Dilemma: Give in and watch the five or so Doctor Who episodes I have missed, but so want to watch. Or wait until the season is over and watch it all at once, like I prefer.

Hmmm.. Choices.

I cried. A lot. In fact, I'm still sniffling a bit, though that has less to do with the episode and more to do with the cold I'm coming down with.

Still. Major over emotional crying there.

I think I'm going to read some fanfiction now. With Ten. I need comfort fiction.

Finally got around to watching it, which, seeing the end, I now believe was really stupid. I should have waited until Part 2 aired, that way I could watch them back to back. *sigh*

And this has nothing to do with Doctor Who, but I just thought I'd share my word count for the year:

77,373

Not a whole lot considering several people on my flist wrote 50,000 in a month, but still good for me. My goal this year was at least 75,000 (my goal last year was 50,000. I'm slowly working up.) and I surpassed that, so I'm happy. :) Next year's goal? 100,000. And I'm planning on signing up for the Supernatural Big Bang (that lawyer!Sam bunny won't go away!) so that will be at least 20,000 right there.


Oh, and my bandwidth on photobucket was apparently used up, so all my graphics (with the exception of my banner) are turning into those ugly photobucket images. This is sad. *pouts*

So I signed up for the Doctor/Rose Woulda Coulda Shoulda Fic-athon, in the hopes of kicking my butt back into writing gear. Of course, adding one more story to the list of stories I need to get done when I'm in the middle of a writing funk might not be the smartest idea, but I couldn't resist. I'd already missed the sign up deadline for the Doctor/Rose LAS (again) and this sounded too awesome.


Now I seriously need to write something.

So, I just downloaded Doctor Who the movie, and I gotta say, I wasn't too impressed with it. A lot of things sort of happened without explanation, like why the Eye of Harmony needed a human to open it, how come the Doctor was suddenly half human, and how going back in time before the Eye of Harmony was opened fixed everything. After all, them going back in time didn't change the fact that it was opened on earth before so why was everything okay? I was rather confused.

Also, I thought Eric Roberts performance as the Master was over the top and cheesy. And did the Master usually growl in the original series? 'Cause that's not something I remember about him in season three of New Who. Very strange.

I did, however, like Eight. He was cute and fun and his curls were pretty. And I liked the cravat.


In other news, the numbing stuff from the dentist has worn off and my teeth are seriously killing me. I want to like, bit and gnaw at something. It's driving me up the wall.

So, I went ahead and rewatched the rest of season 1 of Doctor Who--plus the Christmas Special. And you know, every time I get to the end of Parting of the Ways I'm always just as sad as the first time I watched it. I loved Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. But then, it only takes the first few moments of David Tennant talking in front of the Sycorax to make me fall in love with Ten again. :) This upcoming regeneration is going to be rough--the first time I ever watch when it actually happens on the show, rather than years afterwards when I've already seen episodes with the next Doctor.

Anyway, I made another banner. This one for Parting of the Ways. I should probably be writing--I still have several drabbles (ficlets) that I owe to people and I need to get started on my chapter story I have planned, but I can't seem to get the motivation. I feel very lazy, and making graphics is relaxing for me. I stress out over my writing. But don't worry, I won't be able to ignore my word processing program for long.


Oh! and look! Rounded corners! It took me ages to learn how to do this, and when I finally did I couldn't figure out how to make the corners transparent. Finally, I just zoomed in and erased the corners pixel by pixel. If someone knows of an easier way, please let me know. :)

Enough rambling. On to the banner.

Experimented with this one a bit.

So, I know it only been like, a couple of days since I posted my whole "going on a break" entry, but I can't sleep thanks to this SERIOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE UTI that I'm currently enduring, and I'm pretty ticked off right now 'cause of my roommate and her boyfriend.

They've been seriously annoying me lately. He's been here, staying in this extremely tiny room for nearly THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT, and today, when my RA came to ask where we were living next semester, he was the one who opened the door. And apparently she smells something on his jacket or something, because five minutes later we have the police at our door, wanting to do a SEARCH for MARIJUANA.

Great. Just great.

Of course, they didn't find anything--although I know Carlton does smoke it, just not here. It would be disrespectful, he says--but still. They went through the whole process of looking through our stuff and bringing the dog in to sniff everything, and then they interrogated us and accused us of being high right then--trying to get us to just crack and confess and tell them where it was.

In two years living on this floor, there has never been a drug search, even though there were people who did drugs in their room, and when it does happen, it happens to my room.

Aren't I just lucky.

*sigh*

I can't wait for this semester to be over. And yay for finding an apartment for next year.


In other news, I just wrote something for a Nine/Rose ficathon (which can be found here) tonight, because once again, I can't sleep, and because I haven't read or written anything for Doctor Who in a while, and I miss it.

I figured since I wrote more last year, than any other (and actually started to post them on livejournal), it would be a good idea to have a post with links to all of them. Organization is a good thing! (Hah. Like I ever follow that belief. In truth, I'm bored.)

Edited: This has been changed to a post that has links to all my fiction, instead of just what I wrote in 2008. Will be edited as more stories are written.
