I'm Just Waiting For The Lottery Numbers.

Rewatching the 'Simon Says' episode of Supernatural, I have come to the conclusion that Andy and Ansem are Derren Brown. Both of them. Andy represents the adorkable, getting-along-with-people, taking-delight-in-everything side; Ansem represents the eeeeeeevil. Of course, this means that Derren's eeeeeeevil side is hopelessly in love with his good side. I am not sure of how that works.

Seriously, where is my twisted and terrifying Ansem/Andy? The Supernatural fandom just lets the most obvious incestuous pairings pass it by. (Derren Brown/himself would also be acceptable.)


On Friday night, a friend of mine invited me to the pub. She told me to meet her at Notting Hill Gate. I, being useless, called her up an hour later to say 'Tottenham Court Road, right?', and she quickly corrected me.

At the pub with us was a man called Adam, whom I had met only a couple of times before. He was going to a party afterwards, he said: a friend had invited him; he didn't really know the person organising it. Alessandra something.

'Not Alessandra Surnameson?' I asked.

As it turned out, yes, this random guy was going to my childhood friend's birthday party.

As it turned out, this party was in Tottenham Court Road.

I HAVE PSYCHIC POWERS. CLEARLY, SENDING A UKULELE TO DERREN BROWN HAS CAUSED ME TO FORM SOME SORT OF WEIRD SOULBOND WITH HIM. I did not mean to form a soulbond with Derren Brown! I mean, not that I object to suddenly having incredible psychic abilities, but this was totally not my intention.

(I expressed my theory that the weird coincidences were Derren Brown's fault to another friend I hadn't seen in about a decade, who also happened to be at Alessandra's party (hey, the fates were clearly demanding that I go), and her boyfriend. It turned out that the boyfriend knew Peter Clifford and had been inside Derren's old flat. SERIOUSLY. CRAZY PSYCHIC UKULELE-OWNER SOULBONDS. WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS COMING? (Apparently, Derren had put bookshelves on the inside of the door to disguise it as a bookcase. I rather like that. And the boyfriend thought a ukulele would have fit in very well, which is reassuring.))


I am becoming a little more uneasy with every day that goes by without any feedback from Operation: Ukulele. Calm down, Riona! You only posted it half a week ago, and that wasn't directly to him. Worst-case scenario: Derren Brown thinks that you are a bit odd. He says in his book that 'gifts have arrived too creepy to mention', so you're certainly not going to be amongst the worst.

UNLESS HE HAS A UKULELE PHOBIA.

ps. I think you should write a fic where Sam saved Dean from Hell via a psychic ukulele soulbond.

Funnily enough, I'm now marathoning Supernatural again (I know I'm crazy) because a friend of mine wants to watch it so I agreed I'd watch with. On rewatching (for me) Simon Says, we had a conversation along the lines of:

"Now that's being creepily in love with your sibling."
"Yep."
"So if people like incest fics why is there no incest here? It would make more sense!"

...My conversations are weird, apparently.

Maybe you should have thought of the consequences before you sent him that ukulele. Because now you not only have his psychic powers, but I'm sure that you'll become slowly more terrifying and strangely sexy as you use them for both good and evil, and you'll convince people it's a good idea to kidnap other people, and one day you'll just turn into Derren Brown.

He says in his book that 'gifts have arrived too creepy to mention', so you're certainly not going to be amongst the worst.

If he gets gifts like most celebrities, you definitely won't be the worst. If I ever got famous I'd love a surprise ukulele inamongst the undergarments and... whatever else famous people get as gifts.

John Barrowman was once gifted a dildo with his action figure strapped on top. A ukulele for Derren Brown is just quirky and awesome, not creepy.

Your posts must be secretly manipulating people with your Derren Brown entries, since I randomly found myself reading his life story on Wikipedia on Friday.

I want a special bond with someone! I just need to figure out who would make the most interesting one...

MAYBE THE UKULELE GOT LOST IN THE POST.

I would just like to take the time to tell you how much I adore and enjoy your posts, as I have nothing else intelligent to say right now.

I really like that he turned his door into a bookcase. Just when I thought I couldn't adore him more...

My friend [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I had a conversation while waiting for a bus today, and came to the conclusion that 'dastardly' fits Derren Brown more accurately than 'evil'.

I'll bet anything that Derren thinks the ukulele is cute. Weird, but cute. You may have a very nice thank-you note on the way, possibly written on nice stationery with a fountain pen at his suspiciously Dumbledoreish study. These things merely take time to compose and mail.

Or his people are checking it for explosives and secret anthrax, and will be passing it on as soon as they've verified that it is, in fact, the Ukulele of Charming Eccentricity, not the Ukulele of Death. At which point he will receive it and be charmed.

And you already have enough frightening powers without Derren Brown-style mind control. Or do you have Derren Brown-style mind control? Is that how you're always getting people to write things?

"I did not mean to form a soulbond with Derren Brown!"

I better be invited to your wedding on the astral plane!

I'm thinking that I might have to start watching Supernatural. Not specifically because of this post ( doubtless that would say volumes about me) but because I have heard so much about it that now I am intrigued.

Um, I am very late to this, but it's been worrying me. (Er, I am weird?) How do you disguise a door as a bookcase? Stick a bookcase onto the door? Or put up shelves on the door? How are the hinges strong enough to hold all the books?

*confused me is confused*
