4 gig or 8 gig...  
So, I need a new mp3 player and I'm thinking about getting a Creative Zen V. I need to choose between a 4 gig and an 8 gig and I'm not sure what to get. Is it worth spending the extra cash to get 8 gigs (about $36 more) or just settle for the 4 gig one?

It is a dilemma and I'm a thrifty person (with my own money anyway and when I'm not at ChicagoTARDIS lol) so I'm not quite sure what to do..

Fanart: One Too Many Banana Daquris  
I am such a dork... lol Completely crack art, but there *is* an explanation....




So the Doctor has had far too many banana daquris and wound up in bed with an Elvis impersonator. Yep.

Okay, before I can begin to explain the crack here, I need to place blame on my Vitamin Water bottle label....

And I quote -

"And if you're like our boss, and woke up married to an Elvis impersonator you probably need a lawyer"

C'mon... How was I supposed to resist that? XD

Song My dad came up with....  
I have officially poisoned my dad's mind... lol He used to be just a Fourth Doctor Fanboy with minimal fandom experience. But after dragging him to two conventions and making him listen to my long analytical rants on the Doctor and Rose I have cracked him! He now listens to the radio and tells me songs that remind him of Doctor Who ^_^ I find it hilarious ;) But he actually came up with a *really* good song! He told me he heard this song called Missing You and said it was perfect for the Doctor and Rose, so I looked it up.
 
Missing You - John Waite
 
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath The Doctor can't stop thinking about Rose, like whenever her name is mentioned he pauses and then replies
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away He's stuck in the other universe, standing all alone on the other side
And I'm wondering why you left  he's stuck wondering why it all had to happen and why they had to be separated
And there's a storm that's raging The Doctor is the oncoming storm
Through my frozen heart tonight  The Doctor has become so cold and detached from humanity and feelings lately without Rose
I hear your name in certain circles When he talks to Jack and to everyone who's known Rose
And it always makes me smile He still loves her and wants her to be happy so he acts like he's okay...
I spend my time
Thinking about you ...Even though inside he's dying withot her
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight He's tarveling and living for so long alone and he'll need to do it without her (so he thinks)
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away The Doctor keeps telling himself that he's happy that she can have a good life and denies wishing she was there

I ain't missing you
No matter
What I might say Sometimes the Doctor acts selfish and admits he needs her but then hides it again behind saying that she's perfectly okay.

There's a message
In the wild
And I'm sending you
This signal tonight A signal like when the Doctor called Rose through the universes and woke her up to bring her to Bad Wolf Bay (I'm so proud of my dad for picking up on that detail ^_^)
You don't know
How desperate I've become He doesn't seem to be able to cope anymore and he's starting to crack
And it looks like I'm losing this fight he can't save everyone anymore and he's starting to loose lives and battles
In your world
I have no meaning He knows she needs to have moved on and feels he might not be important to her anymore in her new life/ he doesn't exist in the parallel world
Though I'm trying hard
To understand The Doctor is only now coming to terms with his loss, but he still strives for her even now
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I aint missing you at all
Since youve been gone away
I aint missing you
No matter what my friends say Even when Jack talks to Martha he can tell that the Doctor still loves Rose despite his claims to be happy that she's living her own life in the parallel world

And theres a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul Another similar thing to his message to her when he said her name and it made it to her through the universes
And if I can't bridge this distance Cross between the two worlds to find a way back to each other
Stop this heartbreak overload he needs her back because he's spiraling downward
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away

I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself  He knows he's lying to himself and that he really wishes to have her back and that he doesn't want her to have moved on which you can tell by his sharp remarks after she's mentioned or his quick change in subject
And there's a storm thats raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Ain't missing you 
I keep lying to myself
Aint missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I aint missing you

New mini-fic  
Well, since my hand has been hurting, I've been writing instead of drawing though my muse seems to still be out on holiday so all of my real projects are still on hold. *However* I've started a mini-fic with a definite set amount of chapters to get the cogs workin' again ^_^ I'll post as soon as I finish. I'm working on chapter 1 (the prologue is complete) and have the completed notes for chapters 2 through 4. It is called "Is There Life Out There?" and will center around Rose from past to present (yes, present, present) from Jimmy Stones to bad wolf to forever to Doomsday and beyond.

Needless to say, based upon "Is There Life Out There" by Reba McEntire.

