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.

Ah. Sorry. I'm Scottish and that's what we call them. And how can a jumper define your identity?

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

I'd still like it back. 

You don't know who I am?

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.

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.

YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! 

Who are you anyway to have MY sweater on in a magazine? A Model?

Sorry but I told you I liked this JUMPER. Me? A model? Oh no!  I'm not a model.  

I'm a actor.

Well, we've been going back & forth with this for a few hours.  I don't have to work (thus the comment in the picture) and it's been quite a bit since I've been online. Tell me.

OY! Now, I don't brag about being a good actor.  I've had my fair share of work as well as unemployment.  

As a matter of fact, I just finished 3 years playing the lead character on a show.

Perhaps if you were offering some type of reward, I may consider returning it. 

I'm a patron of quite a few charities in my country and they would be pleased with any contribution they could get.  No matter how small since right now, the American dollar isn't worth much here.

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..

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.
