Happy Birthday David Tennant!
Ooh, I remember my Dad's 37th birthday party...I would have about 8 at the time. He hated being 37. I had called loads of family round and he went upstairs to sulk. So me and everyone else had the sweet potato pie Grandma made, which was delicious. And when I went to check up on Dad he was wasted and refused to come down even for Ferrero Rocher. They're good memories....maybe they sound a bit wrong to people (parents getting drunk and sulky on their birthday) but it was really funny, still is. I hope Tennant is fucking wasted at this time of night and can't even remember his name, lol. I would be. And in the recesses of my fangirl mind, I wonder if he's thinking about when his parents got married and started having kids and scary, silly things like that. I know I would...
Anyhoo, this ramblement was just say happy birthday to him, and to say I'm going under for a couple of days whilst I finish writing my 5000 word essay about LGBT activism in Britain in the 1990s, cos I'm an idealistic idiot who should have gone for something easy and non-commital like the issues of free speech, or how New Labour is a traitor or something. I'm at 1400 words (got till Monday) and that is because I can't concentrate. Also, because I saw Serenity tonight, which was fan-fucking-tastic. I stumbled across it on a marathon on the sci-fi channel because the film had just come out. I didn't see the film but I saw loads of episodes, wasn't perfectly aware of what was going on, but I loved it. The film too, was really funny and awesome. Why, oh why oh why was it cancelled? Why can't shareholders sense the awesomeness of a space cowboys war survivor drama-comedy-action thing of wonderfulness?? I think I love all the character, even Kayley(sp?), but mainly because my friend Jack may kill me if I don't! It does that wonderful thing of making it as realistic as possible - dirty clothes, superpowers we recognise, scenes that don't remind of the Fifth Element (not that I'm dissing that film - I loved it also, but Serenity/Firefly is completely different), characters that have their own agendas and interact well together, fabulous humour and not a unitard in sight!
We then went to watch the outtakes, which are made of awesome. If anyone has seen them, you will read "there was so much death...*dances*" and fall apart with laughter. I know I did! I was helpless with laughter, definitely the funniest thing I've seen...this year? Oh I dunno, I just love crack. And I'm now also in love with Nathan Pillon, for being gorgeous and funny and not being a perfect superhero, just a bad-ass one. It's almost enough to make me consider delving into the fandom, if there is one....
But I mustn't think such traitorous thoughts as I still have 3000 words to write by Monday! I shall leave you then...and, yeah, I'd like to know: What's the funniest thing you've seen/heard/read this year?
Over and out xxx
