Tremendulent!

Have I mentioned how much I hate moving? Because I hate moving. Even though we’re moving back to a city I liked and to a part of the country I LOVED (Scotland, you’re wonderful! An extremely close second to Wales.), I hate moving. I’ve really loved my job down here. The people I work with are just stellar. It can be so rare to work with a group of people who are just plain KIND. They’re funny and love to laugh and are so supportive. Not just personally, but if someone is struggling with their workload, at least three people will all at once say ‘What can I do to help?’ And they don’t do it to ‘get ahead’ or show anyone up, they do it because they honestly care about each other and I’m going to miss them SO MUCH.

It’s been very busy and I have this Het Big Bang to finish and dear God. Why didn’t someone stop me when I said, ‘Oh! I’m going to write a Hobbit!AU ghost story! That won’t be complicated AT ALL. I won’t go OVER 25,000 words. I won’t be currently at 31,000 words with NO END IN SIGHT and about to embark on a TWO WEEK holiday with my mother and her church group before MOVING TO SCOTLAND WHILST LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT. NO PROBLEM. I GOT THIS, Y’ALL.’

*facepalm* followed by *HEADDESK* Repeat, as necessary, ‘cause I’m not entirely sure that I got this, y’all.

Argh.

I did, however, have a fun moment the other day on the train into work. I was writing the first big kiss between my characters and listening to my iPod. It started off with the lovely score from North and South, the one where John and Margaret meet on the train platform. Then my iPod nicely segued into ‘Sex on Fire’ by Kings of Leon.

It kinda influenced the scene a bit, is what I’m saying. *snickers*

In other news, I’m loving the new Freeview channel over here. The Horror Channel! It plays really crappy horror films, PLUS Classic Doctor Who! We’ve been watching all the Tom Baker episodes for the last couple of weeks and it’s been AWESOME. The new Who season, starting with the Christopher Eccleston ones, really nicked a number of ideas from those eps, didn’t they? There’s also CBS Action Channel which is playing both the original Star Trek episodes AND The Next Generation. It’s brilliant!

Happy Friday! ♥

*Yep. Breaking out the Soapdish. It's been that kind of a week.

Just watched the latest Doctor Who.

Where's all the Emma/Alec fic? You know: Dougray Scott and Jessica Raine. Where's the fic?

I NEED IT.

Do NOT make me write it.

'Cause I will.

*facepalm*

PS This was the best ep I've seen in AGES.

THAT is what an episode of Doctor Who is supposed to be. ( Sort of spoilers )

Neil Gaiman please to be writing all of the episodes for everything ever.

I'm doing some plotting and writing today (does it count if the writing is in a notebook and not on a computer?) and I've run into a question.

I'm writing the next bit in the Eleven/Amy series and it's going all wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey on me. And my question is this:

How much influence do you think the TARDIS has over where they end up? My mind is drawing a bit of a blank, but I'm sure she's deposited the Doctor in places where he needed to do something, even if he doesn't know he needed to do something.

So, because I like polls:

[Poll #1674581]

Matt and Karen look adorable and thank you for helping!!!

Keeping this brief 'cause relatives are about to descend.

( What I thought: )

Oh, I caught an episode of Justified last night. Why hello, Timothy Olyphant in a cowboy hat. How you doin'?

This is not that day. :D

( My two pence about shipping Eleven/Amy )

Have I mentioned how much I love having a show I'm actually excited about watching? 'Cause I am. Oh, I've also started watching Ashes to Ashes. And everyone was right, this show is pretty much awesome, too.

I saw someone else call him the Hipster Who and I'm sticking with that for, well, the obvious reasons.

( Spoilery, spoilery thoughts )

And it appears I've started an Eleven/Amy series. I've got four stories already planned. Eep.

So. Doctor Who.

How happy am I to have a Doctor Who that I'm excited about? I'm kind of all aflail. It feels like Old Who and a little bit Nine.

Matt Smith is acting the heck out of this thing and Karen Gillian is too lovely for words.
