  Impala!!!

  It finally happened you guys!! The car drove straight past me! It was so close! I could have touched it! I could have jumped into it! (The roof was down. No idea why as it is freezing during day, and even colder in the evening..) It is so gorgeous! I got practiacally star-struck! I could have sucked in all the details, but I wasn't able to (I was able to detect some writing on the side and on the tail, but I wasn't able to read, that would require too much constructive thinking ), coz it went right by me, and it looks amazing, and it(the front) looks just like Metallicar (except for not having the awesome side-head-lights), I just imagined Dean and Sam driving by, and it was beautiful and it went right past me! I'm almost still shaking (And now it drove past my window) I want that car!!! I was just coming out from supper (The school and, obviously, it's cefeteria is one building, the dorm building is another one), and I am glad I went in kind of late, and ate just what I did and spent exactly the amount of time I did, and left as I did, coz if just one of those took longer/shorter, I'd miss it! I was walking back, had just gone out the door, when I heard a car and automatically turned my head to the sound. I saw the lights (it was already getting rather dark out) and I thought "..that...can it be..? no... is it?" (Bless SN eps showing us Metllicar driving off in the dark. I can ID it by the headlights ) it came a little closer, and, it had music on (not rock some Norwegian summer classic. I guess he needed a summer song to keep himself warm), but the engine... this was a big one...and the lights... it came even closer, and, in the light from the surrounding bulidings, and the street lights, and the tiny bits of remaining daylight, I could see it, this truly was the Impala! And the timeing was so perfect, coz the road goes between the dorm and the school, and with the phase I was walking and the speed the car was driving (which was slow) I walked straight onto it It was so awesome! It is gorgeous!!! This chick was walking next to me, and as the car had passed (not as it passed, was too busy staring/drooling to be able to form words), "I love that car!" "Yea, it was pretty cool." "I'm so gonna convince him to sell it to me." "Are you?" "Yes!" "It's probably expencive.." "...Yea... I do have a plan tho, I'm gonna make him run over me just slightly, and then I'll get the car as compensation." "..Right... nice plan.." Ahh... I was so lost in my thoughts as I got up here. I went into the kitchen (there's a kitchen in the doorm building aswell, but we get food at the cafeteria 3 times/day) to put something in the fridge and grab some water, and as I was about to go out the door, another chick came in, and I jumped

  BTW, I know, too many details, all you really needed to know was that the car just drove past me. But I am on an Impala-high right now, so sue me (or don't, coz I'm gonna need my money to buy the car..)

  (So I'll go on ) I actually haven't seen the car in...2-3 weeks. Last week we were on break, so I wasn't here, so, not surprising I didn't see it then. But I don't think I (There it was again! Yes, I do look out the window every time a car drives by It's kind of depressing as about 95% of the time it's not Impala, but it is awesome everytime it is Impala, and I don't wanna miss it ) saw the car at all the week before that either, if I did it was on Mon or Tue, and I hadn't seen it this week before now. I was getting worried. I was in the potatoefield again yesterday, but the car wasn't home so I couldn't take convinient staring/drooling breakes like I did last time

  Ok...That is enough Impala rambling for now SN Thrusday tomorrow! And then SN Friday the day after that! I am really looking forward to this one! It looks way, way heavy, possibly too heavy, so I'm not sure I'm gonna like it, but I'm still so very excited! I was tepted to see the prewiev on Facebook, I never do that! I am a complete spoilefobe, so all I know is what the SOON preview in the last ep showed, and the ep description on tv.com. And the title of course. I am expecting a lot of Cas, hopefully some Metallicar action, and hopefully I'll like it.

  Hehe..I'm all hyper now after the Impala sighting(s)...

  Hope you're all doing good! *hugs* *special hugs for KDT*

  It's been a year.... etc

  Hello!

  So, I don't know if you remember (or have any indication of time on this matter), but 1 year ago, my grandparent's house burnt down... Well, actually, it was Sept 15th, so it's slightly more than a year, I've been thinking to blog for 2 weeks, just haven't gotten around to it..Anyway.

  I cannot believe it's been a year already.. It feels more like three months. Well.. it just feels odd really, I still sometimes feel like it just happened, sometimes it feels as if it's always been this way.. But for the most part, it only feels like a few months, not a year.

