Were I to believe in reincarnation, I would almost be positive that in one of my previous lives I was a horse. I have felt such a strong connection with these animals it's actually kind of ridiculous. I suppose every preteen girl goes through a horse phase, but this was something profound and wonderful in my pre-scifi life.

Number one is for huskyfriends, who requested Doctor/Guardian of Forever & Jack Harkness/William Riker.

Number two is for knitchick1979, who asked for something with Two & McCoy.

As if you didn't have to wade through any more of these.

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any character(s) and situation of their choosing. Try to keep it to Doctor Who and Star Trek, unless you know me and know what else I can write. I'm warning you, though, it will probably be horrendous. No naughtiness, please.

1. huskyfriends - Doctor/Guardian of Forever & Jack Harkness/William Riker (here)
2. knitchick1979 - Two & McCoy (also here)
3. slytherinquoll - Five/Turlough
4. booksavvy - Four & Donna

Believe it or not, this name sort of came on a whim. I had thought in the past that if I were to get a LiveJournal account, I would go by my regular screename - WibSkelDS9.

But as it turns out, I knew that would be too complicated for people to remember. So I went instead with my favorite breakfast food.

Sorry, not interesting enough for you? Ah well.

FINALS.

ARE.

OVER.

NO MORE UNTIL COLLEGE.

SCORE!!!!!!!!!1!one!!!11!1!!!eleventy!!!1

Now I have absolutely NOTHING to worry about and I can enjoy the 4 day weekend. Yay.



On a side note, for some reason the character Hexxus from FernGully is becoming ridiculously awesome in my sight.

Seriously, what more could you want out of a character? Voiced by Tim Curry, catchy song (that I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO), infinitely excellent diabolical-ness...the list goes on! Plus, as I watch clips on YouTube, I'm totally blown away by how well he's animated. His movements and design are so perfect IT BLOWS MY MIND.

But maybe that's just me.

And maybe it's time for the guys in the white padded truck to take me away.

Ah well.



Also, I slipped and fell on my icy steps bringing in a 50-lb box of logs yesterday. MY KNEE HURTS. But luckily The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson always has the power to cheer me up. It's great there's at least one talk show host whose quality isn't affected by the late night battle.

But maybe I watch too much TV. That's entirely possible. :P

Aaaaaaaaand that about does it for my weekly update. Have a good weekend, all!

SPOILEEERRRRZZZ. And a good deal of ranting.

Title: Treatises on Several Periods of Time in the Life of Sherlock Holmes
Author: Me
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~550
Spoilers: Nothing to worry about if you've seen the movie.
Disclaimer: All characters and plot mentioned herein are not creations of mine. I just borrow them for my own sick purposes.
Summary: Many things can happen even in the smallest amount of time.



13 seconds
Watson is calling his name. Ordinarily, this brings nothing but joy to him, but then he sees Watson's hand outstretched and his face contorted with alarm and horror.

The next second, his heart thuds to a dead stop when an explosion lifts Watson off his feet. In that terrible second, he knows that the good doctor is dead, and his world begins to crumble around him.

The consecutive explosions do nothing but further disallow his belief that he is dreaming. He imagines it's Watson he's running to save, not Irene. She had only been caught by the force and not the inferno of the blast, he knows that already. Still his feet move forward, his arms grab a wooden tray to provide rudimentary shielding. They still don't know what his heart refuses to believe.

He reaches Irene, crouching out of instinct to shield them both from further harm. She grabs his hand, and they run in the direction that he has come from, only to be forced backward by the final explosion of light, heat, and force. It is at that point that he loses consciousness, and he is glad for the darkness that takes away that infernal second that Watson died in playing over and over in his head.

1 minute
The cold London air is almost refreshing on his face. A quick turn of his head, and he can see Irene has vanished. His heart has resumed a normal pace, at least for now. Logical reasoning begins to push its way back into the forefront of his mind, but there is nothing to deduce. He refuses to blame Watson for setting off the trap.

Watson.

Arms are lifting him back onto his feet, and Constable Clark's face swims into view as his back presses into a wall. He's reaching out, almost blindly, trying to get a firm grip on reality. Clark has to repeat himself before he understands.

"...a warrant for your arrest. Don't worry, Dr. Watson is alive. Go now, go!"

Suddenly, it's as though the explosions never happened. His legs are moving, and although his thoughts are still shrouded by fog, his heart is light.

Watson is alive.

And he knows exactly where the nearest hospital is.

4 minutes
His disguise is hastily improvised, but Watson's room is thankfully empty upon his arrival. It is a rare occasion indeed when Sherlock Holmes overreacts, but he is willing to forgive himself. This is Watson, after all.

This is one of many times he wishes he had the patience for a medical degree. When Watson is not around to do...well, things that Watson does, he feels a bit useless. He is knowledgeable enough, though, to identify the peroxide and begin to swab it ever so gently over the shrapnel wounds. Watson stirs in his fitful sleep, murmurs something that sounds like his name, then drifts off again. He feels his eyes mist, but holds them at bay so as not to unsettle the makeup.

