God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value*

[bending_sickle]

I went to the beach yesterday, and we all went to the beach today. Still have those damned tan-lines, but I think they're fading. And yesterday I wrote a good bit for the Doctor Who meets Stonehenge Apocalypse crack story, although I apparently tend towards serious and long-winded crack. *sigh*

I'm currently playing Echo Bazaar (Wikidot entry) which is a role playing game that you can only do in short little bursts (i.e. ten actions to a total of 50 per day). It's awesome, though, and this is coming from someone who's most recent experience in role playing games is Pick Your Own Adeventure...back in her wee years. But it takes place in Fallen London, so it's a bit HP Lovecraft and quirky. It's twitter-based (i.e. you log in via your twitter account). The Escapist's review describes it as:

Set in the world of Fallen London, it combines elements of tabletop gaming, Victorian England, RPGs, and social networking. Sporting a cheeky sense of humor and a Lovecraftian vibe, the game combines the addictiveness of grinding with an unusual and compelling story elements. While its browser-based gameplay is certainly quite entertaining, Echo Bazaar's real appeal lies in its robust mythology and surprisingly deep backstory, which you discover bit by tiny bit as you play. The world of Fallen London is a joy to explore, a weird and wonderful playground where clay men wrestle in pubs and you pay for your lodgings with cryptic secrets.

Come on, join up! I'll invite you over for tea or on a bank heist or whatever it is I can invite you to. Or don't, whatever, I'm just sharing the fun.

Did I mention I have a weasel? Yes I do :D

And again with the meme-as-content. Because the other option is to tell you how I opened a coconut using only a hammer and a mini-flathead screwdriver in twenty minutes [ETA: By which I mean, I totally made that cococunt coconut where did that typo come from, Frued?!? my prison bitch, and had it cracked open and completely gutted in twenty minutes) or how I'm currently re-translating everything at Internship into Spanish, which results in boredom and brief escapades into wikipedia where I learn about sky burials and The Thing and The Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Also, is 20 songs too long for a fanmix?

30 Days of Doctor Who: Day 01 - Your Favourite Quote: Multiple

Dalek: I am waiting for orders.
The Doctor: What does that mean?
Dalek: I am a soldier. I was bred to receive orders.
The Doctor: Well, you're never gonna get any. Not ever.
Dalek: I demand orders!

The Doctor: Ricky.
Mickey: It's Mickey!
The Doctor: No, it's Ricky.
Mickey: I think I know my own name!
The Doctor: You think you know your own name? How stupid are you?

Jack Harkness: [pointing his squareness gun at the empty people] Okay, this can function as a sonic blaster, a sonic cannon, and a triple-enfolded sonic disruptor. Doc, what you got?
The Doctor: A sonic... er... oh, never mind.
Jack Harkness: What?
The Doctor: It's sonic, okay? Let's leave it at that.
Jack Harkness: Disruptor? Cannon? What?
The Doctor: It's sonic! Totally sonic! I am sonic-ed up!
Jack Harkness: A sonic what?!
The Doctor: Screwdriver!
Jack Harkness: Who has a sonic screwdriver?
The Doctor: I do!
Jack Harkness: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks "Ooh, this could be a little more sonic"?
The Doctor: What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?

Margaret Blaine: I spared her life.
The Doctor: You let one of them go, but that's nothing new. Every now and then a little victim spared, because she smiled, 'cos he's got freckles, 'cos they begged. And that's how you live with yourself, that's how you slaughter millions. Because once in a while, on a whim, if the wind's blowing in the right direction, you happen to be kind.
Margaret Blaine: Only a killer would know that. Is that right? From what I've seen, your funny little happy-go-lucky life leaves devastation in its wake. Always moving on, because you dare not go back. Playing with so many peoples' lives - you might as well be a god. And you're right, Doctor, you're absolutely right; sometimes you let one go. Let me go.

Donna Noble: Wha—
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: Who're you?
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: Where am I?
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: What the hell is this place?!
The Doctor: What?!

