Eevee Thinks About...

2007-02-27T00:02:00.000Z

Just thought I should share this. I think it's one of the best pieces of writing Joss Whedon has ever done, and certainly the most incredible thing Xander has ever said.

'I saw what you did last night. Thought you were all special. Miss Sunnydale, 2003. And the minutes you found out you weren’t, you handed the crown over without a moment’s pause. You gave away your power. They’ll never know how tough it is, Dawnie. To be the one who isn’t chosen; to live so near the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes, cause nobody’s watching me. I saw you last night, I saw you working here today…You’re not special. You’re extraordinary.'

2007-01-25T10:34:00.000Z

Well. I'm posting. But only cause I'm ill and have nothing better to do...

This really sucks. Plenty of times I have wished for illness so I need not face the wrath of various teachers, but now I am actually 'proper poorly' (so says my mum) it is not as fun as I imagined.

The first day (Monday) I wasn't feeling too bad but I decided to stay home anyway. And it was OK. I had a bad headache and general everywhere ache by the end of the day, but I'd managed to stay aware enough to watch a bit of Doctor Who. I shoulda been tipped off though when I cried at Father's Day (the ep in which the Doctor takes Rose back to the day her father died). I haven't cried at that episode since it was first broadcast. Yeah...I was ill alright...

Tuesday sucked. It sucked so much. My head was hurting so much it was making me cry, which in turn made me feel like my eyes were on fire. And I had to beg my dad to go and buy me some cough medicine to stop my diaphragm forcing my spleen out of my body. Through my lungs.

On Wednesday I'd had enough. I was lonely and still feeling like yuck and no one would even frickin hug me because I was 'contagious'. To add to this, I missed out on the first drama rehearsal of the year (which I'd been looking forward to for a long time...OK, a week, but still). Cried quite a bit on MSN cause I missed everyone so badly and talking to them over my dodgy Internet was NOT the same as squeeing all over them in real life.

Whcih brings me to today, Thursday. And I've officially infected my poor mother. I still feel rubbish but quite frankly I am so fed up that the only place I wanna be is at school.

Or y'know, Wales. I hear Wales is OK.

The Signs of Christmas

2006-12-07T21:04:00.000Z

I reckon there are a few tell tale signs that it's well and truly the season to be jolly. Enjoy!

1) Suddenly, for no inexplicable reason, it's dark when I come out of school. And in the morning, on my skippity hoppity walk to school, I can observe the sun rising in a flurry of pink clouds. It's weird, but I like it.

2) The Sun's so low in the sky on the school run that you get blinded at every corner.

3) DFS sale. But then again, when is there *not* a DFS sale?

4) Coca Cola adverts! Holidays are comin', holidays are comin', holidays are comin' (it's always the real thing)...

5) Chocolate EVERYWHERE, and lots of things in fancy boxes.

6) Your friends get giggly and whisper to each other about gifts. And for some reason, everyone's asking you who your favourite Doctor is, and whether Tom Baker's still alive.

7) Countdown begins on the Doctor Who Website...^-^

8) There are little bits of sticky tape all over your floor from wrapping presents which attach themselves to your socks even when you don't tread on them.

9) It's BLURRY COLD.

10) Special feeling of Christmas cheer that makes you love everyone (especially when you suspect they have bought you something TARDIS-related).

Bad Day

2006-12-07T20:10:00.000Z

:( Today has not been at all fantastic. And even that slight DW reference is not pulling me from...well, not misery. I'm more...glum. On the scale of despair, I'm at glum.

The Scale of Despair

--not all that great
--down in the dumps
--low
--glum
--upset
--needing a snug, immediately
--depression
--despair

So, y'know, about half-way to wrist slashing.

I've got a headache, basically, because I haven't been going to bed all that early. And ICT coursework is due for tomorrow - huzzah. A classmate of mine has been getting in my face recently for no reason at all, and today she pushed me into a desk. On top of that, I've hurt my hip quite badly (although I'm not sure how). I think I've pulled a couple of muscles.

But life goes on I spose. And at the weekend...the possibility of Cardiff.

And Now, Smallville!

2006-11-14T22:07:00.000Z

I'm really getting into this reviewing business, and I have a lovely little ramble about Smallville to share with you all. It's about Superman before he was Superman (I hope that wasn't too much of a spoiler).

Huzzah for YouTube! And for, after months of patience, my fringe finally growing to a sensible length! And for eyeliner going on properly instead of becoming a bad smudgy mess!

And for that wonderful, wonderful sammich.

Lovely to hear from you Mr Beaver. Hope you're enjoying uni life, and for the love of sammiches get your arse on MSN sometime soon, because I am actually going crazy by myself because of lack of Joe.

Hope you enjoyed. ^-~

Officially Out of Titles

2006-10-19T21:40:00.000+01:00

I'm feeling rather cheery as I write this because not so long ago I spoke to Joe for the first time in what seems suspisciously like TOO LONG. It is good to know he is alive and well and attending sci-fi and fantasy meetings.

I've had my hair all spiffed up today and it's looking rather nice and layery. I really want to dye it a nice dark brown and I wish my fringe would hurry up and grow out already, but it still looks pretty, considering. God bless hairdressers. ^-^

Oh I wish I had a real reason for posting, but I don't. I'm just so darned happy, and I have no sensible reason for it...

Various Updates

2006-10-17T18:49:00.000+01:00

Oh lazy, lazy Emily...I do apologise readers for the lack of posting yet again. Dear me. Kids today, eh?

Well, my distraught post about losing all my files prompted my dad to find them again, which deserves some sort of celebration. So huzzah! I've had a great deal of fun reading all my crappy fics again. Halo I just couldn't get through...I tried my best but it was 85 frickin pages long, and I just don't have the attention span to read all of that in one go, especially when it's that incredibly bad. I mean, the storyline's alright and yes, I have the general use of English down to a T. But the mischaracterisation...it's enough to make you want to poke your eyes out just so you don't have to read any more...and why oh why did I put Buffy/Giles shipping in it? Why? Oh I was a twisted little individual...so very twisted...

Over the weekend I was shoved in our cramped study because my godparents and their kids came to stay. I love them dearly, but depriving a teenage girl of her bedroom is always a really bad idea, so after those two long days I had a lot of pent up angst, which I released yesterday by going on a wonderful romp around Oakwood with Roy. Truly spiffing. Today I've been to see a nurse who jabbed me with a needle (she said it was to prevent polio, but I think she enjoyed it too much for that to be true) and now my arm is all weird and kind of achey. And I'm cold because I refuse to aggravate the tiny little pinprick by putting on a jumper.

