Sneak Peek, 'Oh, Bugger' News and Cam's LJ of Old

[misscam]

"We're not shagging..."

"Oi! Doesn't mean we never will," he broke in, but she plunged on.

"... so you're not my boyfriend. We're not in some kind of weird Luke-Leia sibling-snogging relationship since clearly, you can't stand my mum..."

"She can't stand me! I'm perfectly happy to like her if she'd just do more of what I told her to."

"I'm sure she'd say the same," Rose said dryly. "And anyway, you don't have a lightsabre and waving around your sonic screwdriver and making whooshing noices does not count."

The Doctor looked slightly guilty at that. "You just don't understand the artistic value of my whooshing. What's wrong with 'companion', anyway?"

"Nothing, if you're a dog. Or a handbook. In which case, they're prefectly good titles for tag-alongs."

"Ah," the Doctor said, and now he grinned slightly. "You're on about this because Nedegic called you a tag-along, aren't we?"

"Maybe."

"Rose, he was an alien overlord wannnabe trying to blow us both up. I don't think the truth value in much he said apart from 'I want to blow you both up!' was particulary high."

"Well, then, give me a word. What am I?"

"You're a very annoying human and I'm the very annoyed alien who is not having this conversation."

And in today's 'oh, bugger' news...

Don't tell me where gonna have another Abu Ghraib like scandal. Then I truly will hit Bush with a human rights charter. I may have to either way. The day your country start talking like human rights are flexiable is the day your people start acting it too, you know. People don't need an excuse to be assholes, so the last thing you need to do is hand it to them on a silver plate.

Sigh.

In other news:
Chavez claims US plans invasion
Warrant for DeLay issued
Human Rights Watch critisize both US and Cuba
Finland too good to be true? (Some of this applies to other Nordic countries as well.)
Pizza obsession waning in Norway (Oh, my. Shocking!)

Oh my, if this story about the desecration of corpses turns out to be true (well, just if, because there are so many propaganda rumours, counter-propaganda tales and half-truths floating around all the time), then maybe someone should start pointing out carefully to the U.S. military that this sure isn't the ideal way of winning their "War on Terror" (TM) in people's minds...

So, the Lady Catherine icon obviously refers to today's news. Not to your Doctor Who snippet.

*feeds your plotbunny with the scones and jelly babies she had earlier today*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You'd think that bit was logical, wouldn't you? Gee, not looking like the baddie actually involved not doing asshole-y things! Shock, horror!

I fear my plot bunnies prefer meat.

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

'Oh, bugger' indeed. And then some.

*does not type anymore otherwise would explode into a rant* *which not be a Good Thing*

[Loved the snippet though... ;P]

[misscam.livejournal.com]

:)

Yeah, stronger curses than that even does spring to mind. But knowing Bush, I'm saving those for later.

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

*snerks at your icon*

Re. Bush - Did you see the Private Eye cover I had on my LJ a few posts back? *snickers*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Um, no....?

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

Scroll down and you'll see it. It may amuse... ;P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sneeeerk.

[krazykat.livejournal.com]

*blink blink* I'm absolutely appalled by this. If it turns out to be true, I don't know what I'll think. The Muslims in the Arab nations already don't like the US very much do to crappy policy decisions. Somehow I think completely desicrating their religion will help win the "War on Terror."

there are no words except Pink Slip, Mr. President.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Nope, I don't think it would be particulary helpful, either.

This of course assuming it's true.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

Jesus.


I mean, hell, what is there to say? Apart from, You absolute dumbfucks. The incompetence and idiocy here is fucking astounding.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hardly a great show of sensibility, no.

[perhatikan.livejournal.com]

If this happens to be true, and I hope I'm wrong, the Americans have just given muslim extremists more ammo against them. You can't expect people to support the "war on terror" if you stoop so low and not keep human rights in mind, and basically become a potential threat yourself.

Talk about loss of credibility.

*stops before this becomes a nasty rant*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know. This is just what makes me shake my head even more. This is how you lose this so-called 'war', dammit. In the end, it won't come down to weapons, but to winning over people's minds. This won't do it.

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

Arrrgh, I certainly hope that's not true. Can't take the 'moral high-ground' and then use it to spit on people.

We're already the Great Satan, we don't need to go and prove it.

::mutters about morons::

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hardly helping matters by giving truth to the sort of thing Iran would say about you, no....

[http://users.livejournal.com/_lost_iris_/]

The Abu Gharib scandal was bad enough... -_____-;; but now this?! *sigh* What has the world come to? Why can't people just adopt a good ol' philosophy of leave-others-alone-ism and respect different cultures and beliefs? It irks me to no end that some people don't seem to understand what assholes they're being, even when you point it out. Meanness, bullying, disrespect, etc. is bad enough but when there's justification for it, that's even worse. :(

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The world is coming to what it's always come to - people mucking it up. We can only hope we manage to make a few rights in there too.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

"And anyway, you don't have a lightsabre and waving around your sonic screwdriver and making whooshing noices does not count."

Okay, that's just Fantastic! *loves*

I want to know more about this fic. When is it set? What is it about? Is there smut?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

All good questions that I'm still debating. But there will be starring an Oxford Dictionary&Thesaurus and knowing me, probably hinted-at smut at least.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

A Dictionary, eh? I am intriguiged.

A hinted-at-smut? Better than none, I suppose.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I love my dictionary. It was time it got some shine.

I'm not the great explicit-smut writer at all. I prefer to be vague and hinting. Probably a lot to do with traumatic experiences involving GAFF-worthy explicit smut. Oy vey.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Dictionaries don't get enough love, in my opinion. Though check this out, it might amuse you: http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2005/om20050810.html

And I agree about the smut-writing, as I don't usually write it. The one time I did, it was very non-detailed. Sort of explicit - basically, I was doing all I could do to show they were having sex, without actually mentioning the sex part at all.

Which was odd. The fact I submitted this as part of my English folio at school is even more odd, though.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe. I like that one - I know a friend it would fit rather well, too.

Yes. I can never think of good euphenisms for vagina and penis, so I don't try, really. I trust the readers to get the basic thrust, so to speak.

*raises an eyebrow* I hope the grade was good.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

It fits me far too well, actually. I'm the kind of person who, when they find a word they don't know in a book, will automatically look it up in a dictionary. And then get distracted because they see other interesting words on the same page.

Nice innuendo, there. But I do get the thrust of it, indeed.

I got a 30 out of 35. Which works out as...about 86%. Not too shabby, really.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

So do I, but then, English is my second language. I still have so many words to learn. So many shinies....

That's pretty good, yeah. Clearly, non-explicit still does it.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well English is my first language. And I am still far too fascinated by the words than I have any right to be.

Was not to bad. Though I couldn't possibly imagine handing in anything particularly explicit. My teacher would freak.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Or get turned on, either which might not be good.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

That would be even worse.

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

*drops in via time_and_chips and flails at the sneek peak*

It's cruel to tease people, you know.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Invader! :P

Yes. This is why I am known as evil, you know.

(But fic is almost done, so not too long now.)
