Huh.

Sometimes, I don't like updating. (I'd rather read what the actual interesting people I know have to say!) Mostly because I never think I have anything interesting to say & that I just take up space on everyone's flist. But here I am, updating anyway! ::has no self-control apparently::

♥ I'M OFF TO SEE NEIL GAIMAN IN JAPANTOWN ON OCTOBER THIRD OMGWHEE! ::squeals like the sillything she is:: I'm actually not sure if it's a proper signing or not, but even if it isn't I don't mind - NEIL GAIMAN, PEOPLE!!

(& even better is that I don't need to take my mummy, since it's during the afternoon. YAY NOT HAVING TO DRAG HER ALONG AGAIN!!)

Now the big question is OMG WHAT DO I WEEEAR? (principle-edict-rule number four of being the silly miss Sundayshape: When you know in advance that you're about to be within twenty or less feet of your idol/god/object of worship/crush/goddess/heroine/hero/inspiration, DRESS THE FUCK UP OMG. Now is NOT the time for bland dungarees & an unflattering top; make an effort & make yourself look fantastic!)

♥♥ I had a bit of a mishap with my hair recently. My hair was in desperate need of a trim, so I trimmed the ends off all neat & pretty & I shortened my bangs so that they actually looked the way they were intended to. That came out well. Then a few days later, I trimmed a bit more off one side & um, I sort of trimmed it rather shorter than the other side. So I have hair of two different lengths on each side. I'm not sure how noticeable it is, but it's probably somewhat noticeable. It's still fairly long, just . . . one side goes down my upper arm & the other one ends a little below my shoulder.

Yes, I'm aware that I probably look like a complete moron with my hair like that, but I don't want to fuck it up any more, so I'm going to let the shorter side grow out, then when both sides are long enough so that I can cut them a bit & still keep them at a nice length, I'll even them out.

Currently, I'm sort of like, 'o, whatever,' about it - I'm always ugly/unpretty/stupid looking, so what does this matter? I just look a bit worse for a time. Been there before, nothing new. & plus, it's not like I hacked my hair into David Tennant-esque spikes, so what's to be freaking out over? Hair grows back in time, nothing to panic over. Just gotta be patient & that's it.

(although if I had a figure like David's, or like Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I'd actually think about doing that. Rock-pixie hair is SO pretty!)

EDIT: Just straightened my hair out & it actually isn't that dramatic a difference - maybe half an inch's difference. I could just even it out now, but I think I'll just wait to do that anyway.

♥♥♥ OMG ELISABETH SLADEN IS ON THE COVER OF THIS MONTH'S DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE OMG. I saw that the new one was out earlier this week, but I had to wait until I got my ticket before I could run off & get it. OMG LIS LOOKS LOVELY. ::flails:: My (two*) copies are on my table now, but I can't read them until November, when series four débuts on region one here in the States. PATIENCE, SUNDAY. PATIENCE.

(actually, this issue has four different covers - I just saw Lis on the cover of this set, but there are three other versions, I think - [livejournal.com profile] backinblackk, did you know Julian Bleach is on one of them? He is!)

*I usually get two copies of some magazines so that I can read one, then chop up the other one for collages & whatnot. Doctor Who magazine is one of them. Art, not just me being completely cracked in the head!

♥♥♥♥ The Four/Romana smut that hides in my bookmarks seems to have increased in quantity lately. OOPS. except not, omg why isn't there mooooore? & for that matter, where the FUCK is all the Four/Master? COME ON! I mean . . . THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT TO BE LACKING.

♥♥♥♥♥ Most go & straighten out my hair now. I'm a bit tempted to leave it all curled & wild, as it is if I don't straighten it, but then it just looks like steel wool has been curled up & been glued atop my head. So I must apply the hot ceramic & oils to make it look halfway presentable.

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!

.I envy to murderous envy your lover. )

& 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.

♥♥♥ I got to see more Doctor Who last Sunday! I saw the full episode of Blink (::hides under bed::) & part of the double eps where Ten was human for a bit. (OMG HE KISSED GIRLS AT LEAST TWICE.) & OMG Martha is kind of AWESOME.

My mummy thinks my glasses DO resemble Ten's a bit. (but his are a lot darker & thicker-framed than mine; mine are pretty delicate looking & a rather faded black. But Ten is suddenly making me appreciate my glasses more! Well, him & my boything, who wants a picture of me in them. ::giggles::)

♥♥♥ Also on Sunday, I did the dumbest fucking thing. (at least for myself to do right before I go to bed at TWO IN THE FRAKKING MORNING.)

Brain: HEY! LET'S SCARE OURSELVES STUPID & READ ABOUT TORTURE PORN HORROR MOVIES!

Rest of silly Betsyshape: MAH BRAVERY, LET ME SHOW YOU IT!

Two hours later, at four in the morning: CAN'T SLEEP, JIGSAW WILL EAT ME.

Yeah, UM. The next time I decide that it's a FABULOUS idea to know the plots of all the Saw movies & both Hostel films before I go to bed, SOMEBODY DISTRACT ME WITH SOMETHING CUTE & FLUFFY, OKAY?

Apparently, the nightmares I had from the 30 Days of Night & Friday the 13th graphic novels didn't teach me a damn thing.

(but oooo, I loved the newest volume of 30 Days of Night!! The art = fucking hallucinogenic & I loved it.)

♥♥♥ I had the most romantic (& crackalicious) dream about Captain Jack Harkness last night. whee crackalicious romance! )

♥♥♥ I slept through April Fools Day. Bummer, 'cause I wanted to reread Arkham Asylum in celebration. (ack, I don't even KNOW where my copy is!)

♥♥♥ I literally banged my head into a wall in public on Monday. Why? Being out with my mummy will make me do that, it just will.

♥♥♥ I WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE SERIES TWO OF DOCTOR WHO ON SATURDAY. DAVID TENANNT GOODNESS, HERE I COME.

& speaking of Tennant goodness, there's been a lot of David love floating around my flist lately! THIS IS A GOOD THING. BUT I NEED MORE. FRIDAY & SATURDAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH.

♥♥♥ I haven't listened to this song properly in a while. ♥♥♥

♥♥♥ One more thing some of you may like. Y HELLO THAR JOHN BARROWMAN, MAY I BORROW A CUP OF SEXY TODAY?
