Title: Light Enough for What I Have to Do
Author: pinkalarmclock
Rating: G
Spoilers: Takes place after 1x09 so spoilers for the obvious cliffhanger
Summary: Life grinds to a halt, as if the world has always revolved around Tony. In some ways, it always has.
Disclaimer: Somewhat obviously, I do not own Skins
Author's note: This is my first Skins fic, written before I saw Series 2. Positive criticism please? Betaed for me by amory vain – thank you!

Well now. Haven't posted for months and months and months. Admittidly, I reckon I have excuses for that, given that it's Year 11 and I have practically 7 essays to write per night, lots of outside stress, and a hurricane. So, random post to talk about life and see if anyone remembers who I am :P
Oh yeah - a hurricane. Ike was pretty fun actually - not if you lived in Galveston (this place at the coast where EVERYTHING was destroyed) or had a tree end up in your living room obviously - as an 'experiance'.
Oh, massive, incredbile news.
OFFICALLY MOVING BACK TO THE UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOO!!!
I've always had it as a 'Oh, can't wait till I move back', but now that I KNOW its happening and I'm having to choose A-levels and look at school, I'm pretty damn scared. I really, really don't want to leave my friends and school, and it's only really now I'm appriceating them.
But onto lighter news - SKINS is my new thing. Honestly, I'm just DYING for a good natter about Tony and Maxxie and Anwar and Cassie and all those cool people (I'm at 2x01 if you want to oblige!) and the fandom is so small!
Nothing like DW and TW sizes, or Harry Potter !!!
School's so tiring....I don't know why no-one told me it was going to be like this! I've honestly had homework every evening ever since we came back from Ike which has never happened before!
And then there's all this friend drama - it's always been L and R and Emma and K going round in a big group, but now me and K have a new girl we get on with, and R's just been really horrid to both of us. You know when someone's saying something really mean, but laughing at it so you can't really say anything? Her and L are best friends, and now they're always going off on their own, which is obviously R's thing because L and I get on unbelieably well. It's really pissing me off, because she's been like that since before the summer to me, and I'm honestly fed up of it. There is nothing about R that makes me want to be her friend anymore, but obviously I can't say anything like that because I'm generally quite nice, despite this massive rant! ARGH
Anyone had anything like this before? Help?
Oh, and I'm compleatly in love with a boy in the other class. He's the most intelligent boy in the year, incredibly nice and friendly, sporty but not too sportly, dresses well (instead of the normal baggy jeans thing he obviously cares about how he looks) and just seems to be compleatly perfect. Of course, he practically has no idea who I am (as far as you can in a year of 35....) and obviously doesn't have any clue I like him. Very, very pathetic, and I can tell my friends are getting really fed up me talking about him constantly - which is why I'm now talking to the internets! :P
So yeah....that's my life! How are you? What's going on with you?

Now the amazing 6-week Carragher Family holiday is over, I can actually get on a computer! Sorry that I've been dead for 6 weeks :P
So (once I find my camera..o.0) I'll post lots of cool randomness inculding the incredible EMMA WITH CATHERINE TATE picture :)

God, I'm so scared to watch Journey's End! Even the title sounds scary!
NO END! LOTS OF DOCTORDONNANESS PLS KTHXBAI
Ahem.
I'm devoting the entire day tomorrow to Series Four.
Starting as soon as I get up (8? 8.30? 13 episodes to fit in) I'm watching them all back-to-back for maximum squeeage. And quite probably posting little reviews on them at designated breaktimes :P
I feel so proud - I haven't seen one spoiler yet!
Just to go over my theory (http://pinkalarmclock.livejournal.com/36
Davros is there doing it all
Planets we've had mentioned will be there again TRUE
Bees escaping
Medusa Cascade is a weapon
Ah well, 3 out of 4?
Extra ideas :
Harriet in league with the Daleks?
One-second time thing will come into play
Daleks will use the humans to make more Daleks, or to adapt in some way (think PotW or DiM)
Ianto will beat every Dalek in history
Voldemort will come ('The Dark Lord is coming')
Probably meaning that twit Harry will come as well.
Ooh, and Draco. :)
But if he regenerates I WILL EAT MY LAPTOP.
I promise.

Sorry I haven't answered any messages, comments, emails, commented on yours, paid any bills, fed the cat etc etc etc but I was on a school trip to Florida!
School trips, not really my sort of thing but the company paid for it so it was a might-as-well thing. We went to the Florida Keys (Largo, Marathon and another one incase you care) and did loads of snorkeling, swimming, kakaking, swimming with dolphins and visiting turtle hospitals. Also inexplicably cutting up a squid.....
So busy doing all of the random stuff (or being me, sitting on a boat while everyone else does it! I'm not fond of the sea.....) I obviously didn't have time to get on the internet! I probably have about six million pages of stuff on my Friends page, so I WILL reply, even if not in this century.....
But never fear, I DID manage to get a bit of DW fangirling in!
Very, VERY odd actually....the two boys in my year who i abhor the most are incredibly into it......fanboyishly into it......
Loads of us were sitting in the hot tub at the hotel staring at the stars and complaining about light pollution when we saw a really really bright one.
Boy 1 - Look, its the Christmas Star!
Boy 2 - With all the spiders inside!
Me - .........Doctor Who....????
Boys - You watch Doctor Who?
Me - Hell yeah!
And then we had a nice conversation about DW and TW without any insults, retarded comments etc. Until my friend got out of the pool and got a 'Damn, you're looking fiiiiine' from Boy 2.....
And on the plane I got stuck sitting beside Boy 2 (who is a compleate and utter dickhead, man-slut, scum of the world etc etc etc) and we actually had a civil conversation about the Vasta Nerada, River Song, which-companion-is-the-best, which-doctor-is-the-best, his parents knowing Tennant's parents, Aberdeen and English accents.
I think I may be in a parallel universe, where horrid guys can actually have something nice about them.
God that's weird.
Haven't watched the new DW, because I'm scared Donna's going to die next week! But I'm about to now......hahahaha I will die of laughter if my theories were right!

