drakyndra: The Music Meister demands you sing! (Facepalm)

I've got mail!

Today I got a postcard from Norway (thank you, [livejournal.com profile] misscam!) It has a pretty picture of the Northern Lights on it, and I went and showed it off to all my friends at Uni. They were most impressed.

On a Uni-ly note, you know you are a sci-fi fan, when your HPS lecture on Time (lead up to the Wednesday one on Time Travel, hurrah!) goes something like this:

Lecturer: "It's impossible to try and imagine something outside space and time..."
My thoughts: "No it's not, just put it in a void ship."

Lecturer: "We can't view time from an external perspective."
My thoughts: "Yeah, but there are some individuals who can!"

*headdesk*

Note to self: Keep sci-fi thoughts out of lectures.

And, if anyone wants some fandomly amusement: Bad Doctor Who fanfic summaries. Look out for the "voyage filled with SEX, SEX, SEX"

Thank you for making me laugh before I go to work. I can't tell you how many times I've had simalar thoughts in bio labs/lectures & soc lectures. But those aren't typically DW influenced, more Stargate & CSI stemmed thoughts.

The second one wasn't even Doctor Who inspired! I just... really need to stop making these mental connections.

Don't, they make life so much more interstesing, if a bit absurd.

A little bit of absurdism is good for the soul.

* A bunch of daleks are behaving very stupidly.

They are writing crack!fic.



(in their void ship to piss off the lecturer)

...Why is there a lecturer in the void ship?

[identity profile] cryptile.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
A theoretical lecturer. He/she/it may or not exist, but opening the Void Sphere will affect the outcome of the experiment. The Daleks cannot fire in such close proximity and are subsequently writing crack!fic out of principled Evil.

Ah, Schrodinger's Lecturer.

And I am interested in what Dalek-written crackfic would be like.

"THE DOCTOR AND ROSE TYLER COUPLED TO THE STRAINS OF 'DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING'."

"OH, AND HE SAID HE NEVER LOVED ANY OF THE OTHERS."

"AND THERE WERE CHILDREN AS A RESULT OF THE COUPLING AND THEY STRONGLY RESEMBLED THE TIME LORD'S CURRENT INCARNATION."

"AND THE HUMAN BECOMES A TIME LORD SOMEHOW."

"THEY DONE SECKS."

That's not Dalek-written crackfic, that's Dalek-written smutfic.

"WE WERE NOT FINISHED."

"THEY CRASH-LAND ON A PLANET WHOSE GOVERNANCE IS DETERMINED BY DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION APTITUDE."

"THE DOCTOR MUST DEFEAT ALL HIS PREVIOUS INCARNATIONS TO SAVE HIS MONGREL OFFSPRING."

"IRONICALLY, ONE OF HIS OFFSPRING ENGAGES IN SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH AN EARLIER SELF AND FROM THIS HIS GRANDDAUGHTER IS CONCIEVED."

"HE STILL LOVES ROSE BEST THOUGH."

"THEN THE WIDE SHOT REVEALS THAT THIS SCENARIO HAS ALL TAKEN PLACE UPON THE HOLODECK OF THE USS ENTERPRISE, PROVING THE DAL-EK MASTERY OF THE TWIST ENDING!"

Everytime I walk past my Remote Control Dalek in the Living Room, I am going to think of this story.

Lulz.

Bwah!!! Icon love!

[identity profile] misscam.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very welcome.

Northern Lights are indeed very impressive. Even having grown up with them being somewhat a normal occurance, I still think that.

I wish I had lights in the sky. *pouts*

I didn't see them.Woe.

Pfft, life isn't worth living until you get nerdy thoughts at everything. ;)

Mine are mostly D&D-related. *shifty look.*

And those summaries were good for a laugh and going 'What were you on when you wrote this?'.

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the times I have them that make me wonder...

And yes, the summaries are highly amusing.

*giggles*

Definitely a 'you know' moment.

Some times I wonder about my brain.

Ah, but it's fun! :-D

If you think you're bad now, you just wait until the Time Travel lecture :) (Which, incidentally is the best lecture I've heard of in a while.)

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that one's going to be interesting

(I have a tutorial for the subject in a couple of hours. Again: Interesting)

[identity profile] preciouslilme.livejournal.com 2006-10-17 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
hehe, I was thinking that about the void etc. There were lots of pleasant DW thoughts to be had :D

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-10-17 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Time Travel lectures make fangirl's minds wander.

[identity profile] preciouslilme.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
lol, yep (espeically when he mentions it by name!)

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
Did you hear me go "Oi!" at him. Don't be dissing on my show, man!

[identity profile] preciouslilme.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
lol, yes! I thought that was you :p