Watson's fiancé - even the two words together is very off-putting for him - enters, and he slips seamlessly into character. She's known him long enough to recognize him though, and she does. He makes an excuse, and swiftly exits. He has work to do.

For me, it was a mix of exploding, rotflol-ing and crying my eyes out.

SPOILERS HEREIN. BEWARE.

Even as an atheist, I adore the Christmas season. Sure, maybe I'm not too crazy about the Jesus thing, but all the traditions are just so fun growing up with, I can't give them up.

This has been a wonderful Christmas, especially since it will be my last official Christmas living with my family at home. Next year I'll be taking a train to visit my family for the holidays.

The first wonderful news came Christmas Eve as I was preparing for being an candle lighter at the evening services (a tradition at our church). I got a letter from my top college choice saying that I WAS ACCEPTED. Hoorah! One less thing to worry about over the holidays.

Today especially played out wonderful. Santa finally released the vortex manipulator that he'd been holding hostage from me. I had asked for a John Barrowman CD and the Lost Symbol, and got them I did! Near the end, I opened a England travel book from Dad and learned that I definitely would be going to London this summer, job or no job! I nearly pounced on him.

And the cruncher, the early graduation present, the one I have to share with the sibling until May, is the laptop that I am currently typing on.

This has truly been my year. Thanks to everyone who has helped make it possible.

Merry Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice/Whatever to all, and to all a good night!

This is just a tribute...

Sorry, I'll stop now. XD

But in all seriousness, I'd like to give a huge shout-out to ren_geek for the awesome virtual gift. He's a fantastic guy and a great friend. Go hug him!

Well, Tony Lee does, anyway. That's right. Mr. Tony Lee loves my Seal of Rassilon. My life is complete.

So Chicago TARDIS was pretty much AMAZING. Words do not describe how amazing it was. I made lots of new friends and had a great time hanging out with the guests.

Some infinitely excellent things about these events -

~My Second Doctor costume won a prize in the Masquerade show! It was a Workmanship Award for Best Use of Found Materials. YAY.
~I met the creators of Torchwood Babiez. AWESOME. One of them took a video of me playing the Kazoo of Rassilon. Hope that's up somewhere...
~Nicholas Briggs bringing pictures of his infant son and then pretending to strangle himself with tissue paper. (You had to be there. :P )
~Rob Shearman is still an awesome guy. He's got a new book and he did some reading from it. I NEED TO BUY IT NOW.
~I bought two Big Finish audios. THEY ROCK.
~PAUL MCGANN. Nuff said.
~Naoko Mori was lovely! I asked her a question in Japanese and she loved it!
~Late-night Giordano's. <3
~Lobby-Con, which consisted of hanging out in the lobby and listening to Rob Shearman's awesome stories.
~Carole's endless supply of jelly babies. Yum.
~The Liars Panel. Did you hear that in the next Batman movie, Billie Piper is playing Catwoman?

...and other stuff like that. I love my life.

My dearest Doctor,

There's a part of me that truly wishes you could live forever. That you would never be sad or lonely; that you could always be the wonderfully happy person you are. But now I know that's not possible. Nothing is eternal. You taught me that.

But what matters is the time we are given, no matter how long or short it may feel. Good times may not always last forever, but memories sure do.

I'll miss you, for sure, but every time I think of you, I'll remember the great adventured we shared. And I guess in that way, you really will live forever.

Your loving friend,
Liz

For those of you who don't know, I am a huge fan of the late Carl Sagan.

I was surfing YouTube when I found this little gem.




Also, I got braces today. They feel weird.

The Doctor. Duh.

Here's why.

No matter the incarnation, there are always likable qualities about him. True, I might prefer a few over the others, but no matter what happens he is always the same person.

And I love him.

I love him.

So I went to a Doctor Who cosplay photoshoot yesterday. It was AMAZING. I'm still a little high from the whole thing.

There were about ten of us - myself as Two, a Five, two Tens, a Rose, a Donna, a Jack, and a Four/Owen, plus two amazing photographers.

Some of the pictures are already up at http://www.the-enthusiasts.com/gallery?g2_itemId=15802 but if you want the highlights look over at dw_cosplay :)

All in all, a great day with some incredible friendships forged. Don't you just love how things like these bring people together?

Also, about the title? Don't ask XD

Staying in your pajamas all day. :)

I came down with something nasty shortly after giving blood on Saturday. Stayed home from school just to get over it. Feeling much better now.

Now sitting down to work on my common application with a box of Whoppers and some recordings I made of the Legacy of Kain games on my phone. Yes, that's how much of a life I DON'T have.

Things to look forward to:
~DW cosplay photoshoot this Saturday
~Halloweeeeeeeeeee'eeeeeeeeeeen ^^
~Chicago TARDIS.
