Egads, busy, busy day yesterday.

To start off with, semester results were out. I managed to pass all my subjects, which was distinctly of the good - means I passed everything this year, even if not spectacularly for one or two subjects. So, onto next year!

Results were:
Writing Scripts H2A
Science, Philosophy and History H2B
Personality and Social Psychology 2 H3
Stars and Galaxies Pass (Yeah, I probably should have studied more fot his one)

Then, onto CHAS for banner painting (we meant to do some t-shirt painting, as well, but we sort of ran out of time. Got all of the banners except one done, so reasonably productive.

Then, onto fa11ing_away's party at the iPartment. A whole bunch of people turned up. (admittedly, some quite late - you know who you are!). Lots of silliness and fun. And drink. Being the complete lightweight I am, I had rather too much to drink. Still, at least I didn't end up with a hangover.

Some amusing quotes from the night:

altheas: "This is the most comfortable I have ever been... OW!"

lukeii: "What the hell is fandom?"
Oh, the poor, poor dear...

On the subject of fandom, anyone interested in potential Doctor Who wank should check out a certain Series Three spoiler that seems to have gotten quite a few people rather riled up. It seems to be doing a tour of the tabloids right now, in a bit of a Chinese whispers game. Amusing over-reations from some people, mind.

And Doctor Who has hit clairvoyant_wank. Whether it gets properly wanked or not, we shall have to wait and see.

Dear Lord, I hate Daylight Savings. First it managed to completely and utterly bewilder me the other night (But why is 2am gone?), but now, when I have woken up in order to "obtain" the last Torchwood ep, it means that my old normal time is no longer suitable.

Bastard clocks. And I can no longer get back to sleep. Thus, I shall sit up and make exceedingly random posts until I can find a downloadable copy.

Henceforth:

- If one has a poster above the head of their bed, please ensure that it is well attached to the wall. Waking up to a poster on your face is creepy as all fuck.

- Tinhats. In the Doctor Who fandom. Why, I ask you, why? *is currently refraining on commenting on the icon of "Bitch, please"-ness

- For some suitably wanky entertainment, the HP fandom never fails to provide. Thus, we have this and this to check out.

- Rec up. Two to go. If the effing download takes too long, I might do one during the wait, even.

- torchwoodcoffee has over 120 members. Egads.

And that's one more rec up. Or down. Or whatever. Four more to go.

Ah yes, on the Shipper Apocalypse. Oddly enough, over at the TWoP GitF thread, it's pretty much non-existant. As in, verging on near universal love for the ep. Which was... unexpected.

Kudos, Americanos.

That said, I suspect that the UK (or downloading) shipper/Rosefen lot are mostly staying out of the that thread. And Jacob has a pinned "Do not make me have to pull Mod on you" notice.

Surprisingly large proportion of "This was my first Doctor Who ep ever, and I loved it" posts. What else was on before/after that meant people were watching?

In any case, happy to see something I adore get the love I think it's earnt. Even if I was kinda looking for some LOLworthy wank.

The only bitching I have seen so far is certain LJ types. Note to the uninformed: You can't use "It was just an excuse for Tennant to get his girlfriend on the show" as a criticism. Before filming, they had only met once. They only hooked up during/after. Sorry, your argument is a failure!

There are two new sections up on the latest bad_penny thing - History of the HP BNF Inner Circle, to be precise.

Also, I was going to be working on my next links list (Because then my more recent recs will be easier for me to find for crack_van thing. Lucky I have about about the first weeks worked out, which gives me some more time). But I had that odd thing where I slept in quite late, but still got tired rather early, so I gave up shortly, and plan to read my book and then go to bed. Or lurk around b_p

I have also managed to gain a blood blister on my foot, and I have utterly no idea how. Which is odd.

In fannish stuff: If even hearing Freema Agyeman's name makes you nauseated, then you may want to leave fandom, for your own health if nothing else. Because she's going to be around for a while, yet.

Also, the US premiere of S2 is tonight. I look to the next few months of fandom with a mixture of fascination and sheer horror.

ETA: WHAT THE SHIT?

ETA2: Another Bad_Penny section up. This one contains references to boob flashing.

Firstly: The Who wank has hit fandom_wank.

And secondly, inspired by midnitemaraud_r's comment, I present the following poll to the masses:

[Poll #790396]

Huh. There's yet another Reinette bashing fic up.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have the urge to write a fic in which Rose is the evil one, and Reinette is the saintly victim, just to see how the batshit fanbrats would react?

However, if one wants some more amusing badfic, I'd check this out. Not only does it contain the least subtle moralising ever, but it has the Doctor being a graffiti artist, spray painting a satellite dish with the words "Heaven is a half-pipe." In Gallifreyan.

Your daily dose of someone being a wanky arsehole

To which my only reponse is WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?

Even putting Danse Macabre on repeat did not help. Woe.

OH NOES! People who aren't sci-fi fans like Doctor Who!

Oh, get over it, sweetheart.

Oh look, it's our first walk-out promise.

Wow, that's what, 2 hours from the announcement being officially released?