But y'know, all things considered my life is going pretty well. The fact I'm not at school may come into that greatly, but seeing Roy always makes me cheery. Also I've been watching Galaxy Quest. I adore that movie, I really do. Tim Allen AND Sam Rockwell? Hold me please because I may cry. Tim Allen will have my lifelong respect for making a succession of really cheesy comedies and still not repenting, and Sam Rockwell...well, I've seen the original Hitchhiker's Guide and when it comes to Zaphod, I'll take Rockwell over him any day. Fantastic actor, really fantastic. So huzzah again!

Saturday sees me going down to Londinium to view Spamalot, which I'm looking forward to, and tomorrow I'm going out with my lovely mother to watch The Devil Wears Prada. I don't know what much when it comes to that film, but I think it may secretly be about Miss Bolland.

Dealing With Loss

2006-10-01T20:15:00.000+01:00

I discovered something quite disturbing a couple of days ago. We have three main computers in our house: mine, my sister's, and the old family one that Mum now likes to claim. Recently the old one crashed or something and all the files were lost. Dad's recovered Mum's and Jess's files but mine are still floating around somewhere, lost in cyberspace.

The thing is, I'm really quite upset about it. There was a lot of important stuff on that computer that I don't want to lose. For instance, my first ever piece of fanfiction, the only Buffy fanfiction I ever wrote. It was called Halo and it was utter crap. It had the biggest Mary Sue in it for a starter (a perfect character). Halo herself was:

-blonde
-beautiful
-psychic
-a bit of a self-insert (but vastly improved)
-Gile's daughter
-cloned
-dead for a while then brought back to life
-a con artist
-an unofficial Slayer
-friend of Buffy
-girlfriend of Spike

And the list goes on.

But the thing is...I treasure that crap as the first piece of writing I ever sat down and did. I mean it was over 100 pages long. At one point there was a Pokemon crossover. I *need* that.

And speaking of Pokemon, what about the parody Pokemon movie I wrote? I mean, that was gold. It was called 'The Ultimate Challenge', and yes, that title needs to be in italics. It starred Jessie, James, Meowth, a grownup Borg version of Ash, and for some unexplicable reason, Captain Jack Sparrow. I feel that loss dreadfully.

And what about all those great Team Rocket fics I collected and saved during that ghastly period when we didn't have Broadband and I had to pay by the minute when I used the internet (a whole 1p every 60 seconds! Extortionate!)? What about Eyes Through the Soul and it's sequel, Seasons, where Jessie was blinded and everything got horribly confusing and romantic? What about Feathers and Foxtails, where Jessie got a fox tail and James got wings and it got horribly confusing and romantic? What about Sweet Torture where Jessie went crazy on hairspray fumes and...everything got horribly confusing and romantic?

I NEED these files!

*sigh* Dad, this is a plea. Find those files. Please?

2006-10-01T14:29:00.000+01:00

I don't feel well...and am now thinking that the best way to feel better was not by eating a copious amount of humous...

However, I have been having quite a lot of fun with Windows Movie Maker, editing various sexy videos of me and my friends having jammy fun. And no, I do not mean fun with preserves! On the contrary! Fun with *guitars*...and desk bashing...and ACDC...

I am trying to be clever by sticking the YouTubey goodness on this blog, but at the moment it's being all moody with me and won't work. Hmm...

Another thing I have done with my new editing skills is successfully engineered a TARDIS landing. It's basic, and a little on the crappy side, and yes, my TARDIS is ten inches tall and made of shiny cardboard. But with this new knowledge, I can...hmm.......I can.......oh come on...there must be something.....

Aha! I have conquered you YouTube! Behold my video!

Eevee

But sir, I am not a merry man!

Things which have been happening....recently...

2006-09-19T20:17:00.000+01:00

My titles are really not improving with time, are they?

I am still alive and well, contrary to what my lack of posting may imply. I'm just rather lazy. I often have exciting and interesting thoughts which should be blogged, but I never seem to have them when I'm near a pen. Or if I do have a pen, I'm in the only room in merry England that doesn't contain paper.

I have recently discovered that the world really does work on a balance. It's like in that advert...'and so, the clever-dumb balance is restored'. That is what life is actually like, and I have proof.

I went back to school feeling reasonably jolly, like the clever man who has just got a Mint card or whatever that advert is advertising. Then I promptly fell through a window, and managed, through a long and complicated series of events in which my self esteem sunk to new and depressing depths, to lose one of my closest friends.

But then I got her back again. And she has assured me that she loves me still.

Coincidence you say? Only happens the once?

WELL YOU'RE ENTIRELY WRONG!

It is a well known fact that I love Drama (my train of though is Drama = experience = excellent directing = job on Doctor Who), and every year I audition for the school play, be it Greek mythology based or a good old fashioned pantomime. And every year since coming to Ockbrook, I have received a tiny, unnamed part. Like 'Guard'. Or 'Old Lady'. Or, my personal favourite, 'Milkmaid'.

To begin with I was incredibly bitter about this. To me, it felt like I was being ignored, whilst my friends soared to the top of the dramatic chain.

BUT NOT ANY MORE! This time, I have received a very good part, that's actually listed in the main cast list, AND HAS A PROPER NAME! So behold: Jack! The thigh slapping friend of Prince Hugo in Cinderella! *slaps thigh*

I am properly chuffed with this.

But then I fell through another window. Or more accurately, I had to say so long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, adieu to some of my best chums as they disappeared off to uni. Which made me incredibly sad (even though I will probably see them again), and resulted in dear Joseph giving me bewildered hugs in a graveyard whilst I cried into his T-shirt.

So be aware of this balance! If your life is sucking and you are comtemplating self harm: don't! Things will soon look up, and you will be asked to play guitar in a concert with your Chamber Choir, or discover that the darling BBC is releasing an excellent new set of Doctor Who DVDs!

On the other hand, if your life is going pretty well: beware of open windows.

I have been known to get very excited over new and shiny gadgets. Here's a picture of me receiving my Gameboy Color to prove it:

That my friends, is what joy looks like.

Anyway, the reason I put that embarrassing picture up is because that is precisely the face I was pulling yesterday, when I unwrapped my new and oh-so beautiful digital camcorder.

Just let me pause here to say: YES!! YES AND THRICE YES!!!

Since getting this camera I have spent many hours playing with it, filming myself in the mirror, and wondering how the hell I edit the damn recordings.

It's a happy day readers. *sniff* Such a very happy day...

RABBITS ARE SUPREME

The Doctor does indeed dance!

2006-08-29T18:48:00.000+01:00

Ahhh. I'm feeling very relaxed and happy after a delightful day of sorting through my books and watching the Ninth Doctor with the commentary on (cause I'm a GREAT BIG GEEK). Must say though, as much as I'm in awe of dear old Russell T, he'd a bit dull when it comes to commentaries. Give me Steven Moffat and John Barrowman talking about gay clubs for officers during the London Blitz any day.

There is something about the end of The Doctor Dances with Chris and his oh-so out of time finger clicking that never fails to make me grin. And indeed squee. Ah, squeeing. The ultimate fangirl display of our joy, and ultimately, our love.

