'love, love will tear us apart again'
Mar. 16th, 2009 10:23 pmHumour me, flist. It is either keep myself busy on the internets, or go and throw up forever. Nausea is not the boss of me, I say! I say, down with fail and up with FREAKING POINTLESS MEMES! FUN FOR EVERYONE! also I am going to get those 5 Things comments done very very soon, I promise.
On another note, I'm thinking about making this journal semi-friends only. I mean, I lock most of the stuff I don't feel comfortable sharing with the world at large, but I'm thinking of maybe extending that to just everything that isn't either an entirely fandom-related post, or fic. Flist, what are your thoughts? Are you friends-only? What do you think of friends-only journals in general? Has semi-friends only worked for you?
Feel free to join in with one, or both, I really don't mind! I'm off on a new icon gathering haul around LJ, la la la, I must make the most of these two short months with all the userpic spaces, fun fun fun.
1) Comment and I will:
1) Tell you why I friended you.
2) Associate you with a song/film.
3) Tell a random fact about you.
4) Tell a first memory about you.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7) Show you my favourite user pic of yours.
8) In retort, you must spead this disease in your LJ. (except, you don't have to do this at all, whatever meme rules, I openly defy you).
2) Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.
(Also, I really don't mind if you pick more than one character, but no more than three please, because there are LIMITS TO MY BRAIN.)
BASICALLY I JUST WANT TO BUM AROUND THE INTERNET FOR A BIT; WHO'S WITH ME?

Date: 2009-03-16 10:50 pm (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. Calendar Girls, because we watched it that time when you were staying with meeee, and we ate Chinese foods - both having the same thing, because we are apparently twins in the brain - and now I can't see it without thinking of youuu.
3) Tell a random fact about you. You have met Harriet Walter and have photographic evidence to prove it!
4) Tell a first memory about you. Reading your journal entries and seeing that you not only liked Laura Roslin but also LENA OLIN, what what what. (Actually, was it BSG that led me to you? I don't know. If it was, it was reeeeeally at the beginning of my BSG-madness, because I remember being like, what is going on with this Roslin woman.)
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. BILL ADAMA/IMPOTENCY.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. Er er er, let me think. Is there anything you've always really wanted to do, outside academia, but have held back from in favour of the more scholarly things?
7) Show you my favourite user pic of yours. Either
Speaking of BSG, it had better buck its ideas up for the finale - I've seen up to Islanded in a Stream of Stars, so no spoilers beyond that, plz - because WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING WITH LAURA? DID SHE REFER TO HERSELF AS ADAMA'S WOMAN? YES, YES, SHE DID. ANGERRRRRR. ffs, if this is the road they're going down, why didn't they just kill her when they got to Earth and spare me all this shitty, her-only-motivation-now-is-Adama crap. RAAAAAGE.

Date: 2009-03-16 10:59 pm (UTC)- He really was in love with Charles, utterly and completely. He ended up in Morocco because it was the only place that was different enough to his surroundings in England, or in Venice, that he could stop thinking about him.
- He secretly wishes he could have got along better with his mother, and regrets, slightly, that they became so alienated from one another. In another life, perhaps, he would like to think that she accepted him more, and he antagonised her less, and maybe they would never be as close as some families, but they could at least agree to disagree, and maybe enjoy each other's company on occasion.
- It took him years to actually like the taste of alcohol; certainly his first term at Oxford was spent bluffing about how well he could hold his drink. He doesn't think Charles knows this; however, Charles thinks it is because Sebastian spent so long convincing other people he liked to drink that he stopped being able to tell when enough was enough, and if he'd cared a little bit less about maintaining an image, he might not have ended up the way he did.
Pauline (AFGH, why haven't you seen the third season? MY CANON ENCOMPASSES THAT, but I shall hold off on the spoiiilers):
- She has a desk at home in which every drawer is filled with pens, all of them in their own individually-labelled, hand-made little pen-beds.
- She once sucked half the ink out of a gel pen to see what it tasted like, and then was sick in bright magenta for two whole days.
- She thinks Mickey would make a really good fireman, but she's too afraid to tell him in case he doesn't want to see her once he's finally got a job; what she doesn't know is, he would want to see her even if he became a millionaire, because she makes him feel special, despite the bullying.

