“That’s fantastic to hear, a birthday bash certainly sounds like it would be a good time and definitely the appropriate title. You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure! I think I just might, I’ll make that a goal of mine and mark it down so I have no choice but to do it. It’s always Pinterest isn’t it? Always where you’ll find that type of shit. I’ve only had gas station pizza once or twice but I think it’s sometimes better than pizza chains. They have breakfast sandwiches?!”

it was amazing, a lot of my friends and family were there, and i met another friend before all of that, it was amazing. haha, well, i definitely hope you do it then. i love pinterest for new recipes and ideas, i learned to make a garlic cheese bomb and twix cookies and my life has been forever changed. ooh, i recommend more. yes, if you go early you can get breakfast foods at some gas stations and it’s been so nice for me with my morning coffee.

[bringingthejoy]

“Well I would hope a lot of them were there, it’s not a party without friends or family after all! Nice! If I do, I’ll let you know if you like? Sometimes I use Pinterest for DIY ideas and like how I want my kitchen to look, things like that. Writing those down in my mind, saving them for later! Back in college, everyone that worked at a local gas station knew my name - morning, noon, and night I would go in there and they’ve certainly seen me at my worst.”

continued from here. 

to be completely honest with you, i have no idea, but i know it’s more than a year or two. so, so long that my old man brain can’t come up with an actual time. roll with the punches? what’s that all about? you okay? need some Ackles cuddles? those are free so you should accept them while they’re on offer. doing good, life is going swimmingly and i have no complaints at all. i mean, half the time i’m never home since i’m filming and directing a lot these days, but that’s life right? oh man, how old is she now? in her teens? when we’re both free, we should get her and JJ together for a play date or something. shopping? JJ loves shopping so if you daughter does too that could be fun for them. i think?

“I’m kind of glad you don’t know, I was actually afraid of what your answer would be because honestly it would just reveal my age.” She can’t help but snort laugh at that, smiling softly. “First of all your brain isn’t old, you’re certainly not old either. Yeah, well I’m just trying to go with the flow I guess and just deal with being a single mother. I’m pretty sure I’m okay but I’ll definitely take some Ackles cuddles while you’re here. I’m really happy to hear that! Life of an entertainer, yep. What are you working on? She’s getting to her teens yeah, like right before those terrible teens. That sounds like a wonderful idea, good thinking! You’re right about that, that that could be fun for them - she loves it yeah. Loves it or likes it I’m not sure which one.”

joylenz posted a story.

[bringingthejoy]

“Since it’s October, the beautiful spooky season, I have some questions and I’m honestly excited to see what you guys love and don’t love. All in for pumpkin spice or nada? Personally I’ve never seen the big appeal, all the freaking out. Favorite scary movie or series? Did you stop dressing up or do you still do as adults? Stance on kettle corn and caramel apples?” @hfrpstarters

Bethany can’t help her laughter, not that she’s laughing at her but just how brilliant and hilarious this all is. “Feel like I’m almost always exhausted, like my brain is melting so bravo on having enough energy and creativity to do this. Do you understand TikTok? because I do not understand TikTok.”

I usually just end up scrolling through my feed and watching videos for an insanely amount of time. I’m not sure if that constitutes as understanding TikTok though.

[bringingthejoy]

“That sounds way too familiar, that’s how I am on Instagram. Good point but personally I feel like it does but that’s just me. Are you excited for Thanksgiving?”

[calumhoodsx]

bringingthejoy​:

“I’m just reeling over what a beautiful name that is, it’s so special. That’s so sweet, good for her and for you being a good brother! Not all the time but I swear that it feels that way sometimes. Agreed, I was scared to name anyone but you’ve certainly helped calm my nerves. That’s understandable.”

my mum’s Maori, so she picked a traditional name for her first born. my dad’s scottish, so i got a family name from him. i think my sister won tbh. no one ever knows the correct pronunciation of mine and it’s not even complicated, yikes. i feel like being asked to name names is always awkward, tbh. especially if you don’t know them. my anxiety always spikes when i’m asked to do that honestly. do you think there’s ever going to be a OTH sequel with the cast returning?

