Continuing in the Same Vein, Sort Of

If you lived in this apartment with its shitty wiring, you wouldn't laugh or call me paranoid when I told you I had a split-second moment of panic when the computer having a moment of indigestion and causing it to pause in the middle of an MP3 coincided wth me flicking off the kitchen light. It was like "OH FUCK I TURNED THE COMPUTER OFF oh it was ( Read more... )

01.) Tell me when and why you friended me.

Recently! And because we share fandoms and half of my flist had friended you, so I figured you'd be nice to read, and I was right:)

02.) Tell me what things/fandoms you're into right now, and what stuff you think we have in common.

I'm on a sharp curve back to B7 since Rusty D annoys me. Um. Geekiness! Randomness! Humour!

03.) Ask me a question that might engage us in conversation.

What sort of glasses can The Doctor pull off? I think it works best when he's wearing old-fashioned specs (One and Five) and geeky when Ten, but trendy glasses might not work and date things a bit. Thoughts?

04.) Post an interesting picture! It can be of yourself, something in fandom you like, something you think I might like, something funny, whatever. Just don't make it too terribly huge. (Your icon doesn't count! :P)

Pic: Dalek pavement in Portmeiron. Not as interesting as the Dalek roadsign, but I already have that on an icon.

05.) Tell me something vaguely interesting that happened to you today.

Interesting? Moi? Um... I got a new stalker. That's not really interesting, more Bloody Annoying, but not much else has happened.

*grins* awesome! Do all your plans work out so well?

He'd be fine, if we could just convince him to produce and not write, I think.

That about covers it, yup. :)

I think it depends on the Doctor, really - his outfits tend to date him anyway. This Doctor should definately stick with the geeky glasses, though.

Dalek pavement in Portmeiron.

Heeee!

...and where did that image come from, anyway? Is that a real roadsign?

Uhrrrrrrrrrrrgh, stalkers. Bleah. Real-life or internet stalker?

Zis plan iz vorkingk vell. Nuzzink in ze wurld kan shtop me nov!

The roadsign is real. It's in Llangollen, North Wales, which used to have a huge Doctor Who exhibit. It's moved to English seaside resorts now, poo. Which means they're taking down the signs. That one was the only one I saw last August, before that there used to be little Dalek signs all over the place, which made travelling a rather surreal experience:).

Awwww, that's so sad that they moved it and they're taking the signs down... I hope they're putting up new ones where it moved to! I can see how that would be surreal - about the only thing better would be "Danger - Dalek crossing" signs.

Here's the whole sign. So, if you go further up the road and don't want to take the boat or the train, you can travel by Dalek or Welsh dragon:)...

DUDE!!! That's awesome.

This is why my heart sank when I saw they were missing! I hope they keep this one as a historical curiosity or something. It's right in the town centre, so I hope it was meant to remain...
