Oooohhh, I LOVE a little drama in the moooorning .....

HIIII!!!! *waves*

Wow, I've missed a lot, haven't I?

OK, so, I know it's over, and I know I'm sticking my head in, and I know I may be a shit stirrer .... but I gotta say this. And I only gotta say this because it's over and so on and so forth .... although if people are still sore, and therefore cannot construe this as a joke, I totally get it, and a) accept any flames/attacks/rolls-of-eyes/general ignoringness as my due and b) deeply, deeply apologise.

But I think a sign of maturity is the ability to laugh at oneself. And I certainly don't think I'd like to be associated with a place where people can't laugh at themselves. *raises flag of hope. 'Cos I believe in us*

So. Whilst I will keep my own thoughts to myself, I will say ... this whole thing just reminded me of this. Which y'all should have seen anyway. ^^

The really relevant passages (if you don't want to read through the whole thing, cos it is kinda long.) are near the end. But the whole thing is just funny even without any kind of correlation.

And please remember: Joke. Again, I'm sorry if we're still too near the *cough for dramatic effect* "incident" to make them. But hey, the best time to intefere is now!


Oh, and are there any extras on the M*A*S*H DVDs?

Really?! I don't think I've met any old fans like that! *is amused*

And tell me about it! Although I managed to convert one member of my flist pre-new series. And so we both got the glory. ^^ (And I will have to check your description. Although, really, so many icons, so few icon spaces... XD)

I know exactly what you mean. I'm in the rather unique position (i think?) of having been shown tapes as a kid and loving it, but missing out until the ABC reran the entire 40 years about four years ago. So I fell in love with it again. But being older, I was also able to see the conflict between asexual doc, who is totally canon, and sexually active doc, who is more than a little bit canon too. And then the new series came along and wow. So I was completely there. ^^ My frustration with new fans came about with three main things. 1) The refusal to admit earlier docs. 2) The refusal to admit later docs (I guess this is just a whole 'a refusal to admit regen in general' thing and 3) A belief that Rose is his OTP 4EVER OMG!!!!!111111 .... I guess that's a bit elitist though. It's just my doctor has relationships with humans ... and has to deal with the pain of them eventually going away. And that's far more interesting, for me. Which says to me that it's as much about characterisation as sex, I guess.

And slash. *grins wickedly* Oh, don't get me started on slash. My first DW pairing was slash. ^^

Ahem. I'm sorry, what was that, dear? These old ears can't hear much. Come and sit down, have some tea. Don't stare at those M*A*S*H fans over there, they don't realise that the Doctor can visit fictional worlds too. So it's completely relevant. No really. No, really. Work with me here... ^^

Me and my b/f had a M*A*S*H crossover in our ongoing 8th dr fic maxswhofic, but unfortunately Eight was nowhere to be found, most of the fic was centred around 2 regular OC companions and another of my own who snuck in and kept sneaking off to shag things :D
I love it. They also met the Avengers! And human versions of Spongebob Squarepants and his friends... XD This sounds really fucked-up, right?
LOL, TBH I've been lucky in that a lot of my friends are too sensible to be Anti-whats come before and after Nine. Some of my friends have actually taken the opportunity to get hold of old-school who dvds and watch those and get into that too. I'm dead-chuffed that toys for my fave fandom can be bourght on the high street!
*squeals* Though occasionally I do get sad to see so many people fangirling, and I occasionally long for the times when I would talk about who and get one comment, off my who loving boyfriend (Or 2 if I was talking about eight because the girl who introduced us - over mcgann no less - fancies the pants off paul mcganne XD)
But overall, I'm so glad of my fandom. I was so scared this time last year!! But they pulled it off and omg, is it good *dribble*
*twitches* Oh yeah! That was what I was going to say - dw_slash - you get a lot of Master/Five and Five/Turlough over there :D
Myself? I can only get my head around writing het at the moment, but I enjoy anything that's well written, and I'm currantly trying to work slash into my drawings (theres the only 2 i've tried over there at the moment that aren't particularly slashy, they're F-locked posts though)
Currantly over there it's bondage month :D So I guess I shall have to get my head round a drawing like that soon!