[bringingthejoy]

“And that just makes it even more…there’s not a proper word for it, to describe it. Hey now, you have a pretty cool name and it’s not one that’s heard often which makes it better. Just to be safe, uncomplicated or not, I’m not even going to try because I could butcher it in a second. Out of curiosity, how many times are you asked those things? Great question and honestly? I don’t think so because it was all wrapped up so well, but never say never.”

[decrices41]

Currently in a hot country right now, playing and training in this heat is no joke. I will be returning home hopefully with a tan but I just know I’m going to burn, as my mother keeps texting me to put sun cream on. Holiday season upon us, I’m usually training in a hat and scarf but here I am running around in a shorts and vest tops. I still can’t believe I’m here if I’m honest, dreams really do come true, and to do it with my best mate I’ve been friends with since seven is even better. But with the holidays coming up I do hope we go all the way so I don’t have to do any Christmas shopping for the family, winning the tournament can be the gift it’s a perfectly acceptable gift right? Anyway, I’m Dec nice to meet you. @hfrpstarters​

[bringingthejoy]

“Am I right to guess….. soccer? I would imagine it can literally be life or death at times and I know that’s a bit morbid but with staying hydrated and working so hard….

And here I go sounding like a mother, have you been wearing any sun cream? Sorry sorry! What hot country is it if you don’t mind sharing? That’s incredible that you get to do this with them, it must bring you all the more closer. The best gift in my humble opinion. I’m Bethany Joy, it’s a pleasure to meet you Dec.”

[scrchdrew1-deactivated20240125]

“Now that you mention it, it honestly does - I mean I knew we always clicked but I could never exactly put my finger on why, y’know? I’m one of the lucky ones, I get to know all of you and I don’t have to write any letters. Seriously though, glad of provided distraction from chaos. Ohh, the Jaws theme is playing in my head right now but in a good way! I’m so happy you had fun and thank you, I appreciate you willing to share everything. Oh I think I forgot to ask and if I did I’m sorry, how’s the family?”

I am just grateful for friendships like that, I have always appreciated them and getting to share things with others like that makes it full circle for me.  HaHaHa!  I think we are the lucky ones.  I am still sad you, Matthew, Camilla, the rest of the cast, and I did not get to hang out in between scenes yet I understand the reasoning behind it.  I know we would have had a great time with singing and happy vibes for sure.   Oh gosh, of all themes I am sad to know that is the one playing in your head.  You got the texts I sent you with the info, right?  The family is wonderful.  I am actually in Arizona working right now before I head off to Nashville to present at the CMA Awards on Wednesday.  Where in the world are you?  

[bringingthejoy]

“Friendships are golden, friendships like ours anyway - I’m rambling and there was a point somewhere in here which is…… I’m so so lucky and blessed to have you in my life. Trust me girl, I’m sad about it too - there’s sleepless nights where so many things are going through my head and then in it pops - the set hang out that could have been. We would have been insane and raised the roof! So am I but probably for a different reason then yours. Yes, but I have to fully check it out later! Booked and busy, look at you go - are you excited to be presenting? I’m actually planning to go back home for Thanksgiving this year so I’m trying to make sure I have everything ready but right now I’m home.”

“People never understand anything until you tell them so probably not but it’s good to know, it’s good to learn! Seeing the spooky decorations are the best, it’s amazing what people can come up with. I was gonna go with Clarice but I’m going with a real person this time, it’s a surprise though. What about you? I’m Bethany Joy, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”

I just am always afraid of scaring someone with telling them how much I love Halloween. What if they run away? I don’t want people running away from me. Are you talking about Clarice from Silence of the Lambs? Because if so, I love that. The pleasure is all mine, Bethany Joy! Did you do anything for Halloween night? 

[bringingthejoy]

“That’s understandable. Do you really think someone would run away from you? I mean, you’re totally awesome and that’s just from only meeting you now. Yes, yep! I passed out candy, went out and waited an hour for frozen custard, then watched scary movies with all the lights off and ate the last of the Halloween candy. What about you and your Halloween night?”

[kvrinas1]

bringingthejoy​:

“I have no clue if this is obscure and or random enough but everywhere I go I like to collect vintage postcards and sometimes vintage stamps if there aren’t postcards to be found. I like seeing the dates on them, the names, then I’ll head to the library and see if I can find any public records that date back that far. I can understand that, the weird things that make something go off in your head - but honestly yours is pretty awesome in my opinion.”

