Can be random original somethingness, can be fandom - my usual HP, Good Omens, Who, whatever and also Firefly, though I haven't quite finished watching the series and if you spoil me for the film heads may roll, and Being Human and, er, apparently, Merlin. Don't mock. Also! Xkcd! Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Whatever strikes your fancy really, I'll decline only if I know nothing 'bout it.
Help an ailing mathematician spark it and work it!
[Indeed, make a meme of it. I'll gladly give you prompts. I just have problems giving any to myself.]

Also? Tennant's tongue is lovely.
Another name for it is dock, apparently. Also vampire-spinach, because it tastes like blood and looks like a sauce made of sexy evil.
Tell me all you know about it, please!
And speaking of me, I am here ish, though not on IMing places so much any more, but if you wish to shower me with tributes in the form of emails, links, or fic, you may do so. I shall be gratified. And may even reply. And yes, this is the way I grovel for my absence, thanks. Chilla: putting the love in grovel, since 1989.
And speaking of 1989, I got a fic for my birthday! Which was a trimester or so ago, but I'm finally here to link it, and do check it out, because it rocks pantyhose. Which you're probably able to tell by the title. And the author, actually, duh.

C'est magnifique.
And speaking of Whofic, there is this horrible Bible-Who crossover that I doubt I'll ever write but like planning (based on a bastardised anagram of River Song's name, naturally). I have a very important question to ask.

Inverse functions do NOT have "a certain camomile-scented Whovian charm".
Cantor's theorem is NOT the perfect analogy for interpersonal relationships.
Hilbert's paradox is NOT applicable for internetporn (it totally is though).
NOTE TO OTHERS:
I still exist! Just not exactly on the internet. That is to say, I still occasionally prowl the internet, but not enough to comment or be in any way proper about replying to people. I do miss people, and enjoy the entries people compose, but my brain is overstuffed by mathematics and talking to people and flirting and reading and drawing (I've started and cannae stop) and I've never been properly addicted to LJ, so yes. Plz to not deflist, you know you love me, I may return all properly come winter break and spend hours upon hours pontificating on the exact shade of the bluesof Nine's soul and how ketchup is, after all, bad for the soul.

ehnel ) and bits of Torchwood, inspected fanfiction and fanvids, have a fic idea concerning Donna and the sunscreen speech, built something called a Wibbly-Wobbly Fourth Wall Theory which I may or may not post later.The verdict is that I am a sold-out, solid fangirl.
</lj>( Four comparisons for four seasons. )
And in honour of that, I have a question for all and sundry:
What are your favourite fictional friendships?
I'll post mine as a comment here tomorrow, after I've soaked up the nineteenness. Please post yours!
What do you think? Am I simplifying Snape? Am I blinded by the catchy showtunes? Have I not emphasised Horrible's hotness enough?
I've still thoughts on Penny, and on Society - I may pen them down later, eventually.
There also lived a young wench, nary nineteen, who had ne'er before felt this and thus overwhelmed. One day, she was called away from her home to face off a peril greater by far than dragons. A peril 'twas called examinations and the faith of all the world rested on our wench's delicately hunched shoulders.
That day has not yet come for me, but it soon shall. For now, I shall merely disappear for two weeks. If you do run into me on the internet, it is surely a trick of lighting, gravity or me really wanting to talk to you, and flying pigs.
"Thank you, thank you, everyone, for making the past four years so very awesome and enjoyable - thank you." which was, you know, the gist of it anyway.
It was good. It was overdue. It was the end although there's a great big official party to attend tonight and I have to change into my evening gown which I actually have. It's green velvet, I've always wanted a green velvet gown, and it makes me look like a Russian prostitute-slash-spy but I love it. I am elevated. Relieved. Done. Happy. Pretty. There shall be pics upon facebook, once I find some where I don't look hopelessly coy and/or distracted.
And, yay? The occasion calls for victory music. Or alcomoholz. Or, in my case, a hot long shower and a search for someone to do my evening makeup.

But anyway, you lot are largely done and done with High School. Could you tell me how much of my "It was lovely and we'll all miss it, and it's time to get on with life but we'll ALWAYS REMEMBER" is true? Did you love it? Do you miss it? Did you get on with life [can you even stop going on with life?]? Do you remember?
Poll for y'all, and I hope this works.
Your wisdom for the day is:
The complexity of one's hairdo is in even proportions with the square of the number of days since it was washed.
And finally, as if you needed documented proof:
Athena
You are a wise one, my dear! Athena is the Greek Goddess of wisdom, disciplined war, philosophy and knowledge. She is a selective Goddess, as she only inhabits those of your high intelligence and keenness to learn great things. You’re usually not seen without a book in your hand or your eyes glued to the internet (which is, after all, the great information highway!). This should not suggest that you don’t enjoy people, as your cleverness and sharp wit are usually in full force when in a social situation, to everyone’s delight.
Oh, Quiztron, I bet you say that to all the girls.
Although it didn't to
shelled_avenger I nicked it whofrom.- Why Elsha's Theo outawesomes Hamlet

Instead, you get a meme. Prompt me, kindly, with anything you think I may have read or seen or possibly heard. (Ie. books, movies, comics, books, books, songs, poems and so forth.) Please do prompt me, I feel like doing such things now. Least I start at LOTR and work my way downwards.
Nicked from

2. The character whom I'm embarrassed to admit I adore
3. The character that would send me screaming in the opposite direction IRL despite being fascinating in fiction.
4. The character with the most annoying personality quirks
5. The character I most admire and why
6. The character with the worst temper

I don't THINK it's AF day fun.
Happy AF day, btw, I wanted to post in its honour, but have a biology presentation but this sorta sideflabbesgasted me.
Anyway, carry on.
ehnel. Warning: blasphemy and ungraphic bookporn.They say it's a matter of chemistry
they say it's a matter of temperature
but the one thing that'll always make you melt
is loopy lappy literature.
Some books are called Sonya and have wicked breasts
Some books are large-lipped lads named Tom
Some say that book Benjamin's booty is best
Ol' Bible is the minty condom.

Your bookmarks drive me outta my mind

Luscious Lewd Lapbook Bar: divine.
... That's right! It's "Break on Through" by the Doors.
Day fornicates with night,
Night impregnates the day,
Try to run! Try to hide!
Break on through to the other side!
I'm not sure if those are the exact lyrics, but the meaning is authentic anyway. So. I am most seriously in love with my own yet unmade photos, am as conceited as a horny flamingo at the carnival. And yet my theme song implies drug abuse, alien invasion and pessimistic minor deities. What does this say about me?
Are you fucking joking?
So I made a f-list-cut and an MSN contacts cut. I'm sorry! A large mass of people makes me uncomfortable and not honest. Also, I'm being overswamped with work and amn't quite up to keeping up with eleventybillion posts a day. Most of my entries will continue being public, and I hope nobody will take this the wrong way... It's not you, it's me, okay?
The unfortunate timing was just additional cruelty on my part. Thank you anyway, dears, it's been lovely knowing you all - if it hadn't been, I'd have deflisted you ages ago. I'm just doing a kind of onmoving and functional purging thing. Like Umbridge with a whip.

It'll be close and brutal and ruthless and might end very. very badly. Tune in tonight for fair-feathered political commentary!
