Classes start tomorrow, flist. I'm beginning to think it will be a Good Thing. My brain is even more scattershot than is (relatively) normal. I'm at that weird halfway place where I'm sort of falling out of one fandom and into a new one while at the same time just kind of... drifting around. Therefore: intense obsession with lots of things! Like Merlin! And Paul Bettany! And Master and Commander and A Knight's Tale and Colin Morgan!

It's deeply frustrating. Mine is a monofannish nature not made for things like this. I can't settle, I can't focus, I have loads of energy and nothing to center it on. I remember this climbing-the-walls feeling from leaving Due South; it'll fade eventually, I know it will. In the meantime, though? There's a constant pressing need to be flailing over something and telling someone just why it is the most awesomely awesomest thing ever to awesome, and Friend is about to reach through the internet to STAB me in the FACE.

(Case in point: some kind soul uploaded Midnight, the episode of Doctor Who CM's in, to youtube, and I've sent Friend eleventy billion IMs about how it's brilliant and also Colin is ridiculously attractive in emo clothes. He agrees with these things, but just. There's a difference between fannish people and non-fannish, and that difference is that he can only talk about it for so long before bashing his head against a wall.)

IDK. I guess, in summary, it's shocking how much I need a fandom to keep me grounded? /o\

You can maybe to be providing a link? *Smiles prettily* I couldn't find one.

And I hope that going back to college gives you a way to anchor yourself *hugs*

That... would have been helpful information to provide, wouldn't it? /o\ Starts here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwLDf-diAyM) and the subsequent parts can be found in that user's profile. (Seriously, Vonnie. He's so hot.)

I felt weird talking about it at all because I don't know if it really makes sense? But just getting it out there helped a lot. Part of it might just be stir craziness from being cooped up at home for so long. Here's hoping. *crosses fingers*

It doesn't help to be feeling like this when you have nothing pressing to do, like classes or papers or whatever, because there is too much TIME for flailing about. Personally, I'm totally in favour of the Paul Bettany flailing because it's nice to have someone more or less at the same stage of OMG as me.

But for your sake, I hope you find some equilibrium soon. *squishes more*

(BTW, I watched M&C again the other night. And by 'watched' I mean skipped most of it except the PB parts. La la la.)

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of this is due to not having anything else demanding my attention. Once I've got homework baying at me, things may change. And I really do feel better just having talked about it.

(OMG, cat, I'm still all asdlkfjadkfj over him. I totally "watch" M&C like that all the time. Plot is lovely, but when I only want to spend half an hour? Skipping to the slashy bits it is. I think I need to see AKT again this evening. *ponders*)

Huh. Can't say that I fully understand this, because I'm only monofannish in the short term :P Meaning I'm only really fixated on one fandom at a time, usually, but my obsessions have a cyclic nature. Yet when it happens that two(or, god forbid more) obsessions are trying to battle for my attention at the same time, it's really distracting and I often end up so torn between them that I end up reading or whatever in a third one to calm down a bit :P

OMG I saw A Knight's Tale again the other day(I'd only seen it when it was new) and how could I have forgotten how AWESOME it was?! I'm barely restraining myself from looking for fics now, cause it's really not the time. I'll probably fold at some point :P

Need to see the DW, too. (Daviid! I don't really want another Doctor :( )

When I get well and truly caught up in something I generally concentrate on that and that alone for the nine or ten months my attention span seems to hold. This problem wouldn't have happened at all if Merlin hadn't gone into hiatus, like, a week after I got into it. I needed just a little more time to settle in completely. Stupid hiatus. *kicks it*

ISN'T IT SO MUCH FUN? Saw it aaaages ago, but I watched it again because catwalksalone fell head over heels for it. If you weren't too busy for reading, I would inform you that she's also written fic. But you are, so I've said nothing. Nothing at all. Ahem.

I'm a bit the same. It's always awful going through a regeneration. *is still a Nine girl at heart* But, at the same time and because I am a contrary little wench, I'm also determined to give Matt Smith a chance if only because so many people have decided he's the Worst Thing Evar. (There's a rant in there about the rampant ageism I've seen that I won't get into because it's wanky and obnoxious.)

[nyn17.livejournal.com]

I may or may not have just read and loved all of that fic that you didn't mention. I have to see the movie again asap :P Speaking of fandom overload I feel like this one could suck me in *headdesk*

I was monofannish with my first fandom (Buffy) for like... 3 or 4 years, so I suppose I used up my quota *l*.

Yeah, I was a bit miffed when everyone started complaining because of the guy's age, too. I mean, actually I, too find him too young for my idea of the Doctor(yes, I know he's so old that any human age is inacurate :P), but I can't judge him before I've seen him play the role. I just like Ten a lot. And, weirdly, started liking Nine -after- I'd watched Ten for a while.

*claps happily* Her cat-ness is brilliant. And bwahahahaha YES. It's about time I start pulling people down instead of getting pimped into stuff myself. *evil glee*

Whoa. That is a LONG TIME. You've used up your quota for the next twenty years AT LEAST.

That's exactly how I feel too. I was holding out hope for Paterson Joseph, so I get how Matt Smith might be a shock and/or disappointment, especially considering his age. But the amount of hate out there is just outrageous. And, IDK, after having watched him in interview and seen a couple more pics I really can see him suiting the role. I trust the producers to not be COMPLETELY idiotic. If they think he's capable, then he most likely is.

I was head over heels for Nine right from the start. I don't think there'll ever be a Doctor I love as much as him. &Eccleston; It took me I don't even remember how many episodes to get over it and like Ten.
