I was finally properly tagged for this meme by velvet_midnight! (I know, I could have done it any time, but it made me feel kind of warm that someone tagged me proper. I'm silly, I know!)

THE HAPPINESS MEME

Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.

Day one

♥♥ Getting a brand new copy of Haruki Murakami's Kafka On the Shore at Borders & with all my savings, getting the price knocked down from fifteen dollars to five. ::bounces::

I don't tag people, but anyone who's eyes see this post & haven't done it yet? I AM TAGGING YOU.

♥♥♥♥

Most of my New Year's Day was spent lying about in my pyjamas & watching Two & Seven serials, then trekking down to the bookshop in the late & very foggy afternoon, both of which were most delightful ways to spend the new year!

At home, whilst watching The Invasion, which I quite enjoyed, even if the animation gave me a bit of the twitches on occasion I somehow&suddenly a) came up with a rather cracky thought for a spot of Two/Jamie/Zoe smut (& I SWORE I'D NOT SHIP HER WITH EITHER OF THEM, ZOE IS TOO AWESOME FOR THEM.) & b) don't even know how I managed not to scream every ten seconds, 'JAMIE, YOU & TWO ARE SO MARRIED & IT IS TOO CUTE TO BE LEGAL.'

Two/Jamie subtext? Piffle&poppycock! Two/Jamie is TEXT! THIS IS NOT DEBATABLE. I may need to picspam them at some point. Silly yet tough bendy little men with sneaky charm & adorable eighteenth century (o, FUCK, I hope I got that right!) Scottish boys FTFW!

(& bugger, I realised I might indeed, finally have a tiny crush on Two. BUT THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I'D TOTALLY BE WOULD BE JUST SLIGHTLY CHARMED BY HIS FUNNY LITTLE FACE & HIS BRILLIANCE & WIT, OKAY?)

Seven reminded me just a bit of Two in Survival. Not personality-wise, but in the clothes sense, I think. MORE funny little bendy men in equally funny clothes! But I loved Survival loads & ZOMG ACE! She is MADE of badassery & I WANT MORE.

(&.um.er. Is it wrong of me that I kiiiiind of found Sylvester McCoy really rather handsome? I completely did. & like Peter Davison, he still looks gorgeous now!)

Ah, I missed the Master. ::ignores the fact that she just saw him in Logopolis:: Though he reminded me very much of a vampire in this story, but Ainley!Master has a tendency to do that. Sort of look like how I sort of imagined Bram Stoker's Dracula to look when he arrived in London. (& black velvet! Sigh! Legendary, yes.)

(this has nothing to do with the fact that I think Eight would make a nice vampire, mind you. ::hides face:: But he would, yes? All that velvet & those curls & that sensuous, soft voice of his . . . well, okay, I think he would. But he'd be a real vampire, none of this saddled-with-a-soul, non-blood drinking, no-fanged, glittery silliness! Think Zagreus, but Eight fully in control & enjoying it. & if you had any idea how fucking hard I am trying to not write that, you'd be amazed at my willpower. Someone alert me when there's another multifandom or Who-centric cliche fic challenge? THEN I'll write it.)

& incidentally, I would have been eight months old when that episode aired. Eight months. A little over the half a year mark. One higher than a number I hold a bit close to my heart. The designation of my second Doctor.

Sometimes, even though it may not seem like it, my life revolves around certain numbers or certain groupings of numbers.

It's very odd. My life is all about words, but sometimes, numbers slip under the doors when I don't realise it.

I feel like writing random, nonsensical verse-ficlet of the Two/Jamie variety & I will, actually, as soon as I get this out of my Semagic & get some cherry Coke.

I cannot have Two & Jamie living in my head. Not with Eight & Sarah! O, THE HAVOC. & POSSIBLY THE FIC. & Eight & Two are so going to fight over music. I know this.

I feel the need to say I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WOULD LIKE FIVE. :P

I've got to see some Two/Jamie eps! I saw the beginning of one a while ago but I can't remember what it was called D: I believe it had some Cybermen in it though? But I do love Two, since I got The Five Doctors as a Christmas present, and thoroughly adored Two in it!

