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.

Buy some new shoes, or a new awesome outfit! Or maybe splurge on some CDs or DVDs!

...I first read that as "beating fics." Cue me imagining you enjoying domestic violence, an then followed by an image of someone physically assaulting a story. hm. I'm going back to bed right now, don't worry.

Also, David Bowie and I share a birthday! I was so happy to discover this fact in high school after years and years of "omg Elvis!" every January 8th. I can gladly accept Bowie. Old enough to be my father, gorgeous enough for me to not care in the slightest.

I agree with the clothes. Or tickets to see something fun!

I shall not ask about point 3 there, since I failed spectacularly at helping you last time and I basically need somebody to read it right now (goddamn no_tags), but I shall keep you in mind for next time (hey, big bang? You want to be one of my first-round beta people?).

New shoes! New shoes are the best way of blowing cash, because shoes are awesome and also a necessity. No one can yell at you for being pointless if you buy things that are a requirement!

Boots! And a pretty journal. Oooh, and earrings. Aaaaand a postcard. And a short story, or a book of short stories, or a book of poetry. And a poster!

'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
