I've known Miss Pip now for exactly 8 days. In that time I have taken her for long walks, trained with her a few times, given her muscle massages, thrown her toy for her, played tug with her, had big snuggles on my lap with her, kept her out of harms way in my arms when an errant dog and her owner (who had no recall whatsoever) took a disliking to her, I've fed her and stroked her and just watched her constantly. Yesterday we ran in our first ever trial together in the highest class of grade 6/7 agility here in the UK. Tomorrow we leave for Belgium and the World Agility Open Championships. There are some runs you have that just feel like you've just injected a shot of pure endorphin into your blood, this was one of them. There were a 123 pretty good dogs in this class, Pip and I won by two seconds :)Hope you all can see this link cos I can't seem to embed using the iPad :)

SHE RUNS WITH DOGS!




I am on a roll this morning what with updating and all...still got some Con pics to do but gotta go walk my super dog now. Pics of her too later in her stunning green and gold jacket!

ICYMI The Jared Meet and Greet #2 now uploaded (flocked) and prior to that the post containing Jared, semi nude, beach and Rio. That is all. :) Jensen Meet and Greet #2 coming soon!

JARED PADALECKI LOOKS PERFECT BUT...

Due to the ridiculous amount of perfection in my last fairly pic spam heavy post of all that is Jared on a beach in Rio shirtless I have been forced to compose a post for the sake of my own sanity and also that of others who are beginning to feel that no one will ever measure up to Jared as long as he is in existence. I HAVE THE ANSWER. This post will be for you all to help me point out the flaws of Jared. He has them I swear. The man is human. He is flawed I just know it, we just have to dig deep.

Please respond in the comments with your observations on Jared Padalecki Flaws you have noticed.

I shall start us off.

JaredPadaleckiFlaw#1: The man is, according to Jensen (who never EVER makes shit up about Jared by the way) CONSTANTLY LATE. I don't know about the rest of you but that habit does make me a lil twitchy and then depending on how late and where to it can move from twitchy to repressed ragey. That shit is annoying as all hell. And it would make me totally grumpy with him for at least...the three seconds it takes for that stupid, dimpled, earnestly apologetic smile to blind me. *sigh*

JaredPadaleckiFlaw#2: *thinks*  .....    *thinks some more*  .....  Inordinately large amounts of gas emissions and I'm not talking CO2 here. Don't get me wrong, that shit is hilarious on gag reels and when it happens to other people but quite frankly Jared is not perfect enough to have his flatulence smell like roses. Jensen's eyes watering in the Season 2 gag reel is testament to this fact. Farts are not funny Jared - you either need to get a nutritionist or take some Degas.

Okay...that's all I've got. It's clearly not enough because apparently all I have to do is look at the pictures on my last post to start making excuses to cover him for the above two flaws...that's not how this post is supposed to work. Help me flist!

ETA: AHA! Success so far...
thanks to samm_901 I have:
JaredPadaleckiFlaw#3: Jared has been known from time to time to interrupt people whilst they are speaking. This is so not attractive Jared. I mean I know it is just your natural exuberance and enthusiasm and sheer joie de vivre shining through when you do this and you don't mean to be rude but to be quite honest you need to be a little more aware of it. People do love to hear what you say (and quite frankly I don't really care a whit if you do interrupt them as long as I get to hear you talking) but if they are trying to give you full information this is probably something you need to pull back on.

thanks to katwoman76 for this gem:
JaredPadaleckiFlaw#4: Jared doesn't sit still long enough in Con Panels for the noobie Con photographers to get good pics of him. I swear I nearly said something I was getting so twitchy about it. I mean I'd take a bunch...check em immediately delete nearly all of them...then I'd glare up at Jared's fidgeting ass for all of two seconds before I'd promptly forget what I was mad about. HA! really that's another flaw right there. He's very good at distracting people from the train of thoughts. In fact he completely derails them. Renders them downright slack jawed in a cerebral way. (I always remember to close my mouth, always)

That's four flisties! We're going great. This is certainly helping. ... probably.

just pictures - and I warn you serious heart palpitations may result in the viewing of this cut... JARED PADALECKI YOU HAVE RUINED ME FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE FOREVER AND EVER. *shakes tiny fist*


( Click for more Jared than we've seen in a while... )

I know it's everywhere but I don't care I need to repost it so it is always here for me to look at...

Hi all!

Juat an update to let you know what is happening with my JIB posts. I am currently working on typing up my second Jared Meet and Greet and will be posting that soon. The first ones of Jensen an Jared are already posted flocked. I am on dial up on PC but 3G with my phone which is not really helpful for posting pics. However I will keep wading through my pics off line and choosing, resizing and editing so I can maybe transfer via USB.

