Welcome to My New Friends!

[raeschae]

This is the post where I say WELCOME to my new friends. If you've lurked around here for any amount of time, you might find it hard to believe that I am a little shy when it comes to friending new people, but I have a hard time reaching out like that. I am really glad that y'all don't (or that you do a better job of getting over it than I do!).

I'm not all that comfortable talking about myself, but I thought I'd throw a couple of quick facts out as an introduction.



* I'm (almost) 31, a librarian, and live in Indiana.

* SPN is my only fandom at the moment, but I'm crazy into watching White collar (Matt Bomer owns my soul!) and Psych. Those are my summer happy places. For those to whom it matters, in regards to the show, I'm about as bi-bro as a girl can possibly get. I started out as a total Dean girl, but that has shifted and changed over time. Now I couldn't pick a brother if you paid me in cash and/or sexual favors.

* At this point, you'll only find RPF on my journal. Writing SPN fic intimidates me, quite frankly. I've been signing up for more exchanges and challenges lately, trying to expand my horizons and stretch my comfort zone a little bit. It's ridiculously easy for me to fall into a rut, to write what comes easy, but I am doing my damnedest to break out of that and tap into new creativity.

* I'm a music whore - I'll listen to just about anything. In the last week, I've been rocking out to The White Stripes, car-dancing to Lady Gaga, and mellowing out to Jeremy Camp.

* My faith is incredibly important to me, but you won't find much talk of it here. Everyone has their own thoughts and beliefs; I respect that.

* There is nothing in the world more fascinating/frustrating/precious to me than my family. I have one younger brother and one younger sister. My nieces and nephews - I have two of each - are everything to me.

* I've never really stated this explicitly, but concrit is always welcome here. Anonymously or otherwise, as long as you're respectful about it, I am open to anything that helps me grow as a writer. Along the same lines, any questions about characterization, plot, or stylistic choices are encouraged. I am happy to discuss anything with anyone. You can always e-mail me at raeschae @ gmail, too.

I think that's the basics, but if you have any other questions (whether you're a new friend or have been around for awhile), feel free to ask here! I'll answer anything.

Dean/Jensen's side is a very happy place. And we have cookies. You should really consider it :-D

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Hmm...cookies, huh? What kind of cookies? (I'm kind of easy when there are cookies involved.)

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

Al kinds! Take your pick :-D

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Snickerdoodles could sway me. I mean, I love my Sam/Jared, but snickerdoodles are GOOD.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

Snickerdoodles it is! We're happy to have you :-D

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I should be embarrassed at just how easy I really am.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

We love that about our girls ;-)

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Tell you what. You get Jensen on my doorstep and I'll toss Jared to the side in a split second. And vice-versa. :D

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Can Jensen bring me the cookies? That might be more convincing!

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

He might even bring you a twinkie!

I JUST MADE IT DIRTY.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU!!!

(I will NOT make any cream-filled jokes. That's just tasteless.)

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

HAHA.

Dude, if Jensen was still 19, twinkie jokes would have like, triple-innuendo!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Right?

He really was the twinkiest twink to ever put on a pair of brick-patterned pants.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THOSE BRICK PANTS!

For my schmoop_bingo card I have secret admirer and I had thought of having Jared leave a note about them. BUT THEN I DIDN'T.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Ha! You totally should! Though, in my mind, that note would be totally sarcastic and mocking.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

TOO LATE. My brain has already gotten on that train.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

And now I want fic that starts with twinkies and ridiculous innuendo and ends with naked sexy times. Awesome.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

HAH I was supposed to make 'ballhandling' jokes in my soccer porn and totally forgot to!!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

That icon cracks me up every time I see it!

And it's alright that you forgot - I totally made it in my own head when I read that last one!!

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

It's cute how you think I'd give Jensen up.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

:( Would you at least share?

I'd be okay with photos and/or video, too!

I'd ask for some of his clothes but that seems weirder than asking for nudes. MY FUCKED UP LOGIC.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

I could probably give up a black tee. He seems to have a lot of those. And even if he doesn't, going shirtless is even better for me :-D

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

What about his leather jacket?

I'm laughing at myself as I type this because I know you'll be going, "IN YOUR DREAMS BITCH". Woe. :(

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

To be fair it was more like BEYOOOOOOTCH!

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

FINE, BE THAT WAY.

To deal with the trauma, I demand bigheaded CW stars as the Wizard of Oz cast. If you want. I can't be demanding. :(
