Soooooooooooooooo, can't fall asleep... again. I swear I'm on UK time already, so I was browsing the internets, like I do when insomnia hits and what do I find...



NEIL GAIMAN IS WRITING FOR DOCTOR WHO
IN 2011!!!!

News type article thingy here
Now, I haven't read much of his stuff, but a lot of my friends love his work, and I trust their opinions (and quite often share them) and I have thus concluded that this news is utter awesome! Who else thinks so?
Now, if only they can convince Stephen Fry to actually finish a script I'll be over the moon.

In other news:
- RTD makes me want to throw things sometimes T_______T

- 17 days to go til I leave for the UK. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~~ I'm both nervous and excited.
Nervous at leaving behind everything that I've known for 26 years, of leaving my family and friends, of truly having to fend for myself for the first time ever (it feels like I'm moving out of home even through it's only 6 months) and doing all of this in a foreign country, plus the money issue, saving isn't looking to good right now. But I am excited for the experience, freedom and fun that I hope to have. I am so thankful that I am sharing this experience with my friends, the whole thing doesn't seem as scary with them coming with me.
Love you all darlings <3 *smoochs*

- So much cosplay work to do T_T I haven't even started the physical sewing of my jacket for Gallifrey. The pattern is more a less done, but I want to sew a rough mock up first before I cut into the pleather and I'm running out of time. -_-
It's going to be a close one with this con I can tell.

- Have I mentioned I love Fanfiction laterly??? ^_^
Read my first couple of Life on Mars fics last night (or is that 2 nights ago now) and I want to read more and more and more.
Shouts out go to remuslives23 because I still maintain that I do a little happy dance every time I check my flist and there's a new fic from you on there, no matter what you say, I'll always do my little dance. I hope I can meet you one day because heck... when I'm in Australia, your only an 1 hour on a plane away. *hugs*

Well, wasn't that nice and random. Off I go to attempt the thing called sleep.
Good night (or should it be good morning now *headlaptop*) FML

END OF TIME ICONS WOOOO~!
This ain't the only icon post of mine for End of Time, oh no, I haven't even started XD this is just the beginning, because I've still got one of the best scenes EVER to icon yet (The bondage chair of epic slash)
So yeah.... spoilers and stuff.

( I wonder what I'd be, without you )

So.... went to DWCA (Doctor Who Club of Australia) Tavern night yesterday, had lots of fun geeking out over EoT with everyone, playing Doctor Pictionary on the table cloth and all the usual hilarity... something I'm going to really miss while in the UK.

However I was talking to littlebatti and she shared with me a rather interesting link to the word "Geronimo" the word that of course, Eleven says right at the end of "The End of Time Part 2"

Here's the little story: Lieutenant Colonel Byron Paige of the 11th Airborne Division wrote one of the classic WWII paratrooper songs, Down From Heaven to celebrate the relationship of paratroopers to the Geronimo cry. (The number eleven comes from the number of paratroopers in a plane.)

Down from Heaven comes ELEVEN
and there's HELL to pay below
shout "GERONIMO" "GERONIMO".

Hit the silk and check your canopy
and take a look around
The air is full of troopers
set for battle on the ground

Till we join the stick of ANGELS
killed on Leyte and Luzon
shout "GERONIMO" "GERONIMO".

It's a gory road to glory
but we're ready here we go
shout "GERONIMO" "GERONIMO

Is Steven trying to say something about what Eleven will be like, or is this pure coincidence.
You be the judge.
Either way.... interesting.

So..... The End of Time Part 2 hey???



( Initial reactions under spoilery cut )

Merry Christmas everyone, may it be great and epic and stuff.

Annual Christmas post.... very late this year, posting this at 3.17AM Christmas morning, I should really be asleep, otherwise Santa will see me reading Slash xD

I've just been so busy this last week with various stuff, friend from Brisbane coming to visit, Cosplay photoshot, Christmas shopping, recording the Christmas ep of 'The Wailing Fangirl' podcast, and everything else thrown in... that I've left this years post very very late, and have made pretty much no content for it -_-
No icons, not fanart, just a photo of my little Christmas tradition of dressing up my Dalek in Christmasey gear and taking photos of him.


Bob and Ten share a Christmas gift of candy!!!

But yes... my other Christmas tradition... which is never on Christmas, but on Boxing Day (due to the time difference between Australia and the UK) is setting my alarm for 7am, running to my computer and downloading Doctor Who, then going back to sleep til about midday, waking up to it finished and then locking myself in my room for the next 2 hours with a 'Do No Disturb' sign on my door.

So...... THE END OF TIME IN NEARLY 24 HOURS!!!!!! Colour me excited, and rather looking forward to Kinky!Hoodie!Master and his laser beams *fapfapfapfap* and of course, some Doctor/Master Time!Love/Sex. Bring on the Slash! It's canon now... thank you RTD.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! *faps*

Merry Christmas guys!
Laters!

