Friending / Selective friending / Not friending

During the course of 2008 I created different journals for my icons and my fics (See my profile page) so that it wouldn't clutter my journal any more. As a friend at college correctly stated when I did so "There was no room for my musings" - bless her! I saw no point after that in keeping my journal public. Therefore I decided to make my journal a friends only journal. 

NOTE

I am currently friending. If you want to friend me just leave a comment telling me how I know you and I'll add you. PLEASE DON'T JUST ADD ME. I have a terribly memory and unless we talk all the time I might not remember you!

I APOLOGISE ABOUT MY COMMENTS BEING ON "FRIEND ONLY". I HAVE FIXED THIS SO NOW ANYONE CAN COMMENT BELOW! :)

Gee I'm depressed today, and my back is hurting, and I have lots of work to do. It be driving me mad. I wish I had a hole I could crawl into for the rest of this day, week, month and even come out because, to quote John Lennon, I'm so tired and haven't slept a wink. But I can't have a lie down because I jolt myself awake. If I had some pot I might smoke that but I'm a bit too much of a goodie two shoes to go looking for pot. Maybe if my back gets really bad I'll take a couple of pain-killers. That can sometimes knock me out.

I don't even have anything to think about at the moment. 

EDIT: Decided to add my comment here because I've started ranting - my back still feels uncomfortable. Now i'm starting to feel really ticked off. I tried to sleep it off, but it still aching, so I'm going to take some more pain killers. It doesn't hurt so much as it's really uncomfortable. 

I hate taking tablets; they make me feel 'drugged-up' and weary, which I feel anyway so it makes it worse!^^ I used to be scared they'd get stuck in my throat when I was a kid. It's only recently I've got used to them because I had to. *groans* It's been a bad day all around, just like yesterday. It's been a bad week what with the dentist, and having to go back to see him next month to have a filling *cries* He's a nice guy... I just don't like dentists. I should rant about that too in my entry...

I've hardly had a chance to rest it because I've been running arounf after my mum, who has made herself ill because the stupid doctor wanted to see her to see if she's valid for support money. Err, hello? The woman had a stroke, has had two operations replacing her knee caps, and nearly died around this time last year... someone like that should have to drag themselves to Romford to show how disabled they are. I think that's what did my back in, sitting around for ages and walking up flights of stairs, over and over. Gee, I feel like an old lady. You can see why my mum must be feeling rotten.

Right, that's my rant out of the way!

Plus, have you seen that daft advert with the cow and the slippers. "If cows were supposed to live indoors they'd be born with slippers?" Err... if humans were supposed to live indoors we'd be born with slippers too. Hmmm... looks like we should got back to living in trees with the other antrapoids, then.

Finally got all of the coursework pieces that had piled up on me last week out of the way - but it's far from over. I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow. Plus, I have to see the denist so I won't be in last period. I hate the denist. I also won't be in the period before lunch on Friday (Which means I have to miss English and I hate falling behind in that.) At least I have a gift for catching up with things. It's how I got through my GCSEs. I must have had the worst attendence for a model student last year because of men, my mum and other stuff... The ultimate irony that I'm now one of the only people that don't bunk classes, and therefore have a good attendence over all.

Anyway, dentist - I hate them. Not happy about tomorrow. Won these, by the way. I haven't made any icons in ages because of all this work. Or updated my journal for that matter. Sorry about that:

Well... I thought I better just make my last post of this year.

What a year it has been! 

There has been more good and bad this year, sadly. Here is a very short review: 

My mum nearly died, my grandmother got sick and is now dying, I had to get into college, I did my GCSEs,  I began college and had to find new friends as well as keep old ones, and started this journal. Thankfully, my mum didn't die and is alright now, I got into college, I passed my GCSEs, started college on a high note and made new friends, and you can decide whether this journal is for the good or the bad. So I suppose there has been a lot of good this year really. Sadly there is nothing I can do for my grandmother, though.

All I can say now is HAPPY NEW YEAR and I'll see you in 2008!

Love Sophie

Right, I was talking with a friend the other day who shall remain nameless because he's recently fled to Italy... well not fled, he lives there with his dad, and we got on to talking about Doctor Who. Oh, just off topic, really excited about the new Torchwood series. You can see clips on Freema Agyeman's website (Best companion so far!) And we were trying to work out why the Doctor is so obssessed with taking on young girls as his companions. What's the deal? At first my friend sai he was a perv but then I said maybe it has something to do with his granddaughter. We talked it out and came up with The Susan Foreman Complex, which is basically the idea that because the Doctor feels the need to protect someone he takes on the companions who make up for his granddaughter not being there.

Firstly, the Doctor's only known family was his granddaughter Susan Foreman who he had been travelling with for a long time in exile. Susan being only a little girl really was always in need of saving and was often kidnapped to get the Doctor to do what the enemy wanted. She left him to stay on Earth, quite unwillingly, as the Doctor had to lock her out of the TARDIS to stop her from coming back. He began to fear that as long as Susan was with him she wouldn't have a life of her own. So he told her stay on Earth and that he would one day return for her. Till this day he never has and with the Time War we can assume that as far as the Doctor knows Susan died in the Time War with the other Time Lords.

The Doctor's second companion after Susan was a girl called Vicki who he adopted as his granddaughter. After she left, there were others, time after time, there was new companion to replace his adopted granddaughters. The trend has never ended. Basically, the Doctor needs someone to protect because without Susan he would have been very lonely. The reason they are so young is because Susan was very young, still a child really, and needed him. The Doctor likes to show off and be needed by his companions the way Susan needed him. I suppose the reason he felt a little overwhelmed by Martha is because she didn't always need him to protect her as she could do a lot of things by herself. His love of humans comes from Susan too. Prior to meeting Ian and Barbara he hated humans or at least disliked them and Earth. He only began to like them and protect them once Susan left to live with humans. He is still protecting the thing the person he loved most held dear.
