Right.

Hello. I have not been posting for awhile. Or, to be more accurate, for 5/7 days. I still haunted your comments boxes though, hah! I've been sort of re-evaluating the way I use and think of Livejournal, which I think was previously 'too much'. This SAYS NOTHING about what I think of other people using Livejournal, but I do occasionally get a bit wound up about it all. So I might be attempting to be around less in future, though I don't at all want to give it up. Or any of you.

I think I somehow managed to convince myself that once I had money for DVDs and books, a job to keep me busy during the day (possibly workable with a more interesting job) and constant internet access when I was at home, fandom would be ALL I EVER NEEDED, and it has turned out to not so much be the case. Or at least not the form of fandom where I live in a constant bubble in my head. So. I'm planning to put a bit more energy into picking a job that will make me happy, and getting on with being independent and living my life. And stuff.

I have wanted to make posts though. The problem with LJ is that it doesn't pick up on the fleeting, half-formed thoughts in your head and create posts from them immediately. That's a definite design flaw.

I have been watching:

• Garth Merenghi's Darkplace. I love Lucien Sanchez. He did a song. I think it takes a certain kind of mood to really enjoy the show, but I thought it was pretty good. And Sanch danced to his headphones! Love.



• Robin Hood. I love Guy of Gisbourne. Except sometimes when he's stabbing things. Though he did look pretty fine with a broadsword. Yeah, baby. I love that Will has an axe. And the Pillow Talk bit KILLED ME DEAD. Omg. Sheriff/Robin might become my new 'I don't really like either of them' OTP. Is there a New Robin Hood comm anywhere about?



• My Rex the Runt boxset from eBay. Yay.



• An episode of Boston Legal. I love Alan Shore. He wins all the cases and smiles sometimes. I'm not really that taken with Legal Drama as a whole, and Denny annoyed me a bit, at least in this episode. But I would like to see more of that Alan Shore fellow. Yes.

Also, my friend in this town emailed me, inviting me to a Halloween film session on Saturday, and I arranged going down to see that play with my Nottingham housemates, so I have a few more social outings to look forward to in the weeks to come, which is nice.

And: the Old Gregg/Nathan Barley over at little_bit_raw. Omg.

I IN NO WAY AT ALL intend to leave Livejournal. In the slightest. I just - think I tend to dwell on it too much, and expect it to make me perfectly happy when clearly it is not. So, other things are clearly required. The job was only ever meant to be a temporary thing, which dad kept talking me into because 'it was the best option when I had no other ideas'. Up to a point it's what kept me going through the first four months. So moving on was always sort of on the cards.

I LOVE YOU. I won't leave. I just need to - do other things for a bit, I think.

That's essentially the plan, but TIME IS A FACTOR sadly. SORRY FOR GROWING UP. Ish.

From this day you are a Priority Reference. Though fake. I could come do some housework for cash, to legitimise it a bit?

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of something in film, or theatre. Or publishing. You know, something really USEFUL TO HUMANITY. Possibly I am missing my calling as a hired killer though. I did do Clay Pigeon shooting and archery for a while at uni...

Mostly; a DEGREE?!? What degree? Tell me precisely how creative I am OH WISE AND JUDGEFUL ONE!!

At the end of your university stint you will, I'm assuming, have a Masters? Thusly I will probably be crawling around on the floor after one still while you swan into the position of your choice. E voila!

Ah, I remember that Wednesday night. I didn't think you'd noticed ;)

Aaand this is why I should talk less. I would like to hear more about the adventures of Cecilia the Pirate Stage Manager, though. The economical Pirate Stage Manager. Theatres need money too!

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

Though as a pirate, you could probably just fund it with booty.

Good luck with the life thing. Fandom is so very pretty and shiny, but yeah, not enough in itself. It'd be like eating nothing but icecream - icecream is frabjous, but you couldn't get by on it alone without feeling sick.

I LOVE Darkplace. My favourite thing is the way how in the credits, they dive out of the way of the ambulance just before it actually explodes, lmfao.

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

I think it would be fine if I had a job where I was happier and interested, or even people around to go out with and do stuff, but as it is, yeah, it's what I think about at work and what I do when I come home. So, other things needed, I think. Thank you :)

I LOVE the credits bit! Plastic baby-run-dive-EXPLODE! :D I like the bit where Garth has never exploded - Dean doesn't know if anyone he knows has exploded - but he certainly made that exploding scene touching and memorable. Hee!

robinhoodbbc is the new Robin Hood comm. ^^

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

Eee, thank you! :D

[katemonkey.livejournal.com]

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanch!

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

I LOVE HIM. He wore a leather jacket. He sang a song. He danced to his walkman. I LOVE HIM!

[grapefruitzzz.livejournal.com]

Yay Rex the Runt!

And Dean Learner, for he is cool.

Robin Hood was the slashiest thing evah yesterday, but I think they're doing it on purpose.

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

They did kind of mention the slash, so they probably are, but I can still enjoy it :)

I love Rex the Runt. Did you see the Dean Learner spin-off on Friday night?

[grapefruitzzz.livejournal.com]

Knowing slash can be good - it made for the 'true gay love' episode of 'Teachers', which is one of my favourite episodes of anything ever.

I saw the last five minutes of 'Dean Learner' and it was pretty good. The paintings were really funny.

Lj is tricky, and it is difficult to keep things in the right order and stuff yes. Moving to Nottingham is a great plan and will help and yes. ::dances you with LOVE::

Boston Legal is okay. I was not entirely prepared for how it is Ally McBeal entirely and not just vaguely. But Alan Shore is quite good, and him and Denny Crane are quite sweet at falling in love. Good.

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

LJ is both a place to record your thoughts, and to craft witty, incisive mini-essays that inspire strangers, and reach out to your friends. This can get a bit complicated at times. I like my plan to move to Nottingham. It is, like, a plan.

I did quite bored in the middle of the episode when people who weren't Alan Shore were on, and yes, it was like a less focused Ally McBeal. But Alan smiled and won a case for a little black girl who wanted to play Annie, and the main 'handsome' sane attorney was all 'Alan thinks I talk too fast, Alan doesn't respect me, Alan thinks I'm a Ken Doll', and eeee! I found it yay :)
