From [info]annella: "Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you."

My words : Kris, J2, new house, Georgia, Sydney )

I keep meaning to make a post with actual content but I'm just that crap...

Sometimes my job is absolutely the worst thing in my life and I hate that I have to sit at my desk trying not to cry when all I want to do is go home but I can't because, as usual, I'm the only one here.

It's times like these I wish my friends list was a hundred times longer, so posts like this could actually mean something.

If you only read on big-bang this year make it With You Under A Cold, Bright Sky by [info]arabia764.

This fic is epic. It's J2 Au so maybe not everyone's cup of tea but put that aside and read it as original fiction. It is just that good. Heartbreaking and up lifting. It follows the story of young Jensen, a trapeze artist and Jared who is a champion gymnast. The meet at an elite sports camp and the rest, as the say, is history. But oh what a trip to get there. Both boys literally have the world at their feet, a go anywhere pass on talent and hard work and a little bit of luck, What happens when that all changes and they have to let go of everything they'd every dreamed of, including each other. Read and find out, you won't regret it.

Do not let the word count deter you at approx. 120,000 you'll be reading all day. But by the end you'll be wishing there was more.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes from yesterday. I'm generally not a big shouter outer of my birthday and most years it passes by with few people noticing. There's a movement at my work to undermine this and each year more and more people are informed of my birthday and appear at my office door with good wishes. I think I'm kind of starting to like it.

My parents are away on the trip of their life (6 weeks in Europe and America) and visiting with my youngest sister. My eldest sister lives out of state and the other I see most days (with helping look after Georgia, at the moment) so I was just going to not bother this year. Kris took me out for dinner Sat night, with Georgia, and I kind of thought that was it. Then Sunday she took me shopping for presents :D and last night bought Thai for dinner so I didn't have to cook <3. I spoke with Mum and Sarah on Sunday night and I wasn't really expecting much else on the day. My Auntie and Nana both called at work and then I got a text from my parents last night. Considering my Mum is kind of, actually a lot, technologically challenged this was really special.

So to make a short story even longer, I was so happy to get your messages, vgifts and even a gif and a lj tag.

The honour roll (I hope I remembered/saw everyone)

Bad coffee when you REALLY, REALLY need it so you drink it anyway *GAAAG*

Students queuing up outside my office when I arrive at 8:30 when I open at 9 *grrr* (what happened to sleeping until the last minute and stumbling into class in your pyjamas?)

People on the train who think my legs look like a bag rest!! *HATES*

This post is brought to you by sleepless nights and my sinus infection, carry on.

(I need more emotive type icons, basically I need more icons.)

Because I'm meant to be working here is my report from Sunday.

Day started with photos and Misha was up first. We had a special request for him for one of the pics and he was really gracious and totally played along with us, even taking things to the cheeky side (I can't reveal too much of what happened just yet). So we're standing next to him ready for our photo and the photographer disappears for about 3 minutes so we just start chatting with him, he asked us about the cocktail party and if we had fun and just being awesomely gorgeous. Photographer comes back and he takes our photos, in the 2nd he pulls us in close on either side of him and we got a great smile as we left.

We got told to keep the talking to a minimum by one of the HUB people and when we told her it was because the photographer disappeared, she apologised and waved us on.

Jensen was next and was sitting in a chair with his arms crossed, he gave us a smile and said hi. For the 2nd pic we switched sides and the photographer said she was getting glare off Kris' ([info]froxyn) glasses so she said she would just take them off. The following ensued;
Jensen:"now that's an original idea"
Kris: "You're a smart ass"
Jensen: "You know me well"
Kris:"All Americans are"
Jensen: "You'd know"

We're all started laughing so we have great smiles in the pic.

Jared was next and he was also sitting, we were told it was because he's so tall the curtain rail would show in our pics. I didn't mind so much. I asked if he'd mind me touching his back and he said "go for it". So I did. We also swapped places and he commented about change being a good thing. He was friendly and smiley but we didn't have any time to chat as they were pushing things through fast, even though we were first through (retribution for us getting to talk to Misha for so long, I'm sure).

Misha's panel was next and I'm pretty sure everyone has read heaps of reports on it already and I can't really think of anything new to add. He's just really funny and you can tell he genuinely loves the show and working with the boys, I love how he mentioned the way they set such a friendly tone on the set. That they're welcoming and for being so young and be the leads they're not a couple of dickheads (my words I forgot his). Though I really need to mention the nuts as a mountain range comment Misha made about his Nip/Tuck ep, because TOO funny. Also, he handed the fantail bag to the crowd and told us to pass it around.

