I've got no strategy or specific purpose for this post other than to jump right into the water and start posting. (hence the rambley-ness)

Let's get started then, shall we?

I went to Comic Con this past weekend.  Woo hoo!  I only had a pass for Sunday, but I went down Saturday morning anyway just to hang out with friends and get settled in.  We were all there to see the Supernatural stuff (all conveniently scheduled for Sunday) so one of us (the lovely

My baseball game date was ultimately kind of a dud.  He was an oddly juvenile guy.  He said he never watched R rated movies because they were too violent.  (What is he?  12?)  I can definitely appreciate making violence one of the factors you use to choose a movie or not, but the MPAA ratings are hardly the way the go with that.  Then he went on to clarify that he watched PG, PG13 and X, but not R.  Really, dude?  That's what you're gonna tell me on the FIRST frickin' date??  The conversation then turned to deep metaphysical topics like The Secret (!) and the fact that he believes in ghosts because of the scientific evidence.  hmmm.  There was also some chatter about how "reality is nothing but intention".  I zoned out at this point because I realized that I had just missed seeing a double play because I was trying to decipher this gobbledygook.  Annnyway, we're not a match made in heaven....

I went to a speed dating thingamabob last week.  Matched with a couple of guys so we'll see how that goes.

I'm going to see Wanted on Sunday.  yay!  \o/

Okay, that's enough rambling for now.

- I have a blind date tonight. We're going to the Dodger game. I enjoy going to the ball park, watching games, drinking beer, but I have to admit that I enjoy the "event' of it more than the "game" of it.  Sooo, I was hoping to get some quick info so I don't come off as a completely clueless idjit.  

How are the Dodgers doing?
Who's ahead in the standings?
Has anything remarkable happened in the last little while that I should know about?

-In other news, I single-handedly replaced the fill valve on my toilet the other day.  Woo hoo!  I am not on the best of terms with home improvements and repairs.  The relationship usually starts off well enough, but falls apart very quickly, with a lot of swearing and phone calls to my dad.  I often take a break somewhere in the middle to eat ice cream and play on the internet.  Eventually though I get back at it and beat the thing into submission.  

- I'm headed to Cincinnati next week for work and I'm actually pretty excited about it.  I lived in Beavercreek, OH (near Xenia) when I was a kid and I might rent a car and take a drive up there to see the sights.

Hi friends! Sorry I almost never post.  I still haven't gotten into the groove of this yet.  I mean things happen in my life, I'm not sitting immobilized on a log, yet nothing seems like much of anything anyone would want to hear about... Plus my friend list is a mix of 1) people I know somewhat well and expect to get to know better, 2) people I've met in person 2x at most, and 3) people I've never met at all.  

I realize that this scenario is probably true of most people and somehow they manage to post things, and I enjoy reading those posts, so I should consider just getting over it and posting anyway.   hmmm.  I'll have to let this percolate.

In the meantime, I'm trying to locate some SPN fiction that I know I read here on LJ.  I think there's a community that can help, but I can't locate them either!!!  GRR.  (Does anyone else find LJ's search functionality excessively awkward and fairly useless?).  The stories I'm looking for are set in the future.  Sam is married to Sarah from "Provenance" and Dean is married to Ava (who isn't dead).  They each have a few kids.   Sound familiar to anyone, or can someone point me to the storyfinder people?
