So, that giant, link-stuffed-like-a-Christmas-turkey Jamie spam I spoke of before? WELL HERE IT IS. & I do hope at least one person on my flist enjoys it other than me . . . but how could you not? It's Jamie!

This was going to be a Valentines' Day post, but damn, I didn't make it. Ah, what the hell - I don't need a reason to celebrate one of my favourite companions of all of Classic!Who, do I? Of course not! So I hope everyone enjoys it, I am a bit sorry for the massiveness of this post, but . . . I just really love Jamie! He doesn't get enough love in my opinion, so I'm giving him some. (& no, that isn't an innuendo ~~for a change~~.)

♥♥ If you think this is dial-up friendly WHATSOEVER, then you are VERY wrong. ♥♥

Pictures are either my own caps, or from The Tragical History Tour. So basically, all snaggable.

By the way guys - this spam? IT TOTALLY CRASHED MY SEMAGIC CLIENT. ::dies:: See? I TOLD you Jamie was just a little too hot for anyone to handle! ::laughs::

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel accomplished
listening to Iron & Wine ♦ Jezebel

To say that I have no idea of what to preface this mix with would be an understatement. One can interpret this mix & what lies beyond the cut any way they like - fact, fiction, or a combination of both.

(if it's honesty you want, even an unbelievable-but-believable-from-this-strange-girl sort of honesty, well, then, I will give you some. This isn't entirely a story. But it's for you to pick the fact from fiction like carrion from decaying birds. Good luck.)

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel tired
listening to Emilie Autumn ♦ Gothic Lolita

Um.

Music is a lovely thing, isn't it? (& I SWEAR, I haven't forgotten the fanmix meme! I've one left to do & then everyone gets theirs. Promise!) So I'm going to give you some tonight! Free music & whatnot = ♥♥♥

Genesis - Me and Sarah Jane

Me and Sarah Jane, we had a special thing goin’
Me and Sarah Jane
It was a time of love and laughter. It wouldn’t come again
We had our round of joyful laughter
Then began the pain
Me and Sarah Jane, we had a special thing goin’
Me and Sarah Jane

. . . . .

And now the city lights are dimmin’ one by one,
It costs too much money to keep them on
Me and Sarah Jane, in silence walk along the shore,
Tears of joy and mocking laughter, words lost in the wind
The tide was risin’
but there we stayed,
We had no fear of dying, we weren’t afraid

OLIVIA inspi' REIRA - A Little Pain

Disarm the dream tickler
In the constant moment
(You will find me where it's quiet
Listen closely listen closely)

Let the blood flow
Through all the spaces
Of the universe

(OLIVIA did this for the NANA anime, which still hasn't been licensed here in the States, sadly. Her Reira is wonderful & this is one of my favourite songs she did.)

Le Tigre - Fake French

(I like this song - it wouldn't make a lot of sense if you just read the lyrics, but Le Tigre are awesome. So download it.)

OLIVIA - Sea Me

Moondrops rain down from the clouds
They glow as they spin and fall
And it lights up the sea

Emilie Autumn - Liar

I want to hold you to the sun
I want to be your faithful one
I want to show you all the beauty
You don't even know you hold
I'm hurting you for your own good
I'd die for you - you know I would

. . . .

Are you suffering?
Show me your suffering
I want your beautiful suffering
I want to see your pain
Are you suffering?
Show me your suffering
I want your beautiful suffering
I want it
I want it

Neko Case - In California

(I uploaded this for something, but I've long forgot for what, exactly. So you can have it!)

Veruca Salt - Wolf

That was a time for falling, I knew you well
There was no time for calling me when you fell
This is a time to take cover in a wishing well
Summer was blowing all over me when you fell

. . . .

Angels can be so deceiving when they love you well
Did you think you would be leaving me?
These are some lavender flowers in a broken shell
They comfort me ever since the day when you fell

. . . . .

This is a time for believing in fairytales

& commenting if you take anything is nice, so I can keep uploading music for everyone!

( & for a time )

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel sad
listening to Thea Gilmore ♦ Going Down

Mmph. Two posts tonight. Possibly. (shhhh.)

Fanbunny things first!

☀ ☀ ☀

morgaine22, in honour of S5 of SGA premiering this week, has been holding an week long SGA party at her LJ! She just capped the week off with this absolutely adorable John/Rodney fic (plus a manip!): Rodney Has Cheeseburger - McSheppy KITTY crack of PURE FRAKKING AWESOME. ALL OF YOU. GO. READ. COMMENT. THEY ARE CATS, GET YOURSELF OVER THERE.