After Misha was more autographs. Misha completed our earlier scheme and was completely awesome about it. I had Jensen sign my DVD's and Danneel smiled and waved at me and Kris and Jensen continued their Americans unite football bonding thing.

Jared was smiling at us from his corner but as with the photos we were really pushed through fast and there wasn't much time for more than "Hi, sign here please".

Last year I had so much fun in the auto line, You got to have a talk with them and it's where I got most of my good pics, that aside I still had an awesome time.

Next up was the afternoon tea, they basically closed off a section of a corridor for it. They set up stools for the guys to sit on because they were feeling pretty tired. Basically we queued up in front of them and had a chance to chat. We got to Jensen first and there were about 4 of us. He talked about home being LA as opposed to Texas, but that because his family and friends were still there he went back as often as he could. He'd love to own a cabin in the woods and have land, "That's the dream, right?" he asked us.

Misha was next and first thing he did was touch Kris' ear, turn to me and say "I can't fit my finger through, they're not big enough. By next time I want to fit at least my hand through them". Kris asked him what Mark Harmon was like and he said he was awesome and really friendly and that he has an amazing trailer (an airstream, which is good apparently) and we talked about trailer parks and caravans. He's so easy to talk to with and I had so much fun with it that I can't remember half of the conversation. I asked about how Castiel would cope with technology and how funny it would be if his host was wearing a pager and Castiel got all panicky about buzzing. The final recommendation was to ask Eric to give him an iphone so he can twitter to god about earth, Misha thinks the possibilities are endless and he's so obviously excited about season 5. He's been asked to sign for 17 episodes, so he gets paid for that many even if they don't use him which he also very happy about.

Finally we get to talk to Jared, TWICE (after the we'd spoken to all the boys we went and sat down again and then the handlers said since everyone had chatted and they'd be leaving soon we could go up to them again if we wanted. I went to Jared, Kris went to Misha, then back to Jared, Jensen was still pretty crowded). I could just see the white print on Jared's black t-shirt under his button down and I asked him about it and it was for the charity he's endorsing A Dog's Life Rescue. (He pulled his shirt apart a la superman to let us see) He was telling us about Mika and how he used to fall over all the time before he got his nifty chair. Then he geeked out over his babies for a bit. He's just so cute when he talks about his dogs.
It was really hot where he was sitting and he was sweating heaps. He stood up and joked it there was a sauna we could move the meet too. Eventually they opened up the space a bit and he was happier, but he was really uncomfortable and very worried about stinking us up, we said we wouldn't mind so much and he started laughing.
He told us about getting up early to go to the gym to help with his hangoverjet lag. I called him a gym junkie and he just winked at me.

There was this one girl hanging real close to him who kept kind of begging for a hug, it was kind of annoying and I think a bit embarrassing for Jared. Eventually his handler had to ask her to move away. Then she went and hung around his friend Jordan, who is traveling with him.

In the second chat he was eating a muffin and when he moved he dropped it on the floor and one of the women grabbed it up before he could get it and offered to throw it away for him. He looked shocked and said since it was all wrapped up in the paper and hadn't touched the floor he'd finish it and that he hated wasting food before chuckling. I'm not sure if he was more worried about the waste or what she would do with it *LOL* I got to watch him eat cake and then lick the icing from the paper OMG!!!

He talked about favourite foods, Thai is high on his list and he has a "usual" at Gotham steak house. Steak (duh), mashed potatoes and green beans and the tuna. We talked about Aussie beer verses American, he was confused over our light beer being alcohol light when in US it means calorie light. We told him about Pure Blonde and he got really confused saying "What blonde?" Eventually Kris said "puur blonde" and he got it, before cracking up about our weird accents. He hates vegemite and mimed vomiting every time it was mentioned, so it was A LOT, by me :). Refuses to lay claim to cheese in a can but loves good cheese and peanut butter. He hates tequila, with reason! Loves scotch and bundy rum, beer and red wine. He was so amazingly friendly and chatty really happy to talk and have a laugh. He got rushed off before the other two because his panel was next.

Misha and Jensen left not long after.

Back in just in time for Jared's panel. He is so amazingly hyper. Bouncing and spinning on the chair. Again, nothing much new or different to add from other reports. A few people have mentioned him saying "Meesha" but he also kept muttering about "Saved you from perdition", or something in his Meesha voice and he's really not happy about having to share the "force" hand with Castiel. They gave him a new bag of fantales which he ripped open and spilled every where.

Jensen was much more relaxed from the beginning this time and was joking right from the start. Someone asked him to sing and dance and he asked for volunteers from the audience. "What, no one?" he snarked and sat back down. Adjusting himself and saying "So inappropriate" definitely a highlight. He continued the trend of calling people on bad questions, which was awesome.

