So, apparently
Hang Time and
Two Faces Have I got themselves nominated at the
spn_oscars, which I find endlessly amusing. I'm choosing to blame
moment_of_sen because I'm fairly sure no-one else has even heard of this thing, let alone would nominate my crap, but it's giggleworthy nonetheless, and if anyone else was crazy enough to put my fics forward, you have my eternal gratitude. It's a very sweet sentiment, even if I'm not entirely certain they're my BEST (my Jensen/Sam and Jensen/Dean or my Jensen/Jared/Jeff 'verses are probably better written, really, even if they're not as well known).
My home internet is driving me motherfucking CRAZY, and if I ever meet Richard Branson, I'm gonna shove a ethernet cable up his ass - never thought I'd find an ISP who was better at clusterfucking than BT, but our Virgin connection goes off EVERY afternoon between about 2-5, and last night it then went off from midnight until about 4pm today continuously; I was seriously about to take a hammer to the goddamn thing. If I didn't have my iPhone that thankfully connects somehow through the magic of having O2 signal, even if there's not a a wifi point in range, I'd probably have hunted Mr. Branson down last night and taken a power drill to his 'nads. I'm biding my time...
Of course, we can't actually switch because we're planning on moving house soon, so there's no point hopping over to Sky and changing our phone/internet/digital all at once, so we're goddamn stuck, but I swear to god, any fellow Brits, if you're ever thinking of changing over to Virgin, DON'T DO IT. We phone them every damn week, seems like, and they still haven't figured out what the problem is or how to fix it, goddamn MORONS.
Ahem. /rant
And even though my net is working and being relatively fast now, it's still taken about a half hour to upload this highly wonderful Nickelback track that I wanted to share with y'all (LAST NIGHT ¬¬), because it makes me bawl like a goddamn baby. It's also the track from the Bones episode I like to call 'The One That Should've Been the Finale Because It Had an Amazing Cliffhanger Ending and Wasn't Such a Mindboggling Waste of Airtime'. Otherwise known as 'The Wannabe in the Weeds', which is admittedly more catchy.
ANYWAY, this song that the dead guy sang in the episode is fucking GORGEOUS, and made me bawl like a baby (as many things have been lately) when I heard it, mostly because it is ENTIRELY SAM/DEAN. And if I had any capability as a vidder, I'd totally do a post-No Rest For the Wicked songvid to it, because GUH. So everyone must download it immediately and bask in its wincesty goodness, and then pass it along to their vidder friends so someone can make me an angsty video to it. Shall even provide the lyrics, too, to illustrate my point. (Emphasis mine, 'cause, Y'KNOW.) :D
Far Away- NickelbackThis time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go.So great for our boys, non? And such a goddamn PRETTY song. I love when Nickelback does slow.
I'll upload Wish Upon a Star later, provided the upload speed is better than it is currently, because 45 minutes for a 6MB file is entirely ridiculous when it usually takes me the same amount of time to download a couple episodes of a show. Damn Virgin to meathookville!
Also, I downloaded Shelter a while ago from one of the flist uploads, but for some insane reason the bugger doesn't work - if anyone still has active links to their upload, I'd totally appreciate being pointed in that direction, since I know about twenty of my flisters uploaded it when everyone started jumping on the bandwagon, but it'd be like looking for a needle in a haystack if I tried going back to find it now, even if I could remember everyone who posted it.
Now to try and catch up on some of the amazing Big Bangs - I'm VERY behind, and considering there are still some from last year I never got around to finishing, I kinda have my work cut out for me. :/
Pee.esS: Thanks to my anon-mouse Jokerizer, I love the icon!