She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some living
But now she's just wonderin'
What she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more

Chorus:
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change

Repeat chorus

There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again

Repeat chorus twice

Deep Breaths...  
 I just need to remember to take deep breaths.... Th fucking printer just broke on me so I could print my TruBasic program, my internet is freaking out, I have a paper due tomorrow and a huge quiz in Trig. Oh and my head is about to explode.... I'm actually shaking... Holy crap....

At least I have my health (sort of... bloody wisdom teeth...) I have to remember I could be waaay worse off. *breathe*

I hate whiners, there for I hate when I cath myself whining, but right now I can't really help it. Must keep a grip on sanity for the next 25 days until summer >_<

Fanart - 'Georgia Moffett as Jenny'  
After watching The Poison Sky yesterday and then seeing the promo for next week, I became inspired to draw a certain girl :)



I drew Georgia Moffett as Jenny from series 4 episode 6 of Doctor Who, 'The Doctor's Daughter'. I know minimal information and have been trying to keep it that way until the episode airs next Saturday, but I couldn't resist trying my hand at drawing her :) She seems like such an amazing character with some mad martial arts skillz (Venusian Aikudo anyone? XD). i've never drawn her before so it isn't perfect, but I don't think it turned out too horrible lol

Specs:
Medium - mechanical pencil
Time - 2 hours-ish (yeah, long for me...)

Hope you guys like it and I'd love to know what you think! ^_^

Fanart - 'Billie Piper as Belle De Jour'  
I wrote about half of a new chapter of One Night In Paris before I hit a dry spell and decided to draw. I ended up with this -



I drew another pic of Billie Piper from a Showtime Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I attempted to spend more time on shading instead of my usual 20 minutes sketches, so I actually spend more time on it ^_^ But alas, I am very impatient so I didn't spend as much time on it as I should have.

Specs:
Medium - Mechanical pencil on sketchbook paper
Time - 2 hours

I'd love to know what you all think! :)

Fanart - Doctor Who OCs 'Tori Tyler' & 'Rob Cole' and a teaser of their story...  
I've made two Doctor Who original characters awhile back, but I thought I'd actually draw them ^_^



This first one is Tori Tyler or her full name - Victoria Susan Jacquline Penelope Tyler. Susan for her niece, Jacquline for her grandmother and uncle Jack, Penelope for her father's mother. Born to her parents, The Doctor and Rose Tyler, she was a miracle child from the very beginning. Within 13 minutes of her birth, she was pronounced dead by the doctors. 13 minutes later, she no longer had brown eyes but was a strong healthy baby girl. She claimed victory, hence her name, over death in her first minutes of life in her very first regeneration. However, she still aged as any child would, her mother's DNA striving for normality. But as she grew, any chance of an average childhood melted away when by the age of 4 she tested through her A-Levels and by the age of 12 had more degrees than the most  honoured scientists and historians. Needless to say she'd spent her life attracting attention, even though her family lived an outwardly simple life. Her mum and dad both had respectable jobs at UNIT and she went about her days. But things had started to change - she feels and sees things she was certain couldn't exist. She is now nearly 18 and nightmares that force her to awake in the dead of night screaming and days filled with visions... And now her family has just moved to central London and things are about to only get worse.... Not to mention that pesky wolf problem...



This second character is Robert Cole. It is a mystery who is real parents are, though he does retain his mother's maiden name (if anyone can catch that, cookies for you! ^_^) His mother died giving birth, his father was nowhere to be found, his only evidence of having had parents - a ruby ring. He was shifted from family to family as a young boy until he was finally settled with his great great aunt by blood and uncle, Alastair Lethbridge-Stuart. He spent most of his childhood at boarding school, proving his genius and ultimately earning a PhD in quantum physics and astronomy and a Masters in psychology by the age of 16. Soon after he dropped out of university and ran away without a trace turning up in the Powell Estate in London 2 years later at which time he gave in and took a job as a junior scientific advisor of UNIT. During his time at UNIT he became increasingly interested in the existence of aliens, but despite his employer, he doubted them to be real. Disillusioned, he resigned and at 20 he once again found himself alone, without a job and without a future. But what he did have dreams and dark, dangerous urges and a never ending sound that haunts his nights - and a new passion from his time at UNIT, the theory of the existence of a certain doctor.

These two come together by chance meeting and 20 year old Rob and 16 year old Tori become inseparable mates upon her move to London. They find that they have more in common than meets the eye - dreams, feelings, intelligence. With a bit of luck and pleading, the lonely boy became a part of the girl's unorthodox family. There is more than what meets the eye to both and as events begin to unfold, no mystery, no secret will be left untouched.