I'm also rather excited since I'm ordering a shiny new camcorder today, and by 'I', I actually mean my mum's doing it since I don't have a credit card. Whatever. It's shiny and digital and I'm *very* excited. Although, I must confess I'm not sure what I should be filming (minds out of the gutter please). It's all very well and good to dream about wonderfully tacky fan videos in which I'm the Doctor (female stylee), but I know I'll have to plump for jolly recordings of my friends larking about. I'm quite happy to plump for that actually. The last fan type play I wrote...oh God...I'm not going to think about that......

Besides which, what would I do with the damn things? YouTube? Where the stalkers of the world unite to watch teenage girls?

That said. I adore smosh. Anthony...*dreamy eyes*...

If any of you readers have ideas for amusing things for me to film, don't hesitate to comment. As for me, I'm off. Tea to be eaten, Caves of Androzani to be watched and all that. What ho.

Mr Spock?

POTC, holidays, Fat Train Man, Freema Something-or-Other and much much more!

2006-08-17T19:18:00.000+01:00

Well, I've been very lazy recently. There's no excuse for it. I'm just a little slapdash. However, this extended period away from my blog has given me lots to talk about, so here goes.

First, Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I feel duty bound to the Ninja to review it in some way. I didn't hate it. I didn't. In fact I really did like it.

BUT saying that, I do have some thoughts...

*goes off on a big Goldmember quoteathon*...'you gotta have mojo baby...yeah...'

...right, well. The thing about the movie is that it was neither here nor there really. It did everything it possibly could in two and a half hours and didn't really go anywhere. My dear friend Roy, who is very ingenious in her own way, has said that it's just like a cartoon Disney in real life. This is very true. The big rolly wheel thing is a classic example of cartoony slapstick comedy. Ditto the huge wicker balls. And the cannibals.

And yes, there were some moments of high hilarity. Johnny Depp is one of them of course. The jar of dirt sequence is another. And yes, there are lots of quotes that could become my MSN screen name in the foreseeable future. And yes, the acting was by and large wonderful to watch!!

But for goodness' sake!! Why??!!! Why were there SO MANY PLOTLINES???!!!

*sigh* I could ramble about it all day, which I'm sure Roy would be happy to agree with. Basically you need to make up your own minds (I say minds in the plural in the dubious assumption that more than one person reads this). It was a good film, but it in no way was as good as the first one was. The first one I came out of the theatre walking like a drunkard and grinning all over my face. The second one I came of out complaining of a sore arse. You do the math.

Now, holidays. *sings* Where can you see LIONS?? Only in GOZO!

No, I've not gone mad. That was our little holiday riff. It's an in joke. A family in joke.

And yes, Gozo's a real place, contrary to what Tom believes. Me and my parental units and a certain brat spent a happy two weeks there. There's not much I can say about it really, except that I came back with a weird tan on my back, and that I really want a pool. It was a nice holiday. I won't go into superlatives about it (for that, there has to be Doctor Who involved somehow), but I really did enjoy it and I'm glad I went. (Next year, can we go to Cardiff? Please?)

Fat Train Man is the result of another mini-break I've just returned from, a little meet-the-grandparents visit to Devonshire (the place where two girls dressed up as chavs on YouTube is HOT NEWS). As usual we partook in a little gambling and lost many many 2p coins as a result. Those machines are addictive, and I swear each and every one of them somehow defies gravity. So many 2p coins just hanging over the edge--! It was painful. But fun! ^-^ But the whole visit was building up to me and my sister journeying back on the train...*alone*...It was scary bananas. But Fat Train Man made it worthwhile. He may have had a smelly lunch, but I almost cracked up laughing when he started telling little kids about the Bible. ("...Joseph was one of Jesus's disciples...") So thank you, Fat Train Man. Thank you very much.

And Freema. I call her that because although I am not close personal friends with her, I cannot spell, pronounce or even effectively read her second name. Who is she? She's the new companion on Doctor Who of course! (What, you though I could go for a whole post without having a Doctor Who related rant? Foolish beings!) To be honest, I prefer reading interviews with her than watching her, for this simple reason: she is too. Damn. Excited.

OK, so maybe I'd be a little 'omigossssshhhh' if I happened to be in her position. The thing is, I wasted a precious ten minutes of my life watching her interview on The One Show (which by the way is crap), and I didn't learn anything worthwhile. She basically giggled and grinned and fluttered her way through it. The only thing that the interview did was to reassure me that the next person who calls the Doctor 'Doctor Who' will be the first person to be ripped in half, personally, by me. Because his name is THE DOCTOR. The TV SHOW IS CALLED DOCTOR WHO. HIS NAME IS THE DOCTOR!!!! HIS NAME IS THE DOCTOR!!!!

And with that out of my system, I think I'm ready to leave.

Eevee

What d'you mean 'he's the Doctor'? Doctor who?

2006-07-18T12:37:00.000+01:00

I've come to a very important conclusion about summer.

It is far. Too. Hot.

Why can't we have a proper ENGLISH summer, with clouds and rain? Isn't it enough that I'll be sweating like a pig in Gozo in about a week's time? I haven't had a proper night's sleep at all recently. However, I have stopped having creepy Ring nightmares, which I think is a big improvement. Pretty soon I might even be able to sleep without the light on again.

The summer holidays are the world's biggest lie. You come out of school thinking you'll have a really productive time. You'll get in shape a bit. You'll go jogging and swimming. You'll get a tan. You'll meet up with your friends all the time. You'll write a story and a play and get all your coursework done in the first day.

In reality, you'll sit around doing nothing for seven and a half weeks, getting steadily fatter and lazier and bleary eyed from staring at your computer for hours on end, then remember you've got three essays to do and only two days left to do them. And even then you'll wait until the last day of the holiday, then find you have to get up at six o'clock in the morning to finish them.

As for stories and plays, you'll start writing them, then realise you have absolutely no plot and no will to write them. And no original characters. Yes. We'll all steal Edward in the end.

Or is that just me?

Eevee

Oh look what the cat dragged in, The Oncoming Storm...

You're not a eunuch are you?

2006-07-13T19:55:00.000+01:00

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

Blogthings. They're damn addicitive and often quite accurate. And fun. Don't ever forget fun.

I just experience Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. And it was not as good as the first. In fact, I find myself agreeing with the ninja about it really. OK, so it was a good movie with good acting and incredible special effects. But it was so damned complicated! There were so many plotlines, and neither of them seemed to be particularly good. And EVERYONE was a pirate.

Plus, the guy who's supposed to be doing what Commodor Norrington did in the last movie...well, he's not doing it very well. And he has a girlish voice.

I stand by the ninja's opinion that all the cast were women. Except Kiera Knightly (the mannish version of Orlando Bloom).

