I Fail At Updates

[b_c_draygon]

Well. That was a long absence. I really didn't mean to have a month-long hiatus over Easter, but what with one thing (birthday) and another (family stuff), I just didn't have time to update. I am heartily ashamed about this, however, and shll try to make up for it. First of all by making a Very Long Post About What I Did On My Easter Holidays. :P

*grins madly* You're baaaaack! :D
And with a bang, as well. What kind of time turner? Was it one of the Noble Collection ones? Ooo, I'm so jealous. Your games day sounds fun, too - and no wonder you haven't gotten around to posting, it sounds like you've been ridiculously busy :) Have you been on lj much at all? Because if not, you've missed some meltingly good fic at merlinxarthur lately :D
"How to Train Your Dragon" kind of went under my radar, but I might have a looksie now.
I thought Doctor Who was awesome, too. I'm only just starting to picture Eleven in my head instead of Ten when I think of the Doctor - I think it's going to take a while, but it's coming. He's a bit first doctorish, don't you think? With the grumpiness sometimes... hm.
And I'd better stop there, before this comment becomes a post in itself :D Can't wait for the episode tonight!

I aaaaam, yes! :D It's good to know someone's glad to see me.

I actually have no idea what kind it is. I was too overwhelmed by the fact that it was a Time Turner that I didn't even look. XD (I'd check, but it's at home and I'm at Uni., so I can't, sorry.) It's brilliant, though - and actually spins! I am so delighted with it.

Yeah, this holiday has been incredibly busy. But the good kind of busy. :) I've checked my friends list, but I haven't really read any fic. Do you have any particular recommendations? :)

How To Train Your Dragon almost went under my radar, too! I was oblivious until a friend asked me if I'd see it with her (and linked to the trailer where David Tennant does a voiceover describing the different types of dragon ...). I don't know if it's the kind of film that anyone would love, but if you don't mind Pixar cartoons and you like dragons, you'll probably find it reasonably enjoyable

Hehe, try immobulus_icons. _pseudofriends has done an icon post for every episode of this season, except last weeks.
I did a brief merlin fic rec sometime last week on my journal, but I shall have a looksie and send you a few I liked, if you want. :)
I haven't seen tons of Classic Who, but I've got the first story An Unearthly Child and then Caves of Androzani, and I've caught a few more on UKTV Gold every so often. :)
I'm scared and excited about tonight, too - I don't handle scary stuff well, so last week I actually went to sleep curled up with my torch and my sonic screwdriver :D But it's going to be awesome.
*hums happily*

Thanks for the icon heads-up! I'll check out the community in the next couple of days. :D

I will also check out your LJ for recs - and get around to reading the ones you posted in the comment below. Thank you! I don't know why, but in some fandoms, I love AUs - and Merlin is one of the ones that I love them in. (That and Pirates of the Caribbean, oddly enough.) You seem to have picked out a good selection! :D

Ah, UKTV Gold. I remember that channel well, before my dad's stinginess cut in and we stopped being able to get it. D: Ah, well; the opportunity will arise for me to watch some Classic Who eventually!

I have now watched tonight's Doctor Who, and somehow I didn't find it as scary as last week's. (Although, I did read a fic right beforehand that may have ruined the Mood Of Fear. I think it merits a re-watch right after the previous episode before I come to conclusions ...) Still a good episode, though! I hope you don't/didn't have too much trouble sleeping!

Yeah, it was a long post. I'd feel bad, except that I felt the need to talk about absolutely everything that went on ...

Yes, you do. :P I can't remember if I actually wrote about your Durham trip - I'll have to have a check, and correct my grievous ommission if I haven't!

I love the Time Turner. (I also kind of wish I could work out how to make it literally turn time ...) The trips were fun, but HTTYD was one of the highlights. :) (Also, is it just me with the hating of Astrid? General consensus seems to be that she's great and perfect for Hiccup, and to be honest, I just can't see that relationship lasting. I feel she's a better partner for Snotlout. Then again, given my pechant for odd pairings at times ...)

Thanks for the vibes! :D

(Yeah. We have things we need to talk about, and also a catch-up would be good. :D)