Uh... yeah... So those are my OCs and a bit of background on the both of them :) Over the summer, when I have finished my other works, this will be incorporated into a massive fanfic. *_* Teehee

Fanart - 'Doctor & Rose' & 'Thank You'  
A bit more Ten/Rose art I did last week... Yep, I am still in must-draw-fluffy-squee mode. I believe it is incurable ;)



I'm very happy with how this turned out ^_^ It was my second attempt after the 'Block of Writing' pic to draw Chibi Doctor & Rose and I think they came out quite cute. Sort of inspired by the last scene of The Christmas Invasion, but I decided I wanted Rose to be in pink instead of black :)

Specs:
Medium - Mechanical pencil/ coloured pencil
Time - Drawing: 10 minutes/ Colour: 20 minutes



More adventures of Chibi Doctor & Rose! Yay! This picture actually started out as a whistling chibi!Rose, but some how she went from being carefree to crying from the Doctor's scoldings. I think the Doctor would actually be slightly angry, but he could never stay angry at her for long XD I really like how angry!Doctor turned out and the hug. ^_^

Specs:
Medium - Mechanical pencil/ coloured pencil
Time - Drawing: 20 minutes/ Colour: 30 minutes

I hope you all like them and I'd love to know what you think! Enjoy! ^_^

Fanart - 'Secret Diary of a Callgirl'  
I was home sick today (just a bit of a tummy ache, nothing serious ^_^) so I did a bit of fanart inspired by on the Secret Diary of a Callgirl promos from the Showtime website.



Sketch done of Billie from a Secret Diary of a Callgirl Showtime promo ^_^ I'm going to try and watch all of the episodes straight through again this weekend and I suddenly had the urge to draw something with Belle. Plus I love drawing Billie but rarely have the opportunity to draw her whole body and the position was very fun to sketch out. I quite like the way it turned out overall so I thought I'd share! :)

Specs:
Medium - mechanical pencil
Time - About an hour to draw and shade

Enjoy and please let me know what you think! :)

History Channel Documentary - Whoa....  
I was watching Monsterquest today on the History Channel. It was about some sort of flying things, but never mind that. One of the main scientists had an interesting name.

I can't make these things up...

His name was Doctor Who.

As in Dr. Who, as in Mr. Who PhD.

Just... Whoa....

I couldn't make this up if I wanted to....

Fanart - '...And the Baby'  
On Saturday I was going mad waiting to watch The Planet of the Ood and I needed to spend my time doing *something*, why not have that something be Doctor Who related? (Plus I needed some shipper squee)



So I spent that agonizing wait for my Who fix drawing Rose! i loved the entire beach scene in Doomsday, especially the now infamous '...and the baby' line, which inspired this drawing. there was so much heartfelt expression in Billie Piper's face that I'd always found this moment fascinating. Regardless of the viewer's opinion on the 'baby' controversy in the fandom, it was an amazing and emotional scene. I could only hope to capture the tiniest amount of that feeling. And Billie is always a beautiful woman and an absolute joy to draw ^_^

Specs:
medium - Mechanical pencil
Time - 15 minutes

As always I love the feedback and it really does help me ^_^ I'd love to know what you all think!

ACTS OVER!!!!  
ACTs are OVER! Yeah! PSAEs tomorrow but I'm not really worried. I think I actually did quite well for having taken no prep classes and never having opened the prep book XD I'm iffy on the math as I guessed on 3 or 4, but everything else EASY. I'm legally not allowed to discuss any of the questions, no seriously I had to sign a paper and everything.... -_- Oh well, to anyone who'd be bothering to read this that for a slim chance hasn't actually taken an ACT exam yet - school makes it seem like a bigger deal than it is. BY FAR.

I think I'll post a pic I drew on Saturday later while waiting for The Planet of the Ood.... I need some ZOMG ROSE!LOVE moment right now...


Random rant o' the day: Am I the only one utterly annoyed by Hannah Montana? I would usually say she wouldn't be worth my time to babble about but it just pisses me off how it seems Disney has brain washed children. I have nothing against pop music, but really, Billie Piper in her teen days could step on Miley Cyrus....

I need to write more (unschool-releated) things...  
I know I haven't updated any of my fics in about 2 months.... >_< I seem to be going through another writers' block from hell AGAIN. I feel horrible about this. I actually have 9 different ones I'm working on at the moment, so I haven't forgotten, honestly. All of my writing has been sucked dry by school and my creativity has been reduced to drawing because my brain refuses to think logically...

Damn English final project....