So, in conclusion, itt's good movie and well worth seeing, but it's really not as good as the first. The first movie had a tight structure and a proper ending. The sequel has neither.

Eevee

But...why is the rum gone?

Little Bit of Everything

2006-07-13T09:45:00.000+01:00

Well I've got lots of little things to talk about.

Doctor Who: What can I say about Doomsday that's not already been said? I cried A LOT, cursed Russell T Davies for being so damn mean and so damn clever A LOT, and swore about Catherine Tate ruining the moment A LOT. It was a fantastic episode and a very worthy farewell to Rose. Note: what the announcer said beforehand made me feel all funny for some reason: 'goodbye to an English Rose'. I just...I just thought it was sad...

Jess's Birthday: Yep, my sis is 13 today, so happy birthday to her. 13 on the 13th. Yay for unlucky omens! Now that she's finally a teenager she actually has an excuse for being a stroppy moody madam.

The Ninja: My gosh I love the ninja. Purely by chance I came across these wonderful podcasts in which a real live ninja answers all those life questions. Well, I think it was by chance. Maybe someone fed me a link. I don't know. All I know is, he's extremely funny, and sounds a heck of a lot like Fozzy Bear. Go and watch him NOW!

Shut up car alarm! I hate those things. Car alarms...dammit, now I've lost my flow. I don't think there was anything else I wanted to rant about.

'Cept maybe Hugh Laurie. He's beautiful. Uh huh. You know it.

Eevee

It had comedic value!!

For Dom

2006-07-03T23:47:00.000+01:00

He won't read it, but I want everyone to know how great he is. Thank you Dom for talking to me and cheering me up. You've made me feel so much better.

Anyway. Let's end with this:

You can’t keep expecting that life will take a quick turn for the better. Sometimes it has to be gradual and you have to adjust and make allowances. She thinks she understands that now and yes, she’s feeling better again. This is a new new Doctor who’s not quite the same but not quite different, and that’s something she’s learned to like.

Work Experience

2006-07-03T21:31:00.000+01:00

And what an experience it was...and I say that with the highest level of sarcasm. I was dumped in the Royal Bank of Scotland for a week, cementing the opinion that Walshie really does have it in for me. But however resentful I may be and however boring I may have found it, I must grudgingly admit that working in a bank would not be that bad...if you could actually do something.

I'm glad to have learnt this.

Doesn't mean I wanna work in one though. Mum did for years and she's so scarred she can't even go in a bank now. Yet another family member who needs therapy.

Found out something today that left me feeling rather hollow and numb. It's not painful in a way I can express because it really shouldn't hurt...so I'm not letting it touch me at the moment. I'll wait it out and see what happens. It shouldn't hurt...it shouldn't...

Woke up this morning with this line in my head:

'So you hid. You lied. You even lied to him.'

Should've know it was a bad omen.

Twiddle Boing

2006-06-24T23:32:00.000+01:00

I'm well on with that title. Oh yes. The prize shall soon be mine.

Canon is confusing isn't it? Especially Doctor Who canon because quite frankly it was an underbudgeted show where people didn't have time to check continuity. Therefore a Doctor who forty years ago was 700 is now 900, even though previously he's been 950 or something stupid like that.

And according to some book or other which I think is called Lungbarrow (although I may be wrong), it says the Time Lords are sterile and are all made on weird genetic looms.

Codswallop.

Susan anybody?

Anyway, I've confused myself now. Huzzah.

Two weeks of Doctor Who left...then I have to wait until Christmas again...*groan*...

Big shout out (oh the cliche) to Mr Beaver and Danni, who made for a very enjoyable day which passed in a haze of laughter, confusion, harmonicas and back pain. And a guy staring at me because I skipped up to and gazed adoringly at a book.

Peace out.

2006-06-06T18:34:00.000+01:00

OK, crappy title I know. Meh.

Exams are quite literally upon me once again. Maths...don't even talk to me about maths...it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

German oral was OK apart from when she asked me what I was doing next weekend (nothing, like usual) and I answered in the PAST TENSE. *slaps head with noodle*

But History...History was interesting...on the one hand I have repetitive strain all up my arm and my neck doesn't move as it should anymore, but in a weird way, the actual exam was almost enjoyable. We have the most to learn for History (try the whole textbook) but I forget every year that you only really use parts of it. You pick and choose. So you can learn about the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations and know diddly-squat about Cuba and Vietnam, and chances are you'll be OK.

Question: Gustav Stresemann--part of the Weimar Republic or not?

Tomorrow is ICT and English...English Lit I think...could be wrong...whatever it is, English'll be OK, but ICT...I should probably go and revise ICT. Hmm. Yes, I'll do that.

But I leave you with this pocture of Paul McGann, just because he's beautiful. *huge grin* Lobe you Doctor number 8...time...time...time...

Isn't he pretty? Look at his girlish hair...*strokes*...lickle ringlets...hang on...that's a little bit like Heather's hair! Oh dear oh dear...still...*strokes*...;)

Speaking of him actually, I've been listening to an Internet audio adventure thingy with Flash animations...it's called Shada...8th Doctor, Romana II, K-9...fantastic, just fantastic. And written by Douglas Adams!! Check it OUT!

One lump or two?
Two. And some sugar, please.

Beautiful Poem!

2006-06-05T21:58:00.000+01:00

I found a BEAUTIFUL poem the other day whilst 'skiing the Net'. It's called the Teak Forest by Laurence Hope, and it is very, very good and rather sad in places. It's far too long to post all of it here, but this was my favourite bit:

For this is Wisdom; to love, to live,
To take what Fate, or the Gods, may give,
To ask no question, to make no prayer,
To kiss the lips and caress the hair,
Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow,--
To have,--to hold,--and,--in time,--let go!

How awesome is that? Perfect, just perfect. Really made my day that did.

On another note: GAHH! German oral tomorrow and I had NO IDEA!! *zooms off to learn presentation*

A Little Note From Eevee...

2006-06-03T22:45:00.000+01:00

Just so you know, that previous post really WAS written by Eeyore, my daddy's sad grey donkey. He dictated it to me and I typed. Isn't he a clever thing? (and not in the least bit cooler than me)

Eevee

WE AM DE BEST!

Eeyore Thinks About...

2006-06-03T22:43:00.000+01:00

Hello. This is Eeyore. It's very difficult to type with hooves, but I'm so cool, I just had to put an entry on this blog to make it just a little bit cool.

Love Eeyore (Daddy's sad grey donkey)

PS. I like thistles.

I've been getting down with my creative bad self and have made a website. It's all Doctor Who-y so it's for GEEKS ONLY. :D I'm trying to gather all the facts (and myths) about the Doctor's past, his schooling, Gallifrey, his name...so, go there, look, laugh, contribute...whatever you want.

Here is the link: BOOM!HEDGEHOG!

