I was browsing through LJ and I got the idea to start using Component again as a theme and then when I looked to see what layout it was that was my latest Component layout, I fell in love with it all over again. I bring to you, the simple, kind of thrown together but yet awesome layout consisting of Doctor Who and The Sound of Drums (3x12) :D aliasagent Indulge in the John Simm awesomeness ♥

Sorry for spamming your flists ;)

I just watched an old Doctor Who music video (Doctor/Rose) and I was hit with a pang of nostalgia. Oh show, where are you? Where is the love I had for you? I'm excited about the upcoming season, I think, but on the same time I feel like it can't live up to season 1-2 (not because of Rose, but because of all the elements that came together and made it so wonderfully awesome and imaginative whereas now it seems to be more about science, theories, particles or something like that. It just seems less imaginative somehow).

Am I the only one experiencing this? *feels the need to write a Doctor/Rose and Lucy/Master fic* I miss my show.

I've spent the last couple of hours writing my EU essay, fair to say I became really pessimistic about that whole organisation. Now I'm just counting the minutes until my sister shows up so we can watch Gossip Girl because I need to... not think for a bit. Just sit down and relax, which Gossip Girl is perfect for. Anyway, it's in Swedish and the current word count is 1,877. Anyone interested in reading? ^^

Huge happy birthday bashipforever! I hope you'll have a fantastic birthday sweetheart. Sorry I haven't been such an active commenter.

Also, anyone here ever read Philosophy? I have this essay for English class and I have no clue if I'm doing it right because I haven't had the subject. Help?

TWO DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS BREAK! Woohooo! *dances* Can you feel the joy? In honour of that joy, the first five that comment and say that they want a drabble/ficlet thingy will get one. I sucked at fulfilling icon requests but I'm confident in my writing abilities (sort of)... Just provide me with fandom and prompt. Fandoms I can write: Original (if you just want a short story or something that doesn't have a fandom association), Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Doctor Who, Heroes (with some restrictions, some characters such as Maya I can't won't write) and Dexter (Never tried but I could). Some shows, sadly, I haven't seen in forever (such as Life on Mars) so it would be difficult to write from that.

Name: Unknown Pathways
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: PG
Summary: I guess a sort of late Halloween fic. Set S4. Martha and The Doctor don't know where they are.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything. I merely let my imagination run away with me.
Author's Notes: I'm a bit tired and I should probably go to bed. Not betad but I'm proud of it anyway. Turned out rather well and this is my first time writing Martha (and actually displaying my work). Strange to write a fic without Rose, since that's usually what I've done, but I found her absence to be remarkably... refreshing. Anyway, please read and enjoy.

I'm sitting here in Spanish class (technically not a class since our Spanish teacher is away on business but whatever) and we're supposed to write this essay about a Spanish singer and I chose Shakira (okay, she's Columbian but whatever, that's like Spanish, right?) and the essay thing is supposed to be aprox. one page. I mean, if I've written about half a page with a really big headline - that's still aproximately one page, right? ^^ Be honest.

I'm using this icon because I feel like I haven't been loving Master/Lucy as faithfully as I can. Sad but very true. I miss Doctor Who. I think I should do that marathon really soon. As well as a Supernatural one (still need to buy season two, I haven't gotten around to it yet).

Also, I just turned in my paper so I might be able to go to Ghana. Keep your fingers crossed that I and everyone else who applied (or is it whom? I don't know when to use what most of the time. Explain s'il vous plait?) are allowed to go. I know some people are applying and it would be great to go to Ghana with them!

It's been a really long time since I wrote anything about Doctor Who. Possibly because lately there hasn't been that much to say and quite frankly, I did not appreciate Martha much. And that's not because of my shipping preferences. That Doctor Who marathon I was going to have is going to have to be another time than the next coming week because school is kicking my Swedish arse. Not that I'm complaining right now.

Anyway, what I was thinking about is that lately, I've been wanting to write fics, but it seems like the Doctor/Rose stuff, especially season two and three, are something to be embarrassed about these days. To be honest the reasons why someone doesn't like them or why some do have been lost on me. I just remember the basic stuff: they aren't liked. Or that seems to be the general idea. Kind of reminds me of Swedish politics but that's another story.

I loved Doctor/Rose and their story. I started seeing Doctor Who probably in mid-season two and I started with season one at that point. So I knew that Christopher Eccleston was going to be changed into David Tennant, although I did not know the specifics. Anyway, I loved Doctor/Rose and I adored them both as characters and as a relationship. Rose with her humanity and The Doctor with a... well, brute sarcasm that would almost put Dr. Gregory House to shame.

In season two the dynamic changed. Even though it was extremely clear in season one that Nine had the biggest crush ever on Rose, the season two Doctor was... well, the dynamic changed from mentor-student to a bit of Bonnie and Clyde or well, if to believe some boyfriend-girlfriend. Season Two was filled with fluff. Carefree fun, and I liked that because, the alternative - not so good. Having the Doctor brooding and making sarcastic comments might work for a while but 13 more episodes with that in season two would make the whole thing feel like an overused concept.

