the sad thing is, most of this story is actually true.

Terrible news:

I was driving my poor (mostly) blind mother to the bank today (don't feel sorry for her; as will soon be revealed, she's an awful person and doesn't deserve it) and we were chatting happily about tater tots and Jeopardy and asbestos - you know, normal mother-daughter stuff - and out of nowhere she says, "I do like the way you wear

I just bought a pair of pink Nike high-tops (pink leopard print high-tops, oh god, but they were just so pretty and they whispered my name) and someone called me a hipster. Personally I refute this claim, and who cares if my fringe (hah) tells a different story?

Re: the meme, I particularly enjoyed your choosing between 9, 10 and 11, stunningly eloquent. And Catherine Tate owns my heart forever so I PARTICULARLY APPROVE of that last answer. Donna-is-really-Amy's-mum-because-time-travel-works-like-that will be my headcanon forever, no one can tell me otherwise.

HOLY CRAP SHOE ENVY.

I am adopting your headcanon and making it mine, because that is just too perfect not to be true.

They were in the sale for £30, it would have be a criminal offence not to buy them. I regret nothing.

Specifically my headcanon (and my fic) tends to run to Donna and Gene Hunt as Amy's parents, because my god, the awesome in that family. Also that would make River Song Gene Hunt's granddaughter and that needs to be real life, okay.

Donna and the Gene Genie? I'm sorry, that is too much amazing. I cannot begin to process the amazingness of that.

(and my fic)

WAIT, WHAT? THAT NEWS IS TOO IMPORTANT FOR A PARENTHETICAL. I would say I was equal parts joyful and terrified, but I'd be lying. I have only joy.

It's the most stunning of pairings, they are just meant to be. There's a comm (mostly dead these days), but HERE IS A LITTLE RECS LIST OF THE MOST AWESOME FICS FOR YOUR PERUSUAL:

So Sit On Top Of The World by hazyflights
The first time Gene hits on Donna, she blows her bangs out of her eyes, and tells him in no unequivocal terms to sod off.
Walking Through Sunken Dreams by finkpishnets
For a beginning, Donna thinks, it’s not half bad.
One more dream, one more goodbye by finkpishnets
“Nevertheless,” he says, shrugging, and Donna’s very aware that his presence completely fills the room. She thinks that maybe she’s supposed to be intimidated. She’s really not.

And my own small and previously referenced contribution is Faithfully, because I caught the bug. Reading it back is a fairly terrifying experience for me (a year and a half is a long time in words) but hopefully for other people it's closer to joy. Or at least not abject terror. This pairing, omg.
