Oh - also I wrote some fic. Which I'm actually pretty pleased with :)

Title: Losing It
Fandom: Sea of Souls, Craig/Wade
Rating: PG, for some strong language.
Disclaimer: I love them, but I don't own them.
Notes: Probably some blatant disregard for hospital procedure, and visiting hours. Um - character death?
Feedback: Much appreciated.
Wordcount: 2,984 (personal best!)
Summary: Wade dies in the hospital, not at the castle. Craig is with him. Because sometimes canon isn't good enough. And because jekesta insisted.


( Losing It )



Cross-posted to slashysouls.

It's really awfully cold lately.

I just spent about 15 minutes writing about a box. Then another 20 writing about a wooden spoon, which ended with me calling myself a philistine for never eating out anywhere but at Pizza Hut. Both were suprisingly intriguing. Hmm.

Also, ( Possible TMI, I suppose )

I'll take this opportunity to mention it's the last episode of Sea of Souls Series 3 tomorrow night. And will feature Paul McGann, aka Eighth Doctor, as a charmingly sinister sorceror/businessman/some such.

And Series 3 is still not as good as Series 2. Especially not 205/6. ::Sigh::

( Life On Mars, episode 5 )

Also, lakester is great! I love her (him?)! ( S/he sent me a Rebus 'Dead Souls' DVD )


I have the Fanfiction book by Sheenagh Pugh. I have The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave. I have a new Constantine novel. I have preordered Green Wing. I do not have my Draco and the Malfoys CD yet. Sadface fullstop. And I do not have the Mighty Boosh boxset, which having seen last night's episode I so totally regret. An example:

(Spider and Rudi. They are mexicans in a band together. Rudi is a psychadelic priest, Spider a 'beast' who just wants to do sex with ladies and has eight penises. They are in a Mexican town for no reason, and Rudi wants them to fight the Betamax Bandit)

SPIDER: You are always like this! Always want to stick around! It is like Glastonbury, eh? You remember? We should have just gone, when the others went, but no you were all 'lets stick around, let's wait', and then we got roped into cleaning up! Me, you and Carlos from Santana. Hoovering. For six weeks! We could have gone when the Who went. Didn't see [somebody from the Who] wearing an apron!
RUDI: Well, you know, what goes around comes around.
SPIDER: What you mean by that?
RUDI: I mean, what goes around comes around. Maybe someday [someone from the Who] will be doing the hoovering.
SPIDER: [Someone from the Who] hoovers for no man.

And later, when they beat the Betamax bandit:

SPIDER: (to Betamax Bandit) And now I'm gonna rewind you...like the bitch you are.


I love this show!

I feel like I have been away FOREVER. This is a complete lie, because it has in fact been a mere 2 days. And 120 entries on my flist. Because I chose not to make the massive (20 minute!) walk to campus to check my email on Wednesday, having no other purpose out of the house, or in general lately. I should really be doing reading for upcoming modules, but I'm at that horrible point when you really don't want to get into new stuff, and probably should have already started. Hmph.

Anyway. To recap:

Monday:

( I write too much. TV-talk )

Tuesday:

( Tuesday talk )

Wednesday:

TOTALLY WENT TO A NICK CAVE CONCERT. ( Probably quite a bit of talk about that )

And jekesta sent me DVDs! ::loves on her:: And a Christmas card, of BEAUTY. It was like a second Christmas, only with more black. I watched the (Sea of Souls) episode from series two that I never watched, due to my nephew being born, and was delighted at Craig climbing mountains adorably in a plastic windjacket. And he had sexual chemistry with a girl! He totally did! And I didn't even care, because they'd done a paranormal investigation and climbed some hills together, so that's okay. And she was cool, and had a fiance to get back to anyway. But it was so great! Beautifully, beautifully great! They can totally do sex secretly for a while until Wade steals his heart. Yes ::love::

Thursday:

Came home.( Some randomness, and talk of toilets )

So yes. Am home now, until Sunday evening. Laptop fully attached to the internet, of which I take great advantage. I have downloaded the Divinyls' I Touch Myself, which is simply THE MOST GLORIOUS SONG EVER (for the moment). It goes with every pairing. A person made a new Craig/Wade songvid at slashysouls! If I knew how to songvid, I would totally songvid Craig/Wade to this song. Does Craig touch himself a lot? It would be THE BEST SONGVID ever if he did. Probably I should stop talking about songvids if I don't know how to make them. BUT IT WOULD BE THE BEST SONGVID EVER.