  I realized around the middle of Aug that it was 11 months, one more month and it'd be a year, and, so, in a way, the 11 month day was harder than the 12 month/one year day.. (of course I had been thinking of it for long before that, I just didn't realize in the same way) . On the 15th we had a bit of a family reunion. All my aunts and uncles, and most my cousins, and Grandma of course, live close, so we often meet, but we rented a location for the day, and (I think it was) 27 of us got together in the evening. First we went to the grave,and then we went just to hang out and eat together and stuff. Just to mark the day in some way. Just to be together. It wasn't sad at all actually, I did half expect I'd cry, but I didn't. It was nice. Grandma had spent a few hours by the house aswell (well, not the house, the house is gone, but where their house used to be, in their garden), and talked to the guy who first arrived, and practically saved her, the night of the fire. She has talked to him on several occations after the fire, but he still told her some things she didn't know. Coz she doesn't remember. Like, she remembers being inside, she remembers detecting the fire, and trying to get both herself and Grandpa out. (He didn't get out.) She remembers the grass was cold, how her feet were absolutely freezing, and she remembers screaming for Grandpa to get out, and for someone to come help them. She partly remembers this guy, R, coming, and getting into his car, and that's about it. Just bits and pieces after that. She does not remember seeing the fire from the outside. She does not remember seeing her house on fire. She remembers it from inside, seeing her livingroom on fire, but she does not remember seeing her house on fire from the outside. She remembers running around outside, screaming and freezing and scared and disoriented, but she cannot recollect any image of the house burning. Which is good, I guess. Blocking that part out. Now, she does not remember everything else from being outside, such as where he found her, that she does not remember. She remembers him coming, but not where they were. This guy, R, he just happens to be married to, I think it's her cousin's daughter. So when he came, he said "Do you know me?" and she said "Is it you R?" She kind of remembers that. And she remembers she was so happy, felt they were soo nice to let her sit in their car. (Him and his son) After that she only remembers bits and pieces. She does not remember the ambulance coming, or getting out of the car and into the ambulance, but she does remember my dad came into the ambulance. And she remembers they asked her over and over and over and over when she was born. She remembers slightly struggeling to get the words out, but managing it, and getting just a tad bit annoyed that they couldn't just write it down already so they didn't need to ask her all the time

  Wow..I write too much... Like I said, I've been meaning to do this blog for 2 weeks, and decided that this week I would do it. But honestly, I have to admit, why it happens now, is coz of school. In my homework for tomorrow, it includes quite a few pages and tasks on protection against fire. Some days, that would be okay, some days, like today, it's not. So I just needed to get it out of my system on a more personal note, before getting into reading/doing the tasks. Coz I do not want to cry at school tomorrow, and I think if I am able to distance myself from it while doing homework, it will be easier to distance myself from it at school aswell. But I don't know. I still got no way of knowing how I'm gonna react to fire. Like, some days, just randomly hearing the word, even if it's like "Fire in my heart", that kind of thing, that's all it takes for me to start crying. Other days I can watch a movie or something, and there'll be a house burning, and I don't care, (I mean, I do, but I don't) I'm able to smile and laugh, not necessarily about the fire, but joking about something else, and then smile while seeing the fire on the screen. Honestly tho, photos are the hardest. I mean, I didn't see the fire, I didn't actually experience it, physically nor visually, but I did see the house after. So now, seeing pics of a burning/burnt down house.. That often gets to me. And there's a picture in the book... I keep looking at it (I'm not sure why I don't just close the book/turn the page really, but..). Ah.. No, I'm gonna finish this blog, and then I'm gonna do my homework. If I cry, then I cry. And if I cry at school, then I cry at scholl, I'm sure everyone will understand. I might txt the teacher, haven't decined yet. Haven't made up my mind wheither I want him to know or not. I'm not sure I want him to know, coz then he'll be thinking of it, and then I'm gonna feel some kind of sympathy, weither he shows it (to the class) or not, but then again, if he does know, then he'll know why I might react to it.. But it's not until after lunch tomorrow, so I got several hours to prepare, and to find out how the day is.. But, again, if I cry, then I cry, it's not worse than that.

  I guess that's enough fire talk for now. I'm not sure the whole "getting it out of my system" angle worked, but It is therapeutic to talk about it anyway

  Ok, otherwise.. School is good... Still not entirely adjusted to this dorm life.. But I can say I totally understand people complaining about their roommates (We only share a tiny hall and a bathroom. Kitchen and shower is shared with the entire main hall, which should be 12 but is 11 people.) She's okay really, she's just annoying.

