The first bit of background information you may need is the fact that I really like Doctor Who. This is unsurprising --I am a geeky twenty-something with a thing for British accents and escapist fiction. Doctor Who is right up my alley.

The second bit of background information you need is that, my senior year of high school, I was going to Rocky Horror every other month or so with [livejournal.com profile] shadowcaptain and [livejournal.com profile] disc_sophist. At one of these, the latter of those two had a small plastic replica of the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. It glowed blue, and made noise, and I coveted.

The third bit of background information you need is the fact that I moved to Boston a few months later, and found that Newbury Comics sold such toys, for a very reasonable amount of money. Fuck coveting, I went ahead and bought myself the shiny! I posted a gleeful picture showing it off, and was met with...with innuendo!

You people have dirty minds. My new little toy? Was not to go anywhere near my tender nether regions, really now.

The fourth bit of background information you need is the fact that having lived in my backpack or on my person for most of three years now, that toy has broken, conveniently timed with the tenth doctor going out of vogue and a new doctor appearing, with a new design for his Sonic Screwdriver. I have been saying for a few months now that I really must get my hands on one sometime.

With all that in mind?

This? )

Thank you for your time.

So, a proper report of the last few weeks!

On the fourteenth, I got my drivers license, because I am rad.

On the fifteenth, I flew Home and went to Arisia )

Nineteenth was Monday of Arisia. While packing, I think to check the internet, find out what time I can move into my dorm. I mean, last year I could doso just post Arisia, it seemed sensible to expect the same out of this year.

...heh.

"Hey mom? It says I can move in at noon. On the twenty-fifth."

Luckily, I had a handy dandy Magus who I could beg into giving me crash space for a week, so I did that.

Twentieth through the twenty fourth, I hung out with Magus, caught almost all the way up on Doctor Who (just need to watch the Christmas Special!), had a grand old time of things, and did a few other things, like harassing j7y more (it is a hobby! Also, we watched Mighty Boosh!!) and babysitting. And maybe I had a teeny tiny breakdown somewhere in the middle of All That, and had to spend a little bit of time righting my brain.

Twenty third was Friday of Vericon )

The twenty-fifth I skipped Vericon completely, moved in eventually, hugged my roommates, and got dragged to a lesbians house to watch a movie called "Wristcutters: A love story". I kinda want to write fanfic about that setting, though I think I'm not emo enough. Good movie though, very light and fun and reasonably fluffy. And romantic, of course.

The twenty sixth was today, and I'll report on all my classes once I've had the other two. Can I just say EEEE, CALCULUS! though?

And now food and dance. Ta!

I...think I just had a nightmare.

I am lucky enough, blessed enough, that I do not get nightmares often.1 Actually, this paired with this dream from the summer makes two in about eight months which is...a lot, for me. Luckily, this one does not have such a vivid imprint of what happened, instead, it has the lasting mental side effects, the clearest and worst of which is that I am right now decidedly touch-negative.

The really *really* impressive part of this, though, is that I can now legitimately say that Stevan Moffet has given me nightmares. There was a heavy sci-fi bend to the whole dream, and I think parts of it had the same feel as one of the scary episodes of Who. Other themes I remember? I was a prisoner, trying to escape and not yet good enough. I was being trained or watching someone be trained who was Just Not Good Enough to please her/my master. I...feel like there was an undercurrent of (sexual?) child abuse as well, as a feel, but I just don't remember well enough.

And yet, the traces fade. I think I am okay to go be held, and feel safe. Safety is, after all, key.

~Sor
MOOP!

1: I get disturbingly sexual dreams once in a while, which tend to leave me feeling off, but are not nightmares per se.

Two years ago today, it was 2007.

And on a whim, Ksatyr and I went out to explore the world. We spent quite a bit of time discussing Doctor Who, in between our playing with foam swords at the toy store and doing vegan shopping, which is more interesting than the regular kind.

Plus, I was a girl in a game store1, which sometimes happens, and is always somewhat amusing.

Yeah. 'twas a good day.

~Sor
MOOP!

1: I am often a girl in a gamestore. But there is this special undercurrent that occasionally happens when I am the only girl in the gamestore, and the guy-geeks are in awe that a wo-man would invade their territory, or better yet, know what a mox ruby is.

Okay, so I know I just posted. (and please go reply to that post!) But I made a Public Service Announcement regarding the fact that my Sonic Screwdriver is NOT a vibrator, and as it keeps making me giggle, I have to post it here.

