My dearest flisties,

My internet connection - or my own phone line, rather - is being majorly wonky for me right now, so I may not be around as much as usual for a bit. (I'm basically leeching off of my folks' phone line in my mummy's room & listening to her complain about how my typing's waking her up.) I do have semi-regular wireless access, so I'll hopefully be able to read & comment at least a little! & plus, there may be an occasional voice post since you all know how much you love my babbling. ::giggles::

So if I'm around less than usual, that's why, sweethearts. (ARGH I HATE IT WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITHOUT THE INTERNET WHAT.)

But enough of that! How about something more awesome than my computer woes?

♥♥♥♥ Some (very sexy!) style tips from the glamalicious galadarling! (totally silly note: trying your lover's hands & letting them feed you a cupcake . . . didn't I ALMOST write Doctor/Master based on that? Hmm, I could swear that I did! Only there was no cupcake in sight, I believe!)

♥♥♥♥ you stardrops. I wasn't in the best of moods earlier today (cold, no internet at the nice warm house, sat on cold fucking metal to read the flist, hungry, IT FUCKING DRIZZLED, couldn't feel my hands, had a too small session with la therapist, yada yada yada . . .) but I got to catch up on everything & upload lots of nice music & you all were just making me laugh (quite hard, in public, no less!) & smile crazy wide. ::hugs all of you & gives huge glomps to those that really need it right now:: Really, I love you bunnies. Somehow, some way, you all can always put a little smile on my face.

♥♥♥♥ Reading Life On Mars/Top Gear crossover fic. Yes, you're reading that right. & I LOVED IT. WHY do I not watch Top Gear more often?

♥♥♥♥ Neil Gaiman + Amanda Palmer = TEAM UP OF AWESOME, Y/N? (& how pretty is Amanda in that picture?)

♥♥♥♥ & two memes, because one features cupcakes & the other one is one I'm DYING to hear the answers you're all going to come up with!

♥♥♥♥ ZOMG LOOK AT WHAT chocolatemuse DREW FOR ME!! My pinstriped dress of timey-wimeyness! (as so aptly named by bramblyhedge!) ::glomps Anne::

Snatched from ihearthedrums!

THE CHARACTER RATING MEME

I'm secretly hoping it will be a little cold tomorrow. Cold enough for a new incarnation of Four fashion that I want to try out. I just hope my mummy hasn't thrown out the shirt that I think would work nicely with it. (no buttons, but a MAD looking collar that is so utterly Four. It's a shame my platforms still need to be seen to by the cobbler - they'd look great with this outfit!)

1. Bake cupcakes for: Four! We could have tea & cupcakes in the TARDIS of course!

2. Trust with the keys to my car: Well, I don't actually have a car or drive, but I suppose Rose. She's responsible!

3. Put thumbtacks on the chair therof: Hmmm . . . Francine Jones, but that's because I'm mean like that. (& I never did like her, though she was Martha's mother. Shhhh!)

4. Have a crush on: FOUR TEN THE MASTER Sarah Jane! I LOVES HER.

5. Pack up and leave if they moved next door: Um . . . maybe Jackie Tyler - think of the VOICE, ARGH.

ROMANA PWNS THE MASTER. IT'S A FACT OF LIFE I WAS BROUGHT UP WITH.

I KNOOOOW! I feel so honoured! :D

2. Trust with the keys to my car: Probably Annie, since I think she'd be the one least likely to crash the damn thing. (y'know, if I had a car.)

3. Put thumbtacks on the chair therof: RAY. Bastard deserves it. FREQUENTLY.

4. Have a crush on: . . . it's a tossup between Sam or Gene. (YES, GENE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.)

8. Pair up: Sam/Gene. 'cause I'm like that. :P

9. Vote off the island and into the volcano: ::SHOVES RAY INTO AN ACTIVE VOLCANO:: WHOOPS, MY BAD.

10. Wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Well, Sam, of course, since he's the only one who would know what one IS. Plus, I could raid his music collection. WIN-WIN!

