"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer."

-D: You read Dune?-
Uh, no, I saw it in one of Yahtzee's reviews. *blush*
-D: *shakes head and rolls eyes*-
-MF: What's the reason for the quote?-
Well, I just finished setting up clockwork_doc for the nonce. His application's posted, he's got userpics, and I sent a request to join to beyondtherift, as well as an e-mail to the mods with the notice of my icon being ready. Speaking of icons, I'd like to thank everyone who's userpics I raided to get them: famira, foxywriter, and shonasheastwood. Thanks guys, much appreciated.
-TD: So what's the problem?-
Nerves.
-RPD: *turns solid and pats shoulder* What's there to be nervous about? You've roleplayed online before.-
On a solely BTTF board, with people I sorta knew beforehand. And you know what crack that rapidly turned into. This is a different ball game. Sure, martyfan and darkjediprinces are playing, but most of these other people are strangers. I know it doesn't seem it at times, but I'm actually very shy!
-RPD: You'll be fine! It's all just for fun.-
-TD: Don't worry overmuch. Ael's having fun, right?-
Yeah. . . .
-HD: *offers tea, as he does* It'll be good.-
-VD2: We're behind you on this.-
-VD: Mostly; you still need to write.-
-RPD: *dirty look*-
*laugh* I won't neglect my writing, I promise. At least, not more than I already do.
-VD: Good. I think.-
:p I really hope things go well. The setting looks like fun, and I'd like to have my Doc meet up with at least one of the Doctors playing there. (They've got Four and Ten, along with Rose, Martha, Donna, and a sentient TARDIS.) Crossovers ftw, you know.
-OD: *looks back at tentacles* Indeed we do. *tentacles nodnod*-
-DW: And it might give you an outlet for some of your stranger bunnies.-
Heh, depends.
Ironic note of the day -- clockwork_doc has more icons than I do, thanks to the elimination of the "no ads" level. I'm actually jealous of MYSELF in that respect.
In other news, work was a suckfest of people coming in all at once and me accidentally breaking one of the little racks we use to hang clothes (pulled on it while dealing with a customer, and it broke). I managed to get two pages on "There's Always Tomorrow" and a page on "Forward to the Past," though. Ahead of the game, I suppose.
-D: Have they named the baby yet?-
Almost! :D I had to stop just shy.
-OD: What about in mine?-
You just brought out a Frankenguitar for Marty.
-VDM: Steampunk love shining through? I approve.-
Hehehehe. Not really steampunk, though, he used future technology.
-TD: We'll let it pass.-
:D I also caved and ordered a flux capacitor from BTTF.com. Damn you Stephen for telling me you only had about a dozen left. Suppose it makes up for not getting the minimates from him.
-D: Though I can't really protest the purchase of my greatest invention, where are you going to put it?-
I'll find space. Maybe on a windowsill. And I'll pose the minimates with it. *suddenly has funny picture thoughts of Docmates, flux capacitor, and squeezy wrench*
-VD2: You're on quite a shopping spree lately.-
Yeah, I have no idea what's up with it. *shrug* At least with the mall all I plan to buy is lunch.
Ooo, just got my acceptance e-mail from the Rift! *goes to log in as clockwork again to make sure that's all kosher*
