Every year Episode 12 is aamazing and I expect great things of the following.
Every year Episode 13 is a great big reset button and lazy writing.
Why did I expect this year to be different?
Good riddance, RTD. You won't be missed.

Oh dear, I haven't been this frustrated on so many fronts in a long time.
I haven't had so much as a kiss for over a year. My God. I'm practically a nun. I don't know why this is suddenly bothering me so much, but it is all I can think of recently. I meet boys, we flirt a lot, and then for some reason I spack out and just go all shy and avoid them. Like X at work. Or Y at college. I'd better pull when we go out on Saturday or I might actually die. I'm so desperate that I'm finding Thom Yorke's whiny moany vocal seriously attractive. I've never appreciated them before, but my god.
I can't write either. I'm thinking about channeling all my pent up sexual frustration into a fic, but I'm fairly sure it'd be crap anyway. I need some real inspiration, but I have none. I haven't written anything in months, I've been too busy.
I'm also frustrated that i can't find any motivation to revise for Politics. I mean, it's not like it's important, right? It's only my FUCKING A LEVELS.
Gah.

Oh, yes. Incidentally, I might feel like posting about something far more interesting than Dan Brown. In fact, it's something everyone should find Quite Interesting.
Yes,me and Cookie saw QI being filmed the other day. It was really ace. We queued for two hours in the rain outside the London Studios by the Southbank centre. But it was so worth it! When we were ushered in at last, we were FRONT ROW. So literally aabout twenty feet away from the stage and MR STEPHEN FRY.
It was so good. The guests were David Mitchell (he's so adorably geeky!), Rich Hall, and JIMMY CARR. I have to confess to still not knowing who Rich Hall is, but nevermind. And of course, there was Alan Davies and Mr Fry himself.
The show is brilliant. My mum told me it'd probably be really scripted, with Stephen asking the question about seventy times so they could get the funniest clips, but it wasnt! It's exactly what it's like on the telly, just a two hour chat about absolutely nothing, but very interesting nothing. It's rather rude actually, I'm sure half of what they were discussing wouldnt mkae it onto TV. And then at the end, they just redo a few takes that werent loud enough or the technology screwed up.
Overall, I still love Qi. But sadly, I probably won't be in the country when it's shown. Filming doesnt finish until the 12th of June, so there's only five weeks that it can be shown in, and I think out episode was episode 3. I'll have to get my mum to tape it XD

Just reread Digital Fortress again. I always forget how much I hate that book, until I reread it again. Same with Angels and Demons, actually.
Dan Brown is a fucking moron. A languages expert that "mastered six Asian dialects as well as French, Spanish and Italian"? For fuck's sake, that's a stupid sentence right there. Asian dialects? Is Mandarin now a dialect? That's stretching it a bit surely? And really, once you've mastered one Romance language, it's not hard to pick up the others. I've only ever studied French, but I can read Spanish and Italian when they're on the page.
And the central code at the end of the novel? I realised the answer to the code the first time it turned up in the novel, before these so called genii even recognised its relevance. Heck, the didnt have a clue.
GAH.

I really want to write a fic about Family of Blood. That's easily my favourite episode of New Who. I like the Evil Doctor at the end, and Baines is sexy in a sort of demented way. I also want to write about UNIT!Martha, but my inspiration has dried up completely.
Anyone want to give me a prompt? Even random word generators aren't helping me. I'll write it about anything you like, or at least have a damn good try.

Got my AS results today. I'm not a very happy bunny really. I was predicted AAAB, but got BBBC. *sigh* I cried, and now I'm really embarrassed that everyone was so nice to me when, in reality, my results were actually better than theirs anyway. I had a good cry and lots of chocolate when I got home though, and I'm focussing on the positives now. I got some really good marks in certain papers, and I can resit the shit ones that pulled me down.
In short:
French: B / 79% (76/90, 70/90, 91/120)
German: B / 76% (68/90, 72/90, 89/120)
Politics: B / 74% (98/100, 74/100, 50/100)
English Literature: C / 67% (90/90, 59/90, 52/120)
80% is an A, 70% is a B, etc
( A long ramble about each subject. Don't feel you have to read it. )

( What I didn't like about Deathly Hallows. MAJOR FUCKING SPOILERS )
It might not sound like it, but I did like the book really. Just...could have been better.
Also, I am pissed off at Tesco. I know I work for them, and I love them to bits usually because they're the more reliable of supermarkets, but...using parcelforce for important deliveries? Are they on drugs? I waited all day for my copy, and it never showed up. I ended up having to go to the Tesco I work at and buying it myself (for nearly two quid more than the pre-ordered one).