Date: 2009-03-16 11:07 pm (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. Actually, I associate you with Hamlet, weirdly enough, because of Tennant's highly attractive run in that, and mainly I think about theatre in connection with you because you post about it so often! :DDD Er, I should add that the Hamlet association is solely because of Tennant and not because of, er, any ridiculous tragic melodrama or skulls or ALAS POOR YORICKING or anything like that.
3) Tell a random fact about you. You... are... currently in Italy?
4) Tell a first memory about you. Really, really liking that Who/Green Wing icon.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. Ten! You are the Ten girl! You bring all the Tennant love to my flist, for which I am grateful, because his face is so freaking lovely.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. After university, what is your plan?

Date: 2009-03-16 11:15 pm (UTC)- He totally did sleep with Christopher Miracle. They pretend they were both drunk, and neither of them remember. This is not true: Lucifer does, but he is willing to pretend otherwise if Christopher is more comfortable that way.
- He looks like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/Moogle62/Lucifertotes.jpg) in The Vesuvius Club and this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/Moogle62/askfbjsbfjfbmark.jpg) in The Devil Wears Amber.
- When he was younger, he wanted to be rich; when he grew up, he wanted to be rich and happy. He feels like this is something he has, on the whole, achieved.

no subject
Date: 2009-03-16 11:26 pm (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. Ohhh, goddd, I don't really associate you with a song or a film; I associate you (now) with the lovely Derren, but before that with Top Gear, and Pokemon. Er er er er. OH NO, WAIT: that insane song you linked to in one of your entries from a video game - it, er, involved The Little Mermaid, I think, or it was at least set under the sea - and it was completely crackers, and may have been in a different language, and it was brilliant.
3) Tell a random fact about you. YOU SENT DERREN BROWN A UKULELE.
4) Tell a first memory about you. That Torchwood post! You liked Suzie and Rhys, and it was awesome. Also reading your Top Gear fic and laughing so much I thought I might actually just die. That one about NaNoWriMo still makes me laugh to the point where I can't really breathe properly, just so you know, and the one where the TG boys go to Silent Hill is one of my favourite fics, ever, no joke. ♥ Oh oh, I know, finding out that you liked Sherlock Holmes, and having to go and read all the entries you had ever made about it, because Holmes and Watson own a huge and lasting part of my soul.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. EVERYONE EVER/EVERYONE EVER, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE NOT AT ALL LIKELY TO BE IN A PAIRING OR INDEED THE SAME PLACE AT ALL. In particular, now, Doctor/Derren, but that is for Obvious and Understandable Reasons!
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. Why English Language? (I mean, I completely get it - I am a grammar/word geek too, if not a particularly adept one - but what is it about the subject that really makes you go YES THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO?

Date: 2009-03-16 11:31 pm (UTC)- He and Tennant and Mark Gatiss are all BFFs. Like, FOREVER. He and Mark bond over their love of Victoriana, and he and Tennant bond because they are both massive dorks, and Derren is the only one of them that can actually cook, so he tends to be the one to host evenings together: Tennant sometimes has a go, but then they end up getting a takeaway once they see the end product, and Mark doesn't even try anymore - if they go to his house, Derren cooks there, or they just order something straight away.
- They don't talk about the last time Mark tried to cook.
- He kind of doesn't like Reece Shearsmith but gets on with him because they are both really good friends with Mark, and neither of them want to upset him in any way.
- CONFLICTING PERSONAL CANON: he and Reece get on really well because they both love magic so much.
- He talks to the moose-head on his walls.
- When he's bored, he tries to count in his head. In Braille.
- He may or may not be a vampire/time lord/secret ukulele player/pig farmer who has abandoned his family estate/the man from the moon.
WHAT WHAT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW, OKAY. Also we are totes watching some League when I come and stay. You have no choice in the matter.

Date: 2009-03-16 11:45 pm (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I don't even know why, really, other than Gary is in it, it's all literary and awesome, and I still haven't seen it, but somehow I just think of it and I think of youuu.
3) Tell a random fact about you. YOUR BEDROOM FLOOR IS THE BEST BEDROOM FLOOR EVER. Er, and in Proper Fact Land, you used to have really long blonde hair but now you don't.
4) Tell a first memory about you. Asking you where I could find those pictures with John Simm and Philip Glenister in costume for LoM, dicking around and laughing like spacks. In terms of actual face-to-face memories, that half an hour of insanity in McDonalds, which I think will go down in the annals of time for the most anyone has ever spoken about Gary Oldman without ever taking a breath.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. REMUS/SRIUS. MARK/REECE. GARY OLDMAN/YOUR FACE.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. Er er er, okay. Guilty pleasures: what are some of yours?
7) Show you my favourite user pic of yours. I love this one -