I'm sure mum's gonna be just THRILLED at what a wonderful student I am and how well I am managing my time.



Thank you for your time.

Today was reasonably wonderful.

I went out and met [livejournal.com profile] jarne for the first time ever, which went totally well, mostly because neither of us was actually an internet predator hell bent on raping the other. We wandered around the COOP and all around Harvard Square area, including finding a playground and being a bad influence on the small children. (Well, we did tell them not to imitate us.)

NTS: I need to start writing in BehindTheWalls again.

But yeah. It was really nice --it felt a bit like it does when I'm wandering around with Veronica or Katters. Threre's just this sense of friendship and it's all quite good. It's lovely exploring the world with Magus or the Boston D&D, but sometimes it's really really nice to have friends your own age(ish). Part of why I want Veronica to come up here so bad. I miss her. (And yes, it is undying. ;-) )

He abandoned me about two and a half hours of wandering, so I was forced to go sit in the COOP for an hour and a half until it was time for me to go meet up with Dave and Diane. Oh no, the horror! *strikes a very dramatic pose*

(For those who don't know, the COOP is a really nice big bookstore. And pronounced as to rhyme with "soup" as opposed to "co-op", which I think is weird. Also, it had a "Dykes to Watch Out For" book in the GLBT section. Soyeah. I totally spent most of the time reading that and not spending any money. Shockingly enough, no one cared!)

After that, I met up with Dave and Diane, and they took me out to Wagamama (Good asian fuds) and bought me ice cream and pocky! at assorted stores during wandering. So that was very nice indeed.

ALSO! Ohmygod. The Million Year Picnic, which is a really spift comic store not far from Harvard Square has a DOCTOR WHO COMIC BOOK! Like a big hardback book comic anthology. WITH ROSE! augugugugugugugug!

Yeah, I really really really want it. ALSO, I need to check and find out which Sonic Screwdriver [livejournal.com profile] disc_sophist has, because Newbury Comics sells them. <3

Alsoalso, moment of the day number one was when Dave and Diane gave me a ride home and I got to talking to their son who is quite a bit younger then me. He mentioned staying up all night, and I told him what prom was and that he should stay up all night then. So then he said something along the lines of "Well, when I'm the same age as you, you'll come to my house and we'll go to prom together." Ohman, so funny.

Moment of the day number two will come when I toss the contents of my camera onto Seren. Ask Jarne --it involves squirrels. Evil, evil squirrels.

See you lot later

~Sor
MOOP!

P.S: School library suprisingly does not suck. It looks like it does, until you go upstairs into the Juvinile fiction section. They have A FULL DOZEN Margaret Mahy books in there INCLUDING a copy of "The Pirates Mixed Up Voyage" (*raises an eyebrow pointedly at her evil clone*) and all her other books that take place there and WHEE!

So.

Updates:

*I have now seen the first six episodes of the newest Doctor Who. "Oh, fifty-seven academics just punched the air." --comedy GOLD! ((And by 57 academics, he of COURSE means several hundred slashing fangirls))

*Arm is feeling MUCH better. I had dad look at it, and he says it's only bruised. :)

*Going to a big old feast at the Old Mill where I wind up with plates full of the most delicious stuff imaginable (Neva spice cake! Apple-mango tarts! Mmmmm!!) and then waking up and realizing it was all a dream...sucks. Big time.

*I've got a trustpost brewing about mental intimacy and trust and my total lack of it. This may or may not ever come to fruition, but I think it wants to.

*I also need to make a post about body image and fud and some combination of that, inspired by recent posts by [livejournal.com profile] ancientsong and [livejournal.com profile] kittiekattie

*Orientation for becoming a target-bitch today. Yay me. :P

*I need to pack for college orientation, which is Monday and Tuesday of next week. Guess what time I have to wake up in order to be in Boston by whatever time orientation starts! I'll give you a hint --it's something like four in the fucking morning. Rar.

*I need to clean my nest. And my room. Eh, motivation. Whatever.

*I am now going to go read my friends list, and then play guitar hero. Ta!

Hoooookay. So. Anyways.

A long time ago, Harry Potter 4 came out in movie form. I saw it, was thoroughly unimpressed, and determined to ignore it for the rest of time.

A slightly less long time ago, I was introduced to David Tennant. (Get a copy of "Army of Ghosts" playing, and I can get you to the exact moment I was introduced to the Whofandom) This was a totally groovy thing.

Sometime less time ago then that, I correlated the facts that David Tennant was in Harry Potter with the fact that we don't actually own that monstrosity. So I moped, and resolved to watch him sometime when I was given the oppertunity.