☀ ☀ ☀ HOW DOES EVERYBODY FEEL ABOUT A BIG OL' BILLIE PIPER LIP!SPAM? You like that? THEN HERE, HAVE THE SEQUEL FEATURING DAVID & BILLIE LIP!SPAM ACTION AS BROUGHT TO US BY THE INDOMITABLE katrina87!

alli_everyday, GET YOURSELF OVER THERE ASAP PLZ.

☀ ☀ ☀ A brief stopover in the Supernatural fandom brought me this: What Kind of Day Has It Been?, by

musesfool. Crossover, Supernatural/Muppets. YES, PEOPLE, SUPERNATURAL/MUPPETS. BEST CROSSOVER EVAR, YO.

☀ ☀ ☀ Have procured a bit more vintage!Who for myself! Just one serial, as I couldn't afford City of Death (read: I's a cheap kitten) & the two places I went to didn't have Genesis of the Daleks. WHAT THE HELL.

But not to despair! I got Robot instead! Now excuse me while I get all capslocky with HAPPY.

- ZOMG HARRY!! (yes, I HAVE to double the exclamation points, my love for him has grown at least five times bigger than before) UNDERCOVER!HARRY! & SARAH! HER CLOTHES OMFG. I want all of them. Or at least bits & pieces of them. & ASDFGHJKL;LKJHGFDSA FOUR. GUH. Just . . . GUH. LOVE LIKE WHOA OMG. (& yes, my Harry/Sarah fangirlishness was quite high when they were locked in the room together. HARRY/SARAH WHEE.)

- Also? I LOVES THE BRIGADIER. He is AWESOME. & Benton is TEHLOLZ. I love his totally obvious crush on Sarah. Aww, is cute. Also, I think I could like UNIT. I'd taken them to be cold-hearted, evil, Doctor-hating bastards, but they couldn't be more different! (Well, at least what I've seen so far.)

- DUDES, FOUR. I am kind of NOT KIDDING when I say that he could possibly overtake Ten as my favourite Doctor. Just . . . I can't describe it, but I adore him! O, wait, maybe I can - he makes me think of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. He has that sort of playful, nonsensical aura around him, or at least that's how I see him a bit of the time. He's the sort of fellow you could totally imagine at one of the Hatter's teaparties, isn't he? He would bring the jelly babies, of course, & maybe a tale or two while you wait for your tea to cool.

Also, I see a lot of Four when I look at Ten. It's quite wonderful, really. Ten, though, is far more dreamlike than Four is, I think. More ethereal, in some ways. When he talks, I think. Not in the hyperactive way he usually does, but in that quiet, serious way he has. I see Four in him most of the rest of the time, especially when he's with Rose & Martha & wearing that utterly mad grin on his face.

Ten is a bit of restless starlight. Four is the earthier point of origin. Ten is a bit more spacefae, Four is just a little more fey.

::giggles:: O, listen to me, talking as if I know anything! I'm such a silly girl.

☀ ☀ ☀ I suddenly have a fierce desire to make a mixthing for Harry Sullivan. HE IS NOT GIVEN ENOUGH LOVE, BUT HE DESERVES IT.

& now, the girlishness! (the discussion of the Four/Sarah smut I may or may not have found will be saved for another time.)

☀ ☀ ☀ I discovered the cutest blogthing today! Cocoa! It is simply the sweetest & loveliest blogs that I've come across in recent days. So many lovely & inspiring articles!

♥ Alice in Wonderland style! O, I want! (I really must get started on clearing my trunk out & making room for pretty, proper clothes.)

♥ Dressing Like Your Heroes - I am just in.love. with this article! Though I have been doing this when the weather's good - my riverdresses & Four-inspired style! (O, I just loved that outfit. I must recreate it!) All of you, go, go see it!

♥ Sweet & Sour Girls - hee, a perfect way to describe moi. I mean, really, just look at this post. ♥

♥ How To Throw A Smashing Tea Party - I'm actually expressly forbidden to have people visit my (rather drab) home by my father, but I would simply love to throw a proper tea party! This is the sort of social entertaining that I am not at all adverse to!

(hmm. I really want to have a Hello Kitty picnic in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park this summer. 'Tis a pity that I have no one to invite to one!)

♥ Alice In Wonderland Photoshoot by Annie Leibovitz.

::giggles:: I'm mostly posting this because the last picture reminds me of Ten in The Girl in the Fireplace! But isn't it just a lovely world nonetheless? & I also found this gem linked in Miss Penelope's comments!

♥ (lost in wonderland)

I felt that this deserved a mention all its own, it's that beautiful.

♥ & lastly, an interview with Miss Penelope herself!

☀ ☀ ☀ I've been doing a spot of reading lately, though not nearly as much as I did in my younger years.

I finished Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood this morning. I quite liked it, very much, in fact. It was beautiful, but with such a thin, yet piercing layer of sadness to it. Up next is South of the Border, West of the Sun. I'm also rereading Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which is fantastic & sexy, all things such books should be. I can't wait to see Billie in the role!

