Visiting – Visiting Sam is the strangest part. Sometimes he can't even get out of the car; he just sits there and waits for Sam to come out of the building and walk right on by, never noticing him. It never fails to work.

See – He sees the deer half a second too late and spends three hours washing amber colored hairs out of the Impala's front fender

Noon – It's this weird Jesus town where they ring the Church bells twelve times at noon, and all he can think of is his little hand is his father's big one as they lower the casket into the ground, bells sounding in the background

Steady – It's weird because he loves her and all, but when Cassie introduces him to her friend as her "steady" he gets this pit in his stomach that won't go away

Workload – Sam's caught senioritis, and he's up working until two am nearly every night, which means he's up too because there's nothing he wouldn't do…

City – Dean can't get enough of Philadelphia. New York and Seattle were good too, but there is something in Philly that makes him practically giddy in delight. They stay there once or twice for a hunt, and Dean decides that if this ever ends and if it's all ever over, he'll buy himself a flat in the city of Brotherly Love

AIDS – His sleep patterns have been screwed up since a week long werewolf hunt in Tucson, so he and Sam are wired at four am, and they watch a documentary about children in Africa and AIDS. By the end of it, Dean has a funny feeling in his throat and wishes he could just sleep

Starving – He hates it when he hears people claim that they're starving, because he remembers no money and laying in bed, listening to his stomach growl

Alternative – One day when Sam announces that alternative is today's hard rock, he isn't sure who screams "Fuck no" louder – him or his father.

Fulfilled – Put a Glock in his right hand and a beer in the other and Sammy in the passenger seat and he's good to go

Read – Sam learns to read in the backseat of the Impala, inching his fingers under every letter of the exorcism bible as he makes out words; Dean's pleased as punch. (here's a secret: that old bible, dog eared with passages circled – that used to be Mary's)