Date: 2009-03-16 11:57 pm (UTC)- She's actually quite glad Sue White kissed her: she's always wanted to know what it would be like to kiss a woman, but she's always been a bit afraid to try, in case it made her a lesbian and she had to renounce men forever and live with twenty cats and start using handkerchiefs and stop shaving her legs.
- Sometimes she wonders what would have happened if she had chosen Guy. Sometimes she wishes she had.
- The thing she is most proud of in her life is having become a doctor. At the same time, she would have quite liked to have had a job selling coffee in Starbucks forever, with no responsibility and free muffins, but this is just because she tends to panic under pressure and then every option apart from the one she is currently pursuing looks more tempting.
- She once ate a tin of baked beans without warming them up, because her microwave was broken and she didn't want to get a pan dirty, and she quite liked it.
Mitchell:
- The first person he slept with after becoming a vampire was Herrick. It was quick, and it didn't mean much at all, and it was in a cold alleyway in the dead of night. Mitchell told him to keep his uniform on, and Herrick had looked at him like he could see every thought Mitchell had ever had, and Mitchell just pressed his front into the wall so he could only see the bricks in front of his eyes, and thought about blood, and nothing else until they were both fastening themselves up again afterwards.
- After meeting George for the first time, he cried, because to do what they were planning took a kind of bravery he didn't know he had. It was one of the first things he'd done, in this second life, that he was proud of doing.
- He doesn't share biscuits.
- He and Prior have slept together.
- He likes to think the moon really is made of cheese.

Edit: Because I am the QUEEN of the public/not debate: semi-friends only really did not work for me because I am in the habit of dropping personal details every which way, and so had issues keeping entries STRICTLY FANDOM RELATED, and stuff. Also, I am paranoid to a ridiculous degree, and all.

Date: 2009-03-17 12:21 am (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. Now you will forever be associated with White Houses by Vanessa Carlton, because of that vid. You know it makes sense!
3) Tell a random fact about you. You like Maths! I remember this, because it makes you a freak (kiddinggg): Maths makes me cry, a lot, and now I don't have to do it anyyyymore, I am so happy hurrah hurrah hurrah, screw you, numbers.
4) Tell a first memory about you. BRADLEY JAMES WAS RAISED BY PONIES.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. Colin/Bradleyyy all the way. Your fic! It is essentially my canon!
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. Ummm, I can't think, oh god, my mind is going blank. What is your favourite food? What is your favourite ice-cream flavour? Recommend me three books. THAT IS TOTALLY ONE QUESTION, SHUT UP. I HATE MATHS.
7) Show you my favourite user pic of yours.
I am also having problems not just spilling out personal details hither and thither. Hmm hmm hmm, what to do. I do not want my rl friends to find this - not because I would be embarrassed, but because I want to keep this just entirely separate from them, if that makes sense? Like, I wouldn't care if they knew all the rubbish I blather on about, or the fic - if they have a problem with it, they have a problem with it, there's not much I can do about that - I just like having the internets for me, you know, just. Idek, I can't explain it. I AM HAPPY ON THE INTERNETS; SUCK IT, REAL LIFE.

Date: 2009-03-17 12:29 am (UTC)- When he's with Kara, he wonders whether she'd rather be with Zak.
- He wishes he and his father could have gotten along earlier; then again, he kind of doesn't, because it makes this relationship, now, at the end of the world, all the more special.
- Every night, he goes to sleep hoping he doesn't wake up as a cylon.
- Even when he's hated Laura - and he has hated Laura - he's still respected her. Deep down, whenever he hears her talking, he always remembers a scared Secretary of Education, wrapped in a blanket, discovering that everyone above her in the line of succession had been killed, and there not being a single flicker of fear on her face at receiving the news, despite the way her voice shook when she was being sworn in, and the way she helped up shortly after they first met, and thanked him for saving their collective asses.
- He once had a dream that he slept with Gaius Baltar.

