Doing a quick drive-by rec while I'm at work since this struck a chord and frankly since I'm not at all moved by flaky stuff this is a rec that everyone should read. Its a fantastic SPN J2 Big Bang fic and .....just go read.  [livejournal.com profile] laurapetri you need to read this and I'm not being hokey when you see the subject matter I'm being real because  you know I've been there and am still there......Just trust me....it works.

I'm doing a copy paste linkage thing so I hope it works.

Title: Lost and Found
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Self-esteem and weight-related issues.
Word Count: 47,000
Disclaimer: None of this is true.

Summary: Jensen Ackles is a shy, overweight songwriter whose body issues have prevented him from forming any real personal connections, and at thirty, he’s still unsure of his sexuality, and still a virgin. But when he signs up for an experimental obesity research program, he meets Jared Padalecki, a stunningly sexy fitness guru who slowly but surely changes Jensen’s life.

A/N: Written for [info]spn_j2_bigbang. Gorgeous, original art by the very talented [info]sarahtoga. Thank you to [info]wendy, [info]audrarose, and [info]thehighwaywoman for hosting this amazing challenge and dealing with all of the crazy admin. Beta by my darling shmoo [info]balefully, without whom this story would never have seen the light of day.

A/N 2: While I didn't write this story with the intent to make people re-evaluate their own bodies or fitness levels, if you're interested in more information about health and obesity, the National Institutes of Health has a few helpful websites that are easy to read and are sanctioned by the U.S. Government: Active at any size and Better health and wellness for everyone. Thanks to [info]deadlychameleon for the links!

I'd take Ianto Jones from Torchwood!!!! Why?, because he'd know the best restaurants with the best food and service and he'd be great in bed. He is a connosieur after all!

I hold massive grudges! The longest one lasted two and a half years. I made that person invisible, to me she didn't exist and it helped to and extent...I spent those years in various stages of rage. Forgiveness is not my nature. If you wrong me then I  will wish for ill on your head. To get back in my good graces, only heartfelt grovelling will work and after such a long time the only reason I was able to let go of the betrayal was because she broke first. I won. It took 2 1/2 years but I  won.

Honestly? You want my honest answer? Well to be quite frank, I'd try to blow something up or maybe set something large on fire. A while ago I would have said that firstly I'd try to kill the people who have wronged me but where I am now has mellowed me out considerably......still, I'd try to blow some shit up.

Well peeps, I am currently in the lobby of the DoubleTree Miami Mart Airport on the internet using the wireless of my new laptop! I'm online since we have to get checked out at 4.00 am and so it makes no sense to try and sleep and be over tired in the morning. I will get sleep on the flight to Tokyo which is like 14+ hours. I'm supposed to arrive in Narita at 2.25 pm on Sunday July 2nd 2009. STRESS!!!!

The flight down was okay but we had to wait extremely long to get through immigration and by the time we got down to the hotel at was after 10 pm and we hadn't eaten as yet. I had to call home and we had to get international call cards to do that. We got these things done after 12 so some of us decided to just stay awake. I;m really very tired though and I keep feeling as though I'm on the plane bobbing up and down in turbulence!

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this in your journal if you believe homophobia is wrong.

Currently at 7.51 pm on July 7, 2009, I am crying like a baby watching the highlights from today's service. I held everything in at work while I watched the stream on ABCnews but as I was washing dishes tonight it really hit me that he is gone. Michael Jackson is dead and gone and now buried and the world is all the more darker.

I've been fine for the last two weeks but today finally drove the point home.

Rest in Peace Michael and wherever in the wild yonder you may roam, may you always be remembered as an Entertainer, Philanthropist and a kind and loving human being.

Love you forever.

In Memoriam:-

No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Author: Hermann Broch

Those who focused on the shock of shards as the phoenix bird burst from his shell nearly missed the sight of his wondrous maiden flight as he soared up and away and out of sight.
Author: Saiom Shriver

Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Author: Bhagavad Gita

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.
Author: Vladimir Nobokov

There is no death! What seems so is transition; This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian, whose portal we call Death.
Author: Henry W. Longfellow

Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
Author: Charles Caleb Colton

To be in a world which is a hell, to be of that world and neither to believe in or guess at anything but that world is not merely hell but the only possible damnation: the act of a man damning himself. It may be -- I hope it is -- redemption to guess and perhaps perceive that the universe, the hell which we see for all its beauty, vastness, majesty, is only part of a whole which is quite unimaginable.
Author: William Golding

I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven.
Author: Tupac Shakur

Because I could not stop for death He kindly stopped for me The carriage held but just ourselves And immortaility.
Author: Emily Dickinson

When he shall die Take him and cut him in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Author: William Shakespeare

Au Revoir MJ.

2. Heal the World
3. Black or White
4. Thriller
5. Billie Jean
6. Beat it
7. Who is it
8. Leave me Alone
9. Smooth Criminal
10. I wanna be where you are

I'm gonna miss his presence so very much. I feel as though an irreplaceable  light has gone out in the world and universe at large.

I am in total shock tonight to learn that Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles on June 25, 2009 of cardiac arrest. What an unimaginable loss to the Music World of an iconic figure. I have no words. I grew up on his music, watched his concerts on TV and bought several of his albums including Dangerous, HIStory and Blood on the Dancefloor. I am completely blindsided. My thoughts and prayers go out to his young children.

Dear all,

This was posted up on [livejournal.com profile] torch_wood  and I think it should be spread around.

The individual responsible for Minotaur's Sex Tips for Slash writers - Stuart Carroll [livejournal.com profile] minotaurs passed away on June 14, 2009 of a heart attack. His was the first site during my venture into Slash in 1998 that really gave me insight into how to write should I so choose and I know that his site was frequently recced.

As a fount of knowledge he will be deeply missed.
