I have been sifting through the anonymous love meme and posting love for the people I love, but there are not enough people I love there. Please go and play and I will come and tell you all how much I love you.
In other news, I am reading Gaudy Night and watching Destiny of the Daleks. Not quite at the same time, but almost. And filling in forms. The novelty of filling in forms is slowly wearing off, but only slowly. On that note, am panicking slightly about subfusc. Everyone else has order forms and I don't, dammit.
In short, I am much too busy. I still have fics to write for people, which I shall do, but in the meantime you can all entertain me. Comment and tell me something amusing or random or just something you've always wanted to tell me or write me a drabble or upload a song or you know, something. It will distract me from the thrillingness which is writing out my next-of-kin details five times in a row.

on 2005-08-24 11:45 am (UTC)It wasn't that he'd never met another version of himself. No, on the contrary, there were times when he couldn't metaphorically pop to the shops for a pint of milk without bumping into another Doctor, which went some way to explaining why the High Council was always so annoyed with him.
This latest one, however...
"Well, I thought she was very attractive," Romana said, trotting ahead of him into the TARDIS. Behind them, its twin dematerialized with a whir of engines that was reassuringly familiar. Times changed and so would he - into a woman, apparently - but the TARDIS stayed ever the same.
He frowned, thinking about that. Tenth regeneration, she'd said, and he (or she) still hadn't taken the old girl to Logopolis to get the chameleon circuit looked at? Dear, dear.
Romana was still singing his future self's praises as he set the coordinates. "She was like... oh, like fresh air. And it's remarkable how much your taste in clothing must be going to improve."
He was torn between preening at the compliment - she was him, after all, even if she was a she - and affront at the implication that he was like a shut-up room that couldn't dress itself in the dark. "Oh, some would say improve," he sniffed. "I think she lacked a certain essential elegance, myself."
"I suppose you think she'd look better with five yards of wool swathed around her neck?"
He tried to convey, with a shrug, that in his opinion there were few people who wouldn't.
A moment later, there was a gentle tug on his scarf. "Yes? What?"
Romana smiled impishly - and, to his surprise, a little shyly. "I didn't like her better than you."
And suddenly, the other Doctor's parting words - "you should go for it, you know. She won't say no." - made perfect sense.

This is LOVE.

on 2005-08-24 02:51 pm (UTC)Anyway. Songs!
Rufus Wainwright: Vibrate. (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3MVDV761J67AL1BHYADR588HTA) Pretty lyrics and pretty tune. Natasha (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=09JMPNM8NHLQJ1EBN7EI7M364T) also by Rufus Wainwright. Also pretty lyrics and pretty tune.
Andrew Bird: A nervous tic motion of the head to the left (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=18MXSE2WWJVG81R6FOSZWCJX6Z).: Interesting lyrics and funky tune. Lots of violin and other instruments apparently all played by the same person. Also by Andrew Bird, Fake palindromes (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3SURZBKPRJYTX2O2Z9ZCI5IRSM) which also has funky interesting lyrics and a cool tune. And Measuring cups (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=16NIE7HQIW35Q3DX5CIMB2W89E)
Fiona Apple: Not about love (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2DJP25DSXTQ8C0PYSGFZ60KLSU). Cool sounding song with good lyrics. From the same album as the "Not about love", Extraordinary machine (http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0CAR12IRJK1C6104QDQQ3XY0IO). Also funky tune. The album was never released because Sony thought it wouldn't sell.
Sufjan Stevens: John Wayne Gacy Jr (http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3OWJ9BBODTSJI13ZHP4OQ1L78B), a sad pretty song. Also by Sufjan Stevens: Casimir Pulaski day"The Black Hawk War, Or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization And Still Feel Good About Yourself In The Morning, Or, We Apologize For The Inconvenience But You're Going To Have To Leave Now, Or, 'I Have Fought The Big Knives And Will Continue To Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'" (http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1CZOBNYXFCR4I0UUWC5X6W6PXU). There's a chance Yousendit might of blocked that one, if it has tell me and I'll reupload it at rapidshare.
Devendra Banhart: Will is my friend (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0ZSVZIPKQC15S3PPJJAHASR99A). It's a pretty song.
Rilo Kiley: So it's exactly anywhere near Christmas but this is still a pretty song, Xmas cake (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1D7FLZR3C4GC02OKZWQC4G1PIR). Another Rilo Kiley song, A man, me, then Jim (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=232GLTLU3BNL20AGMKCT6FV19R). It's upbeat but sad.
I have the line "I'm a modern girl but I fold in half so easily" of this song engraved on the back of my iPod, < a href="http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1MJ5TUODLKCAC04DOLSERZIAI4">Pictures of success.
Jenny Lewis (the lead singer of Rilo Kiley): Interesting, pretty lyrics: Rabbit fur coat (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=22U2QBGQAMNNZ3K4Z5266ERF9H).

on 2005-08-24 03:42 pm (UTC)A winning combination! Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane are sort of Four/Romana-ish. Or vice versa...

The Lanky bugger
on 2005-08-26 03:40 pm (UTC)who was irredeemably bored
So he grabbed Captin Jack,
Threw him on his back
And did something that you lot adored.
