I used to be a lot less grumpy, just look at the old photos

*pouts* Am more than a little disappointed about the announcement of the new round for spn_cinema; due to being in the middle of arting for the spn_j2_bigbang there is no way I'll be able to participate. That's another challenge that I've been with from the start changing its schedule. I was so looking forward to it back in March. This is gonna take a while to deal with. *huffs and puffs* Luckily I have plenty of things to keep my mind off. (Not all good, but at least they'll stop me from mulling; it kept me up all night, hrmpf.)

I know I already did a touristy picspam yesterday, but I went through old family albums and I just have to share some cute vacation photos from the seventies. Back then we'd alternate summertrips to France and Danmark. My brother and I were adorable in black and white *grins*. One of the photos I found with my mom in Legoland reminded me of a trip I made with that brother when we were in our twenties. Spot the difference....

Aahw, tiny J (me!) in 1976 (French campsite) and together with my brother in Danmark in 1977.
We're standing in front of one of the Runic Stones in Jelling.


Also in 1977 my dad experimented with coloured photos (he had his own darkroom at home).
On the left my mom and us in Legoland, Danmark; 17 years later my brother and I traveled through the USA by Greyhound bus and visited the real Mount Rushmore. \o/

*stares at date* *calculates* That's 20 years ago. Djeebus.

Haha! - J.

P.S. I didn't mean to be a buzzkill on the love meme, but as I told someone on Twitter today: I rather have people comment on my LJ posts once in a while;) #notverysubtlehint

Oh no, I didn't realize the timing of that! (cinema) I know I skipped the last one because I was already writing a couple of things. :-( I'm so sorry you have to miss it. How many bangs are you doing?

I claimed one fic for this year's BigBang; I'll be making multiple paperpieces. I'm also working on something for the smpc anniversary on May 31 (don't tell anyone yet;) and there are two authors who I've planned to collaborate with on non-challenge fics.

Even if I only had the BB project I couldn't do another challenge in that same timeframe. (I know from experience it's just too much to divide my time between different projects).
I was all ready to claim a film for the original schedule from March to May. I could have even done another one of those genre-challenges they meant to put up bimonthly, but those were apparently disregarded too. It makes me very sad to have to watch from the sidelines after so many years.

Aww, those pictures are adorable. <3

You're apparently not the only one who's not happy about the dates. They just posted a poll about it, did you see?

Thankies:)

I saw; I'm off to bed now, maybe I'll know if/what I want to respond after I've slept on it. (Right now I feel this was already discussed back in March *sighs*)