On another note, HELLO MR BEAVER.

That will be all.

Eevee

I thought they'd all be happy slapping hoodies. Happy slapping hoodies with ASBOs. Happy slapping hoodies with ASBOs and ringtones...yeah? Yeah? Oh yeah. Don't tell me I don't fit in.

My Gameboy!

2006-06-01T23:17:00.000+01:00

Oh joy! Oh love and joy and happiness! After over a year without my precious games, I am so happy to announce that my Gameboy is back!!

Turns out it wasn't left in Poland after all, but merely shoved into my wardrobe. Consequently I have powered up the old purple brick and made with the Pokemon fun.

You know what? When I found it, I actually cried with happiness. It was like being 10 years old again and having it for the first time.

Thank you, guardian angel! I owe ya one!

Eevee

We'll be the new stars of this cartoon!

Rant Rant Rant

2006-05-31T10:27:00.000+01:00

Oh dear goodness. Just read back my last post...please, sane people, ignore it. Please. I'm sure I was drunk in some way...oh dear oh dear...yes, I am an untamed geek running wild and free throughout the world. Send the men in white coats.

Geeky sidenote: watched some programme about how Star Trek changed the world which was really quite interesting. Did you know things like mobile phones and personal computers were pushed into existence by Trekkies driven to make everything on the show come true? Still waiting for my transporter though. And I must admit to sitting there fuming a little thinking 'Doctor Who came first'. Then again, no one's created a real functioning sonic screwdriver, so I contained myself.

So. Applause for Star Trek. Long may ye reign.

And who else adored Voyager? MAN I love that holographic Doctor...hang on...anyone else seeing a theme here...hmmm...

Eevee

Make it so

Paul McGann rocketh my socketh...s...

2006-05-30T22:47:00.000+01:00

Since nobody reads this blasted thing, I might as well rant about things wot I like. And at the moment it has to be Doctor Who: The Movie.

In my opinion this litle chunk of Americanised Who has received a severe chunk of unfair press. It's honestly not that bad! I promise!

But that's just my opinion of course. So here, let me outline some pros and cons, and you can make up your own mind (YOU being a fictional person since, as mentioned before, no one actually reads this).

CONS

--Barely a minute in I suspect some fans were already rolling their eyes or wondering if there was some sort of horrible mistake. Here's why. The Master is supposedly put on trial for all his evil crimes and general naughtiness. Fine, right, good, we can deal with that. But WHY IN RASSILON'S NAME WAS HE PUT ON TRIAL....on SKARO???

There are many things wrong with this. Firstly, if you accept that Skaro is being happily inhabited by lots of little Daleks at that point in history, why would they put anyone on trial? This is the DALEKS we're talking about! They're more likely to a) recruit and use the Master as an evil accomplice or b) blast him to heck and back without asking any stupid questions or putting him in that fancy shmancy contraption to 'execute' him.

Besides that, the Dalek voice is just wrong, wrong, wrong, and even the director admits that they didn't have time to get the proper voice, so he just recorded himself and played with it a bit. Which is why the poor pepperpots sound like they've been sucking helium. *tuts and rolls eyes*

--This whole film suffers from Mentionitis. Or, over compensating on the continuity front. The Doctor loudly and frequently proclaims he is a Time Lord...yeah OK, fine, but we know, and you've already said. Repeatedly. Plus this just doesn't happen in the series. Where's the mystery I ask you? Where?? This Mentionitis is also probably why we have the Daleks wedged uncomfortably into it along with Skaro, Gallifrey, the Eye of Harmony, the sonic screwdriver, the yo-yo, the jellybabies, the 900 year diary, the TARDIS key, the seal of the High Council of Gallifrey (look for it around the TARDIS)...I could go on.

I wouldn't really be complaining if it was just a few of these things. And in fact I adored the detail with the seal of the High Council...but why was it in the Doctor's TARDIS, a renegade, an exile and generally a nose-thumber when it comes to the authority of the Time Lords? Why was the main Eye of Harmony plot complicated enough to give you a nose bleed? Three watches later and I still don't understand it properly. And for goodness sake, put the jelly babies away!

However.

It has still brought me joy.

For these reasons:

PROS (what does pro even mean anyway? What is it short for?)

--The budget--hurrah! Finally, a polished Doctor Who story, and not a wobbly set in sight! No bubble wrap, no cling film, no bug eyed monsters...just beautiful sets, very convincing effects and some lovely face pulling by Sylvestor McCoy. Yes, we could all moan about how Doctor Who sold it's soul to Fox and how the BBC should have kept it in the family...but I honestly believe that this was what Doctor Who desperately needed. It proved to audiences and to broadcasters that if you spend money on a show with such a brilliant concept, it can work miracles. This movie paved the way for the 'new series', the lovely Chris Eccleston, the insanely driven Russell T Davies...it gave Doctor Who a nip and tuck, and for the most part, it did it WELL.

--And the eccentric Britishness was definitely, and defiantly still present.

--Paul McGann! Eric Roberts! Daphne Ashbrook! Yee Jee Tso! Sylvestor McCoy! Every time I see those names whooshing along to the beefed up, funked up theme tune I give a little cheer. This is a cast I am willing to defend all the way. Don't come crying to me because the Master wasn't British! No matter what you say, I will not give in to your petty cries, because dammit, I like Eric Roberts! I honestly do!

This truly was a very talented cast. Paul McGann was absolutely perfect as the Doctor, and I think he rivals Peter Davison in instant likeability. He spends the first part of his time on screen a little confused and bedraggled, but throughout the whole thing he is crying out for sympathy and laughs...basically, he gets us to like the 8th Doctor, and for me, it worked. The glimpse of Sylvestor McCoy was brilliant, and is the reason why the Curse of Fenric will be winging it's way towards me very soon. Daphne Ashbrook may not be up there in my lists with Billie Piper, but she's not far off. She out-doctors the Doctor on occasion, and she just seems real somehow. Yes, Grace was a good companion. And Yee Jee Tso...there's an actor that really surprised me! I liked him a lot...and for some weird reason that I really can't explain, his exclamation of 'Doctor!' after waking up at the end just makes me giggle. I don't know why. It just does.

--And last but not least, the happiness factor. There was humour:

'Yes, that's right, I am a Time Lord--' 'I thought you were a Doctor!' 'I thought YOU were a Doctor!!'

'He likes it when I call him Doctor'

'These shoes! They fit perfectly!'

and so much more. Giggles abound!

The romantic subplot which so many have slated was to me, perfectly natural. I think this is probably because I've been plunged into Doctor Who with 9 and Rose...and come on...tell me there's nothing there...I dare you...Now, as I watch old Who, I find myself looking for those little smiles, the unnecessary physical contact, and the fierce denial of anything non-platonic. The kisses shared in the movie were chaste and really quite sweet, even if the fireworks were a leetle cheesy. But I liked it. It made the shipper in me go 'squeee!'.

