Tell you what though, I certainly don't have any complaints about this Matt Smith. I totally would have cut that picture of him out the Daily Mail would it not have cost me £1.50 to do it. He's a tad on the gorgeous side.

Writer's Block: Doctor Who?

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:52:16 GMT

26-year-old actor Matt Smith was anointed as the eleventh Doctor Who this week. If you were in charge of casting, who would you cast as your ideal Doctor and why?

Submitted By norikoandshuya

WELL did you have to ASK.

I think Johnny Depp would do a fabulous job no matter who he was asked to play, but I actually do think Dr Who would be a perfect role for him. He'd totally take the role and make it completely unique.

It's the twentieth anniversary of the first Simpsons episode today. Who is your favorite Simpsons character—Ralph? Sideshow Bob? Ned Flanders? An actual Simpson?

As my brother just pointed out, shouldn't Bart be in his thirties by now?

Hmm, I can't really think of a favourite, although I have always loved to quote Ralph when the occasion calls for it. For instance, the episode where the kids are on the school bus and Bart and Nelson decide to roll fruit down the aisle to see which one gets to the front first.

NELSON: Go watermelon!

BART: Go orange!

RALPH: *appears from nowhere* Go banana!

Writer's Block: Full Moon Fever

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:54:37 GMT

It's the full moon today. Almost every culture has its share of lunar lore, from werewolves to lunacy to true love. Do you believe that the full moon affects our behavior or do you think it's a myth?

I guess it does affect me. I mean - I used to be a werewolf...but I'm OK nooooooooooooooooow...!

LOL that just doesn't have the same effect as when you say it. It's supposed to be a howl at the end? Yes? GET IT?!

In all seriousness (yes, it was a joke) I have never really given much consideration as to how the moon might have an impact on my behaviour...so I've never noticed a change. I'll keep an eye on myself today and let you know.

Writer's Block: Ghost Stories

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:59:33 GMT

Everyone enjoys a ghost story. Or at least knows one. What is the scariest ghost story you've ever heard?

I once made up a ghost story when I was in primary school that scared the shit out of my then-friend Lauren, who christened it 'the Woody Story' and tried to make me retell it to other people, but it was never as scary as it was the first time around. To the best of my memory, it involved a Woody doll (from Toy Story) coming to life, only he was evil, and just said the same thing over and over as he advanced on you, with a knife. And I think the story featured a girl running away from the Woody doll and it chasing her and her eventually hiding in a public toilet, but he climbed over the wall and that was the end of her. Then I ended it on "But Woody is still around to this day...in fact, I think, he's walking into this room...climbing over the back of the sofa where Lauren is sitting..."

At which point she screamed and ran out the room, LOL.

A ghost story that my dad once told me, that I'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows, is the one about a young couple driving through a wood in the middle of the night, when they hear on the radio about an escaped lunatic. Then something hits their bonnet, so they stop and the boyfriend gets out the car to investigate, telling the girl to sit tight and lock all the doors. She sits there and waits for him to come back, and as she waits, she hears a thumping on the roof of the car. She sits there and waits for it to go but it doesn't, it just gets louder and louder. So she phones the police, and the police turn up, aim their guns at the roof of the car, and one of them yells to her, "Get out of the car as fast as you can, but for god's sake don't look around!" So out she jumps and she runs but she does look around...and sees, to her horror *dun dun DUN* the escaped lunatic thumping the severed head of her boyfriend on the car roof.

I also remember (god I'm really on a roll now) being on a holiday with my family and some family friends when I was about seven or eight. One night me,my mum, my brother and this boy called Christopher ('cept I called him Ciffee cos thats what HIS brother called him) were leaning on the railing overlooking the ocean, and it was really quiet and peaceful. And we start talking about ghost stories, and Christopher said that he had one, and it went like this:

"*quiet, spooky voice* Did you ever hear about the old man who lived by the sea...? Well, one day, long ago...BOO!"

LOL at the fact it actually made us all jump in quite a shameful way.

Right well I'm all ghost storied out now.

Writer's Block: Secret Crush

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:23:26 GMT

Everyone knows having a crush at the office or in class can make the time pass a little bit quicker. Is it better to keep your crush a secret or tell them how you feel?