Kind of The History Boys, because of that one picspam, but in general I associate you with Robin Hood - I don't know why, because I'm not in that fandom at all and indeed have never even seen an episode (!) - SO THERE WE GO.
3) Tell a random fact about you. You live in York! Where I used to live! AWESOME.
4) Tell a first memory about you. YOU ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO AMAZING THINGS. LIKE FIC. AND IT IS BRILLIANT lolol Bradley James was raised by ponies.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. Currently, I would say Effy, from Skins - despite you not being the person on my flist I immediately associate with Skins, I think about you when I'm skimming my flist and there's an Effy icon. IDEK, OKAY.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. Ooooh, this is always a dangerous question (I am secretly ridiculously nosy, oh my god, this is such a problem). Okay, after university, what then? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? If you could learn another language overnight, what would it be? What is your favourite flavour of ice-cream? ALL OF THESE ARE RIDICULOUS THINGS TO WANT TO KNOW, BUT WHATEVS, oh dear.

Date: 2009-03-17 12:48 am (UTC)- He has a memory of being a very little child, and being picked up and held close by his father like nothing else mattered. He vows, when he has children, never to make them feel that loved and then to take that feeling away.
- Merlin is actually the best servant he has had: despite his blatant inability to actually do anything, ever, he talks to him like he would anybody else, and Arthur finds it refreshing, and challenging, and something of a turn-on.
- Merlin obviously uses magic: Arthur is not either blind or stupid, but he pretends that he's both because he knows it makes Merlin feel safe.
- When Uther dies, Arthur will cry like a child, with hiccups and a blotchy, red face, and Merlin will hold him until he can breathe properly, and then neither of them will ever mention it to each other after that.
- He has slept with Morgana.
- He thinks he might marry Gwen; he suspects she would rather be with Lancelot, but Arthur's going to be the king, damn it, doesn't he have the right to choose who he marries?
- He doesn't believe magic to be evil; he believes people can be evil, and magic is just a part of who a person is, like if they like potatoes more than porridge.
- He doesn't like potatoes or porridge.

Date: 2009-03-17 01:00 am (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. Withnail and I! Mainly because you went on a holiday to a cottage, and basically that dooms anyone to instantly be connected to the phrase ARE YOU THE FARMER? in my mind. ajkbdabjfja good times.
3) Tell a random fact about you. You... are at university in Glasgow! My mother knows you, when I mention you in passing, like, if I'm talking about LJ or something, idk, as Glasgow-Alice (she first knew Maddie as ukulele-Maddie!).
4) Tell a first memory about you. You doing a picspam and me knowing maybe, like, three of the people in it, and you going IN TIME, MOOG, YOU WILL KNOW THEM ALL. I found this picspam again a couple of weeks ago, for some reason or another - probably looking for pictures of Marrrrrk - and it was true: now they were all known in my head. YOU ARE PSYCHIC.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. Remus/Sirius. I think this is because of one of those icon-fic posts you did, and you had a really freaking attractive icon of David Thewlis, and now this is forever in my brain.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. How did you get into liking League? Name a favourite League moment!

Oh, god, there's one by Tori Amos (I think it's a cover? it goes 'all the white horses' in it at some point; it might have the word 'winter' in the title?) that I am entirely forgetting the name of, and for some reason I hear that when I read your entries.
3) Tell a random fact about you. You are going to America for a concert, which I think is amazing.
4) Tell a first memory about you. Leaving a comment to ask to be friends directly below a comment from someone who just said 'I like the O.C.' and nothing else, and your reply being something like 'I think we need more in common', and me being worried that you would say the same to me.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. Hmm hmm hmm, I don't know. I think I associate you more with people than with characters - like, I think about you and I think about Stevie Nicks!

Oooh, okay: Help, by the Beatles, because I listened to your version of it in my ears, like, on repeat while I wrote that Matt Smith/Tennant thing, which took about two hours or so, and now when I hear someone who isn't your ukulele band of good singing it, it sounds wrong.
3) Tell a random fact about you.
I think you're really freaking fabulouswhat what who said that. Er. You are destined to marry that chip dude, who has MADE HIMSELF SOME POCKETS JUST SO HE CAN GET ON THE TRAIN. No, er, you work for AQA, the text dudes, and basically I want to do that too.4) Tell a first memory about you. Talking about favourite Green Wing episodes, and then showing you that fic I wrote, and then you making me watch LoM and me just entirely going mental for about three months and not being able to revise properly for a couple of GCSEs until I had written some fic down first.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. First and foremost, Sam/Gene. And then, er, Derren/Mark/Reece, because of that time without food or sleep but with all the awesome in the world in one small room. :DD
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. If you could do anything at all right now, what would you want to do? On an entirely shallow note: shag, marry, push off a cliff - Tennant, Gatiss, Reeson. GO GO GO.