And it was blurry exciting! Even if there are some parts of the plot I'm still fuzzy about, I can honestly not think of a part where I was bored, even for a second.

So that's it I suppose. If you've read all of that I highly commend you, and I encourage you: buy the movie. It's worth every penny. Paul McGann, the lovely 8th Doctor, may not have made our dream come true forever...but he can make it come true today...^-~

Eevee

'Thank you, Doctor.'
'Oh no! Thank you, doctor!'

All Revision and no Angel make Eevee go crazee...

2006-05-30T13:59:00.000+01:00

GAAH! Somebody send for a straight jacket for those blasted plumbers! Not only did I just come up the stairs to find half a sink and a plumber's arse in my doorway, but I've just had to endure them singing along to some tragic 80s song...revision is driving me nuts. Mainly because I'm finding it very hard to do any with the constant drilling and the stomping and the booming plumber laughter...

Besides that, I really want to watch Angel as a nice little break from looking at the chat boards on Bitesize, but I know that as soon as I touch the DVD to the computer, my mother will burst in and demand to know why I'm not working.

SHUT UP WITH THE DRILLING ALREADY!!!

On the plus side, I can now wander around my house without a hefty coat on because the heating it back! Hurrah!

At least, I would be able to wander around my house...but everywhere I look there are plumbers...*twitch*...

The Human Race is Doomed

2006-05-22T21:03:00.000+01:00

A new look blog for Eevee, and a new post for...Mr Beaver! Hello to YOU if you read it.

I have something special for you today. Read on my friends, for even more reasons why the human race is DOOMED...

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Damn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (right...because that's the most logical place to have that instruction...)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me time? who values skin these days anyway?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those darn 5-year-olds with head-colds off forklift trucks.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only."(as opposed to...what?)

On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

It's insanity folks. But then again, you already new that.

Eevee

I'm a mouth on legs!

My Face

2006-02-21T21:48:00.000Z

Ugh. I promised never to do one of these blogthings again but this one was surprisingly accurate. Except the whole 'love' part. Because no one loves me...(sniff)...no Valentines for Eevee...

What Your Face Says

At first glance, people see you as warm and well-balanced.
Overall, your true self is reserved and logical.
With friends, you seem dramatic, lively, and quick to react.
In love, you seem gentle and sensitive.
In stressful situation, you seem like you're oblivious to the stress.

Eevee

Not bad, but look at the ears!

Creativity!

2006-02-19T20:21:00.000Z

I've always been described as 'creative' or 'imaginative'. Usually in a worried, nervous tone.

But I ignore that and take it as a compliment. And here, for you, my avid readers, is a sample of my extraordinary creativity!

With a litle magic, this pony becomes...Marx, the father of Communism!

This was a gift to MY FWEND MADS, and is really yet another example of how much free time I have on my hands.

Christmas and New Year

2006-01-07T23:41:00.000Z

Well, this is just to wish a (late) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to anyone who may be reading. Hope ya had fun!

For me, the highlights of this year are:

1) All the generous gifts I got from my friends and family...I guess you really find out who cares about you at this time of year, and I feel really honoured.

2) My remote controlled Dalek, Hilary!!! I lobe Hilary, especially when me and him to the very special *sexy twisty Dalek dance* together...

3) Playing Charades with my family. I don't get much quality 'family time' because most of the time we don't realy get along, and it was nice to watch each other being stupid...especially dad's horse impression...ride it, Dad...

4) New Year at Simon and Lou's! I always love going round to theirs and this was no exception...from doing my amazing quiz (yes, I'm conceited) to dancing the Time Warp. I was a bit miffed though when Lou stole my champagne...it was also lovely to see Francesca since she's mad as a bee and really good fun.

Doctor Who has to get a mention because it was fantastic, but I really enjoyed it because it was a one hour period when me and my family could watch something together. I think everyone'll agree that that barely happens nowadays. So yay for family viewing, and for the gorgeously wonderful David Tennant...long may he rule the TARDIS...and for goodness' sake ma wee man, do the Scottish accent! I cannae believe you gave awae your sexy voice...

Best luck next year...roll on 2006!

Eevee

--In the end, we are all who we are, no matter how much we appear to have changed.

Crawdie's Corner

2005-12-23T11:50:00.000Z

Well, some of you may be aware of my imaginary friend Crawdie. He's a Totodile, yes, but he has high ambitions. And recently he's developed his own blog. He asks you all to visit.

www.crawdiescorner.blogspot.com

Do be aware he's rather cynical and has world domination issues...

The Dino

2005-12-17T22:40:00.000Z

Today I was inspired by this cartoon of Bob the dinosaur, from Dilbert.

And suddenly...

Rarrh! My name is Eevee the Dino and I have a special job.

I deliver wedgies to the deserving!

There are many people I feel are due some wedgies.

1) Ash and Misty. They're wet, girly, feeble...and they probably both wear girls pants. *yank*
2) George Bush for starting wars. And let's throw in Tony Blair for being a pathetic lap dog. *yank*
3) My headmistress for building a ginormous car park on our school grouds for no apparent reason. *yank* Although, that said, she probably doesn't wear pants.
4) And Maddi. She deserves a wedgy in a GOOD way...I LOBE you Mads...*extra special yank*

So people, the question is: who should Eevee the Dino deliver to next?

Eevee

Is it Love?

2005-12-13T22:53:00.000Z

Ash and Pikachu. A boy and his best friend.

'Best friend.'

And so begins one of Eevee's wild, insane theories about Pokemon.

The thing about these two is the evident strength of their relationship. Let's just look at one example, OK? The first Pokemon movie. Ash does something really stupid and Pikachu cries it's little eyes out, whilst Misty and Brock, supposedly Ash's friends, do diddly squit. Eevee analysis: Pikachu is head over heels for Ash and losing him would break it's fat yellow heart.

Second example. In one episode Ash and Pikachu are hanging out with people of their own mental ability: preschoolers. Ash is heard to ask one of them :'Would you like to touch Pikachu's cheeks? They're really soft!'

Why does Ash know this?

Simple. They've been snuggling up together on one of those oh-so-cold Pokemon nights.

They are not just friends! You are friends with your pet! You do not frequently blow people up, yell at things and generally put your life in danger for a pet!

There are many possible couples in the world of Pokemon, but this beautiful relationship between a doofus and his fat yellow rat is one of the most plausible.

That, my demented friends, is love.

Eevee

Picture Time

2005-12-12T22:12:00.000Z

I drew a pretty picture. Guess who! (big hint: the clue is in the WHO)

Wow, it actually looks pretty good! Not my best drawing...just a sketch...but I'm happy with it! Hope you like it.

