why_me_why_notHappy February 13th!! I'm totally cheating and making this the last valentine's post. If there is anyone that I missed writing a note to, I'm very sorry. But I love yall very much; my flist gives me a reason to smile everyday. Also, I need to say a special thank you to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilian_cho for tagging my entries and making my LJ a little less disorganized.
Today's song is my all time favorite love song. I swear, when I watch Pure Country (which is one of my favorite movies, go figure), I still tear up at the end when he sings this. So here ya go: Unconditional by George Strait
terrible_lie_: *squishes you* The last couple of times I've seen you around, you sounded like you needed them. I've just been a sucky friend and wasn't there to give them to you at the time. Have you gotten settled in wherever you moved to? (I just remember you talking about having to move last month; I don't remember seeing an update to that. Or to the job situation) Next time you're feeling down, read H/D fanfic email me or something and I'll do my best to cheer you up. *loves*
thatpushover: You should come play with us more often. Even if it's just to get into the middle of me and Krystal talking crack, b/c she's pretty cracktastic on here sometimes. It's not all about fandoms, I promise. Come play sometime during the comment party, let us introduce you the the wonderful world of LJ so you can see what you're missing. I'm still in your debt for the layout thing. You are very awesome, being so nice to me just because I'm friends with your friend.
tjournal: Happy Birthday! I hope you're feeling better? I was so disappointed that I didn't get to spend any time with you at wincon; I was hoping to at least get to talk to you, but we were all so busy and excited and instead of so much to do and so little time, it was an exercise in so many people to meet and so little time. I fell in love with you over "Timmy" and am so glad I decided to stalk friend you, because not only are you an amazing writer, but you're also an amazing person and I love reading about your life and your family. *big hugs*
toscas_kiss: Apparently I need to come lurk around your lj a bit because I have no idea what to say to you. But, after looking on your lj, I'm totally gonna stalk you now because you watch Criminal Minds!! YAY!!
trystan830: One of these days you might just kill me with those picspams. I love that you post the tv guide scans. And you always remember to just for spoilers. I love reading your Mayaverse stories, even though I'm usually not really fond of OCs in fic. I know that you're not into Wincest, but that you have Wincesters on your flist and realize that we can all get along nicely. The Jensen affect... well, it's a common bonding factor for us all, I think. I know your RL is busy with the hubby & kids and I love that you're so involved with your flist anyway, b/c I think it means you love us. And I love that you're still dedicated to your old fandoms, even for shows that I've never heard of until you brought them up, and now I want to hunt them down and watch them.
ttfs: I don't think I've told you nearly enough how much I enjoy your writing. That's partly because I have a really bad habit of reading stuff in the vQ/staff lounge on OWL and never going to comment on the story once it actually hits the sight. But you are an amazing author. As I've told a number of people, I wish I was still excited about the HP fandom because I really miss the people. I don't know much about you beyond that, other than the fact you're friends with Ari. Maybe now that I'm having a little more time to play, I can get to know you better.
wendy: WENDY!! There are not enough words in this world for me to tell you how much you mean to me. This would make more sense if I had actually sent your Christmas present (it's sitting here with the rest of them, half a dozen little boxes in a nice neat line waiting for me to get some money -- yay! for tax refunds! one week!), but I want you to know that you really do inspire me. I don't just mean by prompting and cheerleading in fandom, but you inspire me to want to be a better person overall and I love you for that. You are such an awesome friend, and you're always there for all of us even when you're not in a happy place yourself. I love seeing your name come up in my email or on my LJ. I cannot wait to see you again. ILU!
whosjeebus: Karaoke. Drinking. Getting some random guy to take his shirt off and show us his tattoos. What were we thinking? Oh wait! You were writing things down so you'd remember them. And we were passing notes b/c it was too loud in the bar to talk. Good times, baby. *g* I haven't really been around much since then, because I totally fail at LJ, but I plan on being around now, so don't be surprised to see me, k?
wook77: I don't think you have any idea how much I love you. I am in awe of all the things that you do in fandom. I know we've talked about it, but I really don't see how you not only get it all done, you get it done efficiently. You are just all kinds of awesome! And on top of that, you still find time to be a great, supportive friend. You've listened to me whinge on more than one occasion about fic, even fic that's in fandoms unfamiliar to you, and you've also been there when I was having real life doubts and needed a friend. You are one of my lucky stars, wookie, and I love you so so much for everything.
xo_jodi_xo: I feel like I'm a bad big sister or something b/c I haven't talked to you but a handful of times in the last several months. Doesn't mean I don't think about you, and wonder how school's going and how the knee is, and how YOU are. Also, I keep thinking that I wanna get you and my lil sis together sometime, since yall are about the same age, and maybe you can show her around fandom. *g* Even though sometimes I think you're a bit too young to be in fandom. I love ya anyway, kiddo, and I miss talking to you. Email me sometime!
yaycoffee: We have these little stickers at work that say "COFFEE" and every time I have to pick them I think of you. I haven't actually sat down and talked to you properly in ages, either on Y!M or commenting on your LJ. I totally fail at fandom, I swear. But I still think you are way awesome and I hope to get back into the swing of my flist and comment more. Will you join us for the fandom chat this weekend? You know you miss them!
yeungmaisu: I've never really talked to you much. I know that we share a connection through Tauri. I really wish we had talked, though, because you always seem so friendly. I'm very glad to have you on my flist!
yodels: I miss you!! I... don't know what else to say. Apparently I need to go stalk your LJ too. But I love you!! *big hugs*
Today's drabblet is from Jericho. Which starts back tomorrow night with a recap episode, if you haven't been watching.
Heather tried to calm the butterflies in her stomach as she peeked into the crowded church. She didn't really have anything to be nervous about -- unless she counted walking down the aisle with Jake Green.
She was happy that Emily had worked out her feelings, that Roger had stood beside her while she did, and that they had decided on a Valentine's Day wedding. They all needed a reminder of love and life, and it looked like the whole town had come out to the wedding.
What she didn't quite understand was how Roger and Jake had become friends. She had been really surprised when Emily had told her Jake was going to be Roger's best man. The last thing she wanted to do was spend time with Jake, and they had been forced together so much over the last couple of days that she was on edge. She still wasn't sure what her own feelings about Jake were; she had been doing her best not to think about it when she thought she couldn't have him.
Heather jumped at the touch of a hand on her lower back.
"Ready?" Jake asked with a smile.
Not really, she thought, but she forced a smile of her own and took his arm to walk down the aisle.
Today's recipe is
Cafe Mocha Tart
1 refrigerated ready-rolled piecrust (from a 2-crust, 15-oz pkg)
2/3 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp instant espresso powder
1/3 c packed light-brown sugar
1/2 c light or dark corn syrup
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
whipped cream, optional
1. Heat oven to 350. Fit piecrust into a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Sprinkle chocolate and walnuts evenly over crust. Set aside.
2. Microwave butter in large glass bowl, covered, 40 seconds. Whisk in espresso powder. Beat in brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla. Pour into crust.
3. Bake in lower third of oven at 350 for 37 to 40 minutes. Cool on rack to room temperature. Cut into slices; serve with whipped cream if desired.
