Yes, the line "the sky is dark" really depicted the status of the sky in a deep and moving way that I've never seen before. Except when people are looking at the sky and pointing out how dark it is. It has such connotations.
I do play Watson. I haven't been playing him at Milliways for a while now, and I did send his application to TM last week. It got approved, but the prompt response I wrote was done quickly and something I wasn't very proud of. Eh, but too late now, I still have to put it on TM for people to read and hate. He's over at amanofletters where there are like 3 epic 'Out of Milliways' posts that I wrote because I had no life.
I have a Sam Tyler over to Creative Muses, which prods me even more to stop slacking and write some prompts already. But I'm not. But I'll tell myself I'm trying. At least.
Last week (where seemingly all my events take place), I also sent an app to Relative Space for a random Alt!Twelfth Doctor, and I wish I could say I was drunk at the time, and they haven't contacted me back, so I'm presuming I did something stupid. It seemed like a stupid idea. Oh well.
I still envy you and your car! D: *makes grabby hands*
Personally, when I wrote it in 5th grade, I thought it was more of a somewhat existential, transcendentalist expression of the darkness of the sky.
You know, I actually liked your 3 epic OOM posts. The second one was my favorite, the one with Holmes' Opium withdrawal. I love the Sherlock Holmes books, and you've nailed Watson's voice.
And for the record, my application for Creative Muses was the single crappiest peice of writing I'd ever done in my life. I think I posted it on the Doctor's journal...can't imagine why, though...
You have a Sam Tyler too? Only recently got into Life on Mars, I'm about halfway through series one. John Simm is AMAZING, like I said he was brilliant during DW, but he's managed to reach new levels of amazingness, I have to say.
You didn't do something stupid. They send your application to about three different people at Relative Space, and the mod is a lawer so they're rediculously busy. My RP partner and I applied at the same time and it took nearly two weeks for them to get back to us. I'm alt!Ten #6, but I haven't posted anything yet since my previously mentioned RP partner and I decided to set a little scene up before they got the communicator, and I'm waiting for her to respond. We're about halfway into the scene, and I really want to start over at RS, so I'm sort of hoping she'll respond at somepoint here...
It's Dirk, actually, my car. I named it since it's eccentric and unpredictable, like Dirk Gently the Holistic Detective. It's got a bumper sticker on it that says "Hermits United" on it :D
Wait! I didn't mean Holmes' opium withdrawl, I meant that other guy's opium withdrawl! I liked the bit where Holmes figured out that Watson didn't fight back by looking at his hand!
'Twas a typo daemon. Curse the damn creature! *shakes fist at dark sky, which is, incidentally, quite dark, though not raining*
I bought the Holmes books and I still haven't finished volume II. I'm on Valley of Fear right now, which makes America look lovely, by the way. I can't believe I still haven't finished it, but I can't say I'm surprised, knowing me. I keep drifting off halfway down the page and just sit there for ten minutes, not reading. One day, I'll finish it. One day!
And yes! Life on Mars. I got into it a few months ago and I've finished all of Series 1 and most of Series 2 except the last episode because I feel like if I watch it, it'll mean that my life had ended. John Simm is a fantastic actor (clearly, you agree), I keep laughing when I think about how incredibly different him and the Master are and yet he plays them so flawlessly. Incidentally, Sam met the Master at the Outside Inn, where they got into a fight. My excuse is that Sam was practically hysterical and bit off the edge in meeting someone who looked exactly like him. *nod*
I sent my app to RS on the last week of Jan, so I guess I still have time. I usually think the worst of these things, you know me.
RP partners! Fun. [Insert usual thinly veiled bitching about how she can never make friends here.]
Ooooh. *just read the thread* Joan. Human Nature. Always fun.
And Hah, speaking of Dirk Gently, I have a Richard MacDuff in Milliways. That I haven't been using. Yeesh, writing this, I'm realising that I really need to write a whole bunch of stuff.
