ten things

Ten Things I Love About Who (because it's going around the Doctor Who lists and I've got nothing more important to do)

in no particular order

1. The TARDIS. -- It's a blue Police Box that's bigger on the inside. 'Nuff said. (Though by the way it keeps missing the intended date and/or destination, she may need a tune-up.)

2. Two Hearts. -- It's a thing I have. Like guys in glasses or somebody being thrown against a wall and snogged. Best of all, Ten has been all three of those.

3. Timelords. -- For crying out loud, could any species have a cooler name? Is there anything harder to understand, let alone master, than time itself? Screw the Ancients. The Timelords could have wiped them from all existence. If they didn't agree with their non-interference policy.

4. Traveling in Time and Space. -- Seriously. There is nothing in the world I could want to do more. And if I have to do it vicariously, through a tv screen, then so be it. I'm just saying, if there was a Doctor, and he needed a new companion, I would be first in line.

5. School Reunion. -- Oh, Giles, you have been bad. And I need not mention the Doctor's reaction to seeing Sarah Jane. He has the most amazing reactions to surprises. In other favorite moments, Rose and Sarah Jane talking about the Doctor, and laughing uncontrollably at him when he walks in on them.

6. The Face of Boe = JACK FUCKING HARKNESS (or whatever the HELL his name is). -- And the Doctor's (once again, amazing) reaction to same.

7. Jack's Universal Sexuality. -- Because we as a world have needed a character like this for so, so long.

8. Gallifrey. -- The beauty of the name, the sadness of its fate; I literally lean forward every time I get to hear the Doctor talk about it.

9. His Shoes. -- I HAD to get a pair of Converse All Stars after seeing Ten wear them. Unfortunately, the classic style has as-yet unresolved issues with my feet.

10. The Tenth Doctor. -- The first to make me really want to watch Doctor Who. My spine tingles whenever he gets whumped (and believe me, that doesn't happen as easily as it used to, much to my lament - no further comment need be necessary). I shall mourn the day he becomes Eleven. Unless, of course, he's somebody I really, really adore. I seriously doubt anyone on my list will make it.

That is all.

(no subject)

1. Last night I dreamed I was climbing a very tall mountain, throwing spears at boats from the water, and shooting cookies shaped like the gold pieces from Curse of the Black Pearl out of a hand cannon.

Apparently, this was for some sort of project. I really don't know any more than that.

2. I want to write something, godDAMMIT!

3. Why didn't I get a Week of Welcome packet this year? Am I supposed to just guess what the hell is going on? (They send me Welcome to the Residence Halls stuff like I'm a first year, but no WOW shit. I find this irksome.)

4. It's WINDY today and I LIKE it.

OMGWTF

I was cruising stop_the_badfic, and they talked about somebody whose art I used to admire on Elfwood back when I had a gallery there (oh I don't know, like, five years ago). She was also an aspiring writer, and it seems like a few years ago she actually got something published.

Apparently, her story was "repackaged" Legend of Zelda fanfic, so sayeth the poster (among others), and her books didn't do so well. Damn. It's kind of scary to find this out, years later. I do remember thinking that the description of her main character was a real nancy, and that may have been what inspired me to make mine more feisty and less like a wilted flower. Thanks for that anyway, Adele. Sorry your book totally bombed.

I need to start writing, now, so I don't find out I suck AFTER I publish a book.

I also need to go to FuckedupFanFiction.Net and start bitching like there's no tomorrow.


In other news, I finally caved and upgraded to the Plus account. (It does NOT seem like there are three times as many layout options.) I'll probably get sick of the ads eventually and switch back to basic. But first I'm going to have fun with a decent number of icons and my custom mood theme. *squee!*
