Nothing Is Real

OMG I MET JOHN BARROWMAN.
Well, sort of.
He's in Toronto right now being the judge of the Canadian version of 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria' so he was there for this promotion thing they were doing. And I rushed over like a motherbitch (after telling all my friends, of course). And it was HARDCORE. I haven't met anyone famous before and this was my first time. I was SO nervous. I didn't know what to do. I have horrific fangirl urges but at the same time I have this need to stay cool and not bug the person. So I'm in a constant conflict of emotion. And he's signing things and I'm wavering over whether or not to get something and he says, "Does anything else want anything signed or we're going to move on to pictures." And I edge forward nervously then hold out my notebook going, "I'm sorry, I feel really guilty." And he says, "Don't feel guilty," and signs it. I kind of backed off, feeling a little stunned.
Then, after he'd done pictures, my friend Deirdre went up and asked for a hug and he gave her one. She then said, "I wore my 'Vote Saxon' t-shirt in honor of the occasion," and he grinned, then booed jokingly.
Wow.
WOW. Deirdre can't get over it either, which makes me feel a bit better.
Anyway, we also made a new friend: another Doctor Who fan, called Krissie. ...I think I'm spelling her name right. She's awesome. She came with us to Kensington after and helped me with my Four costume for Polaris.
That said, Marion came up with a good way for me to get over my star nervousness. I can make them a personalised comic! That way, I feel like I'm not just taking from them. They're getting too. I am SO doing that with Gareth David-Lloyd.

I own Oregon Trail. You must have heard of that, computer game, pioneer simulation-y thing. Right. So I have a bit of an obsession with going in, naming all the characters after a certain fandom, and then playing it through, writing in the Diary in character. Incredibly geeky, I know. I've already done it once with the characters from Howl's Moving Castle. And now, because of how much I'm into it, I decided to do it with Doctor Who, with the Doctor (Tenth), Rose, Jack, Donna, Martha and Sarah Jane.
And I'm going to post it here. The italics is the stuff the Diary puts in automatically and the rest is actually me. A warning: most of this was done between two and three in the morning so it may be rather bad. Or out of character. Sorry. Also, it's HUGE, so it's going to be in two posts. Spoilers for Season Two of Torchwood.
