Summary: AU. In Lima, Kurt Hummel scrunches up his nose as he peels off his grease-stained coveralls after a long day at the garage. In Westerville, Blaine Anderson sits on the bed of his childhood bedroom and stares at the luggage he hasn’t fully unpacked since he’s been back home, about four months ago. Tonight, they’re going to meet for the first time in a dive gay bar. The year is 2018, this is Ohio and adult life is nothing like either of them had imagined it would be.
Author’s Note : Huge thanks to my artist evinyakwende (please go to the Art Post and leave a comment on the gorgeous banner!). All remaining mistakes and typos are to be blamed on me, but much gratitude to BB, who proofread this story for me at the last minute because I couldn’t seem to stop tweaking it long enough to send a copy to secret_chord25 who was supposed to beta for me. (I’m sorry I didn’t get to work with you on this one! I was so concerned with sending you an unfinished version that I ended up too late to collaborate with you. :( Maybe next time!) Finally a big thank you to raving_pirates for all the work that went into organizing this challenge!

NB: All of these facts are dropped at one point or another in the story, so you don’t have to read them, but if you do you might feel a little less lost. AU: For the sake of the plot, Burt and Carole have broken up after “Theatricality”. Burt dies shortly after “Duet”, causing Kurt to miss a lot of school. When he comes back to McKinley, he has to quit Glee club for what remains of his junior year in order to make up for the time lost. Consequently, the situation with Karofsky doesn’t escalate past slushies, taunts and shoves; Kurt never meets Blaine and Kurt doesn’t go to New York with ND for Nationals. When Kurt turns 18, he inherits the house and the garage and decides to stay in Lima and keep his father’s business alive.

(  Oh. This is why I have skin. )

Something you like about your bedroom:
( I adore this. I saw it in the window of the art shop at the mall I work at for a whole month and looked at it longinly everyday. I was pretty bad off with depression in those days and this captured exactly what it felt like being trapped inside your own head and not being able to get out of bed in the morning. My best friend bought it to me as a Christmas gift. I see it every morning when I get up. :) )

( I'm not particularly talented at drawing, but I do love it. I couldn't choose so here, have three! More info under the cut. Beware, poor quality! )


Oh my god this was so painful to code @_@

Soooo. I've been home for about 4 days and now I come back to internetland and I have like 200 entries to catch up on on my friends page. Whoo hoo! I'm wading through, slowly but surely. ;)

I missed sunday night FFA at ontd_spnparty :(

I've been on a Grey's Anatomy marathon. In four days I've gone through S1, S2 and half of S3. It's a re-watch, I've seen everything up to the end of season 4. I was suprised to realize that I know most of S1 and S2 by heart. I didn't know I watched GA that much. I'm looking forward to re-watching S4. I only watched it once and I was under the influence of internet bitchfests so now I can watch it again with more distance. (Also I'm sort of in love with Owen. I loved Burke too. I'm totally stalking Cristina's men and it's funny 'cause there could NOT be a character I less identify with. haha) What I hate the most about Greys? The cast drama influencing the plot. FAIL. FAIL. FAIL. And it's not even just the one time. It happens over and over and over again.

On another show watching note, I converted on of my guy friend to SPN and we've finally reached the end of S3! \0/ (It's been almost a year since we started watching it, our schedules don't really match. haha)

Completely unrelated, but the trailer for Xavier Dolan's new movie just came on the tv.



Now I'm really looking forward to the eleventh! I wasn't sure if I was going to go see it because Dolan's boy genius attitude seriously gets on my nerves. (I heard he's really like that, I heard it's a character he plays, I heard it's only to mask the fact that he is really shy, I really don't care, there are other ways to present yourself *eyeroll*) But now I am intrigued.

I think that's it. :)

Oh! I might or might not be writing J2 fanfiction. More on that later. Maybe.

And omg, this post was so painful to write. My brain can't english right, je suis désolée.

I just finished watching Ten Inch Hero for the first time. I really liked it, I don't understand why this movie got so much hate. I paid big bucks for much flavourless romcoms at the movie theatre.

Now it's 5 am, I've got a bad crick in my neck and I'm off to bed. The morning birdies will sing me to sleep.

I've re-watched some early Supernatural season 4 this morning and I want to hate Sam so much. I understand his motivations, but why the lies. You break my heart, Sammy. What redeems him in my opinion (and I find it curious because I consciously adhere to no religion), is his earnest faith in angels and God. How excited and happy he is to learn of their actual, proved existence. He is thrilled at the idea that the angels are coming to help them. 

I hate when they give horoscopes on the radio. Actually I hate listening to the radio.  /random

I chose a new layout earlier this week, I was getting tired of the old one and found it too dark. Nothing fancy, but it might only be temporary. Also I need to find a new mood theme. *is still lj-stupid after 5 years*

Also, I need to start looking for a new job. The tip to paying off debts and saving money is... to actually earn some. (actually the only incentive I have right now to get a job is that I'll need money in september to buy Supernatural season 5 when it comes out on DVD. Yes, I know that's pretty sad.) Actually, I want to pay off my credit card and save at least 1000$ before I apply for university.  *hums "Dream On" by Depêche Mode*
After nearly 7 years of slaving away at a job I always hated, I did deserve a little time off, no? My friends and family's answer to that seems to be...  NO. haha.

RL is hard. *sigh*


If only a million sigh could turn into a tornado
And sweep away my troubles
...
A million and one.

Have a nice day everyone, I hope the sun is shining wherever you are. If not, grab your umbrella and make your own sunshine. :)

EDIT: I found a cool animated SPN mood theme! It's made by lidi and you can find it HERE

Seriously, what's going on with all the "uterus clenching" and the "exploding ovaries"? This a new trend or I've just never been exposed to it before? I read all sort of weird stuff but this squicks me. Hahaha what's wrong with me? Cute boys make me go "Awww!" or squirm or break out into a Lady Gaga song, but no part of my inner genitalia quivers or melt or anything. Urgh.

I guess I'm just pretty amused. :) I've been out of touch and don't know how to talk like the cool kids anymore. *dramatic sigh* :)
