feel her breath on my face, her body close to me.

It is good to be home. Today was Easter Lunch, which went positively brilliantly compared to last time the family met up, and I got to hang out with my cousin, which was incredibly awesome - I'd forgotten how cool she is, and how funny. Yesterday I went to Copenhagen to buy a few odds and ends, and then spent the rest of the day at Signe's, playing Trivial Pursuit and watching a documentary about political scandals. And it was all awesome, and fun, and I enjoyed it, it felt good. But still, I can't help thinking about Gemma near constanly.


Why is it the more I talk to Gemma on the phone, or on MSN, the more I miss her? Surely it should lessen and not get worse? I miss her so much, it feels so screwed up, so over-the-top since we've only been together for two months, but I miss her. And I'm being a git about it, because I've got her picture frame up next to my computer, and I've been listening to her music, and it's not making it better. It's just that I am so used to being able to touch her, look at her, kiss her whenever I want to. I'm used to falling asleep with her near. And it's probably good that we're apart now, so I can sort of get my bearings, veiw it from a distance, but mostly I just want her back. Now.

I'm a silly, sentimental git. I'm also way too enamoured of Gemma - it scares me a bit.

Enough of that melancholy and introspective, though! Because after we are really here to talk about Doctor Who, and Martha, and, of course, Shakespeare. ariastar had a review up in her journal with all but forced me to download The Shakespeare Code and I am so glad I did. Who fandom, I'm back! Though mostly to say: GLEE!



SHAKESPEARE! And he was so awesome too, just like you *want* to imagine Shakespeare being - a bit like Kenneth Branagh, actually. But his big brain! His ego! His flirting with Martha, which was amazing and made me ridiculously gleeful, and I wanted Martha and the Doctor to take Shakespeare with them! He's like a Renaissance Jack Harkness. Particularly during this interlude:

Ten: There'll be time for flirting later, right?
Shakespeare: *leers* Do you promise, Doctor?
Ten: *stares* 57 academics just punched the air.

I LOVE IT!

And Martha, all flattered about Shakespeare's attention, and so damn excited about being there, which was so good to see. Plus, she's just kick-ass, hot and she just seems so bubbly - not like Rose was bubbly, but happy and adventureous, and a little more independent - or at least, less of a romantic heroine for the Doctor. And I loved Rose, so it's high praise. Plus, she makes me like Ten a lot more than I have before. I love how giddy she was about dorky things like Harry Potter, and, well, Shakespeare.

And you know what? I liked the plot too. I like the use of the Globe, and I liked how realistic it all was, comparative to what I've been learning this term, which was awesome, particularly as I was watching the episode instead of revising.

Oh, and I liked that Martha was aware of her possibly looking out of place - and that the Doctor wasn't at all phased. Yay!


Final two things:
a)One of the good things about being a U2 fan is that you get to imagine conversations like this:

4am, somewhere in Ireland/New York/South France

PHONE: Rings

EDGE: *growls* *yawns* *fumbles for phone* What is it, Bono?

BONO: *loudly & excitedly* You know what would be AWESOME? Banjos!

EDGE: ...

BONO: Banjos! Vertigo done on a banjo! How awesome would that be?

EDGE: ...

BONO: Edge? Edge?

EDGE: *tiredly* Yes, Bono. Awesome.

And thus, the world is blessed with this.

2) Why did no one tell me how awesome Take That's Shine music video is? FAIL! It's so cool. *glees* Mark Owen dancing on Gary Barlow's piano just amuses the hell out of me. It's just so STYLIZED. Oh, Take That. Don't ever stop.

Now I'm off to distract myself from missing Gemma with more Who. It won't work, but at least I'll be amused.
