An unknown? I like that.

Okay, a mostly unknown, of the hi-I'm-not-on-anyone's-radar-to-play-this-"iconic"-character. He used the word iconic quite a bit. And "weird." Heh, I think I'm going to like him quite a bit. He's less than a year older than I am too, which is interesting.

So...picspam! )

I think I am going to die of impatient waiting before 1735 British-time tomorrow. And I have to work the mid shift overnight with a Zulu time (GMT) clock torturing me.

I'm still holding out hope for Rachel Weisz. Don't break my dreams.

I am: bouncy bouncy
A Passing Fancy

I haven't said anything in like...uh, actually lets not go into how long it's been since I said anything. Series 4 of Doctor Who had just started, I hadn't visited Colorado (multiple times), I hadn't been promoted, I had only heard of this "Twilight" thing as a vague concept of Something With Which I Should Not Become Involved, and I wasn't yet going COMPLETELY BATSHIT INSANE.

That was me not going into it. Ahem. Anyhow, [info]anr sent me an actual message pleading for entrance to [info]svu_rpf -- though why anyone would want it, I don't know -- and I clicked on over to LJ to approve the request. Stupid mistake. No, no...not the approval; should've done that ages ago (and my apologies for not having done it sooner). But now I've been surfing around LJ for several hours listening to the Twilight Soundtrack and being aimless. What? Don't judge me.

I figured I should say something about [insert David Tennant spoilers here], or maybe how ungodly hot and completely improbably a Cedric/Barty Jr. fic would be. I said don't judge me.

Yep, sure is December outside.

I am: whimsical whimsical
I hear: Collective Soul - Tremble for My Beloved
On music, Ood, and gleeful things.

So I actually read some reactions to "Planet of the Ood" before I sat down to write my own, and I'm not going to contribute to the discussions because I don't want to start a fight. I'm in an agressive mood and I'd probably end up really wanky or something. I am however going to discuss music and Doctor Who, and also how awesome the Ood/Donna/the Doctor/that guy from Notting Hill are.

Mostly I'm just going to ramble about music again.

Since I'm listening to the song as we speak... )

Superficial Stuff )

I am: mischievous mischievous
I hear: Murray Gold - Doomsday

OMG THE SIX FEET UNDER EATED MY BRAINZ!!!11!

In other news, Six Feet Under is an amazing show and I can't believe I've waited this long to discover it. Done with the first season and seriously angry that I didn't buy more than the first two when they were on sale at Best Buy last week.

Torchwood

I still haven't seen the finale, however I stumbled across an entry of [info]rm's via [info]metafandom and through there got links to various excellent rec sites for Torchwood fic (del.icio.us is awesome). Through those I discovered [info]copperbadge's Trying to Communicate.

My life is now complete.

I am: in hysterics in hysterics
I hear: Space Monkeys - Acid House Killed Rock And Roll
obligatory Doctor Who reaction post. a day late and a doctor short.

Lately I've been stuck laughing at the "I has a bucket! Noooo they be stealing my bucket!" elephant seal Lolcat. First of all, NO, I have no idea why it's so funny. It just tends to send me into hysterics and at work we get very giggly around three or four in the morning and I start saying things like "I has a chair. Nooo they be stealing my chair!" and for some reason it is hilarious. I think it might be the caffeine and the whole mid shift thing.

Anyway, point of that is that sometimes I want to make a Lolcat-type thing with the Doctor and Rose hugging on one side and Pete grabbing her from the end of Doomsday on the other side. It would of course say "I has a companion! Nooo they be stealing my companion!"

Meh, the market for that humor might be a little small.

Partners in Crime )Skip tl;dr and go straight to That Stuff. )

I really want to go to bed, but I have to stay up all day to switch back to the day schedule for a couple days for a class, then try to switch back to mids for regular work again. Urg.

Also, a mix CD of Billie Piper after 12 hours of work is amazingly cheerful and adds a boost of happy to leaving work. Also, additional happy from breaking all my co-workers' brains with it, especially when they won't. Shut-up. About. World of Warcraft. All my co-workers are males, by the way.

I am: exhausted exhausted
I hear: Morcheeba - Coming Down Gently
omgsoimpatient

[bounces impatiently]

Where's Doctor Who? You'd think a file of the episode would have been stuck up on a torrent by now.

[bounces more impatiently]

...

C'mon! I have to go to work soon and I wanted to have the download done when I got home tomorrow so I could watch it before I crashed the hell out. Don't let me down, crazy/wonderful/nerdy/enthusiastic fandom.

ETA: mininova for the win!

So over the last couple weeks I've been reading the building wankstorm of:

ZOMG RADICAL FEMINIST YO! vs. Feminism is good, but chill out vs. holy fuck, calm down, you crazy people

It's been kind of amusing, so naturally I have things to say. Also, I may or may not have just made a comment in one of the debates. So here's my obligatory entry.

