A bit of a rant. Some squeeing.

I'm having problems with my internet connection and my computer. So if you don't see me around much, or not commenting on your posts, it's not I'm ignoring you, it's just that I can't. Hopefully things will be fixed soon. In the meantime, I'm printing stuff like crazy, you know, just in case the comp crashes, in which case I wouldn't be around at all :(

In other, happier, news, I've found my dream fic. At long last. Dream fic in the sense that I've been waiting so long for someone to write a good such fic. I waited and waited for it to happen to Orli/Elijah and Casey/Zeke. This type of fic is difficult to write, I think, without it coming out as cloyingly sweet or something.

With This Ring is just - right. It's well-written, it's funny and it's very believable, you can really hear the characters' voices in it. And it has all the stuff that characterize such fics - the ring, the preparation, the family squabble, the first dance squeeeeeeee! Plus there's an awesome manip that goes with the fic - the boys in tuxes!!

"Y'all know what comes next, right?" Chris says, and Jared's mind is racing. When he sees the deer-in-headlights look on Jensen's face, he knows it's the first dance. Shit. "Thought we weren't gonna do this," Jared mutters, and Jensen's jaw tightens as he nods. Chris laughs. "Can't get out of it, boys. Now here you go." He and Steve play through some song Jared can't remember even as he hears it, except that it's kinda slow and he feels everyone's eyes on him.

Yup, I love wedding-fics. I want more, and I wouldn't say no to an Orlijah or Zekasey!

I'll be watching the repeat for 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things' tonight. Oh God, I don't think Dean could look anymore beautiful than he already is but seeing him angstying and crying omg. Darn, it's hard wacthing SPN together with the kids and hubby, because you know, I just want to drool at the boys *g*

And oh yes, Dean said something about Cedar Rapids!

Have a good weekend everyone ♥
I'm going to miss you all like crazy if I have to send my computer to the repair shop.

*Pets your computer* Please don't die. Layne needs you.

LOL. Thanks, Willow! It's one thing to have a slow dial-up, but when the suppposedly super-fast broadband starts acting up, aarrggh :(

So far the computer is still behaving itself. It likes you!

*kicks your computer* Treat Layne better, you piece of crap! (That was my Dean imitation. It sucked, I know.)

Cedar Rapids? Are you squeeing because darling little Lij was born there? Or have I missed something?

Stop making me feel jealous abnout the fact that I cannot see season 2 yet!!!!!!! *glares*

*snogs*

*bats Dean's hands off* Get your hands off Layne's computer, you jerk! ( That was for Dean from Sam, yup, I'd rather have Sam fondling my laptop, thank you very much )

Yes! Cedar Rapids as in where the Prince of Iowa was born. Cool, isn't it?

You haven't started downloading S2 yet?

It's only episode 3 so far, it's absolute torture waiting one whole week for the next one.

*snogs you back*

I'm having problems with my internet connection and my computer

Augh, how frustrating! :(

That's a bummer about your computer, Layne! *fingers crossed it's nothing dire*

*touches computer tentatively*

Still alive, so far. It gave me a scare this morning when nothing happened after I switched it on. It sort of righted itself after that. Phew!

I hope you get your computer working again properly and soon.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you a wedding fic, I know how much you love them. I did write one once but it was full of HUGE angst and they got married for all the wrong reasons. You would have hated it!

[identity profile] layne67.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's alright, dearest Arabia. I myself have an aversion to wing!fics and robot!fics and really couldn't get the fascination people have with them. But wedding!fics and baby!fics, mpreg too nowadays, I really, really love them provided that they're well-written. Uhm, you haven't tried that 'Chicagoland' fic yet?

[identity profile] arabia764.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't had a chance to read it yet -- I can only read when the kids are at school and I'm off. It doesn't happen enough!

I have read a *really* good robot fic though, it's an Orlijah and stunning.

[identity profile] layne67.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Who wrote it? I'd love to read it. ( And I thought that I've real all of orlijahs! )

[identity profile] arabia764.livejournal.com 2007-06-25 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
This one hasn't been posted. I shall ask the writer if you can read it. I thought it was wonderful.

Thank you for the warning. It's terribly annoying when computers start to have a life of their own. :(
I really hope nothing will happen. *clings*

[identity profile] layne67.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so, too. LJ is like crack, one day without it and I'm having withdrawals already!

I wrote one where Stan and Stokes get married, and Zeke is forced to propose at the end when the Red Sox with the World Series. Lol. :D

[identity profile] layne67.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Zeke proposed to Casey? Where is it? I don't think I've read it yet. Was it a bet or something?

[identity profile] honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
It was my story, 'Invitations'. It's long and drawn out. :D Forst part is here, and the rest are in my memories, under 'My Faculty Fic Archive'. :)

Sorry about all troubles. I hope your computer is going to be ok!

Hope you're having a good weekend! *big hugs*

*sighs*

It's Monday morning here already. Where did the weekend go?

ION, my taxes are more or less completed. Got the hubby to help out. I'll be using the e-filing for the first time this year. And that's taking a huge chunk out my money. Darn taxes *growls*

Ach, I perfectly understand you, it's so frustrating when it happens! I hope your PC and internet problems will be fixed soon!

*lots of hugs*

Hee hee your icon is so cute! That's what I feel like doing too, whenever the comp/internet becomes erratic, stick out my tongue at it, or shake my fist!

*loves you*
