Because God is all about the ships. Or something.

[misscam]

” BUT our Lord Jesus is very gracious to us.
Because I started praying for JKR and our ship. I didn't think He'd do anything because God doesn't like to mess with free will. If JKR wants to write it that way, then so be it. However, that night, I had a dream of grown-up and pregnant H/Hr.”

...!

Okay, I'm a wee atheist, so maybe I'm not up to date on praying etiquette, but praying for your ship? Your ship? What? I mean, you don't see me sacreficing a goat to Odin to bring forth the glorious Nine/Rose/Ten ('the threesome for those who just can't choose between Nine and Ten!'), now do you? I might be off here, but it seems to me that the God of religion is in fact not Santa Claus. And if he was, I think he'd prefer to give you socks over a ship. (Not to mention, what would he give the eager prayers for the opposite ship? He might have to go for the orgy to satisfy all, poor divinity.)

cryptile is the Featured Whovian of the week. Poke her with questions. Pooooke.

Meanwhile, I am writing my first Eight fic. Interesting... A tease, because I like to do it.

Tomorrow, the world is ending, and today, he is happy.

He goes to London, May 1945, watching the people rejoice and the war be over. He snogs complete strangers. Complete strangers snog him. He sings all the wrong words to songs and no one cares. He dances with an old woman in the street to silent music, and she rests her head on his shoulder and sighs. Just once, just happy.

Tomorrow, she's going to die, he knows. But then, so is he.

He takes Leonardo DaVinci flying, and is miffed when Leonardo steals his design. He crashes into a field with the Wright brothers, but assures them they're on the right track and it'll work very soon, and by the way, have they ever considered police box design for flying?

He sees two turns of the millenium - one with drunk Englishmen in a sportsbar, one with drunk Vikings in a longhouse, or the other way around. He wears a Viking helmet and finds it a bit boring, so he sticks horns on it.

Tomorrow, it's going to be a fashion high-point, he thinks. But then, so he's always been.

So now I've passed 400 friends on this LJ. Hum. And I feel I don't know quite a lot of you. So, let's play a fact game. You comment with a random fact about you, I'll reply with one about me. If you want to keep going, you reply again with another fact and so on.

Or, if you so prefer, ask me any three questions you want, and I'll answer. Then I'll ask three of you.

(Oldies may also play, if they're bored or just plain curious.)

When I was five, I caught chicken pox twice and viral meningitis all within a month. And it was Christmas time, too...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Until I was about five, I was in fact blonde.

[dark-aegis.livejournal.com]

Eight!fic! Yay! But you are such a tease ;)

Random fact...let's see here...

I'm a rocket scientist by degree. ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You know I am. Muhahaha.

Before I was born, mum made dad give away our cat's two kitties and dad was all sad.

[triskellion.livejournal.com]

Just like my father's entire family, I was lemon blond as a child and became more and more of a brunet as I got older. However, unlike all the other women in his family, I actually have something other than thin dandalion fluff on my head.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

My brother is the only one to have remained blod in my family for generations.

[syncopated_time.livejournal.com]

I still live with my parents and we all get on really well. I'm 24.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I moved out when I was 21, but then I did move all the way to Australia.

[spotts1701.livejournal.com]

Not to mention, what would he give the eager prayers for the opposite ship?

Depends. If it's Old Testament God he might just smite them (he was very big on the smiting). New Testament God - probably just tell them "Sorry 'bout that. Next major literature craze, I'll give you what you want."

Random fact - When I was a kid I got my arm stuck in a billiard table.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I vote for smiting. I like smiting.

When I was six, I fell out the window after I decided to show off to my brother by balancing on the ledge.

[20thcenturyvole.livejournal.com]

I'm named after my gay celibate ex-nun auntie and my possibly-Jewish great grandmother. I'm the only left-handed person in my family. I've never felt like a real Australian, and always feel slightly uncomfortable when I am there.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

My father was named after his mother and father, but he got himself a stagename as a radio host, and after a while he decided to change his name to that.

[spaced-oddity.livejournal.com]

Random fact:

I can live a relatively normal life on very little sleep (ie. roughly 3 hours per night), although I know it'll catch up with me one day.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I always set my alarm for half an hour before I have to get up so I can lie in bed for a while and know I don't have to get up quite yet.

[nymeria.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'd love to sacrifice a goat to a Norse god in the name of my 'ship. (Not my ship, which would make sense for a viking, but my 'ship.)

Loki, grant us a fucking great sea snake with which to assault our imaginary enemies!... and then get eaten ourselves. *sigh*

Speaking of Norse Gods, someone on my f-list did a page of chibis here, and I thought of you. Well. Actually, I thought of my stepdad, but he's blocked me on MSN 'cuz I kept pestering him with imaginary extracts of a Viking romance novel. *cough* What's wrong with 'And then Erik tenderly undid the strings of her bodice, and said, "Darling, you and the other thirty five female slaves I took from this raid - you are my only. Until we reach York, anyway."'? I mean, srsly? :p

Random fact about me: I drink at least one litre of Dr Pepper a day.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I love those! *huggles* Yay for Nordic gods. They were at least never *dull*.

Have you read real Viking romance novels? Those are scary things - and not that far away from your imaginary bits, either.

Random fact: I almost never wear make-up.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Eight!fic. Yay!

...Though I don't know why I am yaying, since I still haven't seen the TVM. Clips from it, yes, but not the whole thing.

Random Fact: I am terrified of spiders. Scared of them liek whoa.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I panic whenever my head goes underwater, but I love swimming and I'm not afraid of water otherwise.