[bramblyhedge.livejournal.com]

(YES, GENE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.)

Oh don't worry - I <3 the Gene Genie too! :D

So if I'm around less than usual, that's why, sweethearts. (ARGH I HATE IT WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITHOUT THE INTERNET WHAT.)

Exactly! My dad always complains when I can't occupy myself when the internet's down.

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

UGH, that's what my mummy says too. I HATE IT WHEN SHE SAYS THAT. X____X

[msdillydally.livejournal.com]

My internet connection at home went wonky for about 5 hours yesterday, I thought I would go mad from the withdrawal. I didn't even need to do anything online but knowing I couldn't get online was the worst part.

So I understand your woes very well *hugs*

And meme wise: Stargate Atlantis :)

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

ARGH, SUCK! ::hugs you back:: It is a MADDENING feeling, srslyyyy.

Meme time! :D

1. Bake cupcakes for: Rodney!

2. Trust with the keys to my car: Um, I'm tempted to say Teyla, but she probably can't drive . . . so I'll go with Carson - he'd probably refill the tank for you before he brought it back too. :D

3. Put thumbtacks on the chair therof: WOOLSEY. (but maybe Rodney sometimes, if he really deserved it.)

4. Have a crush on: RODNEY. Or Radek . . . okay, Radek. ::hugs the fuzzy Czech::

6. Vote for President: Sam or Elizabeth, I think. GIRLIES!

7. Pick as my partner in a buddy movie: John Sheppard, 'cause that would be an AWESOME movie.

8. Pair up: JOHN/RODNEY. McShep is the LIFEBLOOD.

9. Vote off the island and into the volcano: Either Keller or Woolsey - BOTH IRRITATE ME.

10. Wheedle into fixing my MP3 player: Radek, 'cause he'd be a dear & actually do it without complaint, unlike certain other scientists . . . ;)

[nyoka.livejournal.com]

::glomps you a la Four & Romana::

EEEK, IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I'VE SEEN ANY BUFFY, BUT OKAY.

1. Bake cupcakes for: Willow! Then I'd seduce her with the frosting. ::winkwink::

2. Trust with the keys to my car: Tara - she's sweet & wouldn't crash it or get a ticket. & if she did, she'd own up to it & pay it.

3. Put thumbtacks on the chair therof: Maybe Spike, but that's because he just ANNOYS me now.

4. Have a crush on: GILES. or Ethan Rayne. I like 'em evil & British!

5. Pack up and leave if they moved next door: Faith. I love the girl & all, but I do NOT want to live anywhere near her.

6. Vote for President: Willow! She'd make things wonderful for geekalicious types like us!

7. Pick as my partner in a buddy movie: Xander. I always did fancy him & he amuses me happily. :D

8. Pair up: Willow/Giles = Four/Romana, y/n?

[velvet-midnight.livejournal.com]

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

OMG I LOVE TOP GEAR.

*ahem*

But BBC America BLOWS because they don't show the whole episodes. *kicks BBC America in the fanny for editing out Jennifer Saunders*

THIS FIC WAS DELISH. THIS WAS THE SUMMARY:

My name is Richard Hammond. I had an accident, and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, Jeremy Clarkson will stop yelling in my head.

I LAUGHED MYSELF SILLY. (& I've only seen the one ep with David Tennant in it!)

THAR BE FIC M'DEAR.

& 'cause this was the bit that made me giggle the most:

"There's no damn power steering! This thing weighs a ton and it corners like a water buffalo. It's like doing a high-speed chase in a tractor. The suspension is so soft it feels like you're going to be seasick, and not just in a cross-channel ferry way when you've had a couple too many and possibly some dodgy food, but a full-on, clinging to a yacht going around Cape Horn in a major storm way, and the two-litre engine seems to produce, oh, it must be as much as 40 brake horsepower. This is quite possibly the most useless car I have ever driven in my life."

Sam had finished his call on the radio and was looking strangely at Richard.

"Richard?"

"Yes?"

"Are you doing a review of this car while we're in a car chase?"
