Not what I was supposed to be doing, but then I thought it would be fun to have a Ainsley Can-I-have-a-muffin icon. 54 other icons later, I did remember to do that...

Pics & Quotes, mainly Josh/Donna and Sam/Ainsley, but some others. As far as I know, no actual harm was done to any turkeys, goats or bicycles.

I should so be ficcing.

That said... did you see the news story last week about the jetpack (okay, actually an engine-pack, but IT'S A BACKPACK FLYING MACHINE) that's supposed to be commercially available sometime in the next couple years? And the U.S. Armed Forces are looking at using them for search and rescue - which might mean my baby sister will get to use one at some point. Wow.

Hi! *waves* You will never believe this, but during my last few weeks of scarcity I have been a) drinking a lot of wine and b) watching series 1 of The West Wing, finally! And then I come back to LJ to find these amazing icons. Great minds. :D :D :D

That said, I haven't got very far yet, so I don't think I've heard a single one of these quotes, nor met Ainsley. Currently I am a big happy grinning mess for Toby, Leo and Josh. Which is not to say I am not also a big happy grinning mess for CJ, Donna, the President, Mrs Lanningham, Charlie and EVERYONE, except maybe for Sam, who can go be smug somewhere else and take his patronising attitude to call girls with him. THANK YOU SO MUCH for dragging me into this universe of pure joy!

(Also, I seem to remember you saying something about years of watching Spooks making you expect Bad Stuff to happen all the time on The West Wing? I totally get that! I have to keep reminding myself that there is no way they are going to kill off a main character and I can RELAX.)

Ahhhhhh ok the moment I wrote that I had a paranoid fit. If someone is going to die, can you warn me? Like, just say "watch out for episode 324 I AM JUST SAYING"? I don't think I could deal with it otherwise. I can barely deal with it on Spooks and I am expecting it then.

OH GOD NO, REALLY? ARGH. ARGH. I haven't even finished the first series yet so I haven't encountered a cliffhanger... Usually I am so anti-spoilers, but I don't know... I think what you've just said is enough of a warning, actually. I will be on my guard now. Thanks. :)

Ha! I'm very much looking forward to the spy bits. THERE HAS TO BE A SPOOKS CROSSOVER. HAS TO BE.

Leo has done all the charming he needs to, never mind his age, I am totally taken. :D

I'm up to... watched 1.14 "Take This Sabbath Day" last night. (And argh, I see what you mean about dark stuff now - that one was a bit of a punch to the guts. Toby! Asking the President for the pardon! Oh my god, heart in little pieces on the floor.)

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES

What are you talking about! This is a totally workable plot! I would love to have Thinky Thoughts to add to it but I've just watched 9.05 so I have my canons completely confused, and not saying more in case you haven't seen it, but you'll have seen the trailer for it anyway, so let me just say that the image I got in my head whenever someone mentioned the President wasn't in any way Obama.

!!!!! So excited. Especially about Donna having the answer after all! Write it, write it, write it!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your warning about cliffhangers. I got up to the end of series 1 the other day but then I remembered your advice, and I waited until I had series 2 actually in my hands before I watched the finale. And ARGH! I would have probably died if I'd had to wait longer than the ten seconds it took me to change the dvd, and as it was I nearly died during 2.01 with all its ridiculous flashbacks holding out on telling me if Josh was going to live, ARGH JOSH NO. ARGH.

*takes deep breath*

So now I'm well into series 2 and have calmed down a bit, and also I have met Ainsley, who is great. And I will definitely make sure to have series 3 in my hands before watching the series 2 finale!

Also I did some stumbling around for fic recs and the very first thing I came across was this with zombies, omg. You will love it!

I have no idea how you survived waiting that long to find out what happened. (Possibly by being less involved than I seem to be... oh dear, how did this happen?!)

Yeah, I wasn't sure about Donna at first either, but now she has grown on me in a very big way! I'm excited to see she has a spot in the titles now. Though what happened to Mandy? Maybe I missed her exit but it looks like she got shafted the same way Sam did in Spooks.

Re the fic, YOU ARE WELCOME. My first stop-off for fic recs is always delgaserasca's del.icio.us, so I cannot claim credit for randomly digging up zombies and apocalypses in relation to everything, sorry. :) As for whether or not Donna and Josh make it, probably the only way you will ever know is if you write a sequel. *unsubtle hint

Well actually it was weeks of stress and little sleep, which I think you guessed! But I have been healthy, so I'm sorry to hear you're not - get better soon, and enjoy your medicinal telly. :)

He was in The Glass Menagerie?? I studied that for my final exams, too, but we stuck to the text version. I guess he was Tom? Or the Gentleman Caller? Ha, it feels like a nightmare to me too!

I am very much looking forward to how everyone changes as I go along. And new characters sound like fun! Oh hmm, I'm not sure I like that it stops being light-hearted, but I will definitely wait and see. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! ♥

have now watched so much of it so fast, my head is a stranger place than usual - oh yes, I know what you mean! I get that whenever I watch more than two episodes of something in a row. Or, after pretty much any episode of Spooks, lols.

I... what? I do not remember a lobotomy in The Glass Menagerie! Either that was a very strange film adaptation, or you have been having nightmares, or I have forgotten a lot of my high school years (very possible).

Well, I am glad you sorted it all out! That is quite a mystery to have been carrying around for so long. In the interests of sanity I am avoiding that film at all costs.

Oh I love these, so much pretty and great quotes. Right now I can't decide which ones to use but if I do, then I'll credit you.

Love your icons, I grabbed one and will credit when used.

YES IT DOES. We originally started watching it after "tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing" came up with reference to Kat's asshole cat and her mom's tiny Yorkie (it's complicated XD), and... QUOTES. ALL THE QUOTES. Since we saw the S1 State of the Union episode I've been saying "The country is much stranger than it was this time last year" at random intervals. ^_^
