(two worlds collide around her ;; the truth lies deep inside her)

[riverdresses]

You know how it is when you've been agonising over something very important to you for months (literally, months), & one night, you're just drinking tea & walking about your room running ideas over & around in your head & you suddenly realise I've got it. You realise you know exactly what to do, how to do it & most of all, that you can do it.

It's a moment where your eyes light up & you just say to yourself, fantastic.

checkmate, motherfuckers.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

♥♥♥ I have literally been almost unable to stop writing my strange little musically accompanied ficlets lately. I'm sure most of you just want to a) kill me to get the insanity to stop or b) wish I'd write a real piece & stop being silly. (do you? 'Cause I'm worrying that I'm just annoying everyone with my silly little blurb-y things & I don't want to annoy anyone!)

I can't seem to stop writing the Tenth Doctor. I . . . really like the way he talks, apparently. & he's actually a lot easier for me to write than I thought he would be.

Also, Gravity Fails Us by Her Space Holiday will NOT.STOP.GIVING.ME.FICLET.IDEAS. You;d think it would have stopped at being a prompt for River Tam, then being a song for the TARDIS, but no! Now it's becoming a Doctor/Master antigravity idea & OMG MAKE THE IDEAS STOP.

Or not. 'Cause timesexing on the TARDIS is one thing, but to do it in zero gravity? THAT COULD BE INTERESTING, IF NOT CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE.

So. Rose gets to walk & dance literally on stars with Ten & then he gets to have sex or just float around with the Master in the TARDIS.

ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS. HMM, WHICH ONE COULD IT BE.

(& randomly, antigravity would make a fabulous John/Rodney prompt. O, PLEASE tell me someone's written McShep in zero gravity!)

♥♥♥ I am an utter twit.

A bit of backstory: I don't get any (public) wireless access at my house, so if I want to download something large, I have to pack up River (my laptop) & take her elsewhere to find a decent place. I usually take her downtown, since there is plenty of open connections there, but of course, since I'm outside, there are no outlets.

So! I'm sitting happily, if a bit cold, downloading parts of Life On Mars. My download reaches eighty percent & I look at the filename, only to realise I'm downloading a part I already have.

Did I mention that a full download takes all of River's battery because the free internet isn't all that fast & that I had ONE PART TO GO BEFORE I GOT MY GIRLIE HANDS ON EPISODE THREE?

::headdesk:: Yes, I are idiot. An idiot who can't read a damn filename, apparently. O well. Tomorrow is only a few hours away (well, technically, a little under a half-hour, since it's 11:34 here in California) & I can get it then. WHEE MORE LIFE ON MARS! ::licks her new & shiny fandom of JOY & AWESOME::

♥♥♥ lost_little_nat, I got your birthdaypackage today! ::twirls you 'round & all about:: You are so kind to me & EEEK, YOU SENT ME A BABY BAG! ::kisskiss:: Thankyou so so much sweetcake, I love my gifties so very much. ::hugs you superhard:: Yours will be sent on its way very very soon, I promise!

♥♥♥ There are big big bowls of strawberries&cherries in my house. I want to eat all of them til I could just pop!

♥♥♥ .the princess portal. has become my new favourite blog. It's so beautiful & pink & dreamy & lovely! ALL OF YOU, GO SEE IT!

I wish the weather was warmer. I want to have a Hello Kitty picnic in the Japanese tea garden sometime soon.

(sigh, that just gives me more ideas!)

♥♥♥ I'm seeing the boyshape on Wednesday! ::twirls a bit:: I rather wish I could have seen him tomorrow, but alas, one cannot be too impatient when it comes to romance, yes?

♥♥♥ & lastly, two memes, one I swiped from my adorable starlet dreamthing ninkasa & the other one from chiasmus!

Comments

You're writing is soooo not annoying. I MUST HAVE MOAR *grabby hands*

Oooh, QUESTION TIME. Ok.. *thinks*

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

YOU PROMISE? ::pets your very grabby hands & fills them with a plushie!Ten::

& I do think I'd like to go to India - there is so much life & colour & DANCING there. Or maybe Greece. But o, I want to go everywhere!

& YOUR TURN.

What was the last song you listened to? What does it remind you of?

[colonel-taisa.livejournal.com]

I PROMISE! ooh, plushie! *cuddles*

Oooh, India. I've been there. Several times. It's quite nice, if you don't have to go visit every freaking family member ever *grumbles.

Hehe, I don't remember >.< BUT iTUNES WILL REMEMBER FOR MEEE.

XDD It was God, That's good! from the Sweeney Todd soundtrack. And it reminded me of pies! Because the song is about pies XD Well, pies with people in them. But pies nevertheless.