  Here are a few, more or less random, SN assosiations

  One, some of you should know of already, as I mentioned it in my last blog: One of the neighbours has an Impala! It's not an exacly Metallicar double, but it is an Impala It is black and gorgeous. Drop top. I think it's a 66, but I still haven't been able to identify it really. I will talk to the guy who owns it, and I will convince him to sell it to me. That's the plan! I haven't seen it this week But saw it quite a bit last week, when plucking (what do you call it btw? "taking up" maybe?) potatoes. The potatoe field was just below the Impala's house. My effectivity may have sunk when I realized that Was too far to really see any details, but I could clarly see the car, so I was like "Ok, time for a break *drool all over Impala*"

  Also; the sound the door into the main hall (from the stairs) makes. It is just like that creaky sound that is part of the S3 namecard sequence! Amuses me every time (And I walk thru that door several times a day! )

  Third: Oxytocin. You remember it? It's the hormone Cara was talking about in S&V, the one that all the men who'd killed their wifes had such high levels of. She said it's produced during child birth, lactation and sex. For me, this is a topic in school because of lactation. You know, cows, milk, lactation: Oxytocin. It is not impossible I smiled pretty much every time it was mentioned, and it did help me on my test

  Speaking of SN: It is SN Thursday! I just rewatched FTBYAM just before sitting down with my homework (which wasn't a very long sitting at all ) And I get to see the new eptomorrow! It kind of sucks tho, I haven't figured out a way to see it at school Not able to dl here. I don't know if it's just me or not. I think it may be a firewall (fire..) thing, and I don't really wanna mess with the school's set ups so.. But yea, that was one of my big concernes before moving here; Will I be able to dl SN?? Is there Internet? No (I think), but, (obviously) yes.

  Another tv concern of mine is when biathlon starts back up in a couple months. Will I be able to see it?? Here are a few tv's but everyone has to share, and I'm at school, you know. Hopefully I'll figure something out. And I can always watch in the weekends, at home.

  From the topic of TV, we'll smoothly jump over to movies. I'm gonna go watch Up with my bff this weekend I've already seen it tho Misha twitted about watching it 3 times, and it was so good, and if it wasn't then he'd be furious (something like that) about a month ago, I figured, since it was so good he'd watch it 3 times without being furious, then it had to be good. I'm not really that into animated movies, but this one was amazing! I loved it so much! So much deeper than I thought it would be. It was so fabulously unrealistic, yet so amazingly believable! Told the bff about it, and she said we'dgo see it when it came to the cinema, and it came here last weekend, but we couldn't go then, so we're going now The local/district paper gave it a 6 I'm so excited to see it again! It's been over a month since I saw it, and I have made myself not watch it again coz I don't want to remember the whole thing when seeing it now

  Okay, I'm gonna wrap this up. Seriuosly, I need to learn to keep my blogs to a reasonable lenght!

  Just one last thing. Fall has definitely sat in. It's been COLD this week. Snow on the mountains. Bring on winter.. The trees look amazing There's this huge, yellow, almost golden tree just outside my window, and there's another tree just behind it, about the same size, but still green, and seeing them up against eachother..beautiful!

  Ok, that's enough! Time for food and homework now. Thanks for reading.

  Supernatural!

  As we all know, this week will bring the return of Supernatural! I'd say that totally deserves a blog

  I've spent the last month rewatching the entire series. Started Aug 3rd and finished Sept 5th. Saw the two first seasons in 10 days, then chilled after that. Started with worrying weither I was even gonna make it, but ended up being done a week before I had to, and I could have been done sooner. I think I did good.

  Figured I'd do a little review.

  All in all, what I'm left with.. I dunno, I'm a little underwhelmed, but not really.. I don't like to say it but in a way I feel like Kripke, without really doing it, has sort of ruined his own show. What I mean is, it has been building up, and building up, and building up.. Which of course is amazing, but looking back, albeit the quality of the show is just the same, meaning it is still an utterly amazing show, but the impact it leaves, is getting smaller.. I like to use the finale of S2 as an exsample, coz I remember I was all over the top excited about it, and it was so awesome, and we thought we were really starting to see some of Kripke's plan, and we knew all about YED... But, turns out, we were wrong! Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just lowers the impact. Of course, S2 is a long time ago, lots of things have happened, we know so much more now. But that's not ethe issue. Not really. It's not what has happened, it's how it's happened... Uhm, I feel this got messy, makes more sense in my head... Further on this tho, and I know I said this upto several times during last season, everything has gotten too big now! It is too heavy! It has taken away the impact from previous serasons, but has taken on too big an impact so it's hard to comprehend it all.. And even bigger it gets...? But ah, bring it on!

  Ok, on to some of my thought that I have collected during my watch, and that I still remember right now

  I just can't get over John! Everytime when I rewatch, it builds up all thru S1, more or less stays with throughout S2, then sort of fades away a bit, gets a boost every now and again, especially early in S4, and still, now.. I'm left here, wondering; Just how much did John know!?!?! Supposedly, he knew. But knew what? Did he know the full extent of YED's plan? Did he know only to the end of S2, or did he know beyond that? Did he know all the way thru to the end of S4? Is it even bigger? He did not break for 10 months/100 years, which might indicate he did know. But did he really know the whole, full plan? Everything? All the way down to the Apocalypse? Why did he keep it to himself? Did he know Sam was gonna (be tempted to) go down the rute he did end up going down? The "Save him or kill him" idicates he might of. But how? And did he know that Dean might start it by going in after he got out? I could go on, but you know where this is all going. How much did John know, and how did he know it??!? Also, have to say, John, IMO, has to be the best hunter! (That we have been introduced to anyway. I know there are others that we have not heard of, and there are those we have breifly heard of, and those we have met briefly, and there are those we know...and, by what I can tell (and if John really did know...which I'm leaning towards he did), he has got to have been the best!)

