Nothing's gonna hurt you in these golden years

[extemporally]

I OWE EVERYONE EMAILS AND COMMENTS AND THINGS. I am very, very sorry. This does not mean I do not love you guys! It's not you, it's me.

1. I have a really, really paltry paycheck. It is in fact Baby's First Paycheck! Besides that whole feeding myself thing, what should I do? Books are out, as still have book tokens from Xmas (I am carefully conserving them so I can buy a book any time of the year when I am in really serious need of one.)

2. ... and it was my last day at work! On the way home I ate red bean cake and listened to Golden Years on my ipod. I feel like win. \o/

3. How much did I miss betaing fics? A LOT. Guys, it's so fun. *____________* If any of you want me to do anything to your fics, btw, I will probably say yes. I will also probably be v faily with the whole getting back to you thing, BUT I WILL BE ENTHUSIASTIC.

4. So David Tennant essentially wrote RPF fic about himself. How much do I love him, you guys? A whole lot, is the answer.

Now it begins to sink in that he's actually left ;_____________;

5. Why do people think Old school Who fans are crazy, though? I mean, I'm genuinely curious, 'cos I lurked a lot around that portion of Doctor Who fandom, and I didn't find them all that crazy. Cranky, sure, but... pretty sane.

6. No really, tell me what to do with my money. I wish to be frivolous, but there is nothing I actually really want or feel is worthy of my blowing a Symbolic Paltry Sum on!

7. I wish to note that four days ago, it was actually David Bowie's birthday. I missed it, because I'm crap at birthdays. But happy belated birthday, dude. You're kind of pretty old.

'wup wup wup'.

that's what 'golden years' always makes me think of.

yay for money. did you decide? btw i think you maybe missing the point slightly of 'frivolous' if you also want this thing to be 'worthy'. you see? just blow it on magazines and lollies if you want to be really frivolous! otherwise i vote shoes. :D

DON'T LET ME HEAR YOU SAY LIFE'S TAKING YOU NOWHERE

oh Bowie, you and your convoluted double negatives. *g*

I decided! I'll probably be donating to Haiti, and also buying a couple of Bowie on vinyl if I can hunt those down. Diamond Dogs on vinyl!! (I have recently discovered that my parents actually still own a gramophone, what.) Also, agreed wrt the 'worthy frivolity' -- I simply want the best of both worlds, it seems. :D

yeah, the haiti thing put a different perspective on the 'frivolous' thing.

bowie on vinyl is never a bad thing. i won't tell you about all the bowie i used to have on records from when they first came out that i don't own anymore, because it would be too depressing for us both...

You should tell me anyway. What happened to them? D:

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

oh man... ok. i became involved in a very full on church when i was 16. and i broke/burnedallmyrecordsbecausetheyweren'tgodly.

D: D: D:

well, at least they went out with a bang?

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

yeah. and a smash and shooting flames.

*sigh*

i feel nauseous now when i think of what i got rid of.

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU! :P
