0001. About time I did A Proper One.

Feb 12, 2009 07:20

Yeeeeah, well. I was going to post a "Argh I fucking hate Valentines Day" thing but really, I can't lie. I don't hate it. I'm now quite comfortable with the fact that this year's thing will pass me by completely and I will spend Saturday night either in my living room or my trailer thing on-set, gorging myself with chocolate and watching whatever ( Read more... )

this is unprofessional but i want firsties.

davidjtennant February 12 2009, 07:34:48 UTC

BOF NOKKID. You're a bad lady. But it's okay because I love you.

bif February 12 2009, 07:45:47 UTC

now, in all seriousness. as i read this, my heart kind of goes ping. i'm having an off day today (despite what the time says on this thing here, it's like. 7pm or something ridiculous) and i hate off days because i always feel lonely, and feel the need to cling to someone i love. and it's kind of unwarranted sometimes, i think, and it throws the other party off. that neediness. it's nice when you find someone just as needed that you can commiserate with and just go with it. valentines makes the off day thing worse for me, for some reason. the holiday itself has awesome sentiment but it's just such a huge fucking profiteering scam now, it makes me so sick and i just despise the new found sentiment. the i'm going to get in trouble by my wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend if i don't acknowledge this day bullshit is too much.

wow, breathe, biffy. holy shit. hi dave, i love you too.

davidjtennant February 12 2009, 07:53:15 UTC

I hear you, Biffycakes. There's so much false sentiment attached to the day itself that really at the end of the day it doesn't mean anything anymore so.. it's not so much the holiday itself that I'm bothered about? More.. it'd just be nice. In that kind of wistful way, to have a reason to do something for it. But, I don't and that's just the way it is. I'm not going to sit around and mope about it. Not when there's this much chocolate and booze going around on the cheap, that's for fucking sure.

In with anger, out with love, boo.

I won't lie, I wanted to be first, too. :[

davidjtennant February 12 2009, 08:03:38 UTC

Aww, MMGoodz. All these lovely ladies jostling for my top spot. I feel kind of special, I can't lie.

gmeagan February 12 2009, 08:04:29 UTC

I'll get you next time! SHAKES FIST. Oh, I thought of you tonight, nutty has a new video up!

davidjtennant February 12 2009, 08:07:19 UTC

I got a boobs icon! Adam will be jealous! Aw, see.. I intended to sign on and then I didn't because I got sidetracked by food and Shaun of the Dead on telly and sort of fell asleep. That and I'm still easing myself back into being sociable. Brb, youtube.

your mixtape is awesome and i am all for not moping around on valentine's day! i plan on going to see some good theater. you can even come with me if you're around los angeles at all. meanwhile, i am downloading some of those songs right this second.

davidjtennant February 12 2009, 08:05:39 UTC

Thank you! You know what, that could well be a very good idea, and were I not stranded in Costa Del Cardiff for the time being I'd most certainly attempt to take you up on that. I hope you like them! I'm sure I've uploaded half of that stuff before to be honest but I've put up so much music in the last 18 months or whatever that I can't actually remember what I have and haven't anymore.

abenson February 12 2009, 09:13:36 UTC

stranded? more like blessed to be in such a place. los angeles has it's wonders but i think i want to take off on something fresh and exotic. will i? different question. the secret to keeping track may or may not be creating a running playlist on itunes. it keeps my brain organized and i can date the playlists too, just to revert back to certain emotions for whatever girly reason.

davidjtennant February 13 2009, 06:36:01 UTC

I can't lie. It is a bit like home to me, now. I'll miss it terribly when I'm not here any more. You know, if I actually used iTunes I'd probably do that, Amber Benson. I am currently strictly old-skool and still using Winamp. Though I should probably save playlists on there, too. Oh well.

mayjames February 12 2009, 09:15:02 UTC

You, sir, watch far too much BB2, yet I find it very flattering in some bizarre internet way that I'm mentioned in your entry.

But if you'd like, I can always offer you a lovely caravan holiday one of these days. Don't worry, it doesn't usually turn into a peas, carrots and haggis fest but most of the time like the very large photo I've enclosed below.

I promise the old man (THE ONE ON THE LEFT) won't be involved.

I'm no fan of Valentine's Day either, even though this year is by far more worthy of such celebration but really, shouldn't every day be a day you shower the one you care about with attention? I am an old fashioned git, though, and probably will succumb in some manner to a festive dinner. Or what not. Still, the songs... oh, the songs. I could list off so many I barely can handle anymore because of the ex's and torrid relationships... and I still keep attaching feelings to songs even now. One day, perhaps, I'll learn.

Or not.

davidjtennant February 13 2009, 06:39:29 UTC

I was actually catching up on Drink to Britain. I kept missing it for one reason or another so I had to watch it online. I do love that shirt, James. I may have to steal it.

Haha, with that amount of beer? Count me in.

Yes, definitely. I'm sure you'll have a great one this year and more power to you, but you're absolutely right. Why does it take a day of the year to be dictated to the world, to show a bit of love? You can do it any day of the week, if you so wish. You know what? I won't stop doing it either, as much as I dislike the fact that when it's all over I'll never be able to listen to them again.

mayjames February 13 2009, 10:43:44 UTC

Why stop at a tshirt?. My two shirts, a blue and red, were given to me as gifts, but I love them. Now you too can be decked out in Pure British Churchill Style!

davidjtennant February 13 2009, 11:09:32 UTC

Oh James why you show me these things? I've just bought myself a hoodie. WHY? I DON'T NEED ANY MORE HOODIES!? I have a whole wardrobe dedicated to the bloody things..

You're a bad influence.

The older I get the weirder Valentine's day gets, I mean the drama and shit was always there, but I think this year it's beaten out of me. I tried to get away from me and realized I couldn't, so I've tried to embrace it because I've gotten pings. I mean there is nothing like a national holiday thing to remind you of a relationship you don't have even when people are like oh well there's friends and families and that's all well and good, but hey, the reality is people are alone on valentine's day. Now I'm pretty settled on getting a juicy burger and having some tequila shots with jake. Anyway, I am not into wallowing, that's one thing I'm way past, but the gimme some sugar part makes me think of the song.

davidjtennant February 13 2009, 06:42:45 UTC

That's exactly it, I think. If someone has a significant other and they're going all out tomorrow, more power to them but I don't much like it being wafted in my face so much because then all it is is a bitter reminder of what you don't have. Which is a bit unpleasant. Though now I'm kind of looking forward to the weekend because there's a few of us who are probably all going to bandy together and be bitter old sods about the whole sorry thing. Bit of booze and it'll be grand. Wallowing does nobody any good, I've found. HAHA i knew I'd heard it somewhere, I just wasn't sure where... I thought I was copying Bruce Campbell for some reason.
