I don't know how many mothers I have on my friends list (I only know of one off the top of my head) - but if you are a mother, or just play a motherly role in someone's life, I'd like to wish you a very happy Mother's Day and say THANK YOU for all that you do!

Mothers have to put up with a lot! I know I was definitely a handful for my mother when I was a kid. I know I drove her crazy at times. It takes a lot of strength and patience to be a mom (it takes a lot of patience working with kids that aren't my own, so I imagine it'd take so much more for a mom). I admire my mom so much, and I think I learn to appreciate what she's done for me more and more as I grow older.

I'd really like to be a mom one day.

Lovely little hand-carved wooden deer I bought from the local thrift store, circa 1960s or 70s:

It's just one of those days.

It's a full moon (or nearly). I think it does things to people's minds. And children tend to be really hyper during full moons and drive me bananas.

Also the wank on Livejournal tonight.

Have you noticed strange behavior during a full moon?

According to Twitter, it looks like Supernatural got picked up for season 8. They're running longer than Buffy now.

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it.

On one hand, I'm wary that the show is being stretched out too long and the quality will suffer (well some of it already HAS suffered, in my opinion, but I still love my show). On the other hand, it's a habit to watch Supernatural every week, and I have an attachment to it. I'll miss it if it's gone.

I'm not the type of person who REALLY gets invested in a lot of tv shows at once. I just pick one or two things at a time and stick with it for years, like I did for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and Angel). And it was TOUGH losing Buffy. I bawled like a baby during the series finale. When the time comes for Supernatural to end, I know I'll bawl like a baby again, possibly even worse.

Read and comment with me about it, even if you don't fill it out yourself :)

I need to stop searching for random 90s music videos on Youtube.

I was suddenly reminded how ancient I apparently am when I see a teenager commenting on youtube saying they were born in 1998.

I was already a teenager myself in 1998.

D:

I stumbled upon a post at ONTD about people on Twitter who didn't know the Titanic sinking was a real event - they only thought it's a movie...how does one get through life NOT knowing Titanic was a real ship?! That boggles my mind.

That's worse than the people who thought tweets about the The Twilight Zone tv show had to do with sparkly-vampire Twilight.

One of my prompts over at hoodie_time is currently getting filled (still a WIP at the moment). But it's an adorable story! Go check it out:

Sam comes back to the motel room (after getting some supplies for a sick Dean), and finds Dean snuggling with a German Shepherd dog - Snuggling With Dogs

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always been fascinated with Titanic, from the very first time I heard about it. I grew up reading stories and looking at books having to do with the Titanic, and the stories behind it. And there's a LOT of stories: everything from paranormal tales surrounding the ship, to a kidnapping case (which is true). I think it's the one historical event that I've researched/read about the most.

What's sad is that this disaster could have been avoided (as when Titanic got one ice warning, they reportedly replied, "Shut up! I'm busy!")



One more interesting bit of info: In today's money, here's what it would have cost to book passage on The Titanic:
1st class regular room - About $3,000
1st class parlor suite - About $80,000
2nd class - About $1,200
3rd class - About $300 to $800
(I rounded on some of those - source)

Exactly 100 years ago tonight, Titanic sank.