... don't even get me started on vampires darling. *has fallen hard for Carlisle Cullen* I mean, really, I found a copy of Twilight online (the movie, not the book. Icky book.) and I've seriously just been watching and re-watching the parts he's in. (http://i39.tinypic.com/2dl6qls.gif SO GORGEOUS WHAT THE HELL)

Mmm, cherry Coke! I'm currently drinking diet Coke with lime. We are almost-sort-of-not-really drink twins :)

... I think I may actually do this meme now. I've been putting it off for about a week D:

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

I WILL LET YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU WERE VERY RIGHT. :D Perhaps Five is like a fine wine - gets better the more you see him! (I know that is MOST CERTAINLY true for Peter Davison! Like good wine, he gets better with age. :D)

OMG YOU SO.TOTALLY.DO. Two is AWESOME & Jamie is adorable & rather feisty, I must say! (& he's quite pretty in his kilt. O siiiiigh!) Are you sure it wasn't The Invasion? It might not have been, since Jamie & Zoe say that they've met Cybermen before in that ep, if I remember right. (at least Jamie does, anyway) & random factoid: I be a-writing that weird Two/Jamie verse-fic right now! & I LIKE IT. :O WHUT.

Isn't Two just FAB in The Five Doctors? But I think he's utterly ADORABLE in The Three Doctors my own self! :D (& I SWEAR, he's ever so slightly flirty with Jo!)

::stabs that damn book in the heart:: (sorry love, couldn't help it! :P) From what I've seen, I can MAYBE pat that crummy film & book on the head VERY FAST for giving us that very pretty creature.

(but really, wouldn't Eight make a lovely vampire? Think about it - a proper one of course! GAH I WANT TO WRITE VAMPIRE!EIGHT/CHARLEY SO DAMN BADLY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW, GIRL.)

::clinks glasses with you:: To hell with the technicalities! WE BE DRINK TWINS! :D

O, yay! I'd love to see you do it. ^___^

[backinblackk.livejournal.com]

I liked Five the second I saw him, but we know that I'm all about the shallow end of the pool. This might have something to do with the fact that I can't swim, or y'know, I just like pretty men.

I don't remember D: It was so long ago and it was one of those unlabeled ones that are on Youtube. But I remember I did love them, lots! And now I have to see more of them so I can read/understand this fic! (I keep typing can as 'caan'. Dalek Caan, get out of my head!)

YES YES YES! Him with his big furry coat! And the Brig was a bit dashing there, hee.

*stabs with you* Ugh, that book. My 1/4 complete NaNo novel is better than that book. And I think it might be longer too, haha. BUT STILL. And the movie is so LOL-worthy that it's ridiculous. Robert Pattinson just makes me giggle with his horrible over-acting. I'll take him in Harry Potter any day, thanks.

(And yes, he would. Eight does not need any of this sparkling business to be ~dazzling~. WRITE WRITE WRITE WRITE

Sometimes, even though it may not seem like it, my life revolves around certain numbers or certain groupings of numbers.

I feel you on that. There are a couple of different numbers that seem to interwoven through my life, in that they crop up when I least expect them. It's maddening, really. I suspect that one of them is "my" number, but I'm just not sure which: 7 or 19. :/

Also, YAYS for getting things for cheap. :) :)

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

It IS maddening, I find it utterly fascinating, though I'm rubbish at maths & things of that nature. But still, certain numbers push in-between the words I surround myself with, forcing me to look at them. Why, I do not know. Though I wish I did sometimes.

YES! Cheap this make me a happy kitty! :D

[yourgravity.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. It's fascinating really; 19 kinda started cropping up in my life about four years back, sneaky little number. Then I met Trevor whose favorite number is 19, and that was an odd coincidence. I'm trying to claim 7 as "my" number, but 19 won't go away. Yet.

WHUT YOU MUST RECTIFY THIS IMMEDIATELY! Starting with some Classic!Who of course, then some New!Who! ;)

::tackleglomps you rather randomly::

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

But...I don't like vampires. D:

Couldn't he been an incubus or something? Then he'd HAVE to have sex with people!

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

. . . Good point, actually . . . okay, I will have Vampiric!Eight, since he's the only thing I'd not mind seeing with fangs & blood dripping down the side of his neck & YOU can have Incubus!Eight but you HAVE to share, lassie! since you made a good point that I COMPLETELY overlooked. (THE SHAME!) See? Everyone wins! :D
