A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

Hello there! My mid-term exams have finished and I'm satisfied with the results. How are you doing? I hope your lives proceed well :)

To celebrate my return, I post this meme stolen from snowgrouse because it's got me curious.

Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day). Then you write down 3 events, 3 births, 3 deaths and 3 holidays.

18 June )

not only doctor, meme, other shows, real life

Oh, you're in good company: a king, a writer and an inventor!
And you're also a fellow Gemini &hearts

I still need to comment on your stories, but lifein1973 isn't opening for me, today.. I'm a bad person, ain't I? D:

Aren't Geminis great? :D It's fun to have two personalities (and I'm pretty sure I do, but not an extreme where one side is evil or something... lol, well, I don't think so anyway...)

Odd. Maybe reading my Doctor Who fic will tide you over until you can get lifein1973 to open. :\ :-?

Ah, double personalities.. I have them too ;) And if you add cleverness, ability in business and Mercury protecting us, we totally win!

I won't comment with "The Doctor makes everything better" but you can be sure I thought it :D

We PWN the universe! :D

How are you today, hon? Doing okay?

We totally and absolutely win!

You know, I was looking at your answers to the other meme. Are you telepathic?? Because I'm pretty sure it's impossible to have at least 75% of those answers in common. No really, from the favourite vegetable to the worst habit, passing by the favourite sport and other things... It's creepy in a good way to know that there's someone so similar to me out there!

I've finally posted the comment to Baby Makes Three! Go read it now!

Kisses

Telepathic? Maybe, maybe not. Might have something to do with our zodiac sign...? :)

Really??! That's really cool. Maybe we're soulmates and we don't even know it. Well, don't want to jump the gun here, but still... it's possible! My great grandparents (most of them and my relatives) were from Sweden/scandinavia... maybe that is how we ended up separated for this lifetime. What if we were supposed to meet somewhere in Europe? Just saying. Doesn't necessarily mean it's true, but it's something to think about. I think it would be cool if we were "soulmates". Doesn't mean we have to be sexual soulmates, of course. :) Anyway, sorry for the babbling. I tend to do that sometimes. XD

I posted a reply... which ended up bigger than I first planned. lol!

How's your finals coming along, then? Are you able to do any roleplaying yet? (And seeing how we seem to be alike in many things, maybe that's a sign for how good we'll be when playing the Master and the Doctor?)

Sorry, dinner time here! Replying to you ASAP! :)

Here I am!

Awww, a soulmate *starry eyed* It could be, it could totally be. I mean, it was so strange to read your answers. And I'm so happy to know more about you.

My great grandparents (most of them and my relatives) were from Sweden/scandinavia..
Well, my surname is one of the most popular in Italy (btw it's "Ricci" which means "Curly") and it was generally given to slaves and plebeians. And Italy was conquered from Scandinavians so, if we stretch (yes, really stretch) the teory, it could be possible that some Scandinavian conqueror started a genealogical branch here in Italy...
And this is why lunadeath02 and qaffian-luvr are so similar!
Oh mind's trips of mine, I love you! ;)

I saw your reply and I'm replying to it here.
Eh, I know I shouldn't smoke, it's one of the worst vices because others like drugs and alcohol are "illegal" to some extent. In Italy, there is state monopoly on cigarettes so they are legitimated from the State. And it's really addictive, especially if you are in a family of chain-smokers like mine.
Also, blame us doctors. We don't like to practise what we preach, be it food, sex or drugs!

I certainly don't mind your "soapbox moment" on the reply but.. Has something happened? Because it's strange that you have to point out, again, about Sam's "bisexuality". I mean, to read Baby Makes Three, you must have read Bisexual and you've already stated that point there. It seems strange, that's all ;)

About the roleplaying. I've to check my exams' calendar, because sometimes the teachers put extraordinary dates for exams during Easter Holidays. I'll be honest with you, I'm behind with some exams I really need to do, otherwise I really risk to fuck up. If I don't have any exams on Easter Holidays we can begin to roleplay, otherwise I don't know if it will be possible. I'll know about it this Monday! Wish me a lot of luck!

That's right! You're Valentina Ricci on yahoo, right? I'm on yahoo right now! Would you rather we talked there or is LJ okay? We could talk via both. :)

In theory, you're right. That could have very well happened to our past lives, or relatives, etc.

Yeah, it is hard for smokers to quit. I just hope that you're able to quit one day, because it's a scary thought. :(

And Baby Makes Six, you mean. :) And yes, I have read Bisexual, seeing how I wrote it. ;) Well, we had an Ally Training session here at the college (to help gain more allies for the GLBTQ community), and there was talk about the bisexuals and transgenders and it really made me think "omg, am I angering some people by not stating some facts about Sam's identity, etc?" And so I just wanted to clear some things.

Well, whenever you feel you can do any kind of roleplaying, let me know. I'm debating on when I should start making the Master's character and profile here on LJ. I'm thinking of just taking the name "simm_master", which I already have, and turning it into the Master's name. Or I could just invent a new one. :) Good luck on finding out about your stuff on Monday.

Mwahahah, sorry it's that sometimes I make mistakes while translating Italian sentences into English.. And what is worst is that I don't know how to explain it, but I'll try..
In Italian we address to "you" while meaning an hypothetical person who has read the story. It's like "someone" in English but sometimes I translate literally "tu" into "you". I'm really, really sorry if sometimes I speak like an illiterate :( And now I'm feeling depressed..

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you depressed. It's hard to show emotion through the computer versus face to face. I understood that you just made a little error; wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. *hugs!* English is my own language, and I make mistakes in that even. I'm envious when someone knows more than two languages.

I think we use the word "you" when referring to people in general too, but in a different style, I think. I can see why you translated it that way, though. But if you need any kind of assistance in translation, I could try helping best I can. I won't make fun of you, I promise! :-* I feel bad if I do that to anyone.

It's okay if you don't wish to talk on yahoo chat. I'm on, but invisible, because there are some people online that I don't wish to speak to. Sometimes I can be a bit anti-social (or just shy, depending on my mood). Lately I've been coming out of my shell. :)