Except, instead of the little paper people, I'm going to make a little collage of people stuck onto a TARDIS interior background.
Only problem is, I'm a bit stuck on which ones!
I've already got screenshots of Ten, Nine, Rose, Martha, The Master and Harriet Jones (because its a very funny screenshot!). Much as I'd love to be able to stick 6 hundred million trillion people on, Tardis paper is very sadly not bigger on the inside.....so I need suggestions for the best, most memorable characters. I'm going to get a Donna pic and a Dalek, but aside from that I'm a bit stumped. There are so many I want to put on!
Also, if anyone has an interior shot of the Tardis which is better than this
Please send it to me! While I'm pretty sure I'll end up covering Ten and Martha, it would be nice to have one I didn't have to! I'd preferably like one facing the console from the side if poss.
THANKS!!!

My theory on Series Four arc words and random comments by RTD
More than likely been posted before but I like to think I think uniquely
The Medusa Cascade has to do with destroying planets.
Partners In Crime - 'What do you mean lost? How can you lose a planet?'
Fires of Pompeii - 'What d'you mean, 'gone'? Where's it gone?' 'Pyrovillia is lost'
Might not seem like it's very important, but RTD's said on several occasions that every word in Doctor Who is chosen for a reason, there is no idle conversation, and it definitatly seems like our attention is being draw to it.
He's also said that it's been seeded back even to the first series, so :
Rose - The Nestene Consciousness's planet died
The Long Game - The Jagrafess's planet is kaboom
(I think! It's too late for me to look it all up)
I think our attention was called to these planet deaths as well.
Half series trailer - 'The Darkness is coming'
Forest of the Dead - 'Skies will turn black with the darkness' (not real quote, I've forgotten it, but it definitly mentioned black skies and darkness...)
If a planet is destroyed, surely this means darkness? The Darkness = Medusa Cascade?
Soooo.........the theory
The Medusa Cascade is a weapon used to destory planets.
Me thinks it's Davros' work, due to the Daleks in the half-series trailer.
However, I don't know all that much about Davros, so maybe I have him all wrong and he'd rather take the Earth out for an ice-cream rather than destory it. But I doubt it.
Maybe he's going to threaten to use it to enslave the Earth? Perhaps that's why all the bees are missing. They're escaping! 'So long, and thanks for all the pollen'??
I will actally DIE of laughter if I'm right....
What do you think?

Monday Edit -
Inspired by
(most of you know about my never-ending battle with html formatting....grr. Sorry if it messes up - I've given up on the fancy cuts things)
- 2008x01 "Partners in Crime" -- The Adipose parents using Earth as a breeding ground for their children.
2008x02 "The Fires of Pompeii" -- The Pyrovillians moving in because their own world is lost.
2008x03 "Planet of the Ood" -- Humans taking over the Oodsphere as a slave farm.
2008x04/x05 "The Sontaran Stratagem"/"The Poison Sky" -- The Sontarans using Earth as a new clone world, somewhere to raise new clones.
2008x06 "The Doctor's Daughter" -- Hello blatant offspring reference. And terraforming as a core part of the backstory/plot, another planet remodelled by incomers.
2008x08/x09 "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead" -- another planet "lost" because Lux Senior moved in and remodelled it for his own purposes because of his daughter.
So, building on my OP, maybe the Medusa Cascade can be used for creation of planets as well as destruction? And there seems like millions of 'higher species' who's planets (or bodies, coughgelthcough) have been lost from the nasty Time War - plenty of people who would follow someone who had the power to give them back their old homes, and who would fight for him against the one who destroyed it . Hmm....
So, The Medusa Cascade has to do with the creation, destruction, etc etc etc of planets.

Oh My God.
Oh My God.
OH MY GOD!
Life as I know it is offically over.
Exit Wounds was just on.
Oh.
My.
God.
I can't stop crying. The spoiler people (two posts down :P) did NOT prepare me for this.
But I have to nitpick.......Tosh's death was a bit on the pathetic side. I mean, I knew she was in for it, but I sort of thought it would be something more.......dramatic.
A gunshot wound versus decomposing while still alive....I think we know who the death-scene writers liked :P
Ah I'm tearing up again.........
But on the plus side, I WAS SOOOOOO RIGHT ABOUT TOSHxOWEN!!!!!!!!!! *squeees*
Right I'm off to do some writing.....I've compleatly missed like the last seven prompts on

GAH.
By Friday, I need to :
- Cut my history coursework down by half (what kind of exam board wants to hear less about your ideas?)
- Describe the digestive system in a creative piece of writing (why do Biology teachers feel the need to give us 'fun' things? all it does it stress us out!)
- Revise for a french grammer test (and I'm so crap at french I don't even know why I take it)
- Do a HUGE booklet of past GCSE questions on linear equations
- Write a Personal Statement (WHT? I'm only 14! Why do I need to prepare for applying to Uni???)
- Revise for an End Of Unit test for Geography
And worst of all......
Revise for End Of Year Exams in English, Maths, Double Science, ICT, Drama, French, History and Geography
.
WHICH ARE IN FOUR WEEKS.
And I really shouldn't be on LJ or watching the repeat of Last Restaurant Standing.
But I'm just going to die anyway, so what's the point?