I think that’s really cute, though! I love little vintage trinkets like that because each one of them tells a story and they’re a little piece of history. I’m a huge history nerd so those things really excite me. I might honestly start doing the same whenever I go travel again. Plus, it’s nice that you try to go find public records because most people wouldn’t! Hey, I totally appreciate it! Most would think this kinda interest is boring.

[bringingthejoy]

“Thank you so much! Exactly, exactly, not many people think of everything behind something or maybe even the person who used to own whatever it was before. Does that make sense? What made you love history so much? I think you should but that’s just my opinion. I think so too, that’s part of why I love it so much! Of course, it’s my absolute pleasure.”

[bringingthejoy]

(from @acklesx ): if it isn't one of my favorite One Tree Hill ladies. it's been a long time, Joy. how've you been? how's the little one doing? not so little anymore, huh?

( @acklesx )

“OH MY GOODNESS! It has been a long time, yeah, god how long has it been? I’ve been pretty good, I’m just trying to go with the flow and y’know roll with the punches. What about you? How are you and the family?

She’s doing good, as precious and adorable as always but definitely not little anymore, that’s for sure.”

LIVE ON TOUR!

[numberoneneganapologist]

Today’s one of those days where I realized I need to watch my mouth around my kids… I mean, I’m not gonna, but it was one of those days. My little girl threw a big ass fit over Halloween candy. I wasn’t mad, I know that kids have a lot of emotions they don’t know how to handle yet so I was gonna let her get it all out and I said, “Dad’s gonna go make lunch, so when you’re feeling better, you come have some, too, and then we can pick out a few pieces of that candy to eat,” I thought that was pretty reasonable, right? She came back at me with, “Daddy, you’re so bowl of shit,” and I’m not gonna lie - I laughed. And on the bright side, that really lightened the mood. Maybe I don’t need to watch my mouth, maybe I just need to teach her to be better at swearing. And don’t worry - over lunch, we talked about how it’s sometimes okay to say SHIT if we’re really angry, but it’s never okay to try to hurt someone’s feelings. Goddamn. Not too shabby. @hfrpstarters​ 

[bringingthejoy]

“I try and practice that around other people’s kids, though all bets are off when I’m drunk and - I’m just gonna shut up now. That was definitely reasonable yeah, a great parenting move right there which I mean genuinely by the way. Oh my goodness, that sounds like she’s taking after her mother in the sass department - this has Hilarie written all over it as far as responses go. Happy that it lightened the mood, anything like that is bound to!

Look at you go, being a superhero parent but that’s really no surprise - you’re a wonderful father. Oh please, I wasn’t worried for a second, I’ve just been amused this whole time. Besides tantrums and Halloween candy, how have you been doing?”

[keithduffy-hf]

bringingthejoy​:

“Agreed. Yeah. Okay so I think it was when I was five or six, there were tons of rocks in this wheelbarrow and I ran to check them out - grabbed as many as I could. With my tiny little T. rex arms, this random girl was standing next to me and wanting to spread the joy, I threw them all up in the air and accidentally hit her in the face. And my face.”

I bet thinking back, you are like I should have know that would happen. At that age, I don’t think a child would think of that. I know I probably wouldn’t have.

[bringingthejoy]

“Oh yeah, that was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done in my life and it didn’t matter that I was a little kid. That’s true and I’m a testament to that, I was gonna say poster child but that seemed too far.”

I’m glad to hear you’re an honest critic. I’m working on my second cookbook and will have a lot of thing for you to test out. At times I wish they didn’t make sequels. I may come out with my on fashion line if it catches on.

[bringingthejoy]

“Well I do try my best. That’s fantastic, one of my favorite things is being a taste tester…. wait, did I already say that? If I did, I am so sorry. I can understand that and you totally should, I feel like I would be the first in line for that.”

[valuzas]

bringingthejoy​:

“Interesting! Oh cool, which one? I dressed up as a real person this go around, tried to have people guess it but I’m pretty sure no one could.”

a real person? i need to ask who you dressed up as. i didn’t have a chance to see pictures of your costume.

[bringingthejoy]

“Yep! I would tease and be cryptic but I don’t seem to have enough energy for that. Yeah, that’s my own fault - I should have shared but it slipped my mind.”
