Okay...Now That everyone else has had their say...

So,

All this talk about David Tennant engaged to Georgia Moffett and the fact that she is expecting has really gotten out of hand.

Firstly, I had already made my opinion known that the age difference kinda freaked me out a little (and still does).  But in all actuality, age is a state of mind and hell, if my auntie and uncle can do it (who have been married over 45 years and have a 13 year age difference between them - she's older), so can DT & GM and I wish them all the best.

Now that that's out of the way, let me express my opinion on some extremely HATEFUL remarks that have been making their way around Twitter.

I was browsing my timeline earlier today and noticed a RT from someone who quoted someone else who hoped that the soon to be Mrs. McDonald (someone clarify this for me, please),  should lose their child.

What. The. F**K?!

I'm sorry but in all the time I've been involved in any fandom, never, NEVER have I heard such vile and heinous comments. 

It's one thing to say you're going to continue to be a fan of someone despite the choices made in his or her personal life, but to say you're going to be a fan yet wish ill upon their significant other and that of their future family is downright hypocritical.

Unfollow me if you choose but I'm a NOH8 kinda girl.

I am a fan of David Tennant.  An proud #AbsoluteDTFangirl and I believe I always will be.  I hope one day to meet him, say hello, shake his hand, and say thank you and congratulations, and if I met Georgia Moffett, I'd do the same thing.

Freddy Krueger & David Tennant: A conversation.

This came to me in a late night Twitter exchange when @mcfangirl posted a pic of David Tennant in a somwhat familiar sweater. The 3 tweets that were originally sent have been edited for style and hopefully humor.

Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own either Freddy Krueger OR David Tennant (biting tongue/smacking self backto reality); THE E-MAIL ADDRESSES ARE NOT REAL.  Thank you.

*SPECIAL THANKS TO @MCFANGIRL (FOR THE INSPIRATION) @GALLIFREYNATIVE (FOR LIKING THE 3 TWEETS) & @SPYDURWEBB (FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT)

Jumper? If you're referring to my sweater, keeping it is not a wise idea. I cherish my sweater. It defines my identity. 

Get your own. Please return.

Odd.  A Jumper is a suicidal fool. How can a jumper be a sweater?

I'd still like it back.

A Jumper can be many different things aside from a suicidal fool.  I've done much jumping in my time and I'm in no way suicidal.  And I've grown attached to this jumper.  Not itchy at all - well, not anymore, at least.  A bit tattered in spots but in fairly good condition.  I was even photographed in it.

And I have no clue who you are, as I am a very busy person. You're just some bloke who's missing a jumper.  How long have you been without your jumper?

Do you know who I am?

It's a SWEATER and this could not be it. It's been missing since 1990 but I know my sweater doesn't have snowflakes on the sleeve and the neckline is fixed.  Are you sure this is mine?

And what the hell is up with that comment? 

Oh, and I don't give a damn who you are.
_______________________________________________________

To: F.Krueger@elm.st 

From : D.Tennant@london.eng

Now, now.  No need for that type of language.

The snowflakes are just a little graphic at the bottom of the page. As for the neckline, I had it repaired as it was a bit tattered. I also had it laundered since it was quite itchy, which we found "property of F Krueger." Possessive much?

Did you know that the stripes are supposed to be black and not green?  When was the last time you laundered this thing? 20 years is a long time to have a jumper go missing and unwashed.  If you loved it that much you shouldn't have taken it off.

As for the comment, don't read too much into it.  It's not about what you're thinking.

People that share my birthday, Otherwise known as another useless bit of information you look up when you can't sleep.

Let's see
March 15...Also known as the Ides of March: The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other eight months. In Roman times, the Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held. In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date that Julius Caesar was assassinated, in 44 BC, the story of which was famously dramatized in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.

Observances: The internet group Anonymous used the phrase "beware the Ides of March" when referring to its then-upcoming March 15th, 2008 mass protest against the Church of Scientology. Also the Ides of March are celebrated every year by the Rome Hash House Harriers with a toga run in the streets of Rome, in the same place where Julius Caesar was killed.

Events: 1776 - South Carolina becomes the first American colony to declare its independence from Great Britain and set up its own government. 1820 - Maine becomes the 23rd U.S. state. 1877 – The first Test cricket match begins between England and Australia. 1985 - The first Internet domain name is registered (symbolics.com). 1989 - The United States Department of Veterans Affairs is established.

Births: 1933 - Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, 1935 - Judd Hirsch, American actor, Jimmy Swaggart, American televangelist, 1941 - Mike Love, American musician (The Beach Boys), 1944 - Sly Stone, American musician, 1959 - Fabio Lanzoni, Italian model, 1972 - Mark Hoppus, American musician (+44 and blink-182), Me, Mike Tomlin, American football coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, 1975 - Eva Longoria, American actress, 1979 - Kevin Youkilis, American baseball player for the Boston Red Sox. 1985 - Kellan Lutz, Actor (Twilight series)

When you want to go home again, sign a one day deal.

