But first I have to agree, and add that by Dark Angel, he was crossing from beautiful to attractive (they're not the same thing in my world, and younger, he kind of fell into Uncanny Valley turf for me), and that in SPN, he's hit Dear Goodness, How is He So HOT? levels of appeal. It's the crinkles around the eyes and that lower lip thing he does. I can't explain beyond that.
He is utterly striking. I don't find myself attracted to him at all (except that I like to look at beautiful people), I think because he'll always be
that beautiful child
in my brain. I completely understand how/why he breaks other people, though. It's not like I don't get it. I do. I just seem sort of immune to it.
Then again, I still haven't watched SPN. Yet. I keep TiVoing it, but never getting a chance to watch.
ita meant Paddywack (thank you, whichever person first started calling Jared Padalecki that, for those of us who find spelling it hard), who played Dean on Gilmore Girls, and now plays Sam on SPN. It can get pretty Who's On First.
What got me more confused is that I thought Nutty said it, and then I scrolled back, and confirmed Nutty said something related, then scrolled back again, because I saw Nutty quoting back what I thought I'd confirmed Nutty said, then ita (who was not Nutty, the last time I checked) said she said the thing she said, and my brain died.
But not from the hotness of the Ackles.

He shorts out my brain in it. Unfrozen Caveman Fangirl is frightened and confused by this.
I had to watch the freaking pilot three times before I could say anything even remotely smart about it, and even then, I've mostly been sticking to talking about Sam. (Current word count on SPN pilot talk document? 1377. Current count on Yuletide fic? Umm. Way less than that. I'm cat vacuuming hard here.)
Can it have a setting for "do I have to choke a bitch"?
For that you need bacon.
Which mean it sucks to be you, Lee.
BACON

Kissing doesn't surprise me (though in Ancient China it was considered gross and kind of cannibalistic). You can have a lot of your cultural assumptions reset once you've read the personals in San Francisco. Somebody somewhere likes licking, nibbling or kissing some part of somebody else. Orality goes askew on a daily basis and some of it just stuck around as What The Cool Kids Do.
I'm unsurprised that Buffistas are so in touch with their inner Spock that they're all "Highly Illogical" about human behavior, but c'mon! Humans act on their emotions primarily and rationalize it afterwards. (I was just reading a Wall Street Journal article about this effect when the book
Cognitive Dissonance
was published in the fifities and how it was a huge influence on advertising and pyschology.)

I need to watch SPN on dvd for exactly this reason.
So I have a question. Is lavendar a grandma scent? Not sweet smelling lavendar, the tart one.
I've always heard it (and violet, which I would agree) as grandma scent. My grandmas smelled of Jean Nate, some outlawed soap (seriously, found it in Gramma's house and discovered it was a a toxic chemical and that was freaky!) or Chanel But I really like it. It's spicy.
This brought to you by me warming my feet in a bucket of water dosed with Dr. Bronner's lavendar soap. I HATE WINTER.
Oh, and wasn't today the day msbelle and mac met? Been with me all day. Holy crap!
Jared Padalecki is a friend of a friend. I wonder if he knows the "Paddywhack" thing.
Mr Jane and I actually got into that kissing conversation not too long ago. We tried to figure it out, but then it turned to porn.

Boy howdy, yes.
I mean, you saw the screencap Suela linked to in Boxed Set, right?
My Amazon order came today. All the Dark Angel novels.
I think Paul would have been less appalled had I ordered cheap porn.
