--> What love most of all about Twilight posts over at ohnotheydidnt was that in EVERY SINGLE POST there's someone asking, "What's this Twilight about? Is it any good? Should I read/watch it?" Oh, people. OH PEOPLE.

--> I think I really enjoy con reports and the excitement of people attending when Jared and Jensen AREN'T involved. Truth be told, I don't really read the con reports when Jared or Jensen are at them. The pictures and snippets are posted by SO MANY PEOPLE that by the end of the weekend they're leaking out of my head. I'm much more excited to hear about the Katie and Lauren stuff and see the pictures. :D

--> For mother's day I sent my mom cat butt magnets. She waited until I was on the phone a couple days ago to open her package so when she opened them she was like- Oh, hey. Cat butts. What do I do with them? And I went, "They're MAGNETS." And then she burst out laughing.

No one gets our family.

--> I got the job at the paper, which is why I was so damn tired last week. It'll be okay, I think, and I'm catching on fast but my supervisor is a little inadequate (he's only been in the position for a week himself due to department shake-ups) so he's learning his position as I'm learning mine. There might be some over-time involved, which would be fine if it'd been set out to me from the beginning, but whatever, I'll get over it. Again, he's just settling in, too. I still don't know how much I'm getting paid, LOL. I might regret this.

I get benefits and life insurance with a beneficiary and union dues and EVERYTHING. I'm like- a GROWN UP now. I'm scared.

--> I've been a downloading machine for the past few days. I'm finding episodes and movies and lots of music I wouldn't normally dl to put on my ipod. We'll see how enthusiastic I am about going to all the trouble in a few weeks.

--> I HAVE to start editing my Big Bang soon. I don't know if it's only as bad as I think it is in my head or if it's really, truly a mess. Betas! You have to be blunt with me! Tell me if it sucks hardcore! I should check and see what comments have been left on it, I suppose... OY.

the_lj_herald just posted an entry saying that LJ is slow and it might be attributed to Heath Ledger's death (what? You didn't know?). I think that's a pretty strong leap. And while I feel bad it happened and for his family, etc, I'm not broken up over it. *shrugs* People die.

In other news that directly affects my RL there's this job I'm thinking of applying for in TO. It's with a gay and lesbian publication but it's been on Monster for over a month now so I doubt it's still open. I'm going to email the contact and see what's what, see if there's anything else available in the same area or if they hire summer students or something. That could turn into something just as good. I'm kind of nervous, though, because I still have two months of this course left (we were told that if we get a job early they could arrange for us to be done in March) so I don't want to be like- the person they've been looking for only to be told that they can't take me because of this stupid programme.

I made my 800th SPN icon last night. Fun times. I think I might post some later.
