How to terrify me senseless
show me anything to do with Daleks.
I may puke or pass out.
No joke, I’ve been terrified of them since I decided it was a wonderful idea to hide behind the sofa and watch Doctor Who as a child.
I’d rather be covered in ravenous poisonous spiders than encounter a dalek.
I have a confession, internet. I have never seen...

dear TV world people,
Why on earth isn’t Recovery on DVD? You have a fantastic cast- David Tennant, Sarah Parish, among many others- and a beautiful shot, constructed and achieved narrative which deals with so many issues.
It’s a wonderful piece of drama and I’m sick of having to watch it in sections on YouTube.
Sort it out.
Love,
Emma
p.s. if you’re worried about sales, just put this image...

I just checked my university e-mail.
There was a loan recall.
I was expecting one of the theory books I have out, but no.
They’ve recalled Third Star.
Which means, someone else from my university has been Cumberbatched!

Have you ever stayed awake all night?
happens quite a lot. Sometimes I don’t sleep at all. Sometimes I only sleep 3 nights in a week.
this is your confession, or that constant burning question. Or possibly you want to ask me about cake. Either is fine.

Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't need a dick.
He could just fuck you with his voice.

Cried at Guernica, again

“It’s just paint and canvas, but it has the authority of stone. It’s...”
– Simon Schama, Power Of Art.
Look at it.
Really look.
This isn’t about beauty; it’s about truth.
I need to see it. Need to.
I know I’ll cry. I know I’ll be inconsolable. But I need to see it before I die.

“Great art has dreadful manners. The greatest paintings grab you in a headlock,...”
– Simon Schama, Power Of Art.
Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind, but now all your love is wasted. And then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out... It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe.You a stupid hoe you a you a stupid hoe. You stupid stupid, you a stupid hoe
Tay: Hey let me try and prove a point by including a completely unrelated ste of lyrics from a different genre, ignoring the fact that there are artists from the same genre which have bad lyrics too. Let's show everyone how unoriginal I am by joining a bandwagon, and how immature I am because people enjoy something I don't and I consider myself too deep for.
Emma: White...white...white... black. Why do people always stick Nicki in here with white indie boy artists (some of whom I love, yes) and act like they're even slightly comparable? I don't even care for Minaj but seriously? If you're going to compare her with anyone at least make it a valid comparison. (Also: TEAM TAY. That is all.)
bola-de-drac asked: hey ;)

Will black people be wiped out for the second time on African soil by Arabs while the international community - that armed and supported the rebels - says NOTHING??
