Steven Moffat: Troll



This picture pretty much sums up my life the last month. I have grown to hate this man so much because it would seem his main goal in life is to make my life miserable.
For those of you who don't know, Steven Moffat is the head writer of Doctor Who and Sherlock. And he is evil.
The man is a genius honestly. He writes so well, and it seems as though he's writing by the seat of his pants, but he brings it all back together by the end and it all makes sense and you aren't really sure how nut it just does. And the worst thing is you go back farther into a series like Doctor Who and you realize he's had all this planned basically forever. I hate the way he keeps me far too emotionally invested in things and destroys all my hopes and dreams (yes, I'm being a little over-dramatic but I'm upset). I have been up until three o'clock in the morning over both series and in tears more than I care to admit.
But honestly, I would not like either show any other way. I was not a hardcore Whovian before the last month. I started with Nine and was not overly impressed at first, fell in love with Ten and loved the show through series 3, despite my dislike for Martha (another day). But I had a hard time stomaching series 4. It didn't tie together as cohesively as the past seasons, it had become somewhat silly and the stories just generally didn't interest me. Until Silence in the Library. I found myself roped back in by one character. River. I needed to know who she was to the Doctor, what her back story was, why she knew him so intimately and he had no idea who she was. It was River that drove me to keep watching. And I was not disappointed. Where it had taken me roughly seven months to watch the first four series, I finished 5 & 6 in just two weeks. It became an obsession. I fell in love with the show again, loved the way it had changed, despite my reluctance to like Matt at first. And now I can't wait to see what's been cooked up for series &. It's driving me a little crazy quite honestly, all my theories, bouncing around my head.
And then there is Sherlock. The length of the episodes intimidated me, but there were only six of them so I thought "Ehn, what could it hurt?" Appearantly I had a temperory brain lapse and forgot all the things Moffat could hurt. Four days. That's how long it took me to tear through Sherlock, ending with me in a huddled blubbering mess at one in the morning last night.
So the moral of the story is that I am an overly emotional person who gets far too attached to fictional characters and needed to rant about Steven Moffat's evil plots to destroy my happiness. Thank you all for bearing with me!

Summer time!

Hey guys! So it's been a while cause I'm a shitty blogger and I apologize. Things kinda spiraled out of control around the end of the semester and I just couldn't even think about writing anything other than what had to be done. I'm home now and have been for about three weeks. Its been nice; relaxing and busy. I've been helping with the yardwork and stuff because we moved and this yard was a total mess. It took me a while to shut off school mode (feeling like I should constantly be studying or writing a paper) and to just relax. I got hired at Lowes and am just waiting on a call about hours before I start training so that's exciting. I've gotten to see most of my friends from home since I've been here, and me and Taylor went to the zoo this weekend which was so much fun. It was a beautiful day for it.
I've finished Doctor Who and Sherlock. There will be a blog containing a lot of hate for Steven Moffat and spoilers most likely, so I'll give you a heads up about that one, but I don't have the energy for that one right now.
Also, I'm in the process of reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. Before you all hate me forever, I needed something to read, my mom had bought and I'd heard that it wasn't too terrible. And it's not. I'm about 150 pages in over the last two days (huge print, tiny pages) and I'm not terribly impressed. The awkward time passage between chapters that isn't clarified makes it choppy and the flow is weird. I also don't understand how I have another 700 pages of story ahead of me.
One last thing before I sign off for the day- I have complied a list of the show that I will be finishing this summer and thought I'd share it with you. These are in no particular order, but when I'm done with each show, I'll give y'all my two cents. If I miss anything you think I should watch tweet at me or facebook me and let me know!
-How I Met Your Mother
-Game of Thrones (I will also be reading these books)
-Merlin
-Firefly
-Torchwood
-The Walking Dead
-Jekyll
-Being Human
-The Cape
-Downton Abbey

I'll see you guys around! Happy Summer!!!
