If you haven’t read about this week’s episode of Supernatural, you need to right now or just be super surprised when you watch it on tv/online - whatever!
SPOILERS AHEAD.
Blah, blah, blah. Writing so that people don’t see this as they’re scrolling through their dashboards. Dean has a daughter now. Yeah, you read right. On a related note, we’re happy to see the return of The Vampire Diaries’ Sara Canning to our screens - no longer as Awesome Aunt Jenna, but instead as Dean Winchester’s “work-out partner”, Lydia.
But what’s this? He calls her the morning after and she’s not interested? She’s too busy?! Who is this woman and what’s her deal?
I can tell you right now, Dean gets a good idea of what her deal is when a teenage girl turns up on his doorstep three days later..
“… tune in this Friday Feb. 3 to see her end Dean’s considerably long dry spell. It’s a rough job, but somebody’s got to do it.”

Whoaaahohoah! Check out A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness and Paget Brewster behind-the-scenes of a shoot with CBS Magazine.
The Criminal Minds ladies are looking absolutely stunning here. Can’t wait to see the end results.
Girl from my highschool’s reply to Part I: I’m happy that they can come here and be safe, I just dont like it when I hear that it is now offensive to say merry christmas etc. Like I said im happy they can find happiness here, I just dont want our country to change. I appriciate your opinion.
My response (still attempting to stay calm): Wishing people a merry Christmas isn’t being banned or even frowned upon. People are just being made aware that, because of Australia’s varied population, not everyone celebrates Christmas. It’s simply showing consideration to the many other cultures that exist amongst the Christians in Australia.
This is a country of acceptance and multiculturalism. Or, at least, it’s supposed to be. Unfortunately, there are still people who wish to demand that people who come here - for whatever reasons - abandon their identities; their beliefs, their images, their traditions and their customs.
It’s a basic human right to allow people to express themselves and have a voice. If that means wearing what they please, then an unfortunate number of girls are already making use of it by continuing to wear shorts that show their butts. We have no right to determine what people wear, and we have even less right to say someone isn’t allowed to wear their own traditional clothing. It’s rude, offensive and wrong.
Our country is constantly changing. The world is constantly changing. They’re going to continue doing so regardless of your opinion that entails other’s changing so that you don’t have to.
Her: I understand what you are saying. People’s opinions are completely different and that is good. we need that, if we didnt the world would be very boring and everyone would be the same
Me: Yep, you’re right on that one.
Girl from my highschool’s Facebook status: We are told we cannot celebrate Christmas in our schools because other cultures here in Australia find it offensive, and now Australia Day is being torn apart by saying its racist to fly our Australian flag on Australia Day.. IF ITS SO RACIST FOR US TO FLY A FLAG HOW IS IT NOT RACIST FOR THEM TO BELIEVE IN THEIR COUNTRIES… TAKE THE TURBAN OFF… GET RID OF THE BURQUA… WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU CAME FROM, STOP TRYING TO TURN OUR COUNTRY INTO YOURS… you came here to A.u.s.t.r.a.l.i.a… enjoy our way, our laws, our culture, our language, or get the FUCK out. Sharing our country doesnt mean changing our traditions. And you call US racist?? REPOST IF YOU AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [8 people like this]
Same girl’s comment on the above status: I understand that some people strongly disagree with this, and that is fine. This is just my option. I dont mind that other cultures come to Australia, its only when they try and change our ways it pisses me off [4 people like this]
My attempt at a calm response: Just so you know, the survey you’re referring to actually asked many people who were flying an Australian flag on their cars nearing an Australian holiday questions that proved, according to that survey and the public experiment, that those people did agree with many racist beliefs, such as the ‘White Australia’ policy. It wasn’t calling all flag-flyers racist.
Also, I’m pretty sure that women wearing burqas, or people wearing turbans, aren’t on some great mission to make Australia just like the countries their families originally came from; families that often fled those countries and sought refuge here to stay safe and alive.
Oh, and thank you for recognising that it’s fine for some people to disagree with this. I won’t ever be able to recognise that your view as valid.
I have loved bonsai trees for as long as I can remember and for a few years now, I’ve had this dream of growing a bonsai fruit orchard. I thought it was on my list, which is probably why I never ended up adding it.. ? Haha. Well, I’ve added it now and have finally got the plan underway!
Say hello to my three avocado seeds!
It’s not a part of my orchard, but I’m also starting to work on a jacaranda tree, which is currently a tiny shoot in the back garden.
It’s all very exciting - well, to me at least. :)
Look, I don’t know everything, obviously, but I do know that if people put more importance on this world and this life, then maybe they would take better care of both.
Amber Heard on being an atheist (Dazed & Confused, Vol II #66).
now, i’m thankful that i can say, i don’t look a thing like this poor girl right now. i do, however, have a variety of bloody scratches and blossoming purple bruises all over my leg thanks to my sister’s lovely dog and her inability to catch sight of her own kind without completely freaking out.
in the process of wearing my battle wounds, i’ve discovered that i’m somewhat taken by them. i’m almost proud to have them, though i don’t have them for any admirable reason. i think it may come from a sense of.. rightness; a feeling that my body should have some small show of evidence that points to what i’m often holding within.
sometimes i feel that, if i were to be beaten to an ugly, bloody pulp, i would finally see reflected in the mirror what it is that i have inside.
that said, i’d rather not be beaten to said pulp! so i’ll take the puppy wounds and my somewhat concerning attachment, thanks.
Last seen - London area.
When - Not for a bit.

Completely obsessed with owning this cat.
It’s a Blue Bi-Colour Ragdoll and I just would really, really like one.
I don’t even understand. I’ve never even liked cats that much but this one, it just really speaks to me, guys!
Gah, this obsession is taking over my life. But look how beautiful they are!
Now if only I had $800+..
The highlight of my days.
So, our beloved Nanny, Fran Drescher, believes that she was abducted by aliens when she was in junior high.
Her proof of this is not only her unwavering belief but also the small scar on her hand - an identical scar can be found in the same place on her ex-husband’s hand, whom shares the belief that he, too, was abducted by aliens as a junior high student.
“You know, it’s funny because Peter and I both saw [aliens] before we knew each other, doing the same thing, driving on the road with our dads. We were both in junior high.
“We realized that we had the same experience. I think that somehow we were programmed to meet. We both have this scar. It’s the exact same scar on the exact same spot.”
When Peter Marc Jacobson denies any such experience, Fran has this to defend her story:
“I said to him, that’s what the aliens programmed us to think… but really, that’s where the chip is.”
I just don’t know what to say.
(I still love you though, Fran. Aliens or none, you can do no wrong by me.)