  Another thing that I can't let go, but I think we're supposed to get an answer to, Croatoan!??! I hope so... but I'm not sure (No spoilers please! Uhm..ok, if you know anything, you can confirm or disconfirm it, but no more info! )

  One more thing: Do we know why the CRD said she could get in trouble for dealing with Dean?

  The best episode: What Is and What Should Never Be! Such a fantastic episode! It is just about perfect! Honestly, it's the best episode I have ever seen, of any show, ever! It is so amazing! I love it so much!!! I mean, the story, the writing, the acting, the directing, the editing, everything! It is all so incredible! It doesn't hurt that it is kind of special with the fact that it was the first ep Kripke ever directed. But that's just a bonus. And he did a great job! And, I mean, the acting! Jensen, the guy who always deliveres, outdoes even himself on this ep! I just can't get over it! Why did he not get an award for that ep!?! And the editing/cutting! It is so amazing! Seeing Dean's reflection in the pictures/the computer. And when he sees/remembers from the warehouse. (The girl and the people hanging) The first time he saw those people hanging in his closet, I thought that they were actually there, hanging in his closet! I thought like, "what, the dude thinks he's normal, got a normal life, and then the poor kid goes off to find people hanging in his closet!?!" But then the girl was there, but then she was gone, and so were the people... Man... Aw, Dean continually broke my heart! Seriously, the first time I saw it, I cried straight thru the whole ep! From the first scene with Mary, and throughout. And occationaly I lughed. And then I cried again, then lauged, etc..such an emotional rollercoster for me this ep!I love it! I mean, the jokes were so great, and maybe, because it was so emotional, those tiny moments of humor just became all the more pleasant. But come on! "I can't believe were even related." ... "You're still my brother." "B1tch." "What are you calling me a B1tch for?!" "You're supposed to say jerk...nevermind." And the end!!! Dude is actually apologizing to his imaginationary family (and he knows they're just his imagination) for not staying! And he's willing to kill himself for something he's 90% sure of! He had everything he ever wanted, but was 90% sure it wasn't really, so he killed himself! Or, he almost did, then they confirmed it was imaginary and tried to convince him to stay, and then he apologized and... And he "wanted to stay so bad"!!! Obviously, I'm glad he didn't stay, and I appreciate all the crap that happens to them, coz the show wouldn't be what it is without it (the core of the show is to torture the main characters) but it breaks my heart every time! And there's the lawnmower scene!!! And the graveyard scene! (had to be mentioned..)And I could go on, but I'll stop myself there I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!

  The ep I wish I loved: The Rapture. I want to love this ep, but I can't. It just..it could have been so much more...Or maybe it was enough, but it could have been done so much better! I mean, it's a great story, and Misha is....well, he's Misha! But the writing just... Especially some of the dialogues.. and some of the monologues aswell.. and just general conversations.. Some is good, but some just doesn't sit right with me. Also.. the guests could have been better. Actually, the girl, Claire (Not bothered to go find their names) she did a good job. She was just sort of there as Claire, she was an important, but not a very big character, but I felt she did Castiel justice. And that is not at all a bad accomplishment by a young girl Amelia on the other hand.. Ok, to be fair, she was abit victimised by the bad writing I mentioned. It was especially the (first) dialogue(s) between her and Jimmy that felt odd to me (After he returned. Present time, not past.). I blame both the acting and the writing there.. The one when he is about to leave again, and she is sitting in the car, he's kneeling down outside the car, that one was nice tho So yes, all in all a good episode, but it could have been done better. And I wish it had been done better. I can't fully enjoy it when I know it could have been so much better! And very easily so! And I wish Castiel/Jimmy/Misha could have gotten a really fabulous episode! Considered how big and important Cas/Misha is, both to the show and the fans, he should have gotten a truely fabuous ep! He had a great story, but, unfortunately, they just weren't able to execute it..

  That's all I can bring to mind right now...

  How excited are we tho!?!?!?!!? I cannot wait!!!!! It's gonna be gooooooood!!!! I am fairly spoiler free, but the little bits and pieces that I know.. It's goona be gooood!!! So excited!!

  (Please go wild on the comments, but no spoilers )