I also find that it's time for me to reread Lolita again. (of course my lusting after the Fourth Doctor has inspired this, whatever did you think?) I miss that book greatly. & I've an urge to see the original film again. (I've a copy of the 1997 version, but I've not seen it since I was fourteen, I think.)

☀ ☀ ☀ & lastly, have a song!

Bjork - Pluto

(& I do want to say thankyou to everyone who commented on my last post. You are all so lovely & I just don't deserve you all. ♥♥♥)

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel indescribable
listening to OLIVIA ♦ Stars Shining Out

Um.

Too much real life on here, not enough free stuff & fun things. So have some music!

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Sick Child

& nd I know I never knew you
your mind your pain I will melt your winter tears
If you say you will
if you could say you will

. . . .

Melancholia colliding out of mind
In a silver swirl I take a lungful in
Blow a fistful out if you could say you will

King of moon gloomy afternoon
Losing track of word & meter
Make your final touch people talk too much
Madman screams an unknown language

I ♥ this song like whoa right now. It's so deliciously Doctor/Master.

Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick & thin
He will wait until you give yourself to him

. . . .

Under a blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

I honestly hadn't listened to this song since my Supernatural days (& lately I totally miss that show) but I gave it a listen with (what else?) a Doctor/Master twist in mind & what do you know, it's another fabulous song for them! Plus, it makes me want to write a ridiculously long, dialogue-heavy, moody, mindfucking memory piece that ends with some decently half-angst-free sexing between the both of them. I won't, but fuck, this song makes me want that. Badly.

Tori Amos - I'm Not In Love (10cc cover)

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase
I'm going through
& just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
Don't think you got it made

. . .

I said
I'd like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if i call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us

This is another song that makes me want to write some seriously depressing, miserable sex&memory fic for Ten & the Master. I might, actually, in the next prompt round I do, since I don't know if I could sustain the idea for over a thousand words successfully. Also, I feel like making the Doctor hurt a bit somehow. ::smiles rather innocently::

(& comment if you download please.)

I've been a bit lazy about working on most of the fics I should be doing. Not the sort of lazy where I'll never do them, just the sort of lazy where most of my brain has been eaten by one particular story, so the rest aren't getting as much attention as they should be. But I'll admit to being rather lazy/slack/slowed down on the Ten & River mixed-media second story I'm trying to shape out. Doing a mixed-media fic is a lot harder when you have to sustain it for several short pieces that all end up connecting into one story.

I'm hoping my Ten/Rose/Reinette piece will be started soon - I'm actually looking forward to working on that, even if I've only got half the logistics for how to get them all properly sexing at once worked out. But I'll just start putting down what I have & edit & restring it all afterward.

I've also got the next round of my strange, mixed-media ficlets to get back to working on - I'm both happy & utterly terrified of it being a second Doctor/Master round.

Beyond writing, I finished working on something for

lost_little_nat tonight, now I just need to get it into the mail. (nooo, Tashi, I'm not telling you what it is yet!)

I also bought my first Moleskine yesterday. I wanted to buy a new purple pen to write in it with, but the type of pen I wanted I couldn't find at the drugstore. I may have to pay a visit elsewhere to see if they still make that sort.

I still haven't actually put anything in ~~her~~ it yet. I'm too afraid of desecrating the pages with my idiocy.

Can people name their Moleskines? Or is that strictly an Elizabeth-Betsy-Sunday sort of thing to do?

&&&

Lately, I've felt in-between names.

By that I mean, I feel like I'm still an Elizabeth, but I'm wondering if it's time to start exploring a new name for myself.

Sometimes I wonder if I really should just stay with one name forever, but there are so many beautiful names out there! How can a person decide they want to be known by one name for the rest of their lives? How do you do it? One name for the next eight or more decades of your life! I honestly can't even try & wrap my head around how people stay with one name for their whole lives sometimes. It's just so alien to me.

But then, so are most things people do.

&&&

My sleeping pattern is all wrong lately. Or really, I should say that it's all right suddenly. For the last few days I've been going to sleep at actual proper hours & waking up at decent hours, not staying up until my room's blue with light or sleeping until four in the afternoon, which is generally how I end up sleeping, though the hours can vary by a wide margin.

I suppose I just haven't been able to justify making myself stay up lately. But I hate sleeping too - I tend to lie there & just remember all of the awful things I've done in my life, or I pick away at myself for not being good enough at everything I do. Or I just tear myself down repeatedly until I fall asleep then forget it until the next moment of quiet I have the next day. But if I stay up when I'm tired, I just get even more erratic in my emotions & in my thought processes until I just can't form a normal, healthy thought of any kind.

Fuck. If you made it through my babble, you should have another song!

The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
