Congratulations are in order. I actually got out of bed, made lunch, and ate it at the table like a human being. So for all of you who were kind enough to show your concern, progress.

And now I'm back in bed.

And I still can't watch the telly because everything reminds me of him and I still don't have it in me to go back to the TARDIS and get my things and I still can't think about anything for more than a few minutes without thinking of him and why the hell does it have to be this way? And I know there are other things going on right now but the first damn person who tells me my priorities aren't in order is going to get

[John]

Thank you for the biscuits. Wish I were better company right now. The rest will likely be stale by the time I get over there so you may as well eat them.

[Filtered to Jules, Elena, and Jenny]

Before this world screws up my plans again, we're going to pick out your dresses, ladies. Tomorrow afternoon work or should I reschedule?

Also, I want to know how Elena gets to find a knight of Camelot and I get stuck finding Robin Hood's nemesis and a traitor to the crown. Un. Fair.

So, my favourite shopping maven with the brilliant sense of style. Would you be interested in giving your opinion on some bridesmaid dresses after work tomorrow?

[Filtered to Abby]

No pressure, of course, if shopping isn't really your thing, but would you like to come along and help pick out my bridesmaid dresses?

So. Ladies, leave your men at home tonight. Pub crawl is definitely happening. If you're of age or have a fake ID and you're not a dude, be in the complex lobby in an hour and we're lightin' it up.

...contrary to popular belief, Chloe, you don't actually get a choice. Just throwing that out there. Mel & Rose, you either.

I better see lots of drunk posts and ridiculous pictures or I will be super disappointed in the whole lot of you. ;)

[Danielle]
Breaking the 'of age' rule for you. Be downstairs in an hour, bitch, we're doin' it up!

You know what? Screw you, Moriarty. I was supposed to go pick out bridesmaid dresses this week and you ruined it. Thanks for that, asshole. Now I have to keep shopping online and waiting.

What? My priorities are so in order.

[Filtered Against Moriarty]

Aside from that, has everyone been found okay? Kim? Mel?

Dads, can we go to a tropical beach?

ooc: In case you were wondering if you're a friend of Doreah's, she pretty much sent the invitation out to everyone who has ever been kind to her, including Peeta and Jenny as well. And Jaime. She has to be civil with him now.

Being the end of the week, I say it's the perfect time for us to get together. Food, drinks, and conversation. What do you say?

I've decided that I don't really like being underground.

Do you feel as awful as I do? Like nothing will ever be good again and everything hurts every time you move?

Is having a birthday very important? Because I don't think I have one of those.

Hello again everyone! If you're all still here. I hope you are.

I've decided to cook a turkey.

We may not be from this country or indeed this world but we have much to be thankful for and many to remember.

Be at the TARDIS by three tomorrow.

And then there were two. Slipping away, back to where we're from. Free to live their lives. Twisting and pulling and spiraling. Gone.

Um, so...I think I want to have Thanksgiving at my place for the first time ever. Anyone interested in coming should let me know so that I can get a headcount. I'd love any and all of you to be there...

[Dean, Ben, and Allana]

I'm thinking of having Thanksgiving at my place this year...I know that you've got your own family families, but if you guys wanted to make an appearance at some point, I just wanted to let you know that you're all welcome to.

So! What's everyone been up to lately? Sorry. I've been a bit distracted. It isn't often I get lost in my own ship, but I managed to do it this time. Well, I didn't get lost so much as distracted. Well, I didn't get distracted so much as I lost track of time. Well, I didn't lose track of time so much as focus on digging through parts of the TARDIS I haven't visited in years for something to do. It'd be a bit daft for a Time Lord to lose track of time, wouldn't it? Anyway! I found a cricket set. Don't suppose anyone's up for a game. It's a bit British, cricket, although I don't see what the hang-up is about the rules. They're terribly straightforward. At least, I think so.

Dean, I lost my shorts and my shirt....and my shoes.

Have you seen them?

And dude, I'm hungry and bored.

Hey there, men in my life...I'm pregnant, not fucking retarded. Just saying.

Did you know there are eight different regions of cuisine in China? And did you know that every single one of them is really good? And did you know not a single one of them tastes like Chinese takeout?

My mouth is in danger of being on fire for the rest of my life, but that's another story.

More importantly, did you know that Pandas prefer their bamboo in a plant and not from chopsticks? They're also actually kind of boring to watch. I guess if I were a bear I'd sleep most of the day, too.

I'm not too sure about this idea of Halloween...it sounds rather...primitive, I suppose is the word? Or is it really the best sort of thing to do here, with it's traditional elements regarding the dead and all?


The essential elements of Halloween - lighting bonfires, costuming, trick-or-treating, telling ghost stories and attending parties can all be traced back to Samhain celebrations as early as 2000 years ago. Ultimately, the Celts believed that on October 31, the Lord of Death (Saman), would call together all the souls that had died the previous year in order for them to travel to the afterlife. Thus, the living would often disguise themselves in ghoulish costumes in order for the spirits of the dead to think they were one of their own, and pass by them without incident. The villagers would also wear masks and form parades in order to lead the spirits (souls) out of the town. The Celts would also offer food to Saman, in order to persuade him to more be temperate when he is judging their ancestors. This is seen as a precursor to "trick-or-treating", a key component of modern day Halloween celebrations.

So, I'm feeling pretty lucky today. Who wants to go with me to look for baby stuff after dinner? I can feel it in my bones...there's a sale somewhere, and I'm gonna find it!
