baxterp2:

Well, that was unexpected.

So… The Way Station, the bar with the TARDIS, is about 4 blocks from my apartment and I go there several times a week generally. I have friends there and usually, during the week it’s quiet(ish) enough for me to sit in my “nook” (back next to the TARDIS) and write.

On Sundays they show movies or TV shows and when Doctor Who is airing, they show the previous night’s episode. Today they were showing last night’s season finale… aaaaand we had some surprise visitors.

Holy cow did everyone’s teeth hit the floor.

I really hope everyone was on their best behavior and Matt and Steven didn’t feel too overwhelmed. Also, apologies to Sue Vertue on behalf of the fan who forgot herself and basically followed Sue into the TARDIS/bathroom. We are all beside ourselves to host you at our favorite bar and hope we weren’t too much for you. But then, I suppose, if you decide to visit a known Doctor Who bar when they are showing the season finale in order to watch the screening, I imagine you know what you’re getting yourself into.

Anyway, thank you so much for coming. It’s personal things like this that make such a HUGE fandom feel so small and special.

I can see my friend Emily in the one photo!!!

“You’re looking for three things, generally, in a person,” says Buffett. “Intelligence, energy, and integrity. And if they don’t have the last one, don’t even bother with the first two.”

For those who have seen this effort, this is a worthwhile read. The idea really should be reworked…

Seriously, from an email I received from a foreign fashion outfitter:

Do you still remember the days when you were 16 years old? Or are you aged at16 now?
Do you have any unforgettable memories?
What did you wear at that age? Beautiful dresses?

Do you want an answer? It was a period of extreme awkwardness and psychological torture, otherwise known as adolescence, and HIGH SCHOOL. I would like to not think about it. And my fashion choices were rather disappointing.

And also THANK GOD I AM NO LONGER 16.

That is all.

So, I’m up right now for the market that begins at 10. Setup won’t really take that long for me, and I figure I should have some breakfast, pack myself some snacks for the course of the day, etc. I made a bunch more bracelets, I have plenty of earrings… going to bring the trivial pursuit earrings and circuit sheet pendants, and I think they will be well suited for this venue.

I’m better prepared than most occasions. I slept alright, though not long.

I’ve done a good amount of shows now by myself (I think there’s only about 2 where I was accompanied by anyone), yet I’m always hit with some anxiety. Waiting for the show where things really take off. I feel like this could be a really good one. (It’s a shame there will be all these record dealers there, and I won’t have much of chance to look—unless people visit me and watch my table. Or I’m placed right next to one…)

Just want to use my creativity for something I love. It’s a great feeling, making conversations with those passing by, talking about what I’m making.

At a programming job, confined to the walls of a cubicle, there’s no time for that. Then outside of the job, no one would really know what I’m actually talking about…

Great thing about setup today… it will be a peaceful drive into the city on a Sunday morning.

Now, what to wear?

I’m not one to give up. I can’t and I won’t even if no one is going to be alongside me.

That is all.

I stand in the Wawa, and manage to have serious deliberations about cost per ounce of coca-cola for the 20 oz, 1 liter, and 2 liter sizes. Clearly, the last in the best value, but I am actually picking up each bottle to read for comparison.

All this to get a necessary element for a rum and coke.

Is this a sign of being more adult and conscientious, or being a neurotic nutjob? Or perhaps neither?

Why is this girl more emotionally intelligent than me?

I would like to be serenaded or to serenade someone.

Either would be very nice.

I’ve told only a few people, but I have to get this off my chest, as it is totally freaking me out.

My uncle checked himself into the hospital two days ago due to an abnormally racing heart. Now, from what my dad told me, he’s always had an enlarged heart. I guess that could eventually lead to health issues.

From his stay (and he hasn’t left yet) and the results of whatever tests have been done, he will need to go on disability for between one and six months. This issue with his heart needs to be addressed.

I’m not quite making sense of it.

Part of me wants to state that this is the consequence of a broken heart.

Just over a year since my aunt passed.

I want to be able to take care of everyone. But I can’t.

These things hurt. Even if everything turns out just fine, and it very well could. And yet… already, I’ve been told… he’d be glad to get a visit and see my smiling face. Emphasis on “smiling”. I guess I’ve rightfully earned my reputation for optimism and a positive attitude and a generally joyful disposition. And that’s genuine, I swear. But I experience doubts and pain and all those real emotions that come with the ups and downs of life.

So, I’m going to pray. I’m going to remain steady. I’m going to be supportive. That’s all I’ve got.
