From ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dapatty : Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, write 12 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal. Give out letters to those who comment in return.The letter "T" in no particular order: 1. Travel - Cruises, islands, national parks, mountains - there's nothing I love better than visiting other places. 2. Theme Parks - I love roller coasters, waterparks, and theme park shopping. 3. Tequila - Raspberry Margaritas. 'Nough said. 4. Tomatos - more specifically, sundried tomatoes. I love them in dressings, pasta dishes, cream cheese, pretty much anything. 5. Trombone - I love listening to my son play his trombone, and I was so glad he chose that instrument to play in the school band. 6. Therapeutic Massage - We have a great spa at a resort about an hour away, and they give the BEST massages. If I could afford it, I would visit every month. 7. Television - Supernatural, Leverage, Castle, The Closer, Burn Notice, Torchwood, HIMYM, and many more. 8. The Wheel of Time - a fantasy series of books by Robert Jordan, who sadly died last year, but the remainder of his books are coming out over the next two years, beginning this November. 9. Top Quality Bed Linens - Silk sheets, people. SILK. 10. Tenders Sub - the Chicken Tenders sub sandwich at my Publix grocery store: hot fried chicken tenders, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, black olives, oil & vinegar, salt & pepper, on fresh baked rolls. YUM. 11. The Food Network - I'm hooked on the Challenge shows. 12. Taking my son to restaurants - it's always been just me and my son since he was born, so we out more than most people. We love going out to eat, doesn't matter if it's Sonny's BBQ, Chili's, Red Lobster, or somewhere fancy, we always have a good time. Tags: meme

My cat Spike is sick. He spent Monday hiding in the linen closet corner, with no eating, drinking, or bathroom breaks, and the same for Monday night. Tuesday morning I called the vet to make an appointment and they had me bring him on in and drop him off. Turns out he was running a 105 fever, which is high for cats. They gave him an anti inflammatory shot to bring it down, started him on antibiotics and sent out bloodwork, then let me bring him home last night. Today, he's not much better, has only had a swallow or two of water, and again, no bathroom breaks. The bloodwork came back, and all of his organs, including kidneys and bladder, are fine and there's no sign of infection or diabetes, so they think it is some kind of virus. If he is the same tomorrow, I will have to take him back in so they can get some fluids in him, check his fever, and hope he can fight off whatever is going on. The vet suggested today that I try a little tuna in water to entice him, but when I brought the bowl over to him and he smelled it, he kind of whimpered, tossed his head around, and left the spot to get away from it. It was extremely depressing, he would normally go crazy over a lick of tuna. The worst thing is that my son is off at music camp and won't be back until Saturday, and I live in fear of him coming home to a house that is minus one cat and having to explain it to him. It would be devastating to him. When he was six, we went to the Humane Society to look for a cat, and he felt something pat his head. He turned around to find the paw of this beautiful little Maine coon kitten reaching out from the cage above, and he picked him out right then and there. Spike is now six years old himself, and 19 pounds, with huge paws and the most gorgeous striped fur. We have a second, younger cat, Dru, who we also love, but Spike is so special to us, and I hate to see him feeling so bad. We almost lost him once before, to stones in his bladder two years ago (it was touch and go for a short while) and I do not want to go through that again. Tags: me

When you see this, post five unpopular fandom opinions in your journal. - I liked Buffy. I liked Spike. I did not like Buffy/Spike. I do not think the pairing made any sense for either character.
- While I would prefer a Chlois/Chlark ending to Smallville, I could live with Chlollie fine. At this point, I’m just tired of Chloe never getting the superhero, and always seeming to have to settle.
- I love Richard Dean Anderson, but any and all appearances by him on Stargate after season 6 were pretty much phoned in. Also, as far as I’m concerned, Jack retired from the Air Force, married Samantha, and they live together near whatever base she’s assigned to.
- On House: I do not like Foreman. I do not like Thirteen. I do not like Taub. I do not like Cameron. I did not like Kutner. Can it just be House, Wilson, Cuddy, and Chase, please? And can Chase please switch to a new shampoo, I don’t think his current brand is working anymore.
- To me, if television shows and novels are works of fiction, then fanfic (a work of fiction based off another work of fiction, generally) is doubly so. That is to say, I view it as being far outside of canon, and far, far outside of reality. For that reason, I can’t get worked up over non-canon pairings, whether slash, nonslash, or Wincest. Usually even if I'm not a fan of the pairing, I can see why someone else would be attracted to exploring it. I also don’t think writing or reading something in fanfiction makes you a proponent of it in real life. Do I want Wincest in the actual SPN show? Absolutely NOT, I love the show, and the brother relationship exactly the way it is portrayed. But it doesn’t bother me to see or read explorations or twisting of relationships that are completely made up, and completely separate from the show. Chloe/Dean is never going to happen on the show, but I still write it. Sam/Dean is never going to happen, but I don't care if someone writes about it. Not all of it is my cup of tea, of course, and that's fine. What I care about is if the plot is interesting to me, does it twist up my insides with emotion, does it make me want to never stop reading? If it doesn’t, then I won’t read it. If it does, then I will.
