[personal profile] 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::

♥♥♥ [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] ninkasa & the other one from [livejournal.com profile] chiasmus!

Eeek, I can't even imagine!

My pappy's doggie!

7. What day was it five days ago?

Sleeping. Updating Reinette the iPod. Writing fic.

Quite nice, except for my idiocy in misdownloading Life On Mars.

15. What are you thinking about at the moment?

Mostly about how tired I am & the headache I think I'm getting.

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

Amy Winehouse for singer right now, Hole for band.

24. Do you think anyone else is going to repost this after you?

No.

25. Going to college?

No.

26. Do you think you'll be a successful person in life?

If I live long enough, which I have my doubts about.

27. What's your main goal?

To write. To love. To dance & sing & travel & have adventures & get away from the people I currently live with.

28. Do you think your life will have a dramatic change in the next five years?

No.

29. What year do you graduate highschool?

I've blocked almost all of my secondary school-related memories out, so I don't remember.

30. Are you afraid of the "real world"?

The real world is a different perception for everyone. It's subjective. I'm afraid of the mundane one. My own, not so much.

Part IV: Just Random Stuff

San Francisco

34. Gay marriage- Support or Against?

36. Color of the socks you're wearing?

No socks for this cupcake!

Rock! ♥

38. Is there a reason for everything?

Yes. That I know.

& this one: Comment asking me a question. I will reply with my answer, along with a question for you. Then you answer my question and ask me another question and this goes on until we run out of questions or we become terribly sick of one another.

Comment parties are fun. Comment parties with a purpose? Fantastic.

YES. Jack was in it too, but not in the bathtub, he was just . . . there. BUT IANTO WAS IN THE BATHTUB, SO IT'S ALL OKAY! Do you notice how my subconscious seems to have a MASSIVE interest in getting Jack undressed in my dreams? I mean . . . WTF BRAIN. YOU DON'T DO THIS FOR TEN & THAT MAKES HIM FEEL SLIGHTED. MY DREAMS, LET ME SHOW YOU THEM.

NO, MINE NOW. MINE!

O, did I tell you that I had a dream where I was hiding under David Tennant's table in a restaurant & he was really nice to me & I told him it was my birthday & he ordered me a piece of banana cream pie? :D

From: [identity profile] riverdresses.livejournal.com
HOW ARE MY KITTYHATS MEAN!?

Need I go over this again. KITTIES ARE ALIVE. HATS ARE NOT. KITTYHATS ARE NOT ALIVE. THAT'S BEING MEAN TO THE KITTIES.

You are!

I won... because... BECAUSE I'm AWESOME LIKE THAT!

You DID. YOU SO DID. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO FIND THE EVIDENCE?! I WILL IF I HAVE TO!

I NEVER! I explicitly stated the OPPOSITE!

Date: 2008-06-03 05:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] riverdresses.livejournal.com
Well . . . THEY COULD BE ALIVE. YOU DON'T KNOW!

I am . . . what, again?

NO YOU DIDN'T. ONLY I CAN USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE FOR WINNING THINGS.

YEAH, I THINK YOU SHOULD. 'CAUSE I'M SO LOST I CAN'T REMEMBER MY NAME.

YOU DID NOT. I REMEMBER THIS. NOW HAVE YOUR PEOPLE PIE PLZ.

Date: 2008-06-07 06:13 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] colonel-taisa.livejournal.com
I'm PRETTY SURE THEY'RE NOT. BASIC SCIENCE. HATS ARE NOT ALIVE.

I... have no idea. But you are, because I say so.

I DID! LET ME HAVE MY MOMENT OF WINNING! it doesn't happen often

XDD I don't even remember what I was trying to prove. I think it may have been about you saying Ianto was 'meh'. WHICH YOU DID BY THE WAY.

NOOO, NO PEOPLE PIE *Throws it at you*

Date: 2008-06-07 06:21 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] riverdresses.livejournal.com
. . . THERE ARE PLANETS WHERE HATS ARE ALIVE. SO YES, YOUR NINEKITTY HAT IS ALIVE.

. . . No idea about WHAT, again? O_______o

OKAY, FINE. JUST THIS ONCE. ::pouts::

HE IS NOT MEH. HE IS KIND OF SEXY-ISH. BUT I ALREADY CONCEDED THAT POINT TO YOU SO THIS ARGUMENT IS A DRAW.

::ducks:: MISSED!

From: [identity profile] colonel-taisa.livejournal.com
No, THERE AREN'T. If they were alive, THEY WOULDN'T BE HATS BY DEFINITION, THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG.

Yay *basks in the glory of winning* I'll win again sometime :P and again. AND AGAIN. UNTIL I AM THE CHAMPION OF... WELL... EVERYTHING.

I KNOW HE'S NOT. BUT YOU SAID BEFORE THAT HE WAS. AND I WAS LIKE D= It's like the Lorne thing ALL OVER AGAIN. This argument is not a draw, I've crealy won!

From: [identity profile] colonel-taisa.livejournal.com
... What does Donna have to do with hats? Is she some sort of authority on the sentience/life of hats?! O.o Well if they're alive, then what you're wearing is not a hat. MY LOGIC STILL WORKS!

D= DID YOU JUST CALL ME LITTLE ONE?! I IS NOT LITTLE!!

ZOMG YOU LIE. I SHALL GO BACK TO YOUR EARLIER ENTRIES ABOUT TORCHWOOD TO GET EVIDENCE... but not now coz I'm lazy >.<

Hehe.. why not? *does it again*