I'm probably babbling with this since I'm basically writing this to make up for my Doctor Who-less journal.

I was watching a vid and suddenly I wanted to write a fic. But then it just felt like... it was a cliché. For me, Doctor/Rose has suffered greatly because I joined in on discussions, joined forums etc. where a lot of people looked down upon Doctor/Rose fans and new fans in general and considered them to be less intelligent. It's kind of going through a car crash. You drive along and you're completely fine, then the crash comes (fandom) and then you come out of it really shaky.

It's not just that fun any more. Whenever I watch an episode (especially season two because it feels like that is when the wank stuff happened), I just hear the negative comments or the "Doctor/Rose 4EVA!1!!!" things in the background and it makes me... sad.

I'm deadly tired right now. I should make a mental note of not sleeping longer at night. Or something. 'Cause it feels like I've never been this tired in my life and I have no idea why. I can feel really energetic then after like... 40 minutes of class, I'm exhausted again. It's deadly annoying and it really breaks my concentration since I... well, I can't focus. Math sucks. Although I do love Algebra.

[Poll #1060839]

This icon pwns. I love it how my sister made it with me in mind LMAO.

It feels so weird not having Semagic to assist you right now as I'm typing this entry in OpenOffice Writer. *headdesk* It's so weird and I can't understand where my dad's 'Notes' have disappeared. I realized that I don't do much in front of a computer any more. I hardly write anything these days (still waiting for my beta to return the epic long Sirius/Remus fic I did ages ago) and the only thing I really do is to watch shows (read: Asian shows since all the American and British ones are on hiatus), play Sims and well... I can't do anything of that on my computer time (30 min/day which is really nothing at all) so I check out OhNoTheyDidn't instead. That's how low I sink when I'm bored.

And to display what I'll be watching, here's a list (I can still add something if you convince me :P I just don't know what I'm in the mood for):
Supernatural
Ugly Betty (? Not sure)
Heroes (a given)
Dexter
Doctor Who
Torchwood
Skins (second season starts soon, right?)
Smallville (a REALLY big question mark there, I suppose I'll wait and see)
The Office

Not soo many shows come to think about it. I mean, Supernatural, I love that show, but if I'm forced to watch it on YouTube again... I'm not sure my love can survive such abuse. Ugly Betty is funny but... meh. I'm in a general anti-American tv show mood because well.. Dexter can be as American as it wish because I'd still watch it because it's so gloriously fucked up. Doctor Who won't start for ages and the same goes for Torchwood. Skins I really have no idea.

Smallville is... well, Smallville. It can be so incredibly bad. But I can't live without it. TV without Smallville is weird. I've grown accustomed to it. And well, Smallville has Lois. Which is good. And Clark. But they have Lana *groan* and if they make Chloe a romantic interest again... No. But Lois. But they also have whipped!Lex, which is bad. Really bad. We'll see.

The Office is a show which is always nice to watch but I find it difficult to be superinvolved with it. I guess I'll watch it mostly for entertainment ;)

So now to le grand question: What are YOU watching this upcoming TV season?

I'M DONE WITH MY MASTER FICATHON ASSIGNMENT!!!! Wohooo!!! I've sent it to flawedthoughts but if anyone else feels like betaing it... (I have a feeling she's busy) Lemme know. Anyway, it wasn't as hard as the Nine/Rose fic I wrote that was filled with clichés, but I've been lazy, you see. Very, very lazy. It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but at least I got to write my own "how the Master comes back to life" fic, which I'm a bit nervous about, because I don't know... it might be a little bit convenient but as someone said: "Sci-fi doesn't really have any real rules". I'm going with that. Taking it to my heart and all.

Unrelated but yet related: JOHN SIMM!!! ♥ I must see at least one of his movies or other projects that-are-not-Life-on-Mars-and-Doctor-Who. *sobs* Anyone?

Also, Alan Rickman is kind of drool-worthy. Can anyone explain it his supersexy voice doesn't count because well... he's even a bit attractive when he doesn't speak. Damn, now I want to watch Alan Rickman movies also. There's no end to my fangirlness these days it seems.

I'm currently writing my entry for the Master ficathon (erhm, rewriting because quite frankly I'm not sure if my original thought is going to work, too centred on Lucy to be part of the Master ficathon). Anyway, anyone wanna beta?

Speaking of the Master and ficathons, I've been haunted by the mosquito from hell. Seriously, haunted me, kept me from sleeping and bit me everywhere. But I finally got the bugger *muhahaha*. Also, now, getting up to type this for god knows what reason made me realize that I'm basically tormenting my feet to death here. All my toes are like... swollen, or at least the two smallest on each foot and I'm certain I have to figure out a way to cure these babies because frankly, I've abused them. Poor feet.

Anyway, off to watch a Supernatural episode because sleeping is for looooosers (*tries my best Lauren Cooper impression but fails miserably*). No seriously though, I'm just in the mood.