Mrrrccggh... But no, I'm wasting my time by drawing Cloverfield stuff.
Here, I'll help! *Shakes fist at sky which is, also rather dark, though it is, in fact, raining here*
That happens to me when I read a book, but mainly because I'm so freaking tired all the time, I can never seem to keep my attention on much of anything. I never fall asleep, of course, since that would be convenient, but I'm not really very alert.
I LOVE actors that can play such incredibly different parts like that. Range is something an actor always strives for, and those who nail it are really, really amazing. And John Simm never misses a beat no matter who he's playing. Every line is flawless.
lol about the Master meeting Sam! Do you have a link, perhaps, to that particular encounter...inquiring minds want to know...
It really did take FOREVER for RS to get back to me, at one point I e-mailed the person who had told me about it to ask if it normally worked that way or if I just sucked.
Actually, my RP partner was introduced to me by someone else, we had no idea who each other was when we decided to apply together. Do you ever RP? Like planned out with someone RP? It's a good way to meet people on here, it's how I made the friends I did (Which, really, isn't all that many, but I'm still a noobie at this, so who knows?)
Yep, my Alt!Ten is a Ten who didn't recover quite as well from being human, and is still being influenced by John Smith far more than he'd like. And he's traveling with Joan, since the major "AU" part of it is that she said "yes" when he asked her to come along instead of no.
Speaking of that thread, what'd you think of it? I know it's not very long, but I'm really not confident at all in RP's since I've never really done them before, and you don't get comments on RP's...so what did you think? Be brutal.
You have a Richard MacDuff and you haven't been using him? I heart Richard, I wish he had been in "The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul" Did you ever listen to the BBC radio Dirk series that came out earlier in the year? I think it was in about October...it was online, but I don't know if it's still there.
I still haven't seen Cloverfield, but I heard an interview with the director on the radio the other day (like, my own radio, not the BBC radio, though I wish I got that on my radio) and it sounded really cool. If I wasn't in two different plays right now, I'd totally go see it.
I adore that aspect of an actor's range as well. It's sort of why I appreciate Billie Piper so much. I've watched Ruby in the Smoke and Shadow in the North now and I thought she was fabulous in both of them, as well as Secret Diary. Or at least, what I've watched of Secret Diary. Which was just episode one. But she was great in it! *nod*
John and Philip (Glenister) are going to be in a heist movie set in the 80s. You might have already heard this, but I feel I need to mention it. Because I find it amusing that they're playing crooks together now, after two good series of playing coppers. I am amused by these things.
I adored the thread. I thought you kept the Doctor very well in character. The fact that they don't look at each other, etc. And you might say that's a small thread, but it's not, really. People usually don't give a damn any more and put in about 3 line responses. I'm afraid I've gotten into the habit as well, but you keep everything nice and detailed so that you always know what's going one, what he's thinking and all that good stuff. Plus, the Joan isn't half bad either. Give my compliments to her mun as well. :)
I do have a Richard MacDuff and I did introduce him into Milliways, but he wasn't very well welcomed. I got one person to greet him, but she did it, more out of sympathy I think and my whining about it. I gave Reg back his time machine, and I did write this very very long OOM about it, about how Richard goes over to Reg's place with a plastic axe, and then gets a real axe and then tries to destroy the power box. Because I reasoned that if the time machine stopped working because the phone line worked, it would start working again if someone broke the phone lines. Plus, there were two ghosts flying around the planet now, like Reg said, I didn't think that they'd just leave it at that and just give up. And yes, I did listen to BBC radio adaptation, in fact, Richard is 'played by' Billy Boyd, simply because after I heard the adaptation, my mind would not grasp any other face as Richard's. I also find this amusing because Billy is about two feet shorter than Richard would actually be.
You should see Cloverfield, although as a warning, you should do it with caution. I get motion sickness easily, and I had headaches for a day after I saw it. Uck. So much shaking. But it's great. I wish I could take you to see it.