Oh yes he does! He always has!
But this new hoodie!master is some how even more freakin awesome. You could say I'm super duper excited for the 'End of Time' yet also a little freaked at the same time, since I still haven't really forgiven RTD for Torchwood COE completely, so I'm very worried about what he's done in End of Time.

Needless to say, he's walking on thin ice. One one wrong move...

But...
Found this on my facebook, and I'll just say, RTD.... I think I might forgive you, almost, just for making this comment:

"It's personal for The Doctor. The Master is his enemy, his opposite, and yet so tantalisingly close to being his soul mate."

HELL YES!!! RTD SHIPS DOCTOR/MASTER XD IT'S CANON NOW! NOW ON WITH THE TIEM SMEX!!!

( Full article and other fangirl-ness under cut )

- Leave me a comment saying "Love the running!"
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

My questions are from my future podcast co-host, nix_101

#1 - What do you love about living in aussie land? I'm sure most people will expect me to say the weather.... the weather is nice, sometimes, but I hate summer. Forgive me if I don't like nearly 6 months of temperatures ranging from 30-45 degrees. That aside, I do love the beach, the bush, a lot of the cute and furry animals and the laid back people. But sadly, there's alot of things I don't like about this country, hence why I'm fine about living in the UK for 6 months. Maybe I might answer this question once I've been to the UK, because right now, I've never been overseas... and it's usually when you've been to another country when to appreciate the country you live in more. I think I'll miss Chicken Salt on chips through, I've heard the UK don't have it... and seriously it's like one of the most awesome things ever!

#2 - Do you like Tim Tams? Yes, but I don't love them. I'll eat them if they are offered, but I rarely buy them anymore. I think this just comes from the fact that I kind of used to eat them ALL. THE. TIME. in large quantities when I was a teenager.

#3 - How did you get into podcasting? Warning.... long reply.
I think it came about from going to Supanova (a con over here in Australia) but once I started cosplaying and such (from 2006 onwards) I started to miss seeing the panels and things I wanted to, so I would download and listen to the podcast recordings of these panels later, then I started listening to the podcast that the people who recorded these panels put out (Cool Shite on the Tube), where I heard them talk about a Doctor Who podcast called Doctor Who Podshock whom did this thing where they would do live shows over the net reviewing Doctor Who episodes as they went out. I listened to the series 3 shows, then decided that the next one they did... I would join in. So I went on the 2007 Christmas Special review show, got a taste of it, then discovered CIA, another podcast recorded on the same day a little later on the same site, where they were talking about series 2 of Torchwood as it was being broadcast, so I joined in. Became a regular on CIA, made friends with the other regulars, kept going on Podshock when they did the series 4 review shows, and eventually got so into it I throught (after having audio issues during the live show reviewing 'The Stolen Earth') of starting to record my own reviews and stuff with the software I had due to being a cosplayer. (Mixcraft - which I got to record my skits) That turned into The Wailing Fangirl Podcast my own podcast I started by myself, but eventually got my friend Katherine to co-host with me.
Still go on Podshock, now go on The Cultdom Collective (with all the same people from CIA, once that finished) and do my own podcast whenever I can, recently it's been weekly. Lots of fun, especially going on Cultdom at 'silly-a-clock' (ranges from 5am-7am for me) and recording The Wailing Fangirl (a name suggested/or at least spurred on by The Tin Dog Podcast) And I hope to continue it all on a while to come.

#4 - What are your plans for when you vist the UK? Lots! xD A visit to Cardiff is most certainly on the cards. Possibly stalking the filming crews of Doctor Who (and maybe Torchwood if rumors I hear are true about filming starting in February) Other than that, lots of running around Cardiff, taking photos, and being generally nerdy, oh and having a cosplay photo shoot there as well. Hope to visit there more than once, but we'll see. Meeting up with heaps of peoples from podcasting and livejournal land. Visit some family as well, especially my cousin if she's still living there. Go to Blackpool and run around being really really stupid. Stop by Manchester to visit my podcasting buddy daveac in Hyde (yes he lives in Hyde! ^_^) attend heaps of conventions, go to lots of book signings, watch series 5 of Doctor Who on telly! and lots more I haven't throught about yet. I'll be getting a job, so stuff will have to work around that, but I also want to travel to New York while I'm there, France maybe as well as hopefully (maybe) Florida, to visit my other podcasting buddy Ian, and thank him for giving me the change to talk to GDL over the phone in person. I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now.

#5 - What time would you visit in history, if given the chance? I'm really not sure... all I can think of right now is to visit the UK in the 1970's, see if it was as awesome as my dad says it was... at least I know the music was awesome! Also while I was there, I'd go to the BBC and steal/make copies of all the 60's Doctor Who before they are destroyed/taped over. Surely the universe wouldn't implode if I did just that.


IN OTHER NEWS!!!

