My favourite episode of Red Dwarf is Quarantine - and right now I'm loving it even more, for I woke up and appear to have contracted one of the postive viruses it postulates and have felt rather fab since ten this morning.

I'm also a bit in love with bullet-pointing, which I'll stop. Next, um, Monday...or Tuesday. For that is when I will have Conquered Time.

  • Exactly how wrong is it to buy a mobile phone purely so it can be a BT one, purely so you can send Tom Baker texts which will all contain really stupid Doctor Who messages? There have to be worse reasons for buying a phone, surely?
  • I have not done Done Shopping (besides food) for a whole month, therefore I am going to buy self some Nice Clothes and Some New Make-Up. And put it all on a store card so I don't have to worry about it for four weeks and then I will pay all of next month. Yes. No, that's a good plan, really.
  • Believe restricted Internet access is slowly driving self ever more ungood - do not like frustrating skimming of flist, do not like not having time to read all the shiny fic and really, really hate not being able to play with icons. Need to buy one of those magic things ye plug into the USB port too.
  • Sarah Jane Smith is ACE (er, not literally). When was a wee bairn, she was favourite companion, but ever since she has been diminishing in affections. But writing the girl!Doctor story reminded me of what makes her so great. Because it really wouldn't have worked with anyone else - with the possible exception of Barbara - cause it had to be a woman, and they had to be practical and sensible enough to cope with the Doctor, but open-minded enough to accept her, and level-headed enough to deal with it all without much of a fuss. Anyone else would, I think, have either been too coddling and fluffy, two shrieky, or too rolling of the eyes at the Doctor.
  • So I have this Sekrit Fandom Fear that there will be awful bashing of dear Sarah Jane after School Reunion. This will make me cry. Like a Roman.

Bulletpoints do rule the world, but methinks you need to put it back to automatic formatting dearling!!

YAY good puffin. I'll actually read it now. *grins* There was typing over the icon and I just thought "I cannot make my brain work sufficiently to read that, Liz will have to fix it first"

Puffins make the world go round. And I have this weird maternal thing towards them cos they look so unhappy and I want to cheer them up.

They were in Enid Blyton once. And saved people from pirates. I think.

REALLY? HOW FANTASTIC. Puffins are great. Genius creatures. But they really do worry me with how unhappy they look. I'm one of these people who wants to make sure everybody they care about is happy and gets frustrated when she can't, so puffins cause me great problems.

Aw. Puffins look quite content, however, when they have beaks full of sand eels. They look like little judges. Bless them. And they have multicoloured noses. I'm sure if they were unhappy their colours would fade to let you know.

They do look content then, I grant you. Apart from when evil seagulls swoop and steal the sand eels rather than gathering them for themselves, lazy sods.

Perhaps their colours would fade, but look at their eyes, they're like the Pierrot of the animal kingdom. But not as scary and pointless. Or French.

Ahahaha, but I have an Orange mobly, texted my mother to ask if she was my mummy and recieved an irate phonecall as a reponse.

It just needs to be a BT landline.

*is happy about this*

Are you kidding? I'm debating going through the phonebook just to find people to text that won't be assorted friends parents.

*curses university phonelines for not being on BT and therefore not having the MAGICAL POWER OF TOM BAKER*

Not wrong at all. I'm still trying to think of a decent enough message to text to my parents so they get Tom Baker on the line. I don't trust that they'd recognise Whovian lines and I refuse to text and 'intro to Little Britain' style bit.

Yes you do. They are indeed magic and lifesaving. Especially if you make sure they're attached to your keyring so you can't go out without them when you have to print work on campus. They are lifesaving.

Your shopping plan is excellent. I'm still trying to find someone who'll go to the opening of Primark with me on 9th Feb just because they might do something special and I wouldn't want to miss out.

SARAH JANE FOR TEH WIN!

Crappy 'net access is the doom of the geek. This is true and woe-some and horrid. AUGH.

Now I want to be in the UK and hear Tom messages!

And Quarantine rox0rz, and I'm finding it REALLY difficult to not buy the Mr. Flibble puppet. CLEVER MARKETING BASTIDS.

Your love of Quarantine probably means that You could do with one of these

I've come home to about half a dozen Tom Baker-text messages tonight due to various member sof my family playing silly buggers. :)

I've already texted my mother to let her know I've been kidnapped by the Daleks so I might not visit her...

... I'm still waiting for someone to text OUR landline. Knowing my dad, I bet he'll text something dull and earnest and totally unsuited for the voice of Tom Baker. Knowing my friends, I'll bet they'll think of something incredibly witty like "My name is Tom Baker and I want you to lick my love pump..." nonono I don't want anyone to say that to me, least of all Tom Baker!

I wish I knew fans in real life.

I think my fave's "Back to Reality"...but then, the first five minutes of "Terrorform" are possibly the most hilarious five minutes in telly history ever.

So I have this Sekrit Fandom Fear that there will be awful bashing of dear Sarah Jane after School Reunion. This will make me cry. Like a Roman.

If they do, we shall gang up and beat them with metaphorical sticks.

Since Sarah and Rose have a cat-fight, it's gonna be all "OMG, like Sarah is a total *cow*!"

Not looking forward to that.

Good luck with Conquering Time.

Sarah is a million times cooler than Rose will ever be. And I hope Rose realises that! The Doctor's never going to build her a robot dog, is he?

No, he certainly is not!

I love your avatar. I've got a goldfish called Colin Baker, because he's eye-burningly coloured. (Actually it's a girl fish, but you take what you get at the pet shop.)