On a side-note, I kind of want to learn German - I hear it's an easier language to learn than the romance languages. I KNOW NO GERMAN AT ALL, APART FROM 'SHIT', 'SHIT-HOUSE', 'HELLO' AND 'THANK YOU'. SO USEFUL.
4) Tell a first memory about you. Having known you for all of one day, I immediately exposed the entirety of my inner crazy and Mark/Reece shipping brain, and had a loooooong conversation with you about Mark and Reece and shoes and socks, which was AMAZING.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. I think we can safely say that this will be Shoe Man and Sock Boy! (and also Shoe Man/Sock Boy, which is less wrong than it sounds, because we know that Sock Boy is not actually a boy.)

Ooh, actually, no, I kind of associate you with Enchanted April - I think it's because that's such a sweet film, and you're such a sweet person! - and also The Hours, from lingering MRAP-associations: didn't you have an avatar from The Hours for a while over there? ALSO YOUR NAME IS NESSA, SO THERE.
3) Tell a random fact about you. You live in Australia, which confuses me in terms of how the academic year works and also in terms of how a year works out, because everything is ALL OPPOSITE and I am quite ridiculous, lolol.
4) Tell a first memory about you. Hmm. I think probably that discussion we all had over at MRAP about serial killers - like, we started talking about irrational fears, and that led to not liking to see shadows behind a closed curtain, or turn to the wall when in a shower, and stuff like that - on the Prince and Me thread, and then we all realised we were WILDLY off-topic. I don't know if that's a first memory (I don't think it is), but it is at least an enduring one!

Date: 2009-03-17 06:40 pm (UTC)1) Tell you why I friended you. I think I first stumbled across your journal via one of your Mac/Guy fics - the one about the jelly? - and then, having a little read of your entries, YOU TOOK LATIN, and that was basically it, I had to friend you or else die miserable.
2) Associate you with a song/film. The X-Men, because you wrote that fic (lol so many ficcings going on), and I only barely knew the characters, but fucking hell, was it hot. akjbdskajbdjk
3) Tell a random fact about you. You... er.. are tall!
4) Tell a first memory about you. Oh god, I don't have a first memory as such, but I do remember COMPLETELY SPACKING OUT over our shared hatred of Dido, and just thinking, thank god I know this person. DOE SIMILE FTL
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. STILL DIDO/YOU ALL THE WAY BB
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
When are we meeting upBiscuits - tell me about your favourite kind. ALSO: OVID V. LIVY: THE FACE-OFF. WHO WINS?7) Show you my favourite user pic of yours. Either
IN CONCLUSION, I AM AN ICON HO.
and also this icon made me laugh like a spacker

Date: 2009-03-19 03:49 am (UTC)About the friends only question-- I've been friends only since basically the beginning, and I'm a big fan. But at the same time, I'm one of those people that inherently distrusts the internet and I tend to be pretty chatty about real life stuff, you know? IDK, I just prefer having a certain degree of control, I guess.
Hope things are going well!!

Date: 2009-03-19 11:37 am (UTC)2) Associate you with a song/film. The Dark Knight! This should probably be the XF film, considering I think it sent us both a bit mad, but I remember seeing your posts about TDK and coming back to read them after I'd seen the film as well, so, clearly that left an impression on me!
3) Tell a random fact about you. You, er, are doing something in the line of medicine? You came to England that time? Your sister has had a baby recently?
4) Tell a first memory about you. Making a post that was sheer sentimental rubbish about being a bit overwhelmed by the fact that we were finally getting X-Files on a cinema screen, and that I could see them with my eyes and that MULDER AND SCULLY WERE COMING BACK TO MEEEEEE, and you commenting with COMPLETE AGREEMENT. :DDD
5) Associate you with a character/pairing. Mulder/Scully WASN'T THAT OBVIOUS?
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. ajdbabd okay, let me think. What is your favourite type of ice-cream? If you could live anywhere, where would it be? If you could do one thing right now to improve your life, what would it be? QUESTIONNNNS.
7) Show you my favourite user pic of yours.
Don't worry about keeping up with the flist: if you can, you can, you know? Afgh, I am so shattered idek what I'm saying, but basically HI IT'S NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU ♥♥♥♥♥
