Limitless Ramblings

Hi there!!!

Maxii here, or Stephanie as I'm known on Stalkbook. (Facebook for those that aren't hip with the new lingo) You've probably seen me around commenting on most of Lauren's stuff, especially her yummy pictures. Mmm Karl Urban.

Posting is a little early today.. well not nearing 5 mins to the deadline, I guess because I work later and there are 4 pretty fires threatening to burn my city down. I think someone gave Lauren matches and she went a little nuts. Bad girl.

To tell you the truth I'm not an avid blogger. I'm a writer, so my posts (how few) over at my blog, Harmonized Insanity, consist of writing talk and fics. (What? I learnt all the plugging from Jordan!)

Today's topic is about the show Supernatural and my favorite recent obsession Angels.


Supernatural is a show on the CW about two brothers, who battle everything you're littl mythology and urban lore brain can think of. Vampires, werewolves, wendigos, Rugaroos, spirits, demons and most recently angels have been added to the mix.

I do believe Dean says it best about the appearence of angels in the show.

The angels are far from what most people imagine: comforting men (so to speak) with a harp in hand, creations of God perched on our shoulder to be at our whim when needed. Instead they are true warriors, fierce proud soldiers bent on preventing the next apocolypse, and they will do anything, sacrficing anyone to meet their goals.

The most forefront angel is Castiel:


Castiel is the angel who pulled Dean from hell, and is the one who interacts with the brothers the most. Castiel is the obedient solider, following orders to the letter, never questioning. But as he spends time with the boys he realizes that something is wrong and he begins to have doubts, to question the orders. He turns from a mindless drone into something with a concious...

The angels, who inhabit bodies beacuse their true form blinds us humans, are even willing to start a civil war among themsevles (much like the first fall) to achieve their goals. What starts as mindless beings obeying orders becomes a war among everyone as they feel, and learn what it's like to be human and they are plauged by the same tempations we are met with every day.

As the book of Revelations starts to unfold in the series, and the brothers play a part to either prevent or perhaps indirectly help push it forward, the angels are there. A glowing force no longer just behind the curtain but now center stage.

And every Thursday I'll be there, hacking the internet from the cold city of Moscow, watching for my pretty angel. Shallow, I know, but the prospect of angels, mixed with pretty boys are too much for me to resist.


Goddess Maxii, out.

P.S. Someone tell Lauren to hurry up and get back. I'm so lonely at night. I need my no-sleeping-at-night buddy back!

Then you may or may not appreciate this, but I know I do! :D



Jolls out!

Greetings!
It is I, Jordan (aka theJollity aka Jolls), taking Lauren's place as your Limitless Rambling blogger for today.
She's on a camping trip, so you're going to get four days (count'em four days) worth of guest bloggers! Brace yourselves.

I really should have asked Lauren if she wanted me to blog about anything specific, because right now, I don't know exactly what to say. I would have posted a review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I just saw, but instead I stuck it in my own blog, which I will undoubtedly plug in this entry, like I just did. Heee.

I'm on vacation myself!
I've been in Texas for the past month, livin' it up with my dad, who lives and works here. Whenever summer arrives, I always look forward to going somewhere new, be it a new state or country. I do love to travel, just to be able to get away from home for a while and live it up someplace else. And when I'm not vacationing in Texas and elsewhere, I spend my days in sunny Southern California, which I'm oddly starting to miss.

I'll admit, I haven't actually experienced much of SoCal, especially for having lived there for about 9 years already. I haven't been to Yosemite or Lake Tahoe, I haven't been aboard the Queen Mary or experienced the famed and notorious night life of Los Angeles or even Long Beach. I suppose the latter has been due to my rather strict parents, and the fact that I'm not yet 21 (the magical age). I did, however, get to attend Anime Expo and Comic-Con two years ago, some of the best-known conventions in Southern California, and I took a road trip with my family and my cousin's family up the California coast.

I miss the beach.
Which is odd, because I don't normally even go to the beach.

If you're like me and you're enamored with travelling, it could be easy to take your own location for granted. I live in a nice little suburb, so it's very easy to forget just how many things I have access to. Here in Texas we live in a suburb too, but we take the time to look up what's here and take trips to visit them and have fun. It only recently hit me that I don't do that at home. And why not? Just because it's where I hang my hat?

With this realization, I'm planning to change that.

I've got cousins and friends, and if they're willing to go with me, then hell, I'll plan all sorts of trips and get them all to go! After all, what's a good trip without good company? Not a good trip at all, in my opinion.



I'm going back home in about a week.
It saddens me to leave my dad, but we're actually driving back, stopping at a friend's house along the way. So that's yet another adventure.
And after that, I can start my own adventures—right at home.


Jolls out!