::abuses the internet:: :)

::dances you all::

Visit from parents did not happen due to Jack being ill - not seriously, but enough that they want to stick around and help Katie out. Hence I am back spending my free time on the internet as usual. Going to a comedy thing later with flatmates and some of J's friends, and given that it is Sunday I'm not sure what to do between now and then. Aside from Burger King, yo.

Watched Sea of Souls ep three last night. ( Thoughts )

And, because everyone else is doing it:

( Ten ways you know you're reading a Girlofprey story )

I just realised I can probably buy Adrian Mole books at WH Smith, and still have a £15 gift card left over from Christmas. Duh! ::smacks self:: I also have a sudden striking desire to start watching Life on Mars. And slash John Simm (Raskolnikov! Eee!) and the blond-haired one, in gritty Seventies fashion. Probably I will.

Sea of Souls is on tonight. ::Reminds people:: ::non-annoyingly::

Lemony Snicket 13 is out on October 13th.

Wehaveanewpersonatslashysoulscraigandwadeficeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

First post of 2006. Omg.

I have been mostly not doing my Gothic essay. Am now three days over my 'deadline', and heading past the end of my wordcount, as usual. I'm even at the interesting bit, where I talk about homosexuality and how they're all actually gay, and still the words do not flow. Especially not when I need a critic's name suddenly and have to OMG, get up and go find it. But it's still coming along quite nicely, and possibly I'm just cutting and pasting critics' opinion in delightful patterns, but I'm still quite pleased with it. I think I have proved beyond all shadow of a doubt that Dracula and Harker and Mina and Lucy all have their own random gender inconsistencies, and should run away and live together by the sea. I might have left out the part about the house by the sea. But I think it's implied.

Gone With the Wind is on downstairs. I watched a bit while eating lunch. Now I want to make a film with random wide angle montage sequences, and melodramatic expositional text (SHERMAN!). I watched the bit with Scarlett and Melanie killing the Yankee as well. It's nice that, despite all the Oppression and everything, if you watch old films or read old literature, you can still often find great, strong, fun female characters, even if they do go a bit odd and shaded at the edges. Yes :) Also it occured to me that Craig/Wade is a bit like Scarlett/Rhett, really.

(in the castle/cave)
CRAIG: (worried eyes) But...where will I go? What will I do?
WADE: Frankly my dear...(laboured breath)...I don't give a damn ::dies::

Except with Scottish accents instead of Deep South ones, of course.

Still blatantly in the Squee aftermath of Jekesta Knowing My Fandom (there should be a Sea of Souls/House of Leaves crossover! Craig in the House!). It is perhaps wrong that a mere two hours of television in which one of my OTP dies should give me such intense and apparently immortal joy. And yet I don't care :D

Spoilerific information about Sea of Souls Series Three episodes is here. Apparently they're doing six one-hour adventures now instead of three two-parters. That's BBC 1, 9:00 pm, January 7th. And ( Spoilers )

Wheee, my parents came down yesterday. We did not do very much that was glorious, just went round the town and for coffee and pizza and such. But they bought me a necklace and a book and some halloween chocolate from Marks and Spencer's. I feel like one of those bored, intellectual princesses you see in films. Yay. And we went to see Wallace and Grommit/The Curse of the Wererabbit. I like Grommit. I preferred the one with the sheep and evil robot. Yes. Got home very late, read until even later, and then completely STOLE an hour from time, so I got to to stay up even later! Oh yes ::skillz::

Parents also brought new family drama. Those easily upset/who just plain don't care, look away now. ( Drama! )

I have random spots all over one of my hands. Possibly I will go see the doctor. Hmmm.

Ooh, I watched QI. Stephen so blatantly wants to go to Belgium with Alan to see the carrot museum. And to Canada to see the lakes. Verycoldskinnydipping!fic? Perhaps. Although Alan woul probably mostly hang back and be all 'yeah. wow.', and enjoy the parts in the hotel room most of all. Yes.

A new person has turned up on slashysouls! Our numbers grow every day! And if jekesta would at least watch the DVD I so kindly lent her, she could have an opinion on it all. But apparently not!

Reading more Lemony Snicket. I like Lemony Snicket. It confuses the hell out of me :)

Wanadoo still being complete wankers - apparently it's in the terms and conditions that we can't cancel the contract just because the wirelessness doesn't work. W. t. f?

( And some more Night Watch talk )
