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

I always long for summer when I'm bogged down with class, but whenever it arrives I'm bored within the week
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 :)