What was the weather like today?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

Whee! ::feels a little less silly::

O, you're so lucky! It looks so magickal & beautiful there; I've always wanted to go. ::sighs dreamily::

Pies with PEOPLE in them? Eeep! ::hides under her bed::

Well, it's the day after you asked me this, so right now, it's very warm & sunny - perfect spring weather!

Do you listen to any Japanese artists at all?

[colonel-taisa.livejournal.com]

You'll get to go one day!

XDD Yep, pies with people in them. It's a good song!

OMGGGG *is jealous of your weather* Though it was not too cold today. Nice autumn weather.

Hmm, I don't listen to japanese artists specifically but I do have some Japanese songs that I listen to. There's all four openings of Fullmetal Alchemist, a few songs by Hinoi Team, one of the openings from Naruto and a song by Ayumi Hamasaki. I tend to go about music on a song by song basis, rather than artists.

What was the first anime you ever watched?

[thisissirius.livejournal.com]

oh, betsy! ♥

keep writing the music/ficlet things. they work so well and i like to read them! and to download the music ;)

boyshape! romance must take it's time. you can't rush these things ♥

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

::sparkles shyly & huggles you::

thankyou! & I have the one for your art piece all done! It's short, but I do hope you'll like it!

& alas, I can be a most impatient cupcake at times, but you know that! ^______^ ::shimmery::

[laii.livejournal.com]

ummm if you could live anywhere but where you are now, where would it be?

kinda similar to colonel_taisa's question, but i can't think of any at the mo.

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

Under the sea.

Or maybe in New York or Tokyo. So much life in those cities!

Abandoned buildings or an old cemetery?

[shanaqui]

I wish the weather was warmer. I want to have a Hello Kitty picnic in the Japanese tea garden sometime soon.

You can have our hot weather. Geez. *dies*

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

I do believe your wish was heard - it's going to be BOILING here this week, I do believe. RIVERDRESS WEATHER OMG YAY!

[m-buggie.livejournal.com]

Your musical odessey "Doctor Who" ficlets are utterly marvelous and I hope you never stop. Not only do they hook me up with fabulous music but the words are magical and you've got a knack for writing the Doctor. He's a little here, a little there, and nothing like how I've seen him written elsewhere. And that's groovy.

As for the question: how much of "Doctor Who" have you watched already? As in, what series are you up to and what was the last episode you saw?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

::blushes deeper than an apple:: O, thankyou, thankyou so much for all of your kind words about my writing! I'm totally flattered that you like how I write the Doctor - I originally never intended to write anything from his perspective at all, but he just started talking & I just started writing & haven't stopped since.

& question! I'm up to series four, but I've only actually seen Partners in Crime so far - I'm a bit lazy about watching it on the tellyvision, shockingly. The last ep I saw of the new series was The Lazarus Experiment & the last ep I saw of the original series was The Sontagram Experiment with Four & Sarah Jane & Harry Sullivan. Sarah Jane is ♥

& my turn! How did you discover Doctor Who & who would you consider your favourite character to be?

[m-buggie.livejournal.com]

I can totally imagine the Doctor just jabbering away at length about anything and everything. It's an entertaining vision. *chuckle*

Oh good, so then you have met Donna again. Lovely. She's fast earning her spot in my heart right alongside Rose and Martha. They're all so different but every one of them has such great spirit, sass, and inner strength. I tend to think of Donna as being the most human of them, though. But I ramble. We'll have this discussion once you've caught up on Series Four episodes, right? Right. *nods*
And yes, Sarah Jane is Amazing (with a capital A, of course). I'm still in the process of watching "Old Who" myself, too. But what I have seen, I've liked a whole lot.

:)

I originally discovered "Doctor Who" back in the mid-nineties (1996, was it?) when they broadcast that one made for TV movie on a network channel (I think it might have been Fox). I remember it was the Eighth Doctor in San Francisco and the Master was there. It was the first time I'd ever heard of Time Lords or Gallifrey or two hearts and I was hooked immediately. I researched all I could until newer, shinier fandoms stole my attention away for a decade.
Then I happened to wake up one morning and turn on the SciFi channel to find a marathon of Series One with the Ninth Doctor and wham, bam, thank you ma'am, I was hooked again!
My favorite character? Ack! Such a hard question. Aside from the Doctor himself, I'd have to say that at the moment I'm really digging Donna. She's plucky and resourceful, has a bit of meat on her bones, keeps up with the Doctor in everything from running to clever remarks, and she's not perfect but still tries her best in everything. It's nice to see that sort of female character on television, you know?

Oooh, more questions! Do you ever find yourself using words or phrases from "Doctor Who" in your everyday life? And if so, does anyone ever catch on to it?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

Donna is simply fabulous & a perfect match for Ten, I think. The boyshape & I were talking about how she makes us think a little of Sarah Jane, but more mouthy. :D

& YES, YES, I WILL GET PROPERLY CAUGHT UP IN TIME.

