Fleurette

Amazon sent me an email that my order of Yorkshire Tea has shipped! And so is fulfilled my brother Steve's birthday present to me...he sent me a gift card and I've only now spent it!

Oh, and...

Well, we had a really good improv practice tonight, and at least for the moment, my mood is uplifted! The Doctor is playing with me -- he's such a pretty boy! I can hardly wait till he opens his Christmas presents! *giggle*

Hopefully this positive vibe lasts longer than the next annoyance! *hee*

I've been just about to check out Lady Gaga, still don't know her stuff or much of anything about her, but ironically we played an improv game in which I had to be her...LOL!!! At least I made strong choices -- they may have been wrong, but they were strong! HAHAHA!!!

...and I've managed to post at least a sentence every day. So, the nablopomo thing was a success, even though nobody seems to care or notice, except some of my wonderful readers, of course! :)

It's Monday and I don't want to go to work...but I will, I suppose. Thanksgiving was good, and shopping on Friday was awesome! Yet, I'm still fighting depression, which seems lately, to be triggered by every little thing. I'm feeling left out and unwanted, which isn't entirely true, I know, but seems to be my default angsty feeling. Not really sure how to convince myself that it's not completely true...but I'm optimistic that the feeling will pass.


I wonder how much of this is my working through grief? I've lost people and pets before, but nobody as close to me as my baby brother...so, I dunno. I'm continuing to move ahead -- I've got shows this week, and they're gonna be AWESOME!

Yes. Thought I was gonna miss it, but I haven't! HA!

Oh so gaktified from jaded_jamie




My user name is fleurette because:

At the time I set up my LJ, I was amazingly obsessed with all things musical theatre, with special emphasis on The Secret Garden, Les Miserables, and The Scarlet Pimpernel, all of which I still count among my very favourite musicals to this day. Anyway, when I get all involved in a fandom, I usually don't just stick to the surface, but I delve into all of the most wonderfully useless and fabulous trivia...The Scarlet Pimpernel was based on characters from a series of novels, one of which was Sir Percy Hits Back, in which the main antagonist, Chauvelin, is found to have a daughter. An innocent, sheltered, pure and sweet girl, who has no idea of the outside world or of her father's evilness...her name, was Fleurette...and so, I declared figuratively, it shall be mine!


2
My name is Vicki because:


That's the name my parents decided on. It is not after anybody, nor is it, in point of fact, Victoria, which is a lovely name...so much so that I use it for one of my alternate screen names, however, it is not actually mine!



3
My Journal & Friends page title's are Timey Wimey Detector -- Goes ding when there's stuff, and Not impossible, just a bit unlikely! because:


They are a couple of my favourite Doctor Who quotes, and both from the Tenth Doctor...Blink and The Doctor's Daughter are the episodes in question...



4 My default user pic is: Dear Live Journal because:


It's the Doctor on a computer, blogging on his LJ...*giggle*


So...you're welcome to meme away in return!!!

Quick post to make sure I've got one in...Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it...Happy Thursday to those who don't! :)

jaded_jamie, this is for you!!!

Ooh...got Snow White...don't know what to think about that!

And now I'm off to Thanksgiving potluck at church!

Why am I letting stuff get to me? *sigh* At least I do have plenty of stuff to look forward to...

Airborne, which my acting coach swears by, and which I used to swear by, but forgot all about till he reminded me...so maybe I'll swear by it again if I don't catch this cold I've been exposed to...

And, by the way, I'm at work...EARLY...mobile posting FTW...or was that WTF?!!

...need caffeine...

So there you have it! LOL

Too early!

Last night, my ISP decided to go all maintenance on me, so I was without internet, with insomnia and not happy!

But I'm OK now...work awaits.

:P

YES!!! Every day posting! w00t!!!

The prospect of going to work today does not appeal to me at all, but I missed Friday, and it wouldn't be good to miss today, so, I guess I'm going.

You know, I was gonna comment in a few other LJs, [well, I did already on one! *giggle*] but I figure it'll be best to post it all here on my own. I am fully and unapologetically a Ten [and Tennant] supporter, and he didn't disappoint! I'm gonna miss him so much!!!

( I suppose I should be polite about the spoilage... )

Tomorrow, The Waters of Mars airs...hopefully I can see it sooner rather than later! LOL


Must get ready...acting class awaits later this A.M., and I've got a scene with a really awesome classmate! *whee*


Oh, and my dad put a shirt on Timmi, and she didn't mind!!! [Maybe there will be Timmi clothing made or bought by me in future! YAY! Pictures later!]

Espresso is a good thing. I'm off to get some shortly. :)

The Ology Meme Of Certain Death!

Gakked with wild abandon from jaded_jamie, since I was crazy enough to click on the Absolute Radio link and am now listening to DAVID TENNANT even though it's now 3am here in the US...and even my chihuahua is going back to sleep...he normally wakes up at 2am or so to play, before going back to sleep for the night, but anyway...

( To the MEME! )

It really sucks to have to go back to work after a midweek day off. :P

Not at all happy. Must work on monologue...gotta have it memorized by Tuesday! Maybe shopping later? I hope!

Yes. The hog call of a Kazakhstan [or wherever Borat says he's from] pig greaser. Yup. And I won!!! Also, at Serpent Mound, my boy, J brought the serpent and I brought the mounds, if you know what I mean! Oh, and Hilary Duff and 50 Cent are off doing th' nasty while Grover expounds upon er, something political! And then I can't think of 3 proper rhymes for Bri, so I have to suck and open for Nickelback!!!