Before we begin:

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SPELLING ERRORS IN THIS POST AH INTENTIONAL.

I am a baseball fan.  Not just any baseball fan -

A Boston Red Sox Fan.  Yep, a proud Cahd carrying membah of the Red Sox Nation.  From birth to the day I die.

When your parents are born and raised in Maine (Portland, my second home I call it) I think it's an unwritten law that you're a Sox fan. Stick with 'em through thick and thin.  Through the sucks time and the happy times - none more happy as when they won the World Series in 2004 and again in 2007, you're there, cheering them on.

Like any baseball fan, I cry when some of the key players are let go or leave of their own accord - Damon, but we won't talk about him (traitor).

I cried when Boggs left.  I cried when Clemons left and now look what's happened to him.

But nothing shocked me more as to when Nomar Garciaparra left the Sox and went to the Cubs in 2004 in a trade.  At the time, Nomar was my favorite Red Sox player. I think it was because of his at bat rituals - the glove adjustments and the bat tap on the shoe. I loved it although my dad found it somewhat annoying and just wanted him to hit the ball. 

Bostonians treat the Sox players like members of their family, and the generosity is reciprocated by the players, who express sadness when they're leaving their "home" to move to another.

But here's the thing:

Once a Red Sox, ALWAYS a Red Sox.  During the 2004 season, Nomar was with the Sox for all of 4 months prior to being traded to the Cubs, but to the Red Sox, it didn't matter if he wasn't there to win the World Series.  He helped get them there.  Nomar's contribution - however small - got them to the playoffs and to the world series.  For that small contribution, Nomar got a championship ring.

Today, Nomar Garciparra signed a one day deal with the Boston Red Sox so that he could retire as a Red Sox - As it should be.

Always a Boston Red Sox.

OSCAR PICKS!

Yeah I know late in coming - Damn! They're On!

Best Actor - Who should - Jeff Bridges - Who will - Jeff Bridges

My (short) birthday wish list

Yes I have a short list of birthday wishes. I don't normally do this but since twitter has been kind of an escape for me, I figured I might as well boost my creativity and my microscopic ego and come up with a wish list of what I would like for my birthday.

See, March 15th has never been a good day. Yeah it's the day that Ceasar was murdered by Brutus and all and thanks to that, I've always been told it's a bad day. Last year solidified it when I backed my car into a ditch in front a 1/2 dozen or so of my friends including my brother in law and after losing my dad last year, I want to make it fun without having to call AAA to haul my car's sorry ass out of a ditch.

Sooooo...here's my short list - and I do hope Murray Gold pays particular attention because one of these is for him.

1. a twitvid or YT vid filled with singing and pics - and ladies, you know what I mean by pics. A little fangirl love, please. ;)

2. the lyrics to The Songs of Captivity and Freedom and the Song of Freedom - This one I direct to @murraygold, you musical genius you. I hear the words but can't quite figure them out. As a singer, this frustrates me. I want to sing it right and KNOW what I'm singing. I know you're busy with putting music to Doctor Who and thus spending a lot of time in the studio but if you could fit it in...

3. a card signed by David Tennant. I was never able to get one from HeadwayEssex and want to smack myself for it. I'll have to dream about this one.

4. Chocolate! I'm a girl after all and most girls love chocolate.

See..not such a long list at all. One's a kind of easy, one's creatively challenging, one's stretching it, and the last my husband will get me...maybe...or he'll just get me a nice dinner..

My Road

I see my road less traveled
Unmarked by my footprints
The desire to tread upon it is intoxicating.
Oh, for the courage to try

I see my road less traveled
ready for me to begin
a new adventure awaits me
and a world of creativity in sight

A WTH Moment

BBC Entertainment is reporting that "A close examination of Mona Lisa's eyes suggests she could have had too much cholesteol in her diet"

WTH?!? It's a painting...one of the most popular paintings in the world and they're saying she had high cholesterol?

Overanalyze much?

David Tennant -An Actor of My Generation

There are many actors and actresses that I truly admire for their talent: Liam Neeson, Meryl Streep, Kenneth Branagh, and Helen Mirren just to name a few.

But these actors are from an older generation - a few of them old enough to be my parents.

I have thought for a few years that there was not a single actor from my generation that had the versatility to portray various characters. A few have come close - Johnny Depp and George Clooney, but none have come as close as David Tennant.

For 4 years, Mr. Tennant has been a staple on British television portraying the lead role in the BBC series Doctor Who. While on hiatus from playing the tenth Time Lord, he has filled his time portraying a number of different roles. From a man suffering from a traumatic brain injury in Recovery, to tackling Shakespeare's Hamlet on stage at the Royal Shakespeare Company. the latter has recently aired on BBC.

I must admit that when I watch this extremely talented actor, I find myself engrossed in any character he portrays. It's not his looks that make me enjoy the roles he plays (although this is a great advantage), but it's the fact that he brings so much of the boundless energy, humor, rage, sadness, and, dare I say joy to the role that it leaves me with a range of emotions that no other actor has been able to bring out of me.