Radical feminists? So losing this battle. )

Strangely enough, this has made me curl up into a little het-defensive ball on the floor. The kind that screams "LEAVE MY DOCTOR/ROSE SQUEE ALONE!!!"

I know they're my OTP, but this is vaguely embarassing. And also mildly confusing, as slash is the target and not het.

...

Wait, so you're saying any attack on any radical-feminist-approved-sexuality is an attack on my sexuality? Well, SHIT!

Also, I think this undermines me from the start, but I'm giving in to the temptation here and now to call these radical feminists cheesy stupidheads that like to eat their own farts. I feel this is the level upon which they've engaged me, so I welcome their return volley.

ETA:
To break slash down for the people that dun ge't:
1 penis + 1 penis = 2 much fun!

ya fun!

EETA:

BUNNY IS WIN!

Alcohol and Me: a short story of love and drunkity-drunk-drunk

So here's St. Patty's day and me, the semi-alcoholic, does not have a drink in her hand? I should fix that.

Beer. And it's German. )

And that's my love affair with alcohol.

I have somehow started work on two fanmixes and am contemplating signing up for what could be the last Multiverse Crossover Challenge. Plus this is entry three in less than a week? Oh yeah, I'm so totally back...and LJ promptly explodes from too much SUP.

I am: cheerful cheerful
I hear: The Weepies - World Spins Madly On
fandom tag-team

[cringes] Why did I have to find the fangirly squee of "OMG BILLIEEEEEEE AND DAAAAAAAAVID!!!!!!11!!1" And I spotted an icon I made two years ago. Funny thing is that I know there are reasonable people hiding in T&C somewhere...

[backs out of the fandom slowly]

...

So, I hear this "Dexter" thing is pretty awesome.

I am: disappointed disappointed
I hear: Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds (Dfa Mix)
So what if I ramble?

Went to the Caribbean for a week on a cruise. That was nice. Didn't start hanging out with the cool people (read: the crew) till the last night there. Damn. Met a very nice stowaway, brother of one of the waitresses. I say "very nice" because I convinced him to talk to me for two hours just because he had the most adorable Scottish accent. Also, we were both drinking heavily and had the most delightful conversations about politics. Hearing Bush cussed out by a drunken Scottish guy is hilarious.

Anyway, HELLO!

I made the mistake of actually reading my flist today, for there was [info]who_daily with the usual, except I haven't been online regularly in forever and have now read spoilers.

Well, shit. )

I am: bouncy bouncy
I hear: Bloc Party - This Modern Love

Torchwood is going to kill me.

Spoilers? )

I am: sore sore
I hear: Death From Above 1979 - Sexy Results
Watch me geek-out

I am getting seriously excited about the new Star Trek movie.

I just wanted to share that. And I might have to change this icon.

Cut for rambling and spoilers. )

I hear: Broken Social Scene - Fire Eye'd Boy

[sporfles]

Brokeback to the Future. I love it. Unhealthy amounts of love. YouTube is the best thing on the internet.

Except for porn.

I am: giggly giggly
Doctor Who: Come Out of the Shade

I...wrote something. [is surprised] It's a rather stupid Whofic, but it's deeper than what I've been doing lately. Satellites are cool, yo, but they're not exactly for the literary-inclined. Maybe if I write more it'll make me come back to the fantastic and wide world of The Intarweb.

Title: Come Out of the Shade
Author: duck
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Uh, Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose if you really wanna read it that way.
Author Notes: Named for the Perishers song of the same name. Cause yeah, it might be something that felt a lot like but wasn’t love. Un-betaed because I haven’t written anything in such a long time that it’s really just me stretching my fingers over a keyboard. Oh yeah, duck your head, as there are a lot of Very Unneccessary Capital Letters.

Come Out of the Shade )

I am: surprised surprised

Five and Ten? At the same time? That deserves a "ZOMG!!!!!!!!!11"



...



Okay, I'm better now. Er, actually, I don't think I've ever used the term "ZOMG" before. Goodness me, I hope it's not contagious.

I hear: the perishers - carefree
Choose the Right Sexuality For You!

I was sitting around reading the paper and contemplating doing some work when I realized that I was very with angry with the world at the moment and had been for a while. At the end of writing this I realized I should put it somewhere where it would be appropriate, like LJ! I know I haven’t been around since April when I said I was back and then it turned out I wasn’t really. But I had no where else to go with this and I don’t care if no one reads it. I know it’s here and it has definitely helped me vent some frustration.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS A CHOICE!! )

I am: exhausted exhausted
I hear: gorillaz - 19 2000

Look out, intarweb. I'm back.

I hear: Gym Class Heroes - Apollo 3-1-5
