some days I wake up dreaming

Fab things:

1. My room is clean. Or at least tidy. Tidier. Okay, so my room no longer looks like a library threw up over it. Books in organized piles, FTW!

2. I have finished my critical theory essay! Which is to say, I've written 2000 words. Now, to the edit-mobile!

3. Doctor Who! Donna continues to inspire love and worship in me. DONNA! She just deals with the Doctor so well and seems so real and reasonable ♥. Also, her hair rocks. Also, also, her speech about the Ood was made from win.

The Doctor continues to be a huge angst bunny. Oh, Doctor! *pets*

However, that comment in the trailer for next week, about Martha? That'd better be before Donna actually meets Martha, because I will be very, very, very sad if Martha and Donna don't get along. They should be awesome with each other, because that will make all well with my world.


4. M*A*S*H marathons on TV. Hi Trapper ILU. Still. The more I watch the first three seasons, the more the whole "Trapper-is-a-bastard" thing in fandom mystifies me. Trapper's lovely. ♥

5. Yesterday, in my house, we had E's brother and sister, T's sister, Mike and his housemate and Gemma. It was a lot like I imagine having a large ethnic family would be like. Except with a truly disgusting sense of humor.

It was brilliant.

6. BEAN IS BACK IN LEICESTER, YAY!

Not-so-fab-things:

1. Satire and Sensibility essay still stalling at 200 words and still made of fail.

1a. S&S is due in a week before CT. Oops?

2. Morte D'Arthur, presentation on. For Wednesday. I hope my tutor doesn't mind it being all about the War of the Roses and not at all about the book. Because the book sucks.

3. I have to go to work tomorrow. Which sucks. I've applied for jobs elsewhere, but no word yet. I just. I'm so bored and I don't even have nice co-workers to make up for it.

Also, the pay is lousy. Boo.

However, I am going to go and do my presentation now (possibly while watching M*A*S*H) and all shall be well with the world.

Also, did I mention? Becca's back in town! ♥!

Yay!

I am really getting into Doctor Who, but I have to be fair, I'm not really sure I like Donna...

Anyway, if it makes you feel any better I have two essays to hand in tomorrow, the first draft of one of which I'm only writing now... And I have an exam, and I don't know what time it is. :s


We need to catch up sometime, no?

HEE!

That doesn't actually surprise me, but do you mind if I ask why? (Just because, as my post indicates, mad love from this side of web)

It does make me feel better ;). How'd you end up doing?

We do *nods*

I don't understand the Trapper-is-a-bastard deal. He's super, and sweet, and cuddly, and I love him.

Good luck with your essay!

I KNOW! I also don't understand people who think that Hawkeye is a better friend to Trapper than vice-versa, but that might a personal thing (the way Trapper *looks* at Hawkeye, my heart!)

Thank you!

1. *looks at own room*

Er. You're a role model to whose heights I hope to one day strive?

2. Awesome! I'm listening to Grand Theft Autumn, which is also awesome. Just wanted to share.

3. It amazes me how much better I like her, it's awesome. ♥

4. Dammit, stop making me watch things I don't have the time to be obsessed with right now!

5. ♥

***

1. Ooops indeed. I'm having the same problem with a presentation, if it's any consolation?

2. See number 1.

3. I sympathize, I really do. I'm sorry that work sucks. *hugs* And I'm sorry I can't actually help you do anything about it.

(but just to make you feel better about things in general, I called up L. and we caught a movie this afternoon. ♥)

In a sooper sekrit just-for-Sofie whisper, Freya says 'who is L.? For I is neugierig.'

L. is a friend of mine that I haven't spoken to in months, which is just stupid, considering we live in the same town. And the more time passes, the more awkward the no-contact thing gets. But Marie told me to just call her already, and, well. I did, and had much fun.

1. Awesome! I've never been a role model before!

2. Sounds cool. I'm currently listening to Panic's new single. ♥!

3. She's so *hand gestures*. I really adore her.

4. Sorry?

5. ♥

1. Go team Us?

3. *hugs back*

You rock, Sofie *hugs you*

1. Isn't it a great feeling?

2. Eee! Any good?

3. I do too! And it was totally unexpected, really, I so honestly didn't see it coming.

4. As well you should be.

5. ♥

1. *waves pom-poms sarcastically*

1. It is indeed!

2. I really, really like it, but it's not that much like there other stuff, so -- hum.

3. Me either. I wanted to like her, but I didn't think I would and then HI DONNA YOU AWESOME THING YOU ♥!

4. *hangs head in shame*

1. HEE!

2. I've listened to it now, too. And I like. I do.

3. I KNOW, RIGHT?!

I share your need for Donna and Martha to get along. I love them both so much that I may cry if they don't play nicely.

Also, I will never, ever understand "Trapper-is-a-bastard". Trapper is fantastic, and, yes, lovely.

[identity profile] vampirespider.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! *sighs* They should, because they're both so sensible and all-around likable. *♥ them*

It is a constant surprise to me how fandom seems to interpret him - it seems to mostly be based off his not leaving a note and occasionally his infidelity to his wife. And I get that, sort of, but it's such a restrictive way of looking a character who's more than those two things (particularly because fandom worships Hawkeye, and he comes off as more of a bastard than Trap to me. Not that I don't love him, I'm just observing).
