His Writing, Incidentally, Looks A Bit Like That Of Someone I Know.
I received a truly amazing card through the post today, apparently from Derren Brown, which means that his psychic powers are even more impressive than I'd realised, because this isn't the address I included with the ukulele. It had me laughing so hard that my housemate thought I had lost my mind, which was an opinion that did not appear to be altered when she actually read it. I wanted to show it to you, but, sadly, not one of the photographs I took with my housemate's extremely blurry digital camera was readable.
Here is a description instead.
The envelope says, WARNING: THIS ENVELOPE CONTAINS MAGIC, SUGGESTION, PSYCHOLOGY, MISDIRECTION & SHOWMANSHIP. (Plus, pure evil + devil beards.)
The inside left: *POST TO YOUR LJ WHEN YOU GET THIS*
(Sometimes I can't be bothered with subtle manipulation. Just do it.)
(And, hey, you don't refuse a request from Derren Brown. You can't refuse a request from Derren Brown.)
The inside right reads as follows:
Dear Harriet,
I hope you don't mind me writing to you like this, but I can't help but be aware of the intense mental energy you've been devoting to me recently.
Seeing as I get many, many lunatics writing to me and proposing marriage (Coops filters them out for me), I thought it was time the tables were turned. Over the next few weeks, I will subliminally manoeuvre you until you end up in a church, where I will be waiting to marry you. At that time, I will of course allow you to choose what you do. Of course, I might manipulate your choice. I'm evil like that. *nod nod nod*
See you soon,
Derren
-x-
P.S. You might want to get your housemates to check their keys and change the code on your burglar alarm, if you have one.
It strikes the balance between charming and creepy perfectly and I adore it. Thank you so much, 'Derren'; you have completely made my day!
This seems an appropriate time to repost one of my favourite memes: the Hey, Let's Blur The Boundaries Between Fiction And Reality meme (or the informal roleplaying meme, if you prefer).
Ask any character you think I might be able to manage a question, and I'll reply in-character as them with an answer (or possibly reply as myself going 'WHAT THE HELL, I CAN'T DO THIS'). Feel free to ask either as yourself or as another character.
Real people are not out of bounds, but obviously this is just for fun and I am not actually claiming to be any real person. Um, apart from, you know, me. I'm real.

I wish to ask Derren Brown if he has ever considered manipulating Stephen Fry into fomenting a revolution. Because it would succeed. It would succeed.

I'd like to ask Jeremy Clarkson why his jeans are so tight. I'd also like to ask Stephen Fry why he agreed to have dinner with Derren Brown. Don't you know it's dangerous

You - you weren't expecting me to answer that question as you, were you?

The Master
11:05 Apparently Big Ears doesn't like Twittering at cabinet meetings. Spoilsport.
11:06 Apparently Big Ears doesn't like being called Big Ears.
11:17 Cabinet really boring. Think I'll gas them.
11:20 Early lunch! Excellent.
(...)
18:26 Thinking of getting a pet rabbit. Name ideas?
19:14 Change of plan. Getting a pet Time Lord instead. Calling him Fluffy.
19:37 Don't worry about the decimation, by the way. I'm not killing anyone following me on Twitter.
19:39 Except you, notisabella. Nobody cares about your vampire boyfriend angst.

Also, would you find it charming or weird if I made and sent you a beadwork picture of Oliver at some point in the future?
Guy on one of Riona's icons who appears to be wearing a blindfold; who are you?
Dean Winchester and Toph; now that you've suddenly met, what do you make of each other?
Hammond
Erm, maybe both? I'd like it; I'd just have to make sure Jeremy and James never saw it.

Also, have you ever considered a career in piracy?

So so cool.
Though, now that I put things in context...
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU GUYS. HOW ARE YOU SO PERSUASIVE?]

I'm just sayin'.
Maybe he really did want that ukelele. :P
Re: Though, now that I put things in context...
...I am not entirely sure of how I feel about Derren Brown reading all my creepy fangirling.
I love this meme so freaking much.
Dr. The Todd: I have been watching you lately, and what I wanna know is, what happened between you and Kelso in Mexico? Cause your eagerness to go just astounds me. I mean, you do realize it's Kelso, right?
And to Dr. Wilson: When are you going to confess your undying love for a certain cranky diagnostician? We all know it's true, we're just waiting for one of you to say something.
Also, to Derren Brown: You've obviously been reading Riona's fangirlings of you; how do you feel about them?

IfWhen JD and Turk become fans of Derren, and start wearing shirts, pants, hats, shoes, and tattoos with Derren's face all over them, what would Dr. Cox think? o:It's produced a funny drabble for me, though it's more fun to actually think about.
no subject
Oh, man, JD would try to hypnotise people, and it would be completely ineffective. Also adorable. And I'm sure Dr Cox would have quite a lot to say about it, especially given Derren's sexuality.
