Sorry for the spam, but familial pride busting loose...

[stoney321]

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier. My brother-in-law, an all around terrific guy, and handsome to boot, is going to be on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition tonight. His construction crew built a 16,000 sq foot home in under 72 hours. Dude. He said it was the most tired he's ever been, but his whole purpose in becoming a builder was to build homes for people, not houses, so this was pretty awesome for him to be a part of.

He's about 6' 5" (we like them tree-like in our family), ridiculously handsome, with VERY broad shoulders, dark hair, tan, tan, tan. And scowling at the back of Ty Pennington, who is apparently an egotistical bastard and ONLY speaks to the families when it's being captured on film. [/sad]

It's a two hour special, with the "How'd They Do That?" tomorrow night. We're not sure where he'll be more prominently featured, but he was singled out an interviewed, as he is ridiculously handsome. And nice.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled nap. Or whatever. :-D [/pride and family love] And, um, it's the only family themed icon I have. Heh.

[ETA] Am watching. no sign of bro, but sign of his handiwork, heh. And for the record: I fucking hate Ty Pennington's white ass. (And the Code Talkers have me bawling. Inuncilo Peshtawah. -Brave Warriors.)

I read that as being 'Extreme Makeover' at first, but no, it's the house getting the do over and not your brother-in-law. Hey, how come he couldn't of given them a false address and made them come over and put another floor on your house for free?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

DAMMIT!! Why don't I know to consult you before EVERYTHING!! But I do have two floors, so to build onto that would just be ostentatious.

And he's real purdy, so he doesn't need a makeover. After being at the pool all day, I could sure use some help... *hides the frizzy hair under a cap of steel*

That's so cool *is proud about your brother-in-law too* As much as I moan about reality shows and WB cancelling Angel for the dumbest reason in the planet (well, next to "I didn't think anything would happen if I touched it"), that show gives me a warm glow whenever I watch it. They make a difference, and there should be more of that! (Of course, we don't get to see it at the same time as the rest of the world, so I'll just pretend that each episode has your brother-in-law on it - ok?)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I loathe reality shows, too. But I like the end result of this show, so... *shrugs*

No sign of Bro, yet, but they have commented on how fast his crew is, and in fact, he's known as running the fastest crew in the state of Arizona. *loves my family*

I owe you some clikcy clicky at your LJ for the pic/dad/rugby stuff.

[greenstone-j.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Irony much...? Don't worry about owing me clicky clicky, it felt damned good to moan, too often I just go "They suck" and leave it at that...Has he appeared yet?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

NO. *harumphs again*

We've (my sis and I) decided it was because he is so handsome, he'd give Ty a run for his money. I sneered up everytime Ty "emoted" sorrow for this poor family (Native American Indians - lost their daughter in Iraq. She was the first woman killed in combat *sob*) and made his voice break after hearing from two different people that he wouldn't make eye contact with them unless the director told him to.

[greenstone-j.livejournal.com]

I did wonder, considering what you said about Ty earlier, I think you and your sister called it right...he might have a clause in his contract, "No builders prettier than me will appear on the show"...*blinks* Wow, he must be a better actor than I originally thought...

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

hey sweets.

cool for your brother.

um, just saying hi and thinking about'cha.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hey!! And what's with the Um? Like you need an excuse to pop in anytime you want.

Sure wish you were hitching a ride with Smash....

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

"um" = general lack of articulateness I'm feeling today.

and general begging for hugs. :)

[slackerace.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm sad to hear that about Ty. He comes across as the kind of guy who would be awesome in person. Oh well. Not like my bubble hasn't been burst busted bursted popped before.

I shall watch and oogle your BIL. It will be as if I am oogling Stoney herself. And that thought just makes me all hot and stuff.

And although your family icon is ridiculously lame, I don't even have one, so I really can't criticize. But I did anyway. Because that's how I am.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oogle me!! Mmmmm. *preens*

So sorry to burst your bubble, but Ty is a jerk. Aaaaaaall about the face time. Won't socialize or even chat with the families he's so "helpful" to. But. At least the families are getting help, so I'll thank him for that much.

And let me tell you that my icon is BEAUTIFUL, and I made it for a fic you didn't read. Harumph. (seriously though: go read it - not smutty. The best I've written, IMO.)

*catwhistles and oogles you*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

And, um, that was supposed to be lighthearted. I re-read my comment and was afraid it came off bitter.

That you didn't like my icon.

And that you didn't read my fic.

O_O

Ha ha ha!! Monkey glare = hilarity.

[slackerace.livejournal.com]

Oh, I so totally got that you are extremely lame you were not serious about the icon/fic thing. Except for the part where, you know, you were. I shall attempt to read this fic that you say is your best. It's Connor and Dru ::shudder:: right? Something about family? Yeah, I saw you post it, but I am still in 2004, and therefore firmly with my feet in the Spike/Spuffy genre. My obsession love for the Spikeuffy will be that of which legends are made. Or something just as lame. Yeah, I know. I've really got to branch out, because I am missing lots of really well-written porn.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OMG. I am so awesome and you are supposed to RECOGNIZE that and say everything I say is WONDERFUL. Something must be WRONG WITH YOU.

