Exam in... thirteen and a half hours. Give or take. I'm still procrastinating. What is wrong with you, self? Have you really stopped caring that much? o.o

I should be worried that my play consists of internet jokes so far, but I'm not. /dead

I've got nothing on the little girl. But the Doctor dying in the first episode. Is he going to be 'flesh' from episodes 5/6, not the real Doctor but a copy? And if things go the way it SOUNDS like it's going for the 5/6th episode, could he be in the astronaut costume? Rory versus the Cybermen to get the technology to make a support system for the Doctor's vegetative body while the Flesh him is around with his memories or something?

Just a thought. XD I think I confused myself. BACK TO WORK.

Okay, so I hadn't heard this till today but seriously, perfect song for Puck/Lauren. Yes, more Glee talk. Sorry, after 2x16, there's really no way it won't be for the rest of the week. XD

This was quite hard, so I had to pick my favourite song at the moment, which would be... Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons. I'm not sure what it is about this song that makes it so popular (or why I like it), but it's kind of amazing and makes me happy at the moment, so I keep listening to it. Listening it to twenty times on repeat a few days ago - I'm calling it my favourite song at the moment.

Writer's Block: Sweat it out

halfapint — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:35:08 GMT

Well, it already was for me and it never did me any harm, so yeah, I think so. Besides, if the kids are that desperate to get out of it, they'll find a way to get out of it. At least this way the ones who don't really care either way will get something done and the ones with a real aversion to it will get more creative? =D

halfapint — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 14:09:52 GMT

This is a genuine question guys. I'd really like to hear your thoughts because this has been bugging the hell out of me for a while. XD

So what does the word 'bashing' mean to you guys? It's been thrown around on my flist a lot the last few days and I just... I find it VERY difficult in fandom to judge what is bashing and what isn't, and I find it difficult to judge not only whether what I say is bashing but what other people say too. I'm aware that "I don't really like -character-" isn't bashing, but at what point do you draw the line? Does repetitive put downs count as bashing ("-person- is so crap, -person is so much better-" posted in the same thread about sixteen times), and does language count (see previous example)? Obviously things such as the Gwen/Ianto or Martha/Rose/Amy things (or Klaine-Blurt/Kum-Hevans-Kam-insert-variant-here shipper wars, OH MY GOD WHY SO SERIOUS GLEE FANDOM? ~~being a multishipper is hell in both Doctor Who/Torchwood and Glee fandoms, no lie~~) make it obvious when bashing happens, but what about subtler instances?

As someone who has difficulty judging nuances like this anyway, it's kind of frustrating to not really know what gets classed as bashing and how to not accidentally offend someone when they might not be bashing but expressing an opinion. I recall one night on a comm I'm on (little fandoms, yay!) when someone threw a thread party celebrating the end of a writer's career and making comments about good riddance to bad rubbish, etc. Now, see, from what I've seen of fandom, that tends to get called bashing and I admit asked the person if they'd be a little more polite about it. Was that the right thing to do? Mind, I apologised immediately afterwards, but the fact is that the comm had been flooded with such needlessly horrible things and while I'm all for expressing yourself, some people liked that writer and was it really necessary to call them crap? It's funny how wording can effect it, too; the party thread didn't bother me in the slightest, but referring to the writer as 'bad rubbish' and 'crap' instantly got my back up (and I didn't even like the writer). ~~Granted I'd had a VERY terrible day with my grandmother at this point, so this may have had something to do with it.~~ My question stands - is that really bashing or just someone expressing an opinion.

I've been lead to believe that, short of a simple "I don't like this -object-" or a discussion about why a character is bad with actual justification, people will jump on someone for bashing. I've probably done it myself, and I'll apologise if I had. But it's really freaking confusing and THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is why I prefer to LURK.

Thanks~. <3

Writer's Block: The winning ticket

A train ticket home so I could go visit my parents. Feeling quite homesick right now. xD And then a nice house for them. <3

Ganked from missmovies and mai_shiranui:

I'm proposing that on Valentine's Day everyone posts pics of their favorite men and flood our flists with eye candy of the most meltable kind. Pitch it to your flists and just imagine that everywhere you turn gorgeous, interesting, beautiful, pretty, handsome men of all variety popping up.

Women, too. Cos, gorgeous, interesting, beautiful, pretty and handsome is not gender specific.

Think of the pretty, people. <3 I'm totally in.

halfapint — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 13:02:31 GMT

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD NEW GUNDAM WINGGGGGGG.

No idea if this is actually a good thing or a bad thing. However RIGHT WAIT. FOR THE DURATION OF THIS, TRITON REFERS TO TROWA BARTON/NO-NAME/GUNDAM PILOT O3 BECAUSE I TOTALLY GOT CONFUSED WRITING THS. OKAY?

Okay. HOWEVER there is no way in hell that Katherine is Quatre's sister. She is totally his daughter. Which makes the shipper in me want her to be raised by Triton and Quatre because shipper!Alsa JUST WON'T DIE FOR THOSE TWO. Also I want a fucked up romance between Katherine and Trowa Phobos (No-Name) and it turns out they're siblings. <3 Because it sounds fun. And because Trowa Phobos has to be Triton's kid. They're identical. Also WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ONE STEVE LIMIT? Catherine Bloom, Kathy Po, Katherine Winner; Trowa Barton (Original), Trowa Barton (Triton Bloom), Trowa (Phobos); Duo Maxwell and his kid... DUO MAXWELL. Heero and Heero (who does turn out to be Odin's son. What.). I CAN'T HANDLE SO MANY SAME-NAMES WHEN THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME TOO. (Except original!Trowa vs the other Trowas, and the C/Kathy/erines. But Katherine = femme!Quatre. Seriously the only difference is boobs and glasses. SHE'S EVEN HOLDING A VIOLIN STICK THING IN THE ONE PICTURE I SAW.)

Needless to say, I'm excited. And it's distracting me from my scriptwriting. WORK DAMMIT SELF, THIS SHIT IS DUE IN ON FRIDAY. YOU CAN FANGIRL AFTER THE FOURTH.

Writer's Block: Past the expiration date

halfapint — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 20:37:39 GMT

Wow, one of these I can answer easily. Of MY food, there's two cucumbers, a red onion, a punnet of cherry tomatoes, some cheap strawberry jam, a third of a bottle of Blue Curaco, one bottle of Banana Bread Beer, Greek yoghurt, a small cut of mild cheddar and some butter. All in all, I think it could be significantly worse. Everyone else's food consists of wafer thin chicken slices, more butter, milk, more expensive jam, Pepperamis and some mature cheddar. No veg, though. This makes me rather proud of myself. And makes me aware that I kinda need to go shopping again. Oops.
