The Sweet Charity auction started today! They're raising money for Invisible Children, so you might want to go over and see what's available. (spoiler -- many awesome things! I've already bid twice.)

I'm offering a short slash story of at least 3000 words, officially either Sam/Dean, j2, or bandom (mcr, patd), but honestly, I'd be willing to take a shot at any fandom I've written in before. No het, non-con, hardcore kink or death fic, though. And hey, the more AU the prompt, the better. :D

This is the auction page.


So. Last night G and I are watching the Bears game in our bedroom, and Kid 2 wanders down all sleepy and cute and awake so we bundle her up and put her on the bed with us to watch the half-time report. And the big story is that Springsteen is going to do the half-time show at the Super Bowl, and there's a whole montage of recent Bruce tossing himself into the crowd and Van Zandt wearing his do-rag and playing his guitar and they're all being rock-star-like and singing 'born to run' and I'm thinking, "Yes. Bruce, you still have it. You are still cool."

And then, from the pile of pillows and blankets next to me, a voice sighs, dripping with all the world-weary ennui a seven-year-old can muster, and says, "Old people singing a song."

THANK YOU, sweet-pea, for that reminder of my mortality. I think G and I were hysterical for ten minutes.

Enjoy your Monday. :D

We laughed so HARD. And she was laughing, too, but like, "What's so funny?" She's awesome. :D

We were highly amused. And depressed. :D

*giggles* I love kids' reactions to music sometimes.

And you're already up to more than $55!!!!! I think you'll end up being waaaaaay out of my budget!

It was too funny -- and she was so cute about it! Like they were the most boring thing she's ever had to watch. :D:D

(wow, I didn't think about the exchange rate -- that's mind-boggling. *g* I wonder if the fact that the economy is IMPLODING will hurt auction totals. heh.)

I think the economy disasters will definitely affect the US bidders at least. I know I'm thinking twice about bidding. I'm attempting (as always) to win the Chai Kit, but otherwise I'm aiming for fic. And at the very least, I';; donate $25. I figure something is better than nothing. =)

Hee hee! My oldest nephew, who's five, has come up with some good ones. There's just no filter between mouth and brain at that age and it keeps us from getting too jaded, thank goodness!
