Dude!

[trinityofone]

siriaeve just dropped some knowledge on me: THE WINCHESTER GOSPELS ACTUALLY EXIST. Like really for real. It is trufax!

No word yet on whether Dean is full-frontal in them, though.

Today is my day off and I am supposed to be cleaning my apartment, finishing a fic I want to post tomorrow, and deciding whether I would rather work on a sequel to "Quarters" or to "Make the Man." Instead I am still in my pajamas, not doing any of those things.

However, I don't totally suck, because I met Jack Davenport yesterday and talked to him and sold him books and did NOT slip up and tell him I think he has the sexiest voice on the planet, even though he totally does. Go me?

One day, I knew my Master's in medieval history would come in useful! *proud*

It's just more evidence that this fandom NEEDS YOU. *nods eagerly and obnoxiously*

O_O

Now that I think about it, I may have actually seen those gospels at one point in my life, but I was 18, and Supernatural didn't actually exist at the time.

Dean full-frontal in an illuminated manuscript would be, um, illuminating.

Ah, but what would you do if it was Misha??

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I think if Misha came in (which, technically COULD HAPPEN—in my head, when he is not acting or tweeting or being The Puppet Master, the dude reads) I would actually die. Or momentarily cease to function. It would be very embarrassing.

Alternately, I would somehow manage to find it within myself to be cool as a cucumber (which is my usual thing) for the space of time in which he was physically in the store. THEN, once he left, I would die, etc.

Of course, I have not spent any time considering this possibility AT ALL.

I suspect this is not just in your head! (Er, and by that, I mean reality, not, like, in your head and my head and the heads of thousands of fangirls.)

When I worked at bookstores in college and afterwards I think the most exciting person we got was this well-known D.C. newscaster. But he rode a Harley and wore a leather jacket, so he was pretty cool anyway.

Oh, we also got Scientologists once. That almost started a riot.

I haven't seen the Winchester Gospels in person, yet. Clearly this should be my next research project, so I shall see about grants *nods*

Also, that is a totally awesome image, a 9th-century monk trying to copy out, like, a commentary on St. Gregory or whatever, and having his work constantly interrupted by naked, naked Dean Winchester.

I totally want to see naked!illuminatedmanuscript!Dean now. Maybe I should use one of my remaining co-op swap wishes?

I met Jack Davenport yesterday

OMG! Yes, go you for not DYING ON THE SPOT! I mean, you got to hear his voice in person, and he was talking to YOU. You lucky girl!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'm still sort of in shock, which is weird, because I see celebrities in there all the time. But JACK DAVENPORT...that was unexpected. I actually heard him first, asking my coworker a question, and I was like, "It CAN'T be..." And then I looked up, and it WAS. Eee.

Of course, when he politely and oh-so-silkily asked if it was all right if he added an additional book to his order, my oh-so-witty rejoinder was, quote, "No prob." So, you know: win some, lose some.

DUDE!!!! Why does your store get all the cool celebrities? (excluding my experience with Lucy Lawless)

Out of curiosity. What role of Jack Davenport's would closely resemble the way he actually speaks? ... I've just always had this little idea that in real life, he speaks differently than Steve from Coupling, and you CAN GIVE ME ANSWers now.

OMG, lucky you! And I am very impressed that you managed to talk at all - I would just squeak and possibly pass out.

Ohmygodohmygod Jack Davenport! My EXTREME ENVY, let me show you it. He is so adorable and awesome!

(I am extremely gleeful at the possibility of a sequel for either of those stories, although I think I would possibly prefer the Quarters simply for the fact that it's less likely to rip my heart out and stomp on it. I hope.)