Off to London city for the day - hoping to relive some Sherlock scenes LOL!

About to head off to the airport and away from the brilliantly speedy, horrifically expensive wifi here in the Hilton. May as well make the most of it.

( Click for pretty shenanigans... )

Okay so there is this:



This is Jared's impression of Dean Winchester. The man is a beast! This pic was taken by the awesome chick sitting next to me - who is on twitter: @ontara9 :) She's allowed me to post it here because I begged her. LOL!!

So that's one reason - here's the other reason.

This one is by me. How I managed to even keep the camera remotely stable at this point I have no idea. Jensen never does things by halves I've noticed.

Oh and *WAVES* HI!!! To all my new followers all of a sudden ;-) lol! Just to let you know the meet and greet recounts are friends locked posts (only 1 so far hoping to do Jared's tonight and then the second M&G with them later on. Yes I was in TWO meet and greets with both the Js. Why? It's a long and fiscally painful story so don't ask.) so whilst you may have friended me I don't necessarily friend back unless I get to know you and what your journal is like. Feel free to message me and introduce yourself. Bear in mind I am hopping a plane to London tomorrow so may not be accessing the internet till I suss out a new sim card for my phone and hopefully some wifi.

Oh and someone asked about my camera? It is a Nikon D5100 with an 18 - 200 lens. And of course chatting away today with hubby who I should have called way earlier who told me how to change my settings to accommodate moving subjects. *sigh* dammit...I'll get it right for VanCon!!

Just a few things.

First Jared did announce at his first Meet and Greet that he's not doing Asylum Birmingham or Manchester or Germany. He was a little taken aback when people in the room said that he was on the con websites and listed as attending. He stated quite clearly that he never signed on for any of those cons after committing to Rome and Brazil. He knew they (he and Gen) were pregnant and knew that he'd want to be spending his break from filming with the baby and his wife. He had already signed for Rome and Brazil before the pregnancy was confirmed so he honored his commitments there. Which frankly after hearing his story in the Meet and Greet about how he flew in late to Rome because  (and he swore Thomas planned it just like this), he was driving to the airport and Thomas was with them and he was smiling and watching Jared whenever he talked and he wasn't crying or pooping so Jared turned the car right around and rescheduled his flight for 24 hours later so he could have these moments with his son. Seriously - ADORABLE MUCH JARED? MAKE ME CRY I DARE YOU! So I was a little surprised (and subsequently quite grateful to him) he didn't cancel on Rome and Brazil after that story. But Jared never signed contracts for UK or Germany cons.

Secondly no one booed Misha - seriously. (If my eyes roll back any further in my head I'll rival Sam's skills). Jensen on his own, on stage today, asked the question about would we want to see Castiel come back - just off hand jokingly and he got a mixed response. That is all. He was a little surprised as he thought the Castiel love was unanimous. He got some nos! thrown in there with the yeahs! I don't know what the mix was (to be honest didn't really care - people are allowed an opinion fandom!) And just because they don't want Castiel back doesn't mean they are haters or hate Misha. It just means they have an opinion. For my part I am entirely neutral and just happy to see what way the show goes. I think Castiel has definitely added to the show but really any well cast guest star who recurs could have just as positive impact. Felicia Day could totally rock that recurring guest star role. Pretty sure, that whilst surprised, Jensen didn't feel that Misha was being disparaged in any way shape or form. Pretty sure Misha was sleeping whenever he wasn't doing anything...which is what Jason mentioned that morning in his Q&A...so I'm quite sure his fragile and delicate ego will survive this unconscionable attack on his self esteem.

There were a few things Jared said in his Meet and Greet that had my ears tuned quite intently to his words though, as they were not expected. But like I said I'll relate those at a later point when I've had a chance to transcribe my mental notes.

Oh and I have to say I rather enjoyed the ego check for Sebastian in the Richard/Mark/Sebastian panel when Richard did an impromptu scream-o-meter reading on the popularity status of the three angels, Balthazar, Gabriel and Lucifer. Balti was definitly third out of three much to Sebastian's surprise. Lucifer won by a landslide and Gabriel was second. Sebastion looked a little put out by this, and announced that this was a humbling moment for him and that his dick had just shrunk by about 10cm as a result. Mark Pellegrino just looked appropriately and serenely smug.

Right I'll start wading through and editing my pictures now. To be honest I was a little disappointed Jensen kept me from missing the start of the Jared/Misha panel damn him and his mesmerising voice and intelligent answers and stupid pretty face. It does mean my Sunday pictures are VERY Jensen heavy. Very few pics of Jared today.