WATERS OF MARS WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to Episode 15 A and B of The Wailing Fangirl Podcast to here my throughts

*taken from thecatinthetree

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out. (:

( ummm... i like disco )

So, due to the fact that I'm going to Gallifrey 21 in LA next year, with my three friends whom together we form the high council of our Doctor Who fan/cosplay group "The Gallifreyan Time Love Brigade" I throught it would be niffy if I made us armbands/badges to wear at the con itself.

So I've been designing logos for the group, and this is one I came up with last night based on a vector I did of some Gallifreyan Writing

So, I'm asking opinions. Like? Dislike? Any other suggestions of what I can do?

In other news my pleather finally arrived from America!

( YAY PLEATHER OF SMEX )

I can finally start making my Donna JE coat for Gallifrey 21 as well.
Oh and guess who's been announced yesterday as a guest for the con?
Louise Page, costume designer from Doctor Who series 2-4, and she's going to be a judge at the cosplay comp that I'm entering in a costume she designed. I'm both excited and nervous at the same time, especially with the crack!skit we have planned so far.

Also, in other random news, I went for another job interview on Thursday, for Sheridan... they sells towels, sheets and other such bollocks, but it's looking promising and hopefully I'll hear from them on Monday. *crosses toes*
FRACK! I need a job!
But on my way to the interview I found this and loled. x-posted on ihazastopwatch

And that's it.... frack I'm bored. Saving money is boring :(

I made Icons! Lots of icons. I surprise myself sometimes. xD

I just talked to Gareth David-Llyod.
I am so full of squee! ^_^

My friend is attending the Hurricane Who convention in Orlando Florida right now, and I'm also on live on the Cultdom Collective podcast, and he managed to hand his phone to Gareth and let me talk to him for about 20 seconds. I LOVE YOU IAN!!!!!!
Listen to Episode 14 of the Cultdom Collective here (once we finish recording of course) to hear me squee. Amasingly I think I was rather collected, somewhat xD

Look who arrived in the mail today ^_^



Myfanwy has a Tardis... and Dark Chocolate
I need to stop spending money, like now T_T but she didn't cost much luckily through

In other news.... I looooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee my new camera
My dad has pretty much given me his old Digital SLR Nikon D70 that he brought himself for work a few years ago and has since been given a newer better camera from his work so he doesn't need this one anymore.
So now it's 'mine' xD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Taking it to the UK with me, so I'll be able to take epic decent photos of Cardiff, cosplay stuff and everything else while I'm over there. *does happy dance*

Went on a cosplay photo shoot recently with some friends to try it out, and it was awesome.
Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour is an awesome place for a photo shoot for most series.
I'd love to have a Doctor Who/Torchwood shoot on the island, because there's lots of old buildings and warehouses, tunnels and piles of rubble.

( Photos cut for size )

Having trouble sleeping... as usual, when a funny throught hit me ^_^
Lying awake, thinking about nerdy things, mainly me going to Gallifrey 21 next year in LA and after a night of watching Christian Cook on Demons (ok show... I mainly watch for the eye candy and to laugh at Philip Glenister going from bad American accent into Guv talk) I gave up on the attempt to sleep for a while, so I went on to my laptop opened up ebay with a plan.

I'm going to buy myself a UNIT cap. I have a thing for them... it's rather weird.
Weirdly, it's only the red ones, I like the older ones (especially on Benton ^^) but the red ones just. do. it. for me... somehow, and yes call me kinky xD

So I found this which made me laugh, and then I found this and then I lost it XD

Both don't cost that much which is good, because I need to save money, and while I'll just be wearing it for fun at Gallifrey, I throught of my in process Ianto cosplay and giggled to myself. Oh yes, I will be taking UNIT Ianto photos at some point xD

And with that last throught, off I go to try to sleep again.
Nighty nite.

Icons made for round 10 over at tvfilm20 it's finally Doctor Who tiem again!
Been a while since I've iconed Doctor Who xD, funnily I found myself still making Torchwood icons during making this set (from the Stolen Earth/Journey's End so it's still Doctor Who technically) I couldn't help myself.

I made another 50 icons at the same time, I found it hard picking icons to fit the themes and such, so expect those next post

Tiny post... just want to get these out there.
Made for round 9 over at tvfilm20 but didn't end up in the final 20.
So here are the rest... there will still be largish post coming with wallpapers and ranting, but I can't be bothered at present, next time

Icons made for round 9 over at tvfilm20 I got Torchwood this time.
I decided to restrict myself to only series 3, so it was a little changelling, but I think at the same time, it was easier this way. Even made a few icons that didn't even make it in the final 20... partly because I wanted to keep this batch major spoiler free... expect those next post.

Working on my next claim in round 9, this time I got Torchwood. ^_______^
I thinking of centering it on COE, cause I got so many pretty pictures, but I might change my mind.

But expect a COE centric graphic heavy and rant filled post coming soon
