[insert obligatory OMGWTF *flail* etc.]

Okay, now how am I supposed to do anything else for the rest of the week but think about Doctor Who? Is it Saturday yet?

Also DAVID TENNANT IS NOT LEAVING. I have to keep repeating this to myself every five minutes or I lose the ability to breathe.

I just watched the episode--I didn't have time to watch it before my birthday/housewarming party. Several of my friends arrived early (first time anyone has arrived early for any party I've ever had). So I was kind of resenting that, but it turns out to be the biggest blessing ever, because I would not have wanted to spend my birthday party shaking and flailing about Doctor Who!

(Also, the party was awesome. Good conversation and Eva made vegan quesadillas and I made vegan banana split cupcakes with vegan buttercream frosting and chocolate ganache drizzled on top and I'm so happy that so many of my friends showed up.)

Anyway, um, it's 6:30am and I haven't slept yet, so I'm going to go crash for ten hours.

But. David Tennant is not leaving. I'm not spoiled, DON'T TELL ME ANY SPOILERS, I'm just saying for the sake of my own sanity that he's absolutely not leaving. RTD is just fucking with the audience Joss-Whedon-style, and cliffhangers always make things seem worse than they are, and the reason they didn't show a preview for next week is obviously because they don't want to spoil us for the fact that the Tenth Doctor is fine. DAMMIT, FINE.

Which doesn't help the fact that the Tenth Doctor is my favorite character, my current OTC, and something bad just happened and NO and I want to protect him and I'm totally going to have nightmares now.

(Um, and just to clarify since I doubt these drunken half-asleep ramblings are making any sense--I LOVED this. That a TV character can get me this emotionally invested, in a good OMG MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT way. But it's going to be torture to wait a week.)

Oh! And also: Gunslinger!Rose! I loved her! She was beautiful and brilliant and kicked ass and killed Daleks and got jealous over Martha and missed the Doctor and was totally totally Rose. And the Doctor missed her so much and was so happy to see her and then it was really obvious something awful was about to happen but still OMG NO. (Back to *panic!flail*).

Is it Saturday now?

... How about now?
