I'll Ignore The Latter Part Of Your Utterance.

Charlie Brooker wished the man who uploads his programmes onto YouTube a happy birthday via Twitter! I find this ridiculously endearing. Also endearing: David Mitchell. 'Slightly upset that @Cheesoid, a robot in a sketch I wrote, isn't even following me. Hate self! Hate self!'

I was initially confused about the purpose of Twitter, but I have now realised that its primary function lies in allowing celebrities to be completely adorable. I'm all for that. And I have absolutely no idea why the Cheesoid sketch amuses me as much as it does.

Speaking of Brooker and Mitchell, as if I haven't been speaking about them constantly for the past month: my fic-in-progress in which Gym Leader Brooker teaches Mitchell to be a Pokémon trainer is at four thousand words and counting.

On the one hand, it feels so good to be writing again. On the other: this is ridiculous. It is an absurd crossover AU for a barely-existent fandom! I still have fifteen thousand words to write for university! But I am having so much fun.


Here are some confusing scribblings I have found in my not-very-academic academic diary recently:

- right-wing children's book: Hitler Has Two Mommies (I think this was probably based on a mishearing.)
- There is a guy at my university who looks like Gang Leader Joe Jonas. (Or perhaps just a gang member? In any case, he's in a gang.)
- Lovesick Student Breaks Into Morgue With Axe (I saw this on a newspaper billboard and noted it down with the intention of finding out the story behind it later. I'm still wondering.)
- The crossroads demon in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (the Supernatural episode) is oddly reminiscent of Derren Brown. Note that Sam, of course, would have snogged this demon had he succeeded in making a deal. (Intriguing.)
- you can see the kittens he's eaten swimming in his eyes. (deranged thought about Owen Harper had in the process of w[unclear]king. WAKING, not WANKING.)
- Man-Spider: rather rubbish spider superhero. A SPIDER WITH THE POWERS OF A MAN.

Also, I just came across the line 'Does Jane ogle Rigsby at the end there?' and, as my handwriting is terrible, misread it as 'Does Jane ogle Ruby at the end there?'

Patrick Jane/Ruby of Supernatural? He would infuriate her. She would scare him, although he'd disguise it fairly effectively. I'd read it. (Perhaps Jane is one of the psychic children and deeply in denial about it! Ruby will help you develop your powers, Jane.)

I wonder what kind of adventures Man-Spider would have... He works in an office! KAPOW! He puts the kettle on! ZOOM! He opens his post with his eight legs and it's all bills!

Man-Spider: rather rubbish spider superhero.

I'm almost certain I've seen this in a sketch show of some sort. (Aha! He was one of the villains in Burnt Face Man (http://www.burntfaceman.com/). I remember now.)

There is a guy at my university who looks like Gang Leader Joe Jonas.

I am requesting an MS Paint deptiction of this guy.

Unrelated to pretty much everything you've written, but I met someone the other day who went to the same school as Derren Brown and was taught swimming by his dad. WHOO. YEAH.

The other purpose of Twitter, ime, is to allow celebrities to flirt like crazy. Ben Goldacre and Robin Ince are especially good for this.

You sound like Charlie Brooker. :D

I Googled the axe headline - in case you haven't, it's an article from the Argus, here (http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/4776152.Bognor_student_breaks_into_morgue_to_check_if_girl_is_dead/).

"Lovesick Student Breaks Into Morgue With Axe"
That's... odd. Because nothing says 'I love you' like a stolen corpse?

"The crossroads demon in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (the Supernatural episode) is oddly reminiscent of Derren Brown."
*starts giggling*
In my crossover fic (in which Derren is... not quite human), he tells Sam (Tyler, not Winchester unfortunately) about how he used to hang about at crossroads. I'm not sure he was making deals though, he was probably just messing with peoples' heads.

That XTheMusic person is brilliant! And I rather like Gameswipe, even if Dara O'Briain and his ideas on improving Rock Band by adding a 'give the promotor a blowjob' level are a bit worrying.

I really, really, really want to read Man-Spider.

Does Owen have swimmy dead kittens in his eyes? (I get horribly confused because every day my commute to work takes me past Ram Jattan's, and part of my brain insists on transposing letters, so I frequently go "Huh, Rat Jam...tan's? Ah, no!"

The fic you're writing when you have a deadline for something else is often the most satisfying fic to write.

I LOVE MAN-SPIDER. In fact, I love all crap superheroes built to this model. Toilet Duck! A duck bitten by a radioactive toilet! With all the powers of a toilet! Does whatever a toilet can!

I'm 12 by the way.
