Reactivity

Warning: here be massive Spoiler Alert. Doctor Who-wise. And incoherent fangirling, as is customary by now. Soundtrack: Colbie Caillat. In the summer time, drinking tasty wine, nicey songs in line. To the day. Woke up, and eyed the world as through a (rather dirty) window frame, put on smile and preppy summer clothes, rejoiced in excellent weather conditions, went to school, enjoyed long and exhausting seminar, went on to have lunch, went on therefrom to read and gossip and chatter and try to teach poetry to others and learn something in return, and be taught some too, whilst laughing a lot throughout, and also; had coffee, made silly remarks on tragic heroes, and Aristotle, then walked home, made pizza, checked e-mails, ate said pizza, dug into own chocolate reserves, commenced with wine, went online, skimmed through Mail Online; brand new Daily Mail sites, very neat, might I just promote; continued on to Doctor Who-sites, macros are fun, David's busy, I've got to read more fanfiction, no time for anything at the moment, and - to radically obstruct any hopes of making time for said anything-kinda stuff; finally set out for a visit at LiveJournal.com, the official sites, there we go and - BANG!

Now, that wasn't nowhere nearly half-expected! Massive amounts of suprise-induced double negation words - as a result - in fact, it was highly unexpected, and it made me highly extatic. Overly enthusiastic and, hence, feeling the need to cite instant response patterns as displayed by self: oh my god, fucking yeah, and whooooray - it's Billie Piper! Suddenly appearing, right there in front of me on the good old screen, out of nowhere, out of the beautiful blue, gorgeous as ever - of course - this is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! But, wait, just wait. Follow up with even more thorough examining of text and imagery. And - coming into view - oh noes! Loud, major yelling excercise: OH NO!! Look at what the text says! I don't want to cry. Seriously, I don't want to cry any more over Rose, or the Doctor, or Rose and The Doctor, or them not being together, them not getting together, them missing each other desperately because they're not (able to be) together. Man, it's killing me enough as it is already, seeing that we're always left pending, at the prospect of them maybe finding back to each other, maybe getting to declare their love for one another, sometime in the near or more distant future. And this whole announcement is of little aid to our common, current fangirl situation of horrid anxiousness. Complete and utter uncertainty, to which this proves no improvement. I hate inexplicit, vague, annoying headlines that procure speculations, only, and no explanations. What more, in quotation marks, so there's no way we can (act like we) doubt its accuracy. Too blatantly official for such. But hey! Stop the moaning and drop the complaints for a minute, it's Billie Piper! Ladies and Gentlemen, and Doctors, that's no other than Billie P. on the cover! And much better than last time she grazed this particular front page, when it said "goodbye Rose", in huge capital letters below her picture, and - well - that too made me burst into tears. Now, here she is again, and she's wearing a beautiful blue leather jacket and some great makeup, but that doesn't keep me from wondering; what's with the incredibly unfitting, stupid hairdo? And the gloomy looks? I mean; it seems she's got tears threatening to well up in her eyes! At least, she doesn't look very happy - just pensive and troubled and thin - which adds to the whole sense of worriedness, as expressed by fan(girl)s all over the place, due to the inescapable promises of really bad events to occur in the upcoming finale. Disasterous times impending. Guh. There's even Big Ben and Parliament - rearranged, misplaced London skyline - photoshopped into the background; what's that got to do with anything? Lovely as it is, that makes no sense, and the images don't do it justice either. Also, reuse of an old Donna photo that doesn't fit with the rest of the colour scheme; that's more than mildly disappointing. Especially because they use to be so good at these things. Still: it is Billie! Goddamnit, it's Billie Piper! On the front page of the official Doctor Who series magazine! Meaning: she's back! Don't need more confirmation than that, do we? Like the cover in itself, too, pretty captivating stuff - love the brushes and neon effects - despite the unavoidable minor flaws; some elements of bother; yet, it sure does help how two thirds of the page is covered in Rose Tyler goodness. Which just reminds me, once again, that she is in fact returning - and, whatever that might lead to, it does mean loads of nail biting, nervousness and nerve racking despair; both before, during and after the final three parter. Three weeks to go. Jeeesh, I'm so excited I'm increasingly incoherent. Or, well, when did DW ever make me anything else? Not to mention, when was I ever coherent? But now I'm suffering from physcial reactions and shakiness and continuous, inner uneasiness and god knows what; further stages of painful, unhealthy anxiety and overdone enthuasiasm. But I love that too. I love being a proper fangirl and squee all over, just at the sight of a fresh, unforeseen jpeg file published on some obscure internet forum. Enthusiasm is bliss. And, the joy does do me good. I look forward to the episodes - lots and lots - and to reading the actual mag! Wonderful to have Rose back in action!

And, well, a slight addition at the end, just because there will never be a time when this isn't funny - and, it's theme related and it's brilliantly made - something to sum up the state of mind I'm in at the moment; also, what things make me laugh, right now, when I just so happen to be in this particular kind of erratic fangirlish amusement craziness of mood. Yup, there you have it. David Tennant, for your vieweing pleasure solely. Enjoy! Never even noticed how many times he actually does that, nor how funny his facial expressions are, each and every single time, nor how frantically enervating it is to watch all instances, uninterruptedly. Amazing shit. And the ending is priceless, albeit extremely implied and fans-only. I don't think I want, or should make any attempt, to explain - so if you don't get it, I hereby direct you over to ihasatardis and further similarities; the rest of the aboslute absurdity.