Larry: And there he is.
Sally: The Doctor.
Larry: Who's the doctor?
Sally: He's the Doctor.
The Doctor: Yep, that's me.
Sally: Okay, that's scary.
Larry: No, it sounds like he's replying, but he always says that.
The Doctor: Yes I do.
Larry: And that.
The Doctor: Yep, and this.
Sally: He can hear us! Oh my God, you can really hear us!
Larry: Of course he can't hear us. Look, I've got a transcript, see? Everything he says: 'Yep, that's me,' 'Yes I do,' 'Yep, and this,' next is...
The Doctor and Larry: [in unison] Are you going to read out the whole thing?
Larry: [sheepishly] Sorry.

Albert: Excuse me, Prime Minister, but do you mind my asking, what is that?
Mr Saxon: [muffled] It's a gas mask.
Albert: I beg your pardon?
Mr Saxon: [lifting gas mask up] It's a gas mask. [smiles pleasantly, chuckles and replaces it on his face.]
Albert: Yes, but why are you wearing it?
Mr Saxon: [muffled] Well, because of the gas.
Albert: I'm sorry?
Mr Saxon: [lifts it again] Because of the gas. [replaces it again.]
Albert: What gas?!?
Mr Saxon: [leans back.] [muffled.] This gas.

Donna: I can't understand you... How many words? One! One word! Shake... milk-shake... milk?! No, not milk. Shake, shake, shake?! Cocktail shaker! What do you want, a Harvey Wallbanger?
The Doctor: HARVEY WALLBANGER?!
Donna: Well, I don't know!
The Doctor: How is "Harvey Wallbanger" one word?!

The Doctor: [bluntly] I'm going to die.
Wilfred: Well, so am I one day.
The Doctor: Don't you dare!
Wilfred: Alright, I'll try not to! [chuckles]

The Doctor: Parked us? But we haven't landed!
River Song: Of course we've landed; I just landed her.
The Doctor: But it didn't make the noise.
River Song: What noise?
The Doctor: You know, the... [does an impression of the TARDIS materialisation sound]
River Song: It's not supposed to make that noise. You leave the brakes on.
The Doctor: Yes, well, it's a brilliant noise. I love that noise.

The Doctor: [aiming gun at the ceiling] Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart. If you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap.
Angel Bob: And what would that be, sir?
The Doctor: Me. [fires]

Craig: Will it work?!
Doctor: Yes!
Craig: Are you sure?!
Doctor: Yes!
Craig: Is that a lie?!
Doctor: ...Of course it's a lie!

And while the meme specified multiple quotes - by which I understand dialogue - have some single lines that I love.

I made icons of these:
You're Mister Thick Thick Thickety Thickface from Thicktown, Thickania. And so's your dad.

It's me. I look a bit different, but it's me. It's the Doctor.

And of this one:

Just stand there 'cause I'm gonna hug you. Is that alright?

And these as well:

They can shoot me dead, but the moral highground is mine.

Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks "Ooh, this could be a little more sonic"?

[phantmgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

Thanks to your awesome LJ, I have finally started watching Supernatural! I just finished season 1, and haven't even started getting season 2 yet, but still! LOVE DEAN!!! *swoons*
You're the best!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

\o/ Whoot! Welcome to the fold! I'm here if you want to discuss anything or just share the squee :D So glad you're liking it!

And yes, Dean ♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

\o/ Meme win!

I'm actually really looking forward to you answering all those questions, so it too counts as content!

If you wondering where I've been -- my laptop broke down again, yes. And I missed you horribly! However, it does seem like my subconscious knows what is good for me after all, since I had two very nice dreams of you. Not that I remember what happened or anything, just that it was fluffy and cuddly and awesome, hee. ♥

(Also, fanmix away! I don't think 20 songs are too many, there's no such thing! :D)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

*glomps you hard* I've missed you too! And I find it adorably charming that you had fluffy dreams of me ♥

And yeah, the least I can make the fanmix is 19 (i.e. taking out the bonus). But that's a huuuge accomplishment if you consider the pages and pages of songs I had first listed as possibles.