Just LOL at the fact that me and Katie were discussing this just last night! Anyway, what it basically boils down to is which feeling you would rather live with: the uncertain, unhappy heartache (mclol this sounds so cheesy but stick with it) of liking them but not telling and then possibly regretting it, or the absolute humiliation of telling them and facing the possibility of being hit with the "I'm really flattered but..." speech.

Personally, I would much rather live with uncertain unhappines, because, in my opinion, this feeling fades with time, whereas humiliation just does not. For me, anyhoo.

Although I have endless amounts of admiration for anyone (girls particularly) who does manage to gather up the balls to tell. I applaud you all. *applause*

Writer's Block: Reconsidering Children's Books

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:14:54 GMT

Have you ever gone back and re-read a book you loved as a child only to find it incredibly disturbing now that you're an adult? Like The Giving Tree, for example: a terrifying tale of self-sacrifice or a reassuring story of maternal love?

Not really...although I used to love the Famous Five and Malory Towers books by Enid Blyton, and I certainly raised an eyebrow at George and Bill when I reread them when I was about fifteen. LOL I was so happily accepting of their desperate need to have a sex change when I was seven or eight.

As a side note, I just went and googled 'The Giving Tree' and MY GOD how can anyone actually not find that horrific. That goddamn selfish child.

Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever encountered one?

People who believe in ghosts are, not all that shockingly, the people who see them. Hence, seeing as I don't believe in them, I have never seen one. Believing is seeing and all that.

However, if I ever DID see something remotely supernatural, I would actually run for it as fast as I could, and you would never catch me anywhere near a ouija board. Cos the thought of them terrifies the shit out of me.

That said I would totally take a ghost walk in a castle with a bunch of friends.

*muse* Mmmm I'm weird.

Writer's Block: Where Names Come From

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:15:21 GMT

Is there a story behind your real name or avatar? How did you end up being called that?

LOL. Well my LJ name. Took a lot of deep thought that did. It required the meaningful process of signing up to LJ and realising that all the suave, cool names I had envisioned me having were in fact, taken. My thought process went along the lines of, "Shit - that name's taken. Well how ABOUT - no, that's taken too. Let's try - no...well what about - NO...WELL LET'S GIVE THIS A - NO. HOW ABOUT - NO?! NO! FOR GOD'S SAKE. LET'S TRY SOMETHING REALLY STUPID LIKE BACONBUBBLES AND SEE IF ANYONE WAS DAFT ENOUGH TO HAVE THAT AS THEIR USERNAME."

And so.

Now I am lumbered with this travesty. Of a username.

Baconbubbles. I sound like a goddamn lump of LARD.

My real name is Kelsey. My parents named me this after watching the credits roll for a TV series called 'Cheers.' There was a person called Kelsey Grammar in it. They thought it sounded good, so they named me that. After the MAN named Kelsey Grammar. And yes, I am female.

Lol my naming life has just ben fraught with drama, it really has.

Dear Mum,

Just thought I'd send you a quick postcard to stop you from worrying about me. I've arrived safely at Earth, bit of a bumpy landing but what can you do. Didn't expect the rain to burn quite so much - they have Acid Rain here you know, Mum? The inhabitants here are all desensitized to it but being used to 100% H2o I guess has spoilt me. At the moment I'm in this place called England, London...it's night time and for some reason people become so much more awake and - well - violent at this time. The stories we used to get told - that humans sleep at night and are awake in the day - obviously complete rubbish. Right now there's about five males over the road, kicking another male who's lying on the floor covering his face. There's a lot of - what's the word - oh yes, blood. There's a female screaming for other people to help some yards away from them. There's water coming out her eyes - it's leaving black streaks down her face. Did you know they cried black tears over here, Mum? Anyway, no matter how loud this female screams, vehicles are just continuing straight past without slowing down. In fact, a few of them are speeding up.

More blood is appearing in the midst of the fighting males. One of them - do my eyes deceive me? One of the kicking male's has grabbed the hand of the male lying on the floor and has put that male's finger in his mouth. He's biting down - he's - he's -

I don't like to continue, Mum. I'm writing this from my hideout, and I'm praying they don't catch sight of me next. The kicking males are running away, the male on the floor is crawling weakly about, cradling his hand to his chest, groping for something on the floor. I don't want to tell you what he's looking for.

I can't think of a nice way to end this, Mum, except to say - I'm glad you're not here.

All my love,

Al xxx
