My heart bleeded, girl

Show tonight!

I'm leaving at 7am tomorrow to go to Columbus to see Deathly Hallows with Erin and Ashley. Erin got tickets for the 11am showing. I can't wait!

Thanks to mini_nanowrimo, I'm working on five different stories at once: two Sam/Dean, one J2, one Hawaii 5-0, and one popslash. It's kind of fun, although weird, because I almost never work on more than one thing at a time.

My stepdad claims he has no idea how it happened, but he was mentioned in an article in USA Today about five vacations aging baby boomers can take to feel young again. He was probably mentioned because he worked for Grand Circle. I'll spare you the whole article.

5) European river cruise with fun yet vintage passengers

The adventure: A European river cruise with passengers whose average age is 72.

The premise: There's nothing to make an aging Baby Boomer feel positively dewy like running with an older crowd.

The particulars: Of the dozens of itineraries offered by Grand Circle Travel, the Great Rivers of Europe cruise is among the most popular. The 16-day trip goes from Amsterdam to Vienna on a private river vessel, with lots of stops en route to see castles, cathedrals and villages.

Grand Circle has been geared toward older travelers since its establishment by the founder of AARP. (It's now privately owned.) Demographics aside, this bunch can surprise. A few years back, 60 passengers, along with the captain, jumped off the ship into bracing waters at the confluence of the Main and Tauber rivers in Germany. Yes, vodka shots helped the timid build courage. Chris Trull of Fairfield Glade, Tenn., 83 when he took the plunge, described it as the "most crazy but overwhelming" experience ever.

I think his trip to Antarctica several years later probably surpassed that in both craziness and overwhelmingness.