In sum: ♥

[lienne.livejournal.com]

...so... much... meme...

<3

I opened a coconut using only a hammer and a mini-flathead screwdriver in twenty minutes

Dude, you're awesome.

[lienne.livejournal.com]

also I might just have a boo at that Echo Bazaar thing. :D

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

By "opened a coconut" I mean "cracked open and got all the yummy goodness out in delicious sizable chunks" and not just "oh, lookit, I can spy the insides!" So, yes: win.

Oh yes do go to Echo Bazaar!

[lienne.livejournal.com]

I am at this very moment escaping from... uh... somewhere.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

\o/

How to Play (http://www.mmorpg-info.org/echo-bazaar/how-to-play-echo-bazaar/) is particularly useful in getting and First Steps (http://echobazaar.wikidot.com/first-steps-in-detail) gives you the laydown.

[finaldiscussion.livejournal.com]

I just kinda jumped right in

the twitter I'm on it from is crashblossom

/invites you to play chess with me



ignore this journal XD

[finaldiscussion.livejournal.com]

unless you want to imagine Sherlock Holmes wandering London in a dress

then don't ignore the journal after all :D

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

unless you want to imagine Sherlock Holmes wandering London in a dress - *immediately does so* Sherlock looks surprisingly at ease :D

And of course I'll play chess! ...when I have actions again: I'm all down to zero and have to twiddle my thumbs for a while.

[finaldiscussion.livejournal.com]

I am also twiddling at the moment.

*twiddles with you*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

*smiles* My brain clearly recognizes you as a superior provider of all things schmoopy, is all. ♥

Aw, do I know the struggle with the elimination of possible-but-not-quite-fitting songs that try to sneak their way into a mix – however, I am prepared to break my laptop (again) with any amount of fanmixes you want to compile, so if you ask me, go crazy! ;)

*runs off to continue her Torchwood ficlet* *self-important cough*


Aaaand... me being random:

"David! *whispers* I've got cake!"

Awful singing (but mostly John Barrowman and David Tennant being dorks)

*rewatches and snickers herself silly* And you should as well! :D

What? What?! *insert Doctor voice* Watching this just became relevant to my interests all over again!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

♥! Links of win! Oh, I love the ice cream clip :D

Also - and you knew this was coming - *gimme Torchwood ficlet gimme gimme gimme*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm much too terrified to post it, ever, but it's still fun! ;)

*showers you with hearts* ♥

(Also, apropos of nothing, I'm currently outraged over a guy from my class who claims that DT is - get this - ugly. *shudders* I suspect he might be partially blind.)

Sorry for the deleted comment, grammar surprise and all.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm much too terrified to post it, ever, but it's still fun! ;) - What? What?!?



And while we're at it, I'm still waiting on your Nano. Come on. I can wait all day.

Alright, so Tennant isn't the traditional hunk of salty goodness, but he's not ugly. Your friend is being obtuse. *is childish*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Well, I, for one, find David gorgeous, but if anyone is being childish, it's definitely me. You wouldn't believe how much it grates me if someone disrespects, yeah, my fangirlish obsession of choice – I actually, sort of, understand it as a personal affront. No, really. I can get a little scary. *grins sheepishly* But, hey, someone's gotta defend my honour, right?



"I demand satisfaction, sir!"

*clears her throat* There's that, then.

So, about being terrified of posting: I kind of really admire you, Adri, you know that? Which absolutely includes your mad writing fu. And I kind of feel like Evgeny Kissin came to say hi, and would I mind playing him a tune or two, a little. And before you say anything, I know that's me being absolutely fucking stupid, I know it's all in my head, but I can't always squelch this horrible, stupid insecurity, gah. Surprise wibble, sorry sorry D: Just – you're pretty awesome, and I adore you, okay? Affirmative?

