Going Crazy from the Lack of Sleep

[lesbiassparrow]

Seriously, if this insomnia lasts much longer I will be certifiably insane and posting wank like there's no tomorrow.

Today I wrote up the perfect wanktastic post: pompous, filled with snotty rage, containing CAPSLOCK OF RAGE, and just about everything else you could imagine. It was like the perfect storm of wank. Luckily sanity kicked in and I made it private and then later deleted it.

But if this continues I will not be able to stop myself. Wank will be posted! All I'm asking is please do not take it seriously if it occurs. I will be suitably ashamed of myself once I get more than four hours sleep a night.

Anyone got any cures for insomnia apart from drinking yourself into a stupor? Because I've tried that one and it is not working so well.

Well if you pick a topic maybe I can wank to order? At this stage I would probably wank over sandwich fillings.

Hey, this could be a whole new aspect of LJ! Not a good one, mind you, but new.

Sort of like "I want a fic with Rose and Ten married, then Nine drops in and they all argue about whether they should have babies, and oh, there should be root beer floats", only for wank?

Anyway, the rant that I'm not ranting about is people who bring fluff expectations to a dark show. There exist fluff shows. Go watch "Seventh Heaven". Go watch "Sleepless In Seattle". But don't watch a show which is often concerned with death and loss and despair and then complain and/or write fix-it fic when there are emotional complications.

This is not "Bringing Up Baby", nor was meant to be.

Sigh. That was me.

Note: I *like* Bringing Up Baby.

Actually, no! I think it came from a comment on someone else's journal which just blew my mind from wierd logic plus smugness about... Oh, I'm not even going there. Because wank will flow! You can email me if you feel the need to know all. (But it is really stupid and if I wasn't half-delirious from lack of sleep it would have made me giggle.)

I don't actually care if people on shipper communities want fluff and happily ever after, though it's not something I particularly want to read or think that the show will deliver. I figure that's what they're there for and if you're expecting a shipper community to be all happy about one part of a couple snogging another person, then you've missed the point of a shipper community. It does become a problem if a) shippers go wild elsewhere and go to war on every website, journal, community devoted to the show and b) if people expect the shippers to defy human nature and embrace the opposite of what they watch the show for.

Though, dear god, I do not want to see babyfic! Though it's inevitable given that apparently two people who travel together must want marriage and babies above all else. And babies apparently cure all problems in a relationship! This is why I do not read those sort of stories.

And I like Bringing up Baby too.

BTW, I also agree with the expectations thing. Though some of that might have to do with the beginning of this season being oddly bouncy in some regards though dealing with dark issues, which led people to expect the cheeriness to continue.

I'm just looking forward to Cybermen, myself. Plus not being hit over the head with the lonely theme. I think I may have earned an episode where someone doesn't explictly point that out about the doctor.