Some Funny Quotes

2005-12-01T23:10:00.000Z

Well, I'm taking time of from my analysis of Pokemon to bring you some funny Doctor Who quotes. These are from various Doctors, don't ask me which cos I don't know. Enjoy!

The Doctor: What's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it?

Jamie: Have you thought up some clever plan, Doctor?
The Doctor: Yes Jamie, I believe I have.
Jamie: What are you going to do?
The Doctor: Bung a rock at it.

Russell: You're bonkers.
The Doctor: That's debatable.

Countess Scarlioni: Oh, Doctor, I'm quite convinced you're perfectly mad.
The Doctor: Only at my worst. Nobody's perfect.

The Doctor: You're a beautiful woman, probably.

The Doctor: You always did lack style.
The Master: Style is hardly the prime characteristic of your new regeneration.

The Master: I am The Master and you will obey me!

The Doctor: I am the Doctor, whether you like it or not.

Brigadier: Oh, dear. Women. Not really my field.
The Doctor: Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon.

Jamie: I think your Doctor's worse than mine

The Doctor: Duggan, why is it that every time I start to talk to someone, you knock them unconscious?

The Doctor: Terran insects. Aerodynamically impossible for them to fly, but they do it. I'm rather fond of bumblebees.

D84: Please do not throw hands at me.

The Doctor: [on the TARDIS] As an invasion weapon, you'd have to agree that it's about as offensive as a chicken vol-au-vent.

Duggan: You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.
Romana: If you made an omelette, I'd expect to find a pile of broken crockery, a cooker in flames, and an unconscious chef.

The Doctor: I don't believe you've met my young friend Ace, an expert in calorification, incineration, carbonization, and inflammation.

The Doctor: Well, now I know you're mad. I just wanted to make sure.

The Doctor: "Eureka" is Greek for "this bath is too hot."

The Doctor: ...One more thing. Your name.
Romana: What about my name?
The Doctor: It's too long. By the time I've called out, "Look out..." What's your name?
Romana: [slowly] Romanadvoratrelundar.
The Doctor: By the time I've called that out, you could be dead. I'll call you "Romana".
Romana: I don't like "Romana".
The Doctor: It's either "Romana" or "Fred".
Romana: All right, call me "Fred".
The Doctor: Good. Come on, Romana

Amelia Rumford: I still don't understand about hyperspace.
The Doctor: Well, who does?
Voice of K9: I do.
The Doctor: Oh shut up, K9!

Group-Captain Gilmore: Nothing even remotely human could have survived that.
The Seventh Doctor: That's exactly the point Group-Captain. It's not even remotely human!

Hope that made you laugh

The 'heroes' of Pokemon

2005-12-01T22:58:00.000Z

Here's where Team Rocket fans tend to insult people, particularly AAMR lovers. (Ash and Misty romance)

Anyway, I'm moving on now to the Pokemon show. Let's look at the heroes.

Well, we're supposed to think of Ash, the very stupid ten year old boy, as our hero for the show. He is the main character, he's full of dumb luck and you know that in the end, everything will turn out right for him or he'll learn an important, moral filled lesson.

But the thing, is I don't *like* Ash.

So we move on to Misty, his 'girlfriend' who isn't really. The most obvious relationship in the show I guess, but also the funniest because they both like to deny it. She's feisty. She's also slowly having the energy sucked out of her by an evil, egg like thing called Togepi.

This is true.

And Brock, the squinty-eyed and incredibly horny male who wants to be a 'Pokemon breeder'...but in all fairness, he's nice and relatively intelligent compared to most characters. There was a brief, scary period when he was replaced by Tracey, or Chubby Chub Chub Chub as I enjoy calling him, but Tracey decided to stay behind with the love of his life, Professor Oak.

But enough of my character profiles! The point is, Pokemon is a really hero centred cartoon. Good always triumphs over 'evil' (and I use this term loosely because as we will see, Team Rocket are not). And in all the time some Christians spent complaining about the apparently violent nature of the show, they didn't realise the Pope had given it his blessing.

It's moralistic. It has to be. But it also teaches kids important things, like treating people and animals with respect.

Of course, an older fan like me (whose mind lives in the gutter) will often see to other aspects of the show that don't quite add up...

Till next time

Pokemon Fanfiction sites: some good ones to try

2005-12-01T18:48:00.000Z

Well, I don't have much time at the moment, so this won't be the analysis of the show. I'll save that for when I have more time, which will be very soon, I promise.

And yes, I left my Gameboy in Poland. It was the most tragic experience of my life. I still mourn for it.

Hi there Squid! Thanks for your comment. Lol, not many people understand my love of Pokemon either. As for Pokemon fanfiction, there are a few good places. If you're looking for Team Rocket stuff, try Team Rocket Palace. I think it's closed down now, but you can still access the archives and there's some rally good stuff. For general fanfiction, try Fanfiction Net! Or rather, go there and get frustrated at the really poor quality of most of the fanfiction there. But there are a few good writers, so fish around. Again, if you like Team Rocket, I'd try BansheeGirl or Tear22. You can even check out my stuff if you like. My name's eeveekitty85.

The Pokemon Tower is definitely a good place to go. It's a really well constructed site and they have some amazing stuff there. I've just stumbled upon a place called Pokemon Village. I'm not sure how good the fanfiction is, but the site looks really professional, so check it out!

And as for our mystery commenter....I will keep going....later! ^-~

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!

2005-11-28T19:56:00.000Z

See, this is often the thing about me that makes people run away screaming.

I'm not put off by this. If I happen to like something directed at ten year old boys, so be it.

It is, ahem, Pokemon.

Many, many years ago now, Pokemon hit our Gameboys and our hearts and became one of the most popular games of all time, second only to things like Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. It's one of the most entertaining things ever to come out of Japan, and has a literally huge fanbase.

But I think anyone who knows anything about Pokemon will know it is much more complex.

In this post, I focus on: THE GAMES.

The aim of these is simple: catch...'em...all. But doing this is often not as easy. You need to gain knowledge of the game, the Pokemon types, and basically how to win battles, all of which take time. Or, in my case, how to get out of your 'mom's' house. Which I finally did. After an hour.

But I digress.

A lot of the games is down to tactics. Which trainers not to pick a fight with, which types will beat others and which Pokemon are really worth having.

It's difficult, amusing, and sometimes very sickeningly heart-warming, but it's a great game. And anyone who says 'Pokemon is crap' on the basis of the TV show is a half-wit. The Pokemon games are well crafted and often never completed, but they will amuse you for hours whilst you strive to do so.

So if you get your hands on some form of Gameboy this Christmas, try out a Pokemon game, be it the old Blue cartridge or the super-dee-dooper new Leaf Green. I promise you it's worth it.

And as a matter of interest, I reccomend the Silver cartridge. I would be playing it right now...if I hadn't left my Gameboy in a Novotel in Poland....