Today, my brain FINALLY kicked into gear, and I remembered that YouTube solves all problems.

So. My question is this. Does anyone have the ability to make an icon of Tennant!Crouch with the whole bishie snarl crazy and a caption of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"? Cause man, that shit makes me giggle like a ferret stuck in a pixie stick factory.

So, the moral of this entry? Sweaty dirty crazy Tennant is *such* a good thing. Secondary moral? If the Harry Potter industry continues using Tennant as an actor, maybe it can be saved.

I miss my clone. Damn her and her warm fuzzy dreams! *shakes fist*

On a similar note (related to dreams at least) I have an open letter to my subconcious.

Dear subconcious.

While I appreciate the obvious effort involved in trying to give me a BalticonDream, what the hell was up with all the snow? Also, you do know that the consuite is *connected* to the main building, right? So technically, no one would have to crawl through the snow to get there, and, as the consuite has a roof, there really shouldn't have been snow in it.

Thanks.

Luv, Kat.

P.S: I fully support Magus in spectacular* kilts though. We can have more of that, yep.

*Spectacular meaning sortof a darkish purple and blue hawaiin print utilikilt. If such a thing actually exists, I want it.

BLAH SPELLING MISTAKES!

Seriously, I made like three really stupid mistakes in typing the last paragraph. Sorcy can't spell today. :(

As for other, non dream related shtuff...uhm...I'm out. I need more dreams of guys in kilts. Or more dreams with NakedSwing in them. >> <<

*totally isn't a bad person. Much.*

ANYWAYS!

I have been spending entierly too much time cleaning my room lately, with a good amount of help from Ksatyr. It is a difficult process. I fear it may never be truly done, and currently just exists in the moving shit from point a to point b form of cleaning.

Which will work, until I have to pack. Eek!

(Unrelated note --I wonder how many of my legos I can take with me...)

Katters is a bad influence on me. Oompa, oompa, oompa. :p

Uhm. Soyeah. Tuesday I went to the Holocaust Musuem, which was...well...a museum about the Holocaust. Pretty damn depressing, but worth going to at least once.

On the plus side, me and Becky finished up the day by me forcing her to watch Blues Brothers, and her forcing me to watch a couple of episodes of Stargate (1969 and the 200th episode) which were pretty fun.

Huh. Rosi and Guil have wandered back into my head. Eh, whatever.

Moving right along...yeah, I have no more of a life. I hung out with Veronica a bunch yesterday. We played an obscene amount of Geetar Hero, and watched Robots (since it was on) and Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways, since V had never seen it, and we were in the mood for EcclstonDoctor. Fish and Ksatyr were there as well, which partially inspired that.

Mel made Aly a cake on Wednesday night, because she's *awesome*. It's good cake, too.

I'm hella behind in reading you lot --I'm barely through the thirteenth, with all the zombies. Which, might I add, I am INCREDIBLY pissed I missed it. Grr! Argh!!

Annnnnnnd I'm out. Off to go clean up, like I'm supposed toget sucked in by the flattering words of my clone.

REM Rebound like you wouldn't believe. Four distinct dreamparts and a metadream -woo!

Part the First: I was in a huge used bookstore with mum and some other people. I wandered around looking at everything, and found a glorious collection of Myste Lackey hardbacks, including weird editions of the gryphons trilogy that I had never seen. Mum and I agreed that they would be good for when I went to college and needed my own copies of the books. As I flipped through the strange edition of The Silver Gryphon, I realized that it was not just the whole book, but poems, art, and maps as well. The book cost only 7$, so I convinced mum we should buy it.

Part the Second: A Doctor Dream. (The best kind, by far! Well, best besides curling up next to your girlfriend or fiercly kissing the guy you have the hots for or truly beautiful Canadians posing naked)

Anyway. The Doctor and I were on a specific subway car in the London tube system. We had already discovered the secret evil alien base that the aliens had used to invade through the tubes. (The tube was, incidentally, able to go to the moon or to a roof or something where the aliens had their base.) The subway car driver gave everyone on the car a sort of electrionic tablet and gave us a story prompt, fully expecting us to write. My story was the true story about what all the aliens were doing to us. The Doctor's was something much simpler and sweeter -something Truly Beautiful.

