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.

My comment on your comm is basically what I want ;D

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

WAY TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS GOSH.

Okay, lol, I'll get back to it next week :-D

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Dude I'm not the one with Jensen gagged in my room. DEAL WITH IT.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

HE IS NOT GAGGED. HE IS SLEEPING SOUNDLY, MURMURING SWEET NOTHINGS.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

You keep telling yourself that.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, truth be told, I'm keeping him here until Chicon since he has failed to sign up yet.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he neglected to sign up for Chicon BECAUSE he's currently bound in your room?

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure your logic is going to be appreciated here.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

You're probably right.

OKAY, HE DIDN'T SIGN UP BECAUSE HIS PEN RAN OUT OF INK. AND HIS ONLY OTHER PEEN WAS MESSY.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

:( Aw. That second E is supposed to be striked out but it's hard to tell! My wit has been killed.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

WELL NO. It was declared he wasn't going so then I had to get into action!

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

And you mean action in the most literal sense, don't you?

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

YES. I figured he'd like a gal with a plan.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Can I at least have Danneel while you're molesting her husband?

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I have nothing to add to this conversation. I just wanted to use this icon.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

I ACCEPT YOUR USE OF THAT ICON.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

:D

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

HAHAH AND PEOPLE SAY I'M NOT PICKY.

Gladly shall I send her over.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Can you make sure she's got boobs, though? I mean not that I don't dig the swan body, but...

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

What? You don't like her curves here?

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

No, really all it does is make me crave chicken. Even though it's not a chicken body.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

And yet all your mention of chicken is doing is making me think of breasts. This discussion is very cyclical.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Breasts are my favourite choice of white meat.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm chicken.

[transfixeddream.livejournal.com]

Dean looks like he's about to go off. MAYBE HE IS.
