Recs etc.

I was full of goodwill towards the world this morning and then MS Word sapped my will to live *shakes fist at mystifying and random formatting*. The judicious application of cheesecake has restored my spirits somewhat. Here, have a few recs:

SPN: January Sun by lemanya [Gen, PG-13 (although it seemed pretty G to me)]
Beautifully written little story with wee Winchesters, a lovely young OC and wonderful atmosphere building. Also, a really nice, hopeful ending. It needs a lot more love than it seems to have got, so go read and praise :)

(...tangentially, doesn't got seem like a weird word? Every time I use got (or gotten), I feel like I'm making a mistake. But gotten's a real word, right? Weird.)

Glee: I'm not really in Glee fandom as such and canon is...well, rather lacking in logic from the few episodes I watched all the way through, but I still managed to get a few favorite characters and there are a couple of fic authors who I absolutely adore. If anyone's interested, miggy and paperclipbitch write the most delightful Glee fic. *draw hearts around their LJs*

In a totally unrelated conclusion, I don't like summer. How's everyone else doing?

Well, got and gotten are both colloquialisms so that's probably why they seem strange. They're like regional, slang-y versions of have and had, I think.

I always long for summer when I'm bogged down with class, but whenever it arrives I'm bored within the week. I'm trying to job hunt to fix that, but the hunt is... slow.

That could be it. They just don't seem to roll off the tongue as easily as most words.

The summer after my final school exams in mid-April, I had about four months of doing nothing since university didn't start till September. The idea of those months of leisure had been awesome right until a couple of weeks into them. My friends were busy with state and national exams and man, that turned out to be a really boring time. Somehow, too long breaks with nothing to do always seem more amazing in theory than in practice :/

Good luck with the job hunt :)