Just a few highlights from my own POV at last night's improv show! It was a blast! We, that is, Parlor Tricks, kicked ass, as did the Shimmy Shake Project, Fake Bacon, and the brand new Not From Concentrate!


And I'm off work today -- YAY!!! The Doctor is very happy!

Show tonight at the Thirsty Ear! Improv!!! LOL

Anyway...I love my chihuahua! More time for proper posting, and voice posts to come!

See ya! :)

Posting...LOL


Getting a late start again, and my cable seems to be screwing up, though it may just be a bad connection to my TV... :P I so do not want to go to work today. :P


ETA: HA!!! The TV was on channel 2 instead of channel 3!!! [Seems the Doctor walked on the remote!] It's FINE!!! YAY!!! :)

OK, so I've got a bit of time before I have to go out again...



The Doctor is being so, so cute!!! But then, that's his job, isn't it?! Answers to my voice post meme will start soon...maybe tonight, but that depends on what comes up. They will be answered, though!



But yeah...just typing for lack of something better to do! :)

Gakked from eponymous_rose

Now, please, respond so I know I actually have readers...LOL

You can ask me pretty much anything...fandom related or not...so ask away! :)

...but I do have to be at church at 8am, so it's probably a good thing! My chihuahua is very snuggly...such a cute boy! I really should take a picture of him with his HUGE milk bone [from the box for our gorgeous BIG puppy!] Usually I'll break the big ones into smaller chunks...and he's got his own small biscuits too, but tiny puppy + giant treat = win! LOL

Here I am again. Perhaps there will be more later...perhaps not. We shall see. But a daily post is a daily post! HA!!!

*ugh*

Interesting show last night...a bit of a comedy of errors, and an old guy named Warren who monopolized the game with his "humorous" story of bar mitzvahs and hondas. LOLZ

Good times! :)

Reading my flist, I saw in comments...I think at fanfromfla, that there's a direct to video Sherlock Holmes film coming -- Gareth David-Lloyd as Watson, Ben Snyder as Holmes and Dominic Keating as the bad guy...but not Moriarty. I suppose it's a trend... but YAY, Dominic Keating, who was once my main source of squee!!!!


Wish I didn't have work today...but, OH CRAP...I just remembered! I do have a doctor's appointment! I'd better get ready!

LOL...the make sure I have a post post! I've got some memeage to do, but not enough time right now...till later!!!

I probably should vent or something, mood swings and feelings of inadequacy...but I also probably don't have time...I'm not up as early as I'd intended...ah well. Another day, another post...

Chasing my chihuahua around the room all morning! *giggle* He is SO my baby!!! LOL

So, I'm inspired...by scarletsherlock, seramercury, and I'm sure several others who are actually going to do that NANOWRIMO thing again and do brilliantly and prolifically well at it!

No, I'm not even gonna pretend to actually do that myself...but I am going to attempt to write at least one blog entry every day this month...this time, actually starting on the day, instead of having to retro one day back or something like last year. I'll try and find that NABLOPOMO site again before the day is up too and make sure it's crossposting or something... :)


So, this is it. There may be another one today. There WILL be another one tomorrow! :)

The Doctor and I handed out candy to the little ones tonight...yes, we know it's not Halloween yet, but our Columbus, Ohio neighborhood is in some strange little timewarp that although silly, compels us to carry out the tradition at the wrong time, and it's usually best to just go with it. The Doctor wore his blue suit, while I played the part of the lovely Dalek princess...*giggle* The little kids LOVED him! :)














Here are some more shots of the Doctor modeling his lovely blue suit! Such a handsome fellow!






"Oh, I'm pretty boy!?!"





( More cute under the cut! )

And now, the Dalek Lady!




( EXTERMINATE!!! )

*giggle* I'm so easily amused that I'm usually laughing sincerely, and if not, I'm laughing because of the WTF factor. And, no, I really don't get annoyed if someone else pretends to be amused...since if on the off chance I'm not really amused, I'm quite willing to pretend to be. *hee*

Sometimes I really hate having to take the high road, cause it's the right, mature thing to do, when I feel anything but right and mature.

And I also had better not be getting sick...been exposed to a lot of colds lately, and feel kind of meh.

...in which the blue suit makes its debut...


( Allons-y! )


And here are a couple of cute bits from my YouTube...since I just learned how to do such things...and yeah, there will be more, I'm sure...

An absolute nobrainer....The Proclaimers!!! And if I had the means, I would walk 500 miles go to another city...they were just here in the states not too long ago, but I didn't have the means as it happens...hopefully next time!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/logo/logo2.shtml

I like the new Doctor Who logo...very much! Still very mixed in regards to Eleven...really curious about his take on the character, really don't want Ten to leave...really wish he'd done just one more series/season...but it is what it is, to reoveruse an overused phrase!

Gaktified from jaded_jamie

( Click to meme )

Absolutely and without a single doubt in the whole wide world, a luxury hotel!!!! I'm very unoutdoorsy...I mean, I like taking my chihuahua out for walks around the block and maybe in the park if the chance comes up, but I am just not one for roughing it!

And now...a puppy picspam!!!

( The Doctor and a little Timmi! )

Oh, travelling is much, much better -- but if I can't afford a trip or have to stay in town for whatever reason, then I can usually find something enjoyable to do, even if it's just chillin'...
