnot. All I know is that it was for Christmas and that there was snow and the boys... as Dean and Sam, I mean. Well, I think so. Dude, don't ask me why I haven't downloaded the clip and be done with it at the time, okay? But anyway, if someone knows what I'm talking about here? And do you know where I could find it? Or maybe I just should go over YouTube and spend all afternoon going through the Jared-Jensen clips. Wouldn't be so bad, if you ask me :-)

And to end this entry, since it's the season for sharing - 1. Two Christmas songs I've been listening to this morning: Olivia Olson - All I Want For Christmas Is You & Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen | YSI links and 2. One RPS rec. janissa11's super power AU RPS series - it's all kinds of brilliant. A bit edgy and angsty and sweet and always very well written. I'm hooked.

ETA: Oh, oh! aswanargent, I've just received your card and your pressie! The latter being under my Christmas tree, now. THANK YOU *hugs*

ETA2: Er okay, that card business? So my first batch has been sent last week and some of you are receiving them, but batch the second will arrive late. As in, they might not have been sent yet - they've been picked up and written but they're, like, still home *cough* I'm SORRY omg!