And while I get totally hot watching S6, I'm not writing porn lately. I'm broken. Well, I write the funny smut parody fics (which you ALSO do not read, harumph) But the Connor/Dru fics are gen. No smut. That help you any? GODDAMIT, just go read it.

*is the boss of you*

[slackerace.livejournal.com]

You're broken? It's the religious right, isn't it? All of those Christian Conservatives. They got their hands on my Stoney. I'm so gonna kick some ass. Who's first?

Tom Delay?
George HW?
George W?
Kay Bailey Hutchinson?
Texas Board of Education?

This is why I could never live in Texas.

::goes off to dig out my "I <3 Ann Richards" button::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

And don't forget Kinky Friedman!! And Steve Martin!

Like I'd let some weirdo Christian Rightwing WingNut lay a hand on me. Psssshh.

And I'm staying put and enlisting outsiders to change my home state (and second true love behind Mr. S, and that's saying something) back to the outlaw, keep your gov't off my life state it used to be.

**loves Ann Richards liek whoa**

[somecandytalkin.livejournal.com]

Hey cool! I'll check it out!

And awwwww....to your family love icon. Their love is so umm....
I mean, awwww......

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HEEEEE!!

Texas cock. Always appropriate. Always.

Yup.

[somecandytalkin.livejournal.com]

Ya make a real nice icon, Missy.

[leeannaray.livejournal.com]

I like Carter Oosterhouse better anyway.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Bro said he was cool. And Constance is aptly named as she was "constantly" in the way. He married into our family, so he doesn't have the clever joke gene.

HEE!

[violethamster.livejournal.com]

Ty always got on my nerves on Trading Spaces. I'm a little vindicated at having my irrational hatred supported, while vastly sad for his empty soullessness, as the families deserve better than having to deal with that kind of crap. I say we hassle and stalk network executives until they hire your brother in law instead.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HEE!! It's like you've tapped into my phone when I'm talking to my sister. O_O Um, I have been referring to my pot 'S and PANS. *meep!*

They are just typical TV people with a hit show. I mentioned earlier that I was sickened by his behavior, but ultimately, the end result is something lovely, so I'll thank him for that much. That family last night had me in tears.

[hellespont.livejournal.com]

Coolness! My parents are obsessed with those reno reality shows, and I'll sure to tell her to watch for him.

He's about 6' 5" (we like them tree-like in our family), ridiculously handsome, with VERY broad shoulders, dark hair, tan, tan, tan.

Everything's bigger in Tex- When you say brother-in-law, you mean your husband's brother, not your sister's husband, right? Because I'm going to come down there and snap the boy up. He'll fit right in with my forest of a family.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Nope, so sorry, he is married to my older sister. I have no single boys available. Well, there's my younger brother, but he's REALLY young, so that's a no go. *sisterglare*

Heee!!

[mskakaako.livejournal.com]

I watched! I think I saw your BIL's shoulder!
That little girl was such a sweetie.
I just fell in love with her.
Also, Mr. Kako is very disappointed in Ty. For shame.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

That little girl was SO PRECIOUS!! The boy was breaking my heart, though, because he was old enough to remember Mama. *cries some more*

I like Mr. Kako even more.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

I missed this post until this morning! Did you ever catch a glimpse of your brother-in-law? Or did that guy Ty hog the spotlight all the time?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Nope, but we think it's because the greatness ofmy BIL would have overshadowed Ty. Ha ha!

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I didn't see him. Eddie's now heartbroken about Ty and says, "Thanks, Laura for crushing yet another one of my illusions!" He was a bitter, bitter man.

I want my Faith cd 'cuz I'm tired of all my other music. I would also like a nap, a pedicure and to get this box of salt water taffy off my desk. Damn, you salt water taffy with your exotic goodness!!!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

One thing you can be sure of: I will NEVER steal your salt water taffy. *loathes* But. I will steal anything chocolatey you have lying about.

I want a nap, a pedicure, and to not SWEAT. Stupid me waited until 9:30 to go walking. It's already 90 degrees and a million points on the humidity scale. *melts*

Tell Caza to suck it. And that I'm buying him a Darth Vader mug.

[captainofidiots.livejournal.com]

Woe! You've ruined the show for me! Now I'll I sit there and think to myself "Oh that Ty, what a jackass. Look at those fake tears. Fake, fake. I didn't know carpenters could act. Oh, look at those happy people, I hope somebody punches him. But he acts to nice. Why?!? That no good helicopter-hogger."

Ahem.

So I'll just have to give all of my love to Paul. Paul's nice, right? Right? :P