[insaneizzi.livejournal.com]

I have green eyes. Which is unusual because both my parents have brown eyes, and the only person in my family that has green eyes is my great aunt, and she only has one green eye. (The other one is blue, spiffy, no?)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I have green eyes as well, and I'm a little bit short-sighted, which means I wear glasses now and then.

Spiffy indeed.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

So, let's play a fact game. You comment with a random fact about you, I'll reply with one about me. If you want to keep going, you reply again with another fact and so on.


When I was four I almost drowned. Well, the others say that, I still remember it being fun

[misscam.livejournal.com]

When I was three, I almost drowned. Which probably has something to do with the random fact given to drakyndra

[norwegianne.livejournal.com]

*shudders* Praying for the 'ship? Like there aren't a multitude of better things out there to pray for?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

But those things aren't as important as a fictional couple getting it on!

[cedara]

I could cut out the chocolate from my food, but I never can cut out tea, especially when it's green tea or green flavoured tea.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The longest I've gone without chocolate was half a year, as I found Australia chocolate very not Norwegian chocolate. Sniff.

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

A random fact, eh...Here are several!

I've had so much dental treatment in my life that I often have nightmares about my teeth. I used to have a phobia of injections, but I had therapy to get over it - this was very lucky, because I now have to have injections about once a month. A couple of months ago, I got so fed up with the state of my hair, that I had most of it cut off :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I have to go to the dentist on Friday and have a root fill. This does not please me. Also, I had braces for about a year when I was 16.

[monkeyfetus.livejournal.com]

Eight fic? Eight fic!
Eight fic makes me happy.

hmm.. a random fact eh?

My Middle name (Annalee) is both of my Grandmothers middle names squished together (Josephine Ann & Vivian Lee). It was originally supposed to be Leeanne, but my mom said it sounded "Too Country Music" and switched it around

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh. Bit of an Eight fan, huh?

My middle name is my mother's last name, and comes from a family farm where my family has apparently lived for close to a thousand years.

[distaff-exile.livejournal.com]

I have a question: What was the inspiration for OFUM?

And a random fact: My father's favorite portrait of me is the one I had done on a band trip my senior year... the one from the wild west portrait shoppe. Thus, we now have a picture of me in flapper gear holding a cigarette/holder and a bottle of Jim Beam, with money tucked into my garter, displayed next to the oh-so-normal prom picture and senior portrait.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Beta'ing badfic and remarking to friends it was a shame writers didn't have to pass a test a la drivers before they were let loose on fanfic. That got me thinking.

I also have such Wild West portrait - from when me and my brother visited friends in Utah.

[autobadgirl.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHHAHAAAAA! HP Wank is *by far* the best wank out there!

Thank you for finding me this...now when I ritualistically sacrifice the slow kids in my class cross my fingers and hope for some action shipwise I'll know I'm doing God's work.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I never realised writing fanfic is actually missonary work...

Go forth and spread God's words of Fictional OTPs for hope and betterment everywhere?

[settiai]

Random Fact:

Well, since everyone else is talking about hair...

I've never had to dye my hair because, when I go out in the sun, my plain-as-mud brown hair turns red all on its own. Of course, no one in real life believes me when I tell them this, since there's such an obvious difference in the color.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Despite being a pale Scandinavian, I tan quite well and easily. I haven't been sunburned in years and years.

[shadowednavi.livejournal.com]

Random fact:

I have bad luck with stairs. :D I've
A) gone down in a laundry basket when I was an infant (unharmed)
B) heard about the above, then went down in a wire basket (sore back and neck from tumbling which faded a day later)
C) fallen off the second floor banister (hurt leg, but no lasting damage)
D) went down in two wire baskets (really sore back, but again, nothing permanent)
E) locked myself in a stairwell at school (wound to dignity :3)

Not to mention tripping up and down all the time at home and school. And there you have it. :3

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I last fell down the stairs three weeks ago, and my ass hurt for the next two.

[xxxlegacyxxx.livejournal.com]

When I was four, I ran into a wall. o_O

True story :)

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I broke my little toe running into a wall. Of course, I was 12 at the time (and very, very uncoordinated.)

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I might be off here, but it seems to me that the God of religion is in fact not Santa Claus

Dude, any god this chick worships is now on the phone to some other god, saying, "You think you've got weird worshippers - listen to what this woman prayed to me about today!"

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure gods would have quite the time exchanging stories about worshippers.

Random Fact

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I read "MacBeth" for the first time when I was six. My uncle used to read Shakespeare (and Edgar Allen Poe stories) to me for bedtime stories.

Re: Random Fact

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The first book I can remember reading was "Azur" by Jon Bing, a Norwegian author. It was a sci-fi book.

[scarlettgirl.livejournal.com]

Four the last six generations, the first born daughters on my maternal side have all been born on either the 7, 17 or 27th of the month. Three generations hit a seven trifecta with my grandmother being born 7/7, my mother 7/17 and myself, 7/27. My eldest daughter didn't cooperate by arriving on 10/17 but she's a millenium baby so I guess that's okay. (This has served no greater purpose in my life other than odd trivia. You'd think I could get a lotto win or something...)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

My mother is born in Decemeber, my father in January, me in February and my brother in March. We find this fairly amusing.

[cursed-albion.livejournal.com]

Random fact..let's see
Due to illness I stopped growing at 13 and now I'm the same size I was at that age :(

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I've never grown any wisdom teeth, and neither has my mum.

[starsong24.livejournal.com]

I feel I may have another person in my head. Rather like hS does. I believe I may have caught it off him. *Grin.*

Okay...my NaNo consisted of other people's characters. I refer to myself as Zeph. I have emotional issues.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I talk aloud to my cat and pretend he can understand me so I'll feel less silly.
