Talk, talk, talk.

So, I was chatting with Rob Shearman on AIM today. *pauses for mild flailage*

It was...very interesting. And great fun. We talked about music and the iPod Plan Of World Dominance^TM. And I tried to talk him into watching Firefly.

He wins lots of points for calling Anne Rice bonkers. And these comments, which cracked me up:

Shearrob: I might have to buy another. Just so Ipod #1 has a friend.
drakyndra: Have a little iPod family
Shearrob: Yeah. I'd like that. Then they can breed.
drakyndra: That's how iPod nanos are created, you know
Shearrob: Yes... but one thing puzzles me. Where does the little Nano come out of?
drakyndra: ...
Shearrob: Exactly! *No-one knows.*

And there was Doctor Who talk liek whoa. We plotted to bring back Adam, and discussed the differences between this season and the last, and between the the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, and between Eccleston and Tennant and Eccleston themselves (He's met them. He's worked with them. That just makes me flail that little bit more), and opinions on various episodes and why we did or didn't like them, and why having the regeneration after just one season was a very clever move.

Also, I got some little hints that have hyped me up so much for later in the season. Not really spoilers, because they don't actually tell you anything, but I'll cut them, anyway.


The key bits of the conversation:

Shearrob: I shan't spoil anything for you. But the Doctor and Rose won't be alone again forever. :)
drakyndra: ...
drakyndra: ...
drakyndra: *has no words*
drakyndra: Okay, you just made me way excited for the rest of the series.
Shearrob: Well, I really don't want to give anything away. Because you might thwap me with something hard, from all the way in Melbourne.
drakyndra: With my almighty thwapping skills? Nah, hints are good, they get my hyped up. Especially because we have passed out of the part of the series I knew spoilers on
Shearrob: Well, ok. Let's just say that characters you think you've seen the last of may well return. In unexpected ways.

That's the key stuff, really. Now, whether the Doctor and Rose not being alone forever, and the returning character thing are connected or not is unknown, but in any case, I am so starting to look forward to things.


But yeah, chatting with Rob Shearman. *flails some more*

*loves this fandom liek woah*
*is jealous liek woah*

Wow, this whole thing with you and misscam and Rob Shearman is just so unbelievably cool what with hints and gossip and fic-reading. Well done, making Melbourne-Who fans proud being all cool and calm and cool.

This fandom is great, isn't it?

And that's the advantage of the internet - one can come off as all cool and calm, when really they are flailing wildly.

It is the greatest fandom ever! Even taking into consideration all the wank and badfic. And can you really come off cool and collected on the internet? I must remember that, becuase, were I in any similar position, I think I'd just do a lot of *dead* and *flail*...which is exactly why you're in this position and I am not. Hurruh!

It's crazy, but brilliant. And to paraphrase a great quote, we both know the brilliant is worth the crazy.

See, I can come off all cool and collected, but believe me, I was bouncing around the room while that chat went on. Literally. ;)