OH MY GOD THERE'S SO MUCH HERE I WANT TO SAY!!!

*proceeds to say none of it*

*coughs* Can I friend you? Please?? (By which I also mean kinda will you friend my back, because I really want to see that art you speak of ... although I'm quite happy to friend you without such returns ... I'm an emo girl, but I don't bite often ^^)

Your friends sound so awesome! Mine are getting better - or they just don't like/know DW. It's really hard to go out and find fic, though, and that's a little upsetting. Also, the huge amount of it discourages me from writing ... also a little disconcerting, but whatever. ^^

AND OMG YOUR FIC SOUNDS SO AWESOME!!! (Promises herself to read it, but not tonight because she has four plays to read.) And the toys ... I know! I got a remote control Dalek for christmas. *giggles* I love that my family knows me so well. ^^

And you've practically described how I feel word for word with the fangirling thing. Although I like more comments than that. ^^ I just like comments that .... make sense? ^^

And they did do a brilliant job. It was so fine. It actually invoked the old stories of 'hiding behind the couch in fear' which immedeiately gave it a thumbs up for me. ^^ Although I still don't like Russel T.

And that's cool. I'll try not to overbear you then ... (heheh.... bring them in slowly ... :P) I still find it difficult to write slash ... I think I've only posted het ... but I enjoy slash, and can see it. Especially Doctor/Master. Of all eras. ^^

And they are? I'll have to check it out!! I've been there a few times, but for some reason I never joined .... hmmm. Will have to remedy that. And whilst I will calmly tell you that you should only ever draw what you're comfortable with ... a secret part of me is squealling "Draw bondage! Draw bondage! Draw bondage!"

Ahem. Sorry about that. I'll go have it shot immediately.

#1 - course you can :D
#2 - I'm very lucky with my FL :D
#3 - *giggle* Is this a good point to mention it's been running for at least 2 years and is itno it's seventh or eighth season? XD It might take a lot of reading it it's read from the beginning, but the last fic thats in there ("a mans life" i think) if you scroll down until you find chapter 1, is the M*A*S*H one.
#4 - Yep :D I think some days I just want the Doctor back to myself, cause he was my kidhood hero and y'know... sometimes I wish he wasn't quite so popular so i'd have him to myself again :D But that soon fades when I find myself squealing with fellow fans :D
#5 - LMAO. I've said it before that if I ever meet Russel T Davies, I will hug him and then I will slap his face. Then I'll tell him, "Those were for Doctor who!" - cause I am grateful, and he has done a good job of it, but OMG some of his desisions suck to heck! :D
#6 - hehehe! I actually occasionally get bored and ask for requests. Only occasionally, and right now i've got some pretty serious IRL stuff thats keeping me from doing my drawings so it probably won't be for a while, but I do ask occasionally :D
#7 - LMAO, I'll really have to keep practising with my scribbles then :D

I must warn you, it's probably best to take my posts with a pinch of salt at the moment. Like I said, IRLs a bit stressful at the moment, so I whinge a lot :D

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm, numbers. The smart person's method. ^^

*flexes fingers* Ow! My pinky!

1) YAY!!!!! *glee*
2) OMG, yes you are.
3) O.O There is more I could say here, but really, just: O.O
4) Yeah. Me and maybe a few good friends (because my fandoms die without discussion. Like, really, die. But fandom is addictive. ^^
5) You ROCK! That's it EXACTLY!! (Man, he must be getting a lot of slaps sometimes ^^) Although I have to admit, I could tolerate his decisions of badness as a faceless bureaucrat until I read an interview with him. And then I just couldn't take it any more, because, man, you may be a genius, but what you think just because you're gay you know everything?? (Read: "I think gay men can automatically see into a woman's heart. We know what women want.") And arrogance is one of my pet peeves. ^^
6) *puppy dog eyes* Although, I get it. ^^ RL is keeping me from LJ, mostly (spent today catching up on 300 lj entries. Which is why I'm suddenly up on the snark.)
7) YEEEESSSSSS PRECIOUSSSSSSS!! ;D

And that's totally cool. Me as well, actually, when I make them. I'm still rather hormonal, only getting into that whole 'growing up' thing, so I still tend to rant and be internet fangirl like and generally blow things out of proportion. So I apologise.

