Quote meme, as seen on half my flist (with wank)

"Pick five that resonate and post 'em."

An optimist is the human personification of spring.
Susan J. Bissonette

A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself.
Jessamyn West (1902 - 1984)

Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)

War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955)

We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950)

Meanwhile, Eurosong results bring the wank. Of course.

And these Doctor Who spoilers, if true will bring the wank to fandom lika WHOA.

...

Get your drink orders in early, people. The wankshelter is open.

Re: Eurovision: is anyone really surprised that there was political voting? I mean, really? >_>

Re: Doctor Who: ...uh-oh. *backs pre-emptively into the wankshelter* This should be interesting.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sort of voting is like totally unheard of and shockingly new. Totally.

'Interesting' is only the start of it. Oi.

[cazrolime.livejournal.com]

I'm not active in DW fandom, so I only really see it when wank takes out its very borders. Tell me it's all hugs and (tin) puppies and opposing shippers skipping hand-in-hand down Friendship Avenue the rest of the time? ...Or is that like hoping that alchemists aren't setting things on fire just because I can't see any brightly-coloured explosions?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Er.

Fandom can be really smashing and all, but there is a lot of wank and sniping and anon memes and locked communities and stuff.

Puppies, not so much.

[greyladybast.livejournal.com]

"Interesting" in a Chinese curse sorta way....*headdesk*

[kinnosuikazura.livejournal.com]

The Doctor Who link is gone all ready. :/

[ashestothestars.livejournal.com]

Backspace to the slash at the end - it should work then :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Works now, sorry! Work kills my braincells :(

[kinnosuikazura.livejournal.com]

*G* No prob, I completely understand. <3

And wow. Ok. Didn't expect /that/. I adore Alex Kingston, but... ok. o.0 Wankfest times a million, coming up. Yikes.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Maybe it'll be Wankimplosion: The Whovian Way.

[ashestothestars.livejournal.com]

That is going to cause a wank-implosion of epic proportions. It's a case of run for the hills while we still can (or into the shelter).

*stakes out a comfy corner of the shelter*

I think I'll start with a Blue Lagoon and go from there.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Coming right up.

Sadly, I can't run for the hills - I have to mod episode reactions to at least one of those episodes and won't that be fun?

[ashestothestars.livejournal.com]

Oh loads.

*hands over fire-extinguisher*

You can use to to put out the flames and bean some sense into people.

I'll have the headache meds ready for that weekend.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to focus on shiny new BSG and try to block out the bullshit, I think.

And smack people a lot. With a viking helmet.

[cedara]

The German tabloid 'Bild' put the Eurosong wank on the front page.

ETA: A Time Lady can only be a Gallifreyan, however, if true, I'll bring the popcorn.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Unhappy with the 14 points?

[cedara]

What I saw it was (translated) "We pay, they give themselves the points" (and us none).

Personally, I think the Germany entry was crap.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The German entry was off-key and horrid and my biggest WTF of the contest was when Bulgaria gave it 12 points. WHUT.

Sweden wanked on us for only giving them 7 points. Ah, Eurosong. Whoever wins, it's always wank.

[cedara]

One of the three girls was originally from Bulgaria and does some charity work there, afaik.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaah.

Now it makes slightly more sense. Only slightly, mind you.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

Will need drinks in the wank shelter. It's going to be a bit of a doozy if true....

ETA: bit is so much better than bot *sigh*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hooooooo yeah. Whose turn is it to make reaction post, anyway? I have this feeling it's me.

We're going to need the whole bar and then some.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

I think was yours but you made the mod post and the Eurovision challenge, that I agreed to take this one on. I think I got the Doctor's Daughter as well. If this rolls right, you get the first Rose one so it'll balance out! :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, and both Saz and me got MK, so your time to get it :P

Yes, well, that one will be interesting. But first Rose one is just with Donna, I think, so maybe it won't be so bad.

[mthespinner.livejournal.com]

If that is a correct spoiler, the midden will hit the windmill. May I place an order for an extra large gin and bitter lemon?

At last, a chance to use my Repplier icon!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Certainly!

And the Mirror is not the most trustwothy of sources, but even if just half is true, oi with the voi.

[silvery-lass.livejournal.com]

I don't like this whole deal with western and eastern Europe. Europe is Europe.

As far as Terry Wogan is concerned I just think the UK is sore losers. I don't see why, the put out with so much money for the contest that they are automatically qualified anyway and if they want to win they only need to send something a lot of people would vote for.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes - bit of a relic of the cold war, that bit. But I think perceptions will change a bit, as the cold war is more and more a ghost and the EU grows bigger.

if they want to win they only need to send something a lot of people would vote for.

Heh, quite.

[bex245.livejournal.com]

I don't bother with Eurovision because it has shit all to do with music and everything to do with politics. *facepalm*

DW spoilers: Uh oh. That is gonna stir some serious shit up. And I will no doubt join in the crazy because I am a fangirl and I know no better. *fail* :P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Eurosong is smashing fun when you don't take it seriously, though. Endless opportunity for mocking!

*patpat* I was fangirl enough to do a little 'whee' when I first saw Rose, I admit. It was just when I thought about what fandom might do about it I felt annoying. Bah. But we're all fangirl for something. Rooooooslin.

[dark-aegis.livejournal.com]

*dives into the wankshelter* I'll take a strawberry margarita, please. Fandom is seriously going to explode, isn't it?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Good chances of it, I'd say. One ship group or another is bound to get worked up.

[falena]

Am I the only one excited at the DW spoilers?

Must be the ER fan in me. You never forget your first fandom.

Plus, I'm counting on the fact that wank will pass me by as usual. Sometimes being clueless and on the fringe of fandom has it advantages.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I saw several people being excited, actually. And it's not the spoilers as such that got me a bit apphrensive - it's fandom's likely reaction. Hell, I like the actress - I think I watched ER when she was on. Didn't she have a thing with a doctor who got a tumor or something?

Hehe. And there's also new BSG to distract!

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

I am quite surprised that there is wank re: Who spoilers. Am I naive or just too out of the loop?

[aelie-baby.livejournal.com]

Re: Eurovision.
Duuuuuuh. I'm American and figured it was politics when I first even heard of Eurovision. Oh well. Regardless of the politics behind it, it's still an epic smash-up of camp.

Re: Who spoilers.
Erm... Yipes. I'm really glad I've stayed out of fandom this season. And that's really all I have to say about it.

[sonbon71.livejournal.com]

Re the Who spoilers - Wank implosion is set to hit critical mass sometime soon. Particularly if you consider all that was offered in the Part 2 of Season 4 trailer and chuck that in on top. Feuding companion and Time Lady fics pending I fear.

In the meantime, oh bartender - may I have a decent red - something from the Margaret River region perhaps?
