Jul. 3rd, 2008 07:00 pmI saw a few people post saying what they'd posted on this date in previous years, so I was curious and went to see what I posted...and apparently, in the nearly five years I've had this journal, I've only posted on July 3rd once, in 2004. That was a ficlet. I'm not that surprised, though--summers were my slow period, once I graduated from high school. But apparently I only posted like three times total in July last year? XD I like being more regular.
Though of course, being more regular means that you have to put up with me more often, and right now I am twitchy. There are a lot of things I want to talk about, except right now I'm tired of arguments. (And by arguments, I don't mean heated discussions with other people, I mean creating a conclusion which I will then support.)
Things I want to talk about include:
--How the resolution of a story comes from its themes
--How the two active fandoms with incomplete canon I've been in (Harry Potter and Doctor Who) compare, especially in the lead-ups to their finales, and how accurate I was
--Rose's reaction to the last bits of The Stolen Earth combined with one of Billie Piper's quotes in the Confidential and how I interpret them differently than others I've seen
--The main theories I've seen proposed and why I will be angry (mostly from a literary-analysis point of view)
Except that right now we're so close to finding out exactly what will happen that it sorta feels like it will be a waste of time to go really in depth on any of these topics. Also, I have a budding headache. After the finale, I might talk about these things retrospectively (actually, I probably will), but right now I have so many thoughts in my head that thinking about them more will likely give me even more of a headache than I already have.
I think I'm going to go spend the evening in the bookstore. That always calms me down.