But there is some good stuff there! No really. No, really...

;)

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

Not smart, pedantic ;)

Hee!!

re #3 - I can hardly beleive its still going myself!! I forgot to mention we've also had 2 or 3 Nine-fics and a fic featuring AU!Nine (The Richard E Grant dr from "scream of the shalka", because at the time Ecclescake hadn't been announced as the new dr)

#5 - Yep. I would love to just slap his face. Thats why I <3 John Barrowman so much - he comes off as a really sweet guy in himself. Sweet funny handsome and god dammit he's just perfection :D His boy and him go together so, so well.

#6 - Yep. I'm not being kept off LJ, i'm just getting stressed till I can't do anything. At the moment I've got to wait a month for skin tests to see if I can go back to the bit of work that I like working in (I work in a hospital, in the bit that makes chemo drugs and iv food for premie babies, but my hands got red and generally yuk, so they sent me into dispensary instead!!) I've been waiting since January and now it's really getting to me sometimes. I hate dispensary with a passion.
I will say though, though I don't ask often, my conversations with people sometimes inspire what ideas I write and draw ;)

Don't worry about the hormonal thing. I'm totally ruled by my hormones, because I won't accept the pill to calm them down :D Ah well!

XD You'll be fine. The only time I've booted people on my FL it's because of them being nasty, either to me or other people on my FL. Though I did once find 2 of my best IRL friends fighting for no good reason on my LJ... *_* that was weird.

And now - back to the alcohol!
xx

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

Mmmm alcohol. Oh oh! Happy birthday!

And pedantic is something I can totally relate with. ^^ Hee. Pedant.

Re 5) I know! Isn't he darling? But ... his boy? O.o I just don't pay attention, do I?

6) I know that feeling too. *sigh* And that's really, really shitty. *hugs* I hope everything turns out ok! *looks at own hands* Practically my only problem is that my incredibly dry skin cracks my hands open in winter. DAMNIT IT'S MEANT TO BE SPRING ALREADY!!! (And the whole inspiration thing? Totally with you there. XD)

*sigh* The pill? And I know but ... especially cos my sister's just going into it ... and with all this work I can't afford to dramatise. (Despite my love of the llame XD) I'm just wanting to throw it off, you know? *grins* Ah well. It's all good.

Awww. *pouts* Does that mean no random snarking? Joking, joking! That sounds fairly easy to handle. ^_~

And yes, you enjoy! I think I should go to bed (has been saying this for the past two hours... XD)

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

What, for last week? Danke :D

#5 - Yep, JB has a boy, infact I'm sure he was going to have one of those civil service things that they're doing over here now. TBH a bit of me is going oh no JB!! But I'm also thinking that anything that makes him happy (and the pic somebody showed me of him and his boy is ubercute) is well worth it in the end. :')
#6 - Very much so. If my skin tests come up with nothing I don't know whats happening, but if they come up with positives and it turns out I can't go back to Aseptics, I think I'm going to have to leave. Which is scary, because it's my first job and I've only been here 11 months... and the people do try so hard to make sure I'm okay. I guess I'll just have to work it out when the time comes. Actually my hands are so dry right now... time for more moisturiser...

Yeah, The pills a type of contraception really but it's prescribed if you have problems with mood swings, pain during your wotsit, anything really. It's because of that that I don't like it. My hormones are pretty bad but they're mine, and i'd rather they weren't controlled by drugs.

Hehe, I usually have to be really upset with somebody for some time before I boot them. A random snark here and there usually doesn't hurt. I've got a friend who clashes with me pretty often because I always managed to misunderstand her :D I don't mind too much overall though. And of course, theres always some people I'll put up with if they're great in themselves :D
Hee. Bed bed bed bed!!