Oooo, now I REALLY want to see that - Eight & the Master in San Francisco? I AM SO THERE.

Is it rather sad that I think Donna should eventually get her own show, a la Sarah Jane? Or at least, she should have her own sonic device. :D

Hmm, let me think . . . well, I've definitely found myself saying 'Fantastic!' so much more lately & I've been known to do a bit of the head-tossing wink that Ten does in The Idiot's Lantern & of course, it's become rather commonplace for me to pop my thumbs up a la the Master in a show of approval. :D Alas, no one's called me out on any of it yet! But the best part is, I recently changed my wallpaper on my laptop to this really vibrant & bold one of Rose & Ten. Every time I work outside, I'm wondering if anyone's going to notice & at least ask me who the pretty people are!

My turn! What character on Doctor Who do you see the most of yourself in, if any?

[ninkasa.livejournal.com]

#1: I *heart* your fics, they are adorable.

The question:

What was the best quote you've ever heard?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

::pinkens shyly:: Thankyou! ^___________^

& ooo, hmmmm, let me think . . . there's one from the Sandman that I'm utterly in love with & would have tattooed on myself if I could.

'I am not Apollo. I am no sun god. But poets and dreamers are my people and it is not unheard of for us to be confused.' - Morpheus, Fables & Reflections

& my turn!

If you were stuck in an elevator, who would you like to be stuck there with & what would you do?

[ninkasa.livejournal.com]

Besides Sophia Myles, wherein the second half of that question would be vulgar if I had my way. . .I would say ninurta, because she could keep me calm. And we'd probably talk. :)

My turn again: If you could live anywhere other than where you live, where would it be?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

Hmm . . . on another planet, if I could. But more locally, Tokyo or maybe New York. Possibly Arizona, because I do like the desert even though I'm truly an ocean city girl.

What's a song that you feel best describes who you are?

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

I read this

16. Are you single or taken?

. . . taken. & for the record, that feels really weird to say.

and thought By me!

Then I remembered that OTHER guy. :/

And a question!: Are you as bad at thinking up questions to ask people as I am?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

::pinkens a la fresh cherryblossoms:: O, you! ^_____^

& YES, YES I AM. I SUCK at it.

My turn!

London in the fall or California in the summer?

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

London in the fall! I would, of course, act like a complete tourist and get laughed at for being a stupid American.

My turn again!

What's the VERY first thing you do when you wake up in the morning (or afternoon)?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

WHEE FOR AUTUMN LONDON! & I'm sure they wouldn't laugh at you!

Hmm, it depends if it's a weekday or weekend - weekdays, I just usually look at the clock & close my eyes again. On weekends, I usually either pop up & do stuffs, or fall back asleep if I was up late.

What's your favourite sweet?

[geeky-webmaster.livejournal.com]

First of, I'm very sorry & I suck for not commenting/being alive LJ-wise lately.

Secondly: O, PLEASE tell me someone's written McShep in zero gravity! I welcome this mental image happily! And your Doctor/Master antigravity bunnies should be fed & taken care of so that they can blossom and grow and actualise their potential!

And on the note of Doctor/Master, I once again suck for not putting together that list yet. Then again I realise now that most of the fics I was reading at the time were Master/Lucy. Because Lucy was wonderful and RTD did her no justice. *huffs*

O, that blogsite is all pink and fluffy and wonderful! *heart eyes* I'm so terribly jealous of how she pulls off the style! (Jealousy is probably not a very princess-like quality, but still!)

& a question? Hmm... Would you rather go back in time (a la Sam Tyler), into the future (to the Firefly-universe or similar) or into another galaxy (a la Stargate Atlantis)?

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

::glomps you:: It's alright snugglething! YOU HAS A LIFE, unlike me! :D

I do believe that there WILL be a Doctor/Master ficlet-thingybob involving antigravity because a) yummy! & b) LOLZ. :D BUT THERE COULD BE MCSHEP FIC OF THE SAME ILK. I just wrote my first SGA piece, so there could be moooooore. ;)

I'm patient, I promise! O! I'd LOOOOVE some Master/Lucy fic! HOW AWESOME WERE THEY TOGETHER? (& I may or may not be writing Master/Sane!Lucy fic involving TARDIS!defilement . . . ::looks sweet::) LUCY! ::hugs her:: I love her to bits & YES, SHE REALLY NEEDED MORE SCREENTIME. ::pouts::

Princess aesthetics = love! I wish I could pull off the full aesthetic & look as lovely as she does. Her site is a wonderful read!

YAY QUESTION! I actually got your comment this morning & I've been contemplating it for most of the day . . . I think I'd take the Daniel Jackson option & travel into another galaxy. I'd love seeing what I could find there & maybe I'd even find a home there. & plus, space is just utterly beautiful & I'd feel so at home in being so close to it.
