"My brother had a rabbit...that's it."

While this post may be trying to decieve you into believing I wrote it at 8:51pm, it's actually about 3:30am. I left it open for a long time. I really need to get to sleep to try to fix my god awful sleep schedule, so I'm going to make this one brief.

Over the past few weeks, I've gotten a few new regular readers, and so if I haven't said this to you already: welcome! I'm glad you're here! (also, for those of you who may not know, I have a youtube channel I'm trying to post on more regularly, and you can find it here)

I've been trying to work out a way to reply to your comments and continue on a conversation, because I really feel like, even though this is unarguably my personal blog, it's really a conversation between me and you out there. So, I've decided that whenever there's a comment I feel the need to reply to, I'll just post it in my entry.

Now, if I don't reply to all of the comments, it's not because I didn't read them or love them or have time to reply to them; it's just because I maybe didn't have anything to add. I just want to clarify that.

Okay, so here we go.

"CRUNKRacoon: I probably shouldn't follow everyone who mentions Doctor Who in their blog. X]
Any way you could post a link to that video? I'm trying to warm up to Matt Smith to avoid Post-Tennant Depression."

Absolutely! It's over here. I get what you mean about Post-Tennant Depression. I totally have it too! Don't worry, we'll get through it together. Another video I watch when I really need a boost is the Jonathon Ross interview with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, which can be found in two parts here and here. It's brilliant and hilarious and makes me laugh every time! The interview was held right before series 4 aired, so for those of you reading who haven't finished the show yet, you can watch it before you watch series 4.

Alright, I REALLY have to go to bed now. Love to all!

See you soon!

"I like impossible."

Okay, well this bloggy window has been open for a really long time, and I just haven't had anything to say. I mean, I did when I thought "I should blog now," but now I don't, so it's stream of consciousness time.

I've mentioned before that my mom and little sister are watching Doctor Who for the first time with Rachel and I, and we're finally in season 2, which is personally my favorite. Season 4 is brilliant, too, but nothing really compares to season 2. We're watching "New Earth" right now. The Docter and Rose are just...aww! SO adorable. I love them too much! I love Rose and Nine, too, but Rose and Ten are unparalleled in their cute.

Also, David Tennant has freckles. It's adorable.

My band had its one year anniversary yesterday! We've been a band for a whole year now!

"It's like living inside a bouncy castle!"

"I shall proceeed...up the apples and pears!"

Possesed!Rose is genuis.

Annnd...snog.

Brianna (my little sister) just referred to the research laboratory in this episode as "the psycho ward in the Emerald City."

Okay, that's enough. I told you last time that I got that online journalism job. If you want to check out what I've written so far (and I'd love it if you would), my page with my work so far is here.

Aw. Ten's first full episode and he gets to save the world through hugging. Isn't that just like him?

Stream of consciousness over now.
Goodnight.

See you soon!

I GOT IT!!!

Okay, it's way too late for me to post a whole blog, but I just wanted to say that I GOT THE JOB!!! I am now the Science Fiction Examiner for Tampa Bay on Examiner.com!!!

Also, it's 34 degrees F right now, and I LOVE it! I live in FLORIDA. Land of the hot. 34 degrees is unheard of, and I'm loving every single second of it. XD

Okay, I have to go. Thanks for being awesome!

See you soon!

P.S. After watching an interview with Matt Smith, I'm actually way more open to him being the new Doctor, and actually kind of excited about the new season. I mean, he's no Tennant, but he's got quite the frenetic way about him, which I quite like.
P.P.S. I've also just realized that my last three blog titles have been in all caps.

THE END OF TIME AND THE WORLD TOO KAY BAI

Heeeey, guys. Sorry I haven't been blogging in a while. I was kind of taking a break from all things writing there for a while. It was nice, but now I'm back.

I have three major things to talk about today: Doctor Who, jobs and the end of the world. Allons-y?