Jared pretty much exploded back on stage and as there was no chair he sat on the lectern, I was so convinced it would break then when they gave him his chair he asked if there was anything on wheels!! He was told NO.

Everyone kept asking Jensen questions which Jared hissed at and then would answer for him, Jensen did not seem to mind. One girl even told Jared not to complain that her question was for Jensen WT*? SO RUDE.

Final highlights of the day; surprise Misha and THAT question, Misha bending Jared over, disbelief Jensen with his head in his hands, boy touching/gazing and the Jim Beaver message.

I am exhausted and would like to sleep for a week. I had an amazing time, the guys are so incredibly awesome. Yes there were some organisational issues. I HATED the no touching rules and that we couldn't take private photos at the cocktail party or afternoon tea (even though it was kind if intimated at one point we could, if we asked permission), but I understand why not and if I had the chance to do it again, "HELL YES"

This is more so I don't forget stuff...

Day was long and awesome.

Misha is SO funny. May not be a Castiel fan but I luf Misha. He was funny and engaging and joking with the fans "maybe I should stalk a fan, how much fun would that be. Write crazy emails, find out where they live and go there to take pictures" (paraphrased and from my memory) Also slightly obsessed with ponys.

Autographs were a bit haphazard and we kind of felt a bit rushed through. Jensen was very business like but sweet and smiled when I gave him the photo to sign.

Jared a bit more friendly. Gave him a letter from Georgia and he read it right then and seemed really touched by it.

Misha was really cool, I was the only one there and had about 2 minutes to chat to him, before Kris ([info]froxyn) got there, and he was asking about where I was from and the University and how much he was loving Sydney.

Jared's panel was funny. He's such a clown, spinning on his chair and chewing up fantales and getting them stuck in his teeth. It was so cute how he kept turning his back to us to pick the caramel out of his teeth. He was so funny at the t-shirt auction, putting it on and then drawing on it upside down. His pic was so funny.

Jensen is so snarky and sarcastic. Took him a while to get the feel of the crowd but once he did he was so relaxed and just taking the mick out of the questions and his answers. He's is so funny, but in a totally different way from Jared. Can not wait to see them together tomorrow.

Cocktail party was WAY more than I ever expected it to be and was totally worth every cent we spent on this convention. We got there about 8:20 and the room was packed, I mean wall to wall squeeze your way to the bar full. Kris, [info]annella and I were all worried the boys would be totally mobbed if they showed up. Just before 9 I saw a guy at the door and thought it was Misha and got [info]annella all excited. Turned out not to be him, but about 15 minutes later Jensen appeared st the door, followed by the other two (guy I thought was Misha turned out to be Jared's handler so my spidey senses were correct to ping).

Misha made his way to us first and he was so fun [info]annella had a space cleared next to her on the stage that we got him to sit at. He commented on Kris' earrings (she has 1/2" tunnels in them) and I told him off for encouraging her, as they are not to get bigger. He looked at me like I was a meanie, boo. He was really gracious and so happy to be here. I think he's really getting a kick out of the convention thing and has a healthy skepticism about the whole thing.

Jensen was so close we could almost taste him, but the tide took him away from us. [info]annella was super awesome chick and went to his handler and asked him if Jensen could come by us next, and he did. He was so cool. I asked him if the "D" on his cap stood for dude and he gave me a "are you kidding look" so I asked "Dallas Cowboys?" and he gave me a massive grin. Then him and Kris kind of went off on a whole Buffalo Bills vs Cowboys thing. We chatted about Dallas and Texas and how much he loved Sydney and how similar Aussies and Texans are and I put my fist forward and he pulled his hand out of his pocket and totally shazamed me OMG Jensen fist touched me (I almost wrote fisted).

Jared was still ALLLLLL the WAAAAY over the other side of the room so super awesome chick (aka [info]annella went and asked his handler and he said he was on his way out and then told us to hang out by the door if we wanted to speak to him. He walked by us and we managed to say hi and to get a hey back. I told him I was glad we rated higher than the football this year and he gave me a little chuckle and then security dragged him out the door. I was about to go back in when this girl kind of walked right by me and I asked [info]annella if it was Danneel and she looked up at me and smiled. She was so nice and was chatting to us and complimented my necklace and we asked her how she was enjoying Sydney and she talked abut getting out of the city and wanting to go to the Hunter so we had a chat about wine and she actually wanted to talk to me, and I was so fangirling her and then Jensen came past and they were all "hi babe" and smiling and it was so cute and then she had to go and she was so nice and said bye and thanks for talking to her and I was so impressed by her because I really didn't know much about her and I didn't really like her character in Ten Inch Hero but I just really liked her and she's so pretty and seemed so lovely.
