One of the best things about birthdays in this day and age of the internet is that due to so many presents being ordered through websites, your excitement and presents tend to stretch over several days since there isn't a website in the world who can seem to ever get something to you in a timely manner. Even if you plan ahead and order your perfect present weeks before the date you need it on, it will arrive the day after. Always. It's can be added to Ben's list of things that can be guaranteed in life: Nothing is certain in life except Death, Taxes and Shipped Presents Arriving a Day Late. It's irritating when you're the gift giver, but when you're the gift recipient it can be fun because just when you think it's back to ho hum as usual, there's one more surprise!
And what can be a better surprise to come home to than this?
Ahhhhhhhhh!!! It's the Doctor!!!! I'm like Donna, answering, "Come with you?! Oh, yes, please!" before he even asks the question. And then... oh, wait, you're cardboard. Goddamnit.
Seriously? My actual reaction was to have a small heart attack. I came home from work really late on Saturday - after Midnight - and did my usual puttering around before going back to my bedroom. The way my bedroom and bathroom are set up, I actually have two ways to enter my room. Through the main door, or through the bathroom since it also serves as our guest bath. Since my bedroom door was inexplicably closed, I went in through the bathroom. And since I was entering the room from the side, I saw my Doctor out of the corner of my eye for the first time and really thought there was a man in my room... Tall and slim and just a little bit foxy... *slaps self* Ahem, needless to say, if I was a screamer, I might have screamed, despite the fact that Amy did everything she could to set him up so he wouldn't scare me. Once I realized what I was seeing, I might have screamed again, this time of the fangirl variety!! Even though I put this epic standee as the Highest Priority item on my Amazon Wish List, I had serious doubts whether anyone would humor this particularly geeky quirk. Even Amy, since even she only has so much patience with my nerdy ramblings and obsessions. And yet she got me my very own Doctor even though I know she just rolls her eyes at my tendency to sit and think about Doctor Who for about 10 hours a day. Fantastic. So very fantastic. And I love how she set him up with all the balloons so he would just be waiting for me after a long day at work. Hee!! She said she wishes he didn't have such a stern look on his face, but, that's the Doctor! He's always so disappointed in everyone not living up to their dazzling potential that Ten spends the majority of his run giving someone that look. It's kind of sexy. But, I think everything about David Tennant is sexy. I told Amy that it reminds me of that LOL Celebs that had him with that same look on his face and the caption, "David Tennant knows about your fan-fiction." Bwah!
I promise his permanent place isn't going to be in my bedroom. Even I'm not that strange. Yet. He's there for now until we can clear the space in the office where I've been thinking I'd love to put him ever since Amazon first so kindly pointed him out to me about 6 months ago. I don't remember what I bought, but it popped up those, "Based your purchase today, we think you'd also enjoy:" recommedations and he was one of them. And I'm like, "Oh, yes, I would enjoy!" *g*
I love my Doctor... Sophie not so much. Every time she walks past my bedroom, she growls and comes racing down the hall like Lassie to alert me of danger. When I don't respond, she gives me a curious look like, "But... but... there's a man in your bedroom. And he's just STANDING THERE. Do something!" I'm slightly concerned that since he's made of cardboard, she might attack him one day, so I don't have any plans to let her ever be alone with the standee!
Speaking of Sophie (see what I did there, Anastasia Fans?), she's having her big girl day and getting spayed. And it's high time too. In the last week, we've seen her normally sweet behavior take a turn for the bitchy. Almost overnight. Hello, PMS Puppy! She's been an A student in Obedience School, last Wednesday she was something like a D+. She's been barking and growling at every other dog we meet and nipping at us and generally just not acting like herself. Then I recalled the origins of the word "Bitch". Right. So, then, there is a reason that word was borrowed to refer to a, ahem, difficult woman. I've just never had an animal that wasn't fixed before, so I wasn't prepared for hormonal behavior. None of that nonsense, please! I'm hoping she'll be a little calmer with Syd and Smoosh after her surgery as well.
Just because she's been acting bitchy lately doesn't mean that I'm still not going to press more pictures of her upon my f-list. At least I know everyone here are animal lovers and I'm not insisting people look at pictures of children.
A Lady Reveals Nothing - She always crosses her little back legs like this when she lays down. It looks like a heart:
Corgi Butt Hearts You!
I don't know if this is something all corgis do, but it's adorable and I'll forgive her just about anything for that level of cuteness. Her bdonkadonk makes me laugh because she's one of the few dogs I've seen who looks like just has big old round cheeks. It either reminds me of a deer, a sassy black woman, or a satyr depending on how she's standing/moving.
Sorry for the poor image quality. I've noticed that in my last few posts. Photobucket is super easy to use, has tons of space, and is free, but the image quality after upload is just awful. I probably need to look into using something else. Any suggestions?
Rickston: Who put you in charge? And who the hell are you anyway?
The Doctor: *turns* I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey, the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm nine hundred and three years old and I'm the man whose gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. .. You got a problem with that?
Rickston: No.
The Doctor: In that case.. Allons'y!