On Friday, 1 January 2010 David takes his final bow as the Doctor in what is sure to be not only epic but emotional, not just for him (as he has stated on several ocassions that this was his dream role to play), but for loyal viewers all over the world who jump online to download it minutes after it goes off on BBC rather than wait until it airs locally.

*WARNING* IF YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN AND HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FIRST PART OF THE END OF TIME, WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE??? THERE BE SPOILERS BELOW! GO WATCH AND COME BACK!

I had mentioned on Twitter that, "A true sign of a great actor is 1 who can not only radiate emotion thru words but n actions as well. DT IS that actor."

That being said, as I sat and watched the first part of his final episodes as the Tenth Doctor, there are scenes where you can see David - the actor - playing the character -no words-just actions. Moving about the TARDIS, sensing what's happening and knowing that the Master is returning. Then there is That scene - the one where I as a fan of the tenth Doctor literally felt the most pain and heartache since he wiped Donna's memory (and to the Rose fans out there, don't worry, I like Rose but it is my firm belief that Donna was the most loyal companion even before the metacrisis). The scene in the cafe I wanted to (and did - twice) cry not just for him but with him as the Doctor spoke with Wilf of his impending death. There was the confrontation in the wastelands where he just stood - bravely, defiantly, glaring at the Master and ready for anything.

Although there have been various reviews (WTF being in most of them), I am content to say that eventhough there were several moments in the program where I was shaking my head in confusion (and also saying WTF), I found it to be well written and directed. After watching the series for the past 4 years, I feel that Russell T. Davies, the outgoing writer for the longest running science fiction program EVER (Take that Battlestar Galactica & Stargate), will do good by the fans and set things up to end properly and with a great deal of tears.

My First Fanfic

Yep, here it is. My first ever fan fiction.

Enjoy!

Vanishing
(Forever Knight Fiction based on Mariah Carey's song "Vanishing")
By Becky Burns

If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would

Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly

He sat at the bar. Glass in hand. Half full. He stared at the contorted
reflection of himself in the glass and remembered her. How he
longed to have her with him. Her love of life, her love of knowledge,
and her love of him. How he wanted those memories alive again.

He remembered the first time he saw her.  Her olive skin, flowing
blond hair, and her innocent blue eyes looking down compassionately at
him as he weakened to his knees with fatigue.  The touch of her warm
skin to his as she helped him rise.  He recalled the following evening
looking up at the stars with her.  She spoke of how she wanted to learn
about the wonders of it all.  He wanted so much to teach her.  He
presented her with a single rose to show his love for her.  As the music
in the bar lingered as closing hour approached, so did his memories of
her warm smile.

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood

//Maybe it was his words.//  He thought to himself as he poured
himself another glass.  //Why did I listen?  You would be with me had
I not listened.  I wouldn't be tormenting myself like this.  At the time,
I thought he was right.  You're innocence was what drew me to you
and was what made me want you all the more.  I was so wrong to
have listened to him.  Damn him for it.//

Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly

With each year that goes by, a small piece of her fades away into
the recesses of his memory.  It became difficult to remember the
delicate features of her face and how smooth her skin was as he
caressed her. The light that she had brought into his life was beginning
to fade.  The darkness was returning as quickly as the morning sun
rose above the skyline.

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence To grasp

//I have searched across the ages.// He thought aloud as he paced
around the now empty bar.  All the party animals had gone to slumber.
But he remained.  Alone.  //I have found no one who has compared to
your innocence or beauty.  The only remainder of your life I have is
either the memories I have of you or the man who kept us apart.//

And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
Lord knows I would
And now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly

The glass he held tightly in his grasp suddenly was thrusted across
the room, smashing against the wall behind the bar.  //Oh how I wish
I could bring you back to me!  We were meant to be together.  I don't
want to forget you.  But that part of me that you captured so quickly
is dying to the point of minuscule proportions.  The light that you
brought into my world is now growing dim and it will not be
rekindled again.

I love you, Fleur and I shall always keep a part of you with me.
No matter how minute the memory is, you will be a part or me forever.

You're vanishing`       `
                         Drifting away` `
                                                      You're vanishing`                 Away

What to do with this Blog

So, I've figured out what I'm going to use this blog for.

I love to write but singing is my thing. That's the one thing I know I'm always good at. But, something that a lot of people don't know is that I love to write.

I mostly write fanfiction. Most know what fanfiction is but for those that don't it is stories written using characters from a television show, book, song, or movie.

The first fanfiction was for the show Forever Knight. The first story I had posted was a one-shot called Vanishing, based on the song of the same name by Mariah Carey. It received fairly good reviews. This made me want to write more, so I did. The last story I did was the biggest thing I could possibly do. It took me a year since I was working and writing at the same time and I'm such a perfectionist when it comes to accuracy and grammer. I was rather happy at the outcome.

But I put it on hold for a time. I had to find another passion to write about.

It took quite a number of years but I did and I'm writing again.

Thank you, Doctor Who!

It may be slow in being posted but It will be.


Stay tuned!