So, right, Doctor Who. I finally caught up just in time for the End of Time episodes. Watched both parts on January 1st, and oh goodness. I thought my reaction would at least be comparable to when I saw Doomsday, but not even. Spoilers, by the way, in this paragraph. Skip on to the next if you haven't seen End of Time parts 1 and 2 yet. My sister, Rachel was crying on and off for the whole last half hour. I wasn't, I was trying really hard to just resist the whole thing. Sitting there going, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" over and over. But then, when the Doctor went to give Donna the lottery ticket, and mentioned her father to her mother, I started crying some. When Wilf lost it, so did I. Like really lost it. The second it cut back to Rose's street and I heard Rose's voice, I started to sob. At this point, I was well gone and it was really all I could do not to be too loud as I blubbed. OH MY GOODNESS MY HEART WAS BREAKING! And he was just watching her! If he hadn't made a noise, and she hadn't turned, he would have just WATCHED HER GO! Their scene was incredibly sweet and incredibly sad, and oh my lord, I couldn't stop crying. And then the OOD! All the Ood singing to him! And then he made it painfully into his TARDIS and said "I don't want to go!" which is just so human and speaks to the innate humanness inside of us all, and shows that the Doctor is more like us than he maybe sometimes wants to admit and OH MY GOD I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO, EITHER!!! And then he changed. David Tennant was gone, and there was some other man in him place. Honestly, even though there were kind of funny bits I was able to appreciate later, both Rachel and I were crying far too hard at this point to be able to appreciate them then. Long-time readers may remember that I detested Martha before I even met her just on the sole reason that she wasn't Rose, and Rachel and I were determined not to make Eleven the Martha of the Doctors, but we seriously failed for a few minutes there, I'll be honest. Going through tissue after tissue, Rachel was moaning about "geronimo", and I kept yelling "Who the hell is THAT?!" After we'd calmed down a bit, we watched the preview for next season and felt a little bit more open to him. He's still not the Doctor in my mind, but I'm becoming more accustom to the idea as time moves along. Once the new season starts, I'll probably be fine with him. Now, please, Doctor Who fans, tell me your reactions to End of Time! If you'd rather write a blog on it and link me to it, that's fine, but I want to know how you reacted! Did you cry? As much as I did? My friend Zack told me he had to accept Matt Smith's Doctor right away or he never would, whereas I need time before I can move on. Which way are you? Or do you feel differently even to that? I want to know!

Okay, that's it for the End of Time spoilers, people who haven't seen it. We're good now, you can keep reading.

So, the end of the world thing, yeah? The only reason I bring it up is because it's evidently armageddon week on the History Channel, and everyone is still talking about 2012 and whether they believe in it (I, personally, am pretty sure the Mayans just stopped writing down predictions, not that they thought the world would actually end, they just got bored or died or something). Ironically, my mom and little sister are watching Doctor Who series 1 for the first time, and during armageddon week, we saw the episode where the world ends. The one where the Ninth Doctor takes Rose to see the sun expand and destroy the earth. The Doctor has this amazing quote in that episode, and I love it, so I'm sharing it. He says:

"You lot, you spend all your time thinking about dying, like you're gonna get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible. Like maybe you survive."

And, see, I love it because that's sort of what I believe here. I really don't think we're going to get wiped out by things like global warming or asteroids or random planets inexpicably falling out of orbit, even though nothing like that has ever happened before. I mean, call me optimistic or naive if you want to, but I just have more faith than that. We've survived this much, haven't we? We're a scrappy species. I think we can make it for a bit longer. Anyway, have you got any thoughts on the end of the world? Do you think we're gonna be gone by 2012?

And lastly, jobs. I just applied for one. It would be a blogging job and it's kind of perfect for me. I have up to two week before I hear back, but if you could all cross your extremities and pray I get it (if you're the praying sort)? It would mean a lot to me! THANKS!

Okay, I need to go and read a bit more of the Doctor Who book Zack got me for Christmas and then sleep.

See you guys soon!