Part the Third: Easily the coolest dream I had, so of course, it's the one I remember the least. I was an outside observer for this one, watching a huge end-battle between a group of about ten teenager kids and a group of weird demon/magi/;evil warrior things (Actually, now that I think about it, they were quite possibly the aliens The Doctor and I had been dealing with) he fight was taking place in a huge cavern filled with weird waterfalls and whatnot, and the demonthings had the ability to control the water, which led to them trapping and killing the kids.

The only specific thing I remember was one girl defeating a demon by casting a spell where she let her instincts take over and shoot out a beam of pure energy at the mage. The kids all did eventually defeat the badguys with no casulties, but it was a close call.

Dream the Meta: I was sitting in a hallway at school near the top of an epicly huge pair of escalators. I was trying DESPERATELY to remember all the details of the previous dream -the setting, the demons, and most importantly, the names of all the kids. I was writing all the names on the wall next to me, certain that this way I would remember them. (All I recall is that I believe the girl who cast the pure energy beam was named Nora. I don't know if that's right or what. She was a cute little thing -pigtailed blonde. Very sweet. Very Lynda-from-Bad Wolf)

Jeremy came along and asked what I was doing, making me simply explain it all and tell him about my dream while he sat down to chill in my lap. We kept chatting until class let out and an extremely bitchy girl who looked like Sharpay from High School Musical scolded us for sitting there.

Part the Fourth: Direct continuation from part the second. It was after the Doctor had left me, leaving me all alone. I was now going to school in London and had to ride the tubes every day. I wandered around the tubes for a while and eventually fell in with this punkish skater-boy lookalike who went to school with me. We were heading back to school, when I realized that I had left my tubepass in my backpack instead of somewhere more accessible. The boy very nicely used one of his passes for me so I wouldn't have to dig mine out, and we wandered out into the station. The tube zoomed by in a rollar coasterish fashion, and up around a bend in the tracks. It then slid backwards to accept teh rest of us, and I realized that we had returned to the car with all the stories. The woman gave us a story prompt which I had trouble paying attention to because the skaterboy was asking what time it was, since he had a class at eight that he didn't want to be late to.

Considering we had only gone out to lunch, I was shocked to realize it was nearly eight, which set me to fretting about what classes I might have missed. I was soon distracted, however, by the driver coming up to me and asking me to sign my name on a sort of waiver thing so she could publish the story I had written last time in one of her collections. I took some of the collections to look at later, then used the computer to find the Doctors story in the online archive and e-mail it to myself. (I was very dissapointed when I checked my e-mail this morning and it wasn't there, because it was a SPECTACULAR story)

The driver wound up taking just me to the now defunct alien base and we started talking. I don't recall what about.

Fin.

Soyeah. Stuff.

Life has been completely non-busy, while feeling reeeeeeeeally full. About the only thing I've done of late is go to Much Ado About Nothing on Saturday, and the ensuing birfday party of bigness.

Oh yeah, and I got sick at Becky's house due to mysterious spontaneous flu on Friday. BUT, before that, we managed to warp her legos into giving us a sembelance of TennantWho/Rose. So that is a Good Thing. Picture is right Here.

Oh! I finished my Mission 101 list. So hey, poll question for you all:

[Poll #922219]

The actual list will be up ANY DAY NOW! I swear. Hokay, so I'm lying. Shh.

See, if I wasn't lazy, I could post it right now. I'm sure you're all desperate to know what random goals I'd like to get done in the next two years and eight months.

Yeah, that's it.

Oh, except for this: Mega-congrats to [livejournal.com profile] twitchingrat for no longer being pre-t. That is so frelling cool!

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm out.

Hokay

So

OtherKat sent me the link to what may have been the BEST MEME EVER!

I am so serious about this.

Basic story was that this chick was bored. So she demanded threads of swoon worthy pictures. Each comment has a name, and a picture, and replys to that comment have other pictures.

And then anyone who reads it, swoons a lot. Happilly. Like I've been doing since yesterday, when Katters linked me to the David Tennant thread.

But yeah. Original entry is right Here.

Some swoonthreads that I pulled for people I especially love:

*Orli-love for Veronica.
*A certain lesbian witch from Buffy for Ksatyr
*A certain blonde vampire from Buffy for mom
*Ewan McGregor for my absative favourite barkeeper
*That stubbornly unravished pirate chick for ShadowKev
*Frodo for Aly
*My second favourite Captain Jack (And MAN is it close) for Elise
*And, of course, My Doctor For me. Me, me, me, me, me, me, ME!

(and why aren't there more pictures of The most beautiful actress in the world?)

Some comment along the way said it best -- "Best use of the 'Track This Comment' feature ever."