Next time...the cartoon...why it's so moral, why it's often lacking in continuity or good plots and how many hidden meanings there are.

Till next time

2005-11-23T19:52:00.000Z

This is a post for MY DAD.

MY DAD is a nerd. And he spots trains from his windows. He has a special spreadsheet to work out how far he swims. He likes ranting, grumping, sulking and shouting. And embarrassing me. He does all of these things VERY WELL.

He also likes computers, so he works with them every day. He helps people to decide they want to buy software from him. I think he's a consultant of some form. His boss leaves banana skins in his car and killed my best friend's lizard.

And my dad works for a German company. I learn German. In theory.

Dad says the most important thing you can learn to say in any language is 'Please can I have a receipt?'.

My dad also doesn't understand me because I'm a teenager, so it's really his job not to. He does this very well too.

And this quote is for him.

DALEKS DO NOT SING!!!

How can you tell?

2005-11-22T21:12:00.000Z

Doctor 10 and Rose...still friends? Maybe. We'll wait and see.

How can you tell who your real friends are?

It's a puzzling question, isn't it? It's one I've been thinking about lately.

I think a real friend is someone you can be genuine with and trust them to do the same. Too often I have to pretend with people, and I'm fine with that some of the time, but it's emotionally tiring. To have to smile all the time and pretend I'm something I'm not is irritating.

I know I get a bit obssesive over certain things but that's who I am, and if Doctor Who or Buffy or even Pokemon makes me happy, so be it. And fine, I spend a lot of my time on the PC or on the Net...who doesn't? So what if I'm a geek? Or, if you think I'm a geek. If being a geek means I'm smart and know stuff about computers, or like sci-fi, then I'm one of millions.

Welcome to the compuer age, my friends.

So I'm going to keep quoting my favourite shows, because they're funny.

And I'm going to keep learning about my favourite actors and actresses, because they're talented.

And yeah, I'll obsess. But everyone does. I just choose to obsess over different things to you.

Happy? You bet I am.

Oh come on, we all have them, don't we? I know you do.

Well here are mine.

1) Do a PHD. This is so I can go up to someone and go "Hello, I'm the Doctor." Then they go, "The Doctor?" and I go, "Hello!". I have an obssesion and it keeps me happy, so no one can complain.

2) Learn to play a Darkness hit. I am on the way to doing this. I have the tab for 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' and I WILL learn to play it! I know I can do it....I may lose an arm in the process but there we go. That's life.

3) Direct a stage version of Little Shop of Horrors. Man, that film is GREAT.

4) Meet a Doctor! ^-^ Doctor Who that is. Or Russell T Davies, or Billie Piper.

5) Publish some form of novel.

I think that's enough to be working towards.

And I wanna pass all my exams and stuff, but who cares about that?

And now, I leave you with some of the very first words of Doctor Number 10!!

"HAIR! I'm not bald! Oooh, BIG hair! Sideburns! I've got sideburns!"

"I have got...a mole. I can feel it....between my shoulder blades...it's a mole....that's alright! Love the mole!"

"And we never stopped did we? All across the Universe, running, running, running, d'you remember that time we had to hop? D'you remember? Hopping for our lives! Yeah? All that hopping? Remember hopping for your life? Yeah? Hop? No?"

"Can you change back?"
"Do you want me to?"
"Yeah."
"Oh."
"Can you?"
"No."

"D'you wanna leave?"
"D'you want me to?"
"NO! But...your choice..."

Gosh, you should've seen his face when he thought about her leaving. What would he do without her?

And then he has to ruin it by going crazy. Honestly.

David is a dork but I love him! He's so pretty...

Babysitting

2005-11-17T16:28:00.000Z

People describe babysitting as being 'money for old rope'.

They obviously haven't babysat Charlie and Eddie.

He's an adorable five year old, don't get me wrong. And Eddie is always asleep (until he gets woken up by the phone, screams until I hang up, then when he shuts up the phone rings AGAIN).

But I'm a litle nervous about babysitting him tonight and again next week because last time, he told me quite firmly he was going to marry me...

...then announced we would be playing kissing games.

Kissing games are disgusting in general.

Charlie is five.

Save me, save me...

Then again...I am being paid. £7 for watching someone else's TV...

Well, I can live with that I guess. For now. But if he announces kissing games again, I'll just give him my phone to distract him and RUN LIKE HELL.

And now, a random picture.

Steve Martin and Bill Murray. A dentist and his patient. A sadist and his masochist.

It's a little like yin and yang really.

Five words or less

2005-11-16T17:32:00.000Z

Well, again I sit here to impress upon you how much spare time I have and how little of a social life.

I found myself looking at a document called 'Doctor Who Fanfics-Five Words Or Less!' which is truly fantasticly funny. Amongst thse were 'I'm a mouth on legs', 'You speak treason!' 'Fluently!', 'Well, fortunately, we're in England' and 'Careful, careful...I might explode!'

However, my personal favourite was 'Anybody remotely interesting is mad.'

This is completely and utterly true.

On another note, did you know the space between your two front teeth is called a diastema? And apparently Charlotte's dentist told her the little pits in your molars are called 'fish', but I don't think I can quite believe that. Then again, as Charlotte pointed out, he is a specialist in teeth.

And now, I leave you with a completely random quote to brighten your day.

'I think animal testing is a terrible idea. They get all nervous and give the wrong answers.'

Thank you, Stephen Fry.

Well well, this is a surprise

Oh my giddy aunt. What is this? What IS this?

Eevee? (OK, Emily) Blog? Mmuh?

Yeah, OK, unexpected really because a) I'm lazy and b) I'm lazy. Oh, and c) I mainly have nothing to say.

But something in me decided a blog would be a PRETTY NEAT IDEA.

I'm in the process of killing that something, but I don't know whether I can. So I'll just write stuff and hope it goes away.

And no, I don't expect anyone to read it, understand it, like it etc etc etc......

In short, I have started a blog. This is it.

So what is Eevee thinking about now?

Well, mainly this picture.

Who is this man? Why does he have such a spectacular beard? This puzzles and intrigues me. I have no clues to this man's identity, so I made one up. Would you like to hear his story children? OK then.

This man is called Jimmy McSporran. He's an outcast, spurned by his Scottish pals because they're jealous of his magnificent facial hair. Even when little Jimmy was a wee lad, he had a small goatee, and now has lost complete control of his hair. Jimmy disappeared mysteriously last year, and no one has seen him since. He was last heard to remark 'She's a cruel mistress the sea. I lost my wife out there...and my dog...'

Police are puzzled by this statement and are 'looking into it'.

Personally, I think he was swallowed by a whale, then the whale got eaten by a golden eagle. A GOLDEN EAGLE!!!

And now I sign off, with a jaunty rendition of my **SEXY DALEK TWISTY DANCE**, and a carefree flip of my hat. Sayonara.
