All right... it's been a while since I've gotten my rant/analysis/squee on about Doctor Who (since June, in fact... where have I even been?)

Haha, sorry I missed this post yesterday. You were saying?

P.S. I bought another Sims expansion pack the other day and was able to make some adjustments to most of the trolls. Gamzee in particular has been significantly improved.

Ahaha, I ended up subjecting you to the beginning of my ramblings in your journal today anyway. ^_^ But we can move them over here if need be! And I can be all "No, but really, I think there's something significant to the fact that there are only four repeat references to beverages in the entire comic, and Rose and Kanaya get the "mature" ones (alcohol and blood) and Dave and Gamzee get the "kiddy" ones (apple juice and Faygo).

But in reality, they could live any time in the

I will get to the rest of this tomorrow, but: You have no idea how strongly I am currently considering stealing your thoughts on the Handmaid and writing that fic myself. That would be so much fun. Though yeah, delving into Alternain history right now would just be asking to get Jossed.