About my Nano, this is actually a funny story. See, I accidentally somehow managed to completely wreck my laptop, but don't you worry, I am a smart cookie, I've back-ups of my Nano, safely stashed on my USB stick. Then this girl from my class asks for my help, and then she needs to borrow my USB, and hey, I think, what could possibly happen if the Nano's not on there for a day or two ...

I need not speak any further, right? The Nano's gone, the notes are gone, the covers are gone, the soundtrack's gone. All gone! Perhaps, since I lost my Nano '08 as well, this is the universe's cursed way of telling me to stop being such an eejit and cease this annual madness, or perhaps I simply have to learn how to properly BACK UP SEMI-IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, damnit!

*clears her throat again*

Sorry? ♥

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Evgeny Kissin? I believe you meant Keyboard Cat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J---aiyznGQ). Seriously, that's me.

But come on, darling,



which means that you have nothing to be afraid of or shy about regarding your writing. You've done this thing! For fun! And it's about things we've both seen and liked! And you know I'm going to like it!

Also, sharing things makes things that much more fun.



About your Lack of Nano, the only way I can currently express myself is in Lolcats.









...I may have gone a bit overboard with the img src code. I apologize for NOTHING XD

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Okay, I might apologize for huge first image.

[seschat.livejournal.com]

You are not allowed to apologize for anything since your reply in its entirety filled me with huge amounts of joy! :D

And you're right, of course, about everything. This was just me, being silly. And if you want, I will share my fic from now on – if I ever finish the blasted thing, anyway, procrastinators united and all.

Also, I'm really sorry about how you won't get to read my Nano now at all, even though I promised. :/ I'm not sure whether I pimped out the cover to you yet, but since it's possibly the only thing not lost in regard to my Nano, I hope it's all right with you if I indulge myself a little, (idiot that I am).



And even though it's only a draft, I really liked the damned thing! :S

(Sorry for the belated reply! I'm currently working at this bakery slash café, and let me tell you, it is no fun.)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Yes! Share fic! \o/

And no, you never did pimp out the Nano cover, and can I just say? Totally awesome cover :D Poor Sam totally looks like he's been having migraines and been run over and set on fire and *tries to remember everything else that you made happen to him* I mourn the loss of your Nano, though. Although...you could write a short story version! A sort of summery of the plot? With, like, italics and parentheses in the narrative being all, "Look, there was more, okay, but Sammykins would rather not remember all that." Or just tell me what the whole story was going to be. (Why yes, I am very curious and tenacious!)

[seschat.livejournal.com]

*dances around* Thank you! I might be able to salvage the fanmix cover and the fanmix itself as well, but we'll see. The fanmix rocked!

And I did think about writing this short story version of my Nano, but I don't feel very connected to SPN at the moment, I don't know. :/ Maybe I will? If I do, you'll be the first I share it with, muahar. Also, I believe you mostly got all the things right that I tortured Sam with. Poor Sammykins, indeed. *pets*

Apropos of nothing, having to get up at 5.15 in the bloody morning sucks. What the hell were I thinking, accepting this stupid job?!? So much for holiday and relaxing before school starts up again.

/whiny rant

Love you! *huggles*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Also, I don't believe I've told you yet how much I adore all the Doctor Who quotes you posted.

*smiles happily*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

5:15 am is not time for a human being crawling out of bed, moaning and groaning and shaking their fist at the universe. (If you are not moaning, groaning or shaking your fist, why then you just have to hand in your humanity card right this instant, freak. ♥) Do they at least give you free muffins?

And yes! Fanmix! And short story version of Nano! *downs you in pompoms and enthusiasm*

*\o/*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Tsk - ye of little faith! I need an extra loud alarm and two back-up ones to wake up, and one unrelenting mother storming into the room at the latest possible moment to drag me out of bed with her own two hands. And I don't get even free muffins! (However, I do have to serve these pieces of fancy FANCY cake in the café, but they are ridiculously easy to mess up. If I do, I'm allowed to eat them. Heh! Ulterior motive much... ?)

