summer_skin: (Misc- (animal) I has a kitten)
Even though I'm not in SPN fandom anymore I obviously still hear what's going on. I'd have to live under a rock to not hear what went on this weekend and the resulting out pouring of sharing between people all around LJ as a result.

I'm not going to weigh in one way or another on what's been said or done or who's right and wrong because other people have said it far better than I ever could. I also can't comment on anything that has been shared or post anything personal because I have been unbelievably lucky throughout my 27 years to never be in a situation where I've felt or been threatened, assaulted or powerless so I feel very inadequate in understanding completely what many of you have gone through.

I just wanted to say thank you to the people who have shared their stories and who have been arguing and fighting through all of this to not only keep the reality of the situation on focus but for educating others, including myself, who I'm willing to bet did not previously realize that things they may have gone through in their lives were wrong and 100% not their fault. You're some of the smartest, strongest people I've ever known/heard of/read about and that everyone is standing up to protect their own is amazing. You're all the reason why this fandom is the smartest one I've ever been in.

01) I re-did my user info last night, FINALLY, since I changed my layout, too. I can't even remember how long I'd had the old one but I hated it. Check it out.

02) I've been friended by a glut of people in the past couple days (a GLUT, I tell you!). Welcome, enjoy. Hope you're not too bored, LOL.

03) I'm gonna make myself a damn quiche today. I've never made one. I've only eaten quiche like- twice in my life but for some reason I was sitting here on the computer and said- self, you're hungry. Make a quiche. So I will.

04) Gossip Girl finale tonight. Anyone else gunning for Serena and Chuck to get caught making out in a coat closet? Anyone? No? Just me? Okay, then.

05) I don't know who holds the damn egg timer for SPN fandom but I wish they'd get rid of it. 'Oh, we're on hiatus? DING! Fandom's done!' I already commented with my thoughts on the matter of this thing when it reared its ugly head around 3.09 here. This time I can't work up the energy or the concern to post anything more about it. As it is I'm going to re-evaluate my happy places in fandom over the summer and look at stressors, what inspires me to get involved and the people around me. That sounds more ominous than it really is, and a lot of this is left-over school panic stuff affecting me but I've already made some minor changes and I'm way happier with fandom since then. I'm going to do what I can to stay in love with this show, the characters and the parts of fandom I want around me.

06) My Big Bang posting date is June 25! I'm excited just to have the extra time to edit it. To be totally honest, I haven't looked at it since last Monday. I was planning on bearing down and working like mad over the next week. But now I have a whole MONTH to procrastinate.

Um... that's not a good thing to say, right? I'll start working on it, I swear. I have a sticky on my computer and everything!

I wrote out one post but I don't know if I want to post it. I'm tired and baffled by everything that's happened tonight.

If you think pretending to be someone's friend and then stabbing them in the back is a good thing, or stealing someone's community (past and present situations) is okay, defriend me.

I don't agree with anything [livejournal.com profile] ckll does, I don't like her or her tactics and I wouldn't be sad to see her leave fandom under her own will, but resorting to these measures doesn't make anyone any better than she is, no matter how justified they seem (and I CAN understand why it all went down as it did. I can't agree with it, though). I now understand why people view our fandom as batshit insane and why there are so many people scared to get involved with it.

I'm screening comments because I'm going to bed. If you want to bitch me out or bitch about the situation in general or if you have some points to bring up- anything, go ahead. I'd like to hear them. I'm upset and disappointed by the situation but I'm open for discussion about it.

Question!

Can anyone tell me what the schedule for new SPN eps looks like for the next month? New ep tonight, then repeat next week and for a couple weeks, then another new ep? I'm scared to go looking myself for fear of being spoiled.

Also, Katie Cassidy? Not the smartest move in the world on her part but I can understand why she lied. I'd probably be scared shitless if I were underaged, drinking and got pulled over by the cops, too. I don't think she did anything maliciously and it's not like she was driving/killed someone/ate a baby/etc. I'm also not sure how well I believe what her mother supposedly said. Doesn't make any of it right, but I can understand how/why it went down.

That doesn't excuse that she was doing something illegal (drinking underage) but in the grand scheme of things there are a lot worse things she COULD have been doing. I drank underage. A lot of you probably did/do. I don't really get why the drinking age is 21 in the States anyway. Up here it's 18/19, depending on province.

[ETA] Because people seem to be wondering about the connection- Katie dated Jesse McCartney who was on Summerland with Taylor Cole so I guess Katie and Taylor are friends, or something like it? Does anyone know if Katie was also on Summerland? Someone at [livejournal.com profile] ohnotheydidnt said she was.

I just don't want there to be wank. Please don't let there be wank?

All that being said, I got a good chunk of my media buy done last night! Woo!