♥

Dinosaurs!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Dinosaurs! Eeeeeee!

So are the fancy cakes actually good enough to "accidentally" mess up?

[seschat.livejournal.com]

They're actually quite good, certainly better than the bread and buns, but I'm, admittedly, much too terrified to explore my boss's seemingly boundless, but in truth slightly passive-aggressive patience. *grins*

Wish you were here and could see me mop all the floors. It's hot!

(Brilliant House fanfic?)

ALSO. This is where I work! (We have a website? Huh.)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

XD The pretzel at your bakery place amuses me. It's all chubby at the top and then all wimpy little whirls at the bottom like a body-builder who's focused too much on one half of their body. And the website needs more photos of fancy cakes!

*promises to read fanfic tomorrow* ♥ I totally need to watch House in order. *shakes fist at Italian television*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Why you be dissin' my pretzels??!!! D:

German TV never broadcasts anything decent, so I feel your pain. :/ What about watching it online? Although I do know how trying it can get to wait for every stream to load. *LE SIGH* Someday I'll just buy the whole series, I will.

*huggles* ♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5lO4hEAJHU

\o/

Your pretzels are amusing! They amuse me! That's a good thing! And besides, who cares what they look like as long as they're delicious. (They better be delicious, or I will mock in earnest.)

One day, I'll work through House in the same slow yet obsessive way I'm working through Grey's Anatomy. I've got a massive list of Shows to Watch to Completion, yo. (Of course I have a list...)

Pf, who are you, anyway, to judge my pretzels? You get your own, missy!

I also have a list! Currently I want to watch all of the new Doctor Who (woe on me, I stopped after the first two episodes), check out Merlin (do you know if it's any good?) and True Blood and (re-)watch Scrubs, especially the new seasons. Scrubs is good fun, I gave the first season to my cousin for her birthday, and we're having a good old time with it. JD ftw! (I secretly half-ship him with Dr. Cox, hee.)

Do you happen to have your list archived somewhere? (C'mon, I know you do, you geek. ♥)

I do have a list, as yet not posted, but I'll be fixing that soon ;)

And I've heard that Merlin is good, in the sense that it's good crack. Although anything with Anthony Stewart Head (aka Buffy's Giles) has to be worth watching. Scrubs is awesome. I decided is was awesome after only watching one episode. I've now watched...two. Yes, I'm so very behind.

Tsts, my Sickle. You gotta try harder at being a NERD.

I don't know the next best thing about Buffy other than the thing with "Captain John Hart" – what you mentioned the time we were talking about Torchwood. Angel's a spin-off of Buffy, no? Kinda like the whole deal with DW and TW?

Also, yes, the first episode of Scrubs is pretty damn awesome. *nudges you* Go on! Watch the rest! (Heheheh. Poor Sickle!)

OH AND YES.

Know what I did today? Ordered the first season of House! *fist pump*

And my mother's paying. *evil grin*

Heathen! Get thee to the Temple of Whedon now! Oh gods woman, I cannot stress enough how you should totally watch Buffy (Season 1 promos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rIH15UzYf0), from way back in 1997. Oh gods, I'm so old!) .

And Angel (Unaired Promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x1KSGm6Zek)) is a spin-off from Buffy's Season 2 featuring Buffy's ex-boyfriend (vampire who's all good and angsty and trying to redeem himself by saving people hunting things and some characters who leapt off of the Buffy wagon to hitch onto Angel's. It's a bit of a darker show, more grown up, but still awesome.

And while I'm pimping Whedon stuff, Firefly! (Fan Promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPu-vKM-8XM)) *points and dances and squees at it* You'll love all the people on that ship!

And Dollhouse (Promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDcEKo4V7fA)), which was also good.

*nudges back hard* ;)
