Chapter 168 ~ Why... why oh f*cking why... [That and more Whotastic silliness!]

You know, there are a lot of reasons why I'm in a slightly ill-tempered mood as of lately.

To the citizens of the countries of Russia and Georgia, GET A FCUKING GRIP ON YOURSELVES!!

I could care less about the Olympics right now. I could care less at the fact that I have to be back at work tomorrow morning. I could even care less about the highly-annoying secret admirer I have at the moment. I could care less about all these things. I just want a day where the term "war" just refuses to exist.

*sigh* Unfortunately, I fear that may never happen at least in my lifetime.

On a much funnier note...


I adopted a Time Lord!
Special thanks to the Doctor Who Shoebox of Triviality for the cute little Time Lord that I can't help but <3!! Hee!

Okay. Seriously, I should be heading out for the evening. Got things to do, and quarters for laundry to get. *sigh* As if there was an end to the drama. There seems to be no end though...



Ah well. :-\

Chapter 167 ~ ...oh my God, it HAS been a year...

In the North of England, it rains & it rains & it rains. Yet we still produced the Industrial Revolution, the Trade Union Movement, the Communist Manifesto, and even the Goddamned computer. And down South, where the sun never sets, you took all our money, & what did you produce?

Chas & fucking Dave!!!

Friday 10 August 2007 - Chapter 35: Farewell, Tony--you never walked alone.


Anthony H. Wilson, 20 February 1950 - 10 August 2007

A year ago today, tonight, Tony Wilson lost his battle with kidney cancer at the age f 57. I still remember... all the stories, all the tributes. The threads on the NOOL and Barney's Angels forums. The playlist I had assembled with many things Factory-related.

Saturday 11 August 2007 - Chapter 35b: More Thoughts on the King of Madchester.

So today as I'm looking back on the pictures... like this one in particular...

it's really hard for this to sink in. It really is. I still can't believe a year's past since Mr. Wilson passed away.

*sigh* Ah well. Not much else to say now, except to close in a modified form of the commendation I closed with a year ago here in the Underground [and until the next round]...

A year has come and gone, and things haven't been the same. You have been, and still, sorely missed by family, friends and fans.

Rest in peace, Tony Wilson, Sir. You never walked alone.

With love and gratitude, and all our regards,

The original ~

And a siggie to match with this lovely avatar *clicky thumbnail*


*sigh* I swear, I've gone Baker-mad. *lol*

Chapter 166 ~ Here's to 5 years of putting the NUT in the NUTHOUSE!! *smirk!*

Alright, before I get to the fun stuff, right now it's 96 bloody degrees and with the heat index it feels like 101. No wonder I'm sweating as I just returned to the Underground from work. Bleah.

And now, on to a bit more sillier news! :-)

As we Underground Citizens know, today's my 5-year anniversary of being the resident goofball of my workplace. Sure the day was enough to piss me off to the maximum but then, right around lunch rush we all at the store had a surprise visitor. To which I can only say, Thank you, Sir, for making my 5 years...


Yep, that would be Ronald McDonald. He was so thrilled to meet someone on the day of her 5-year anniversary. It's all brill! ^_^

After work I treated myself to a chocolate-dipped ice-cream cone. Unfortunately, I had to flip it upside-down [the chocolate-covered ice cream] onto the cone. And of course, whenever Sunshine's got ice cream, we have a problem. Really.

So one of my coworkers [who shall remained unnamed!] caught me in this one today.

Heh... Upside-down Chocolate-dipped ice cream cone: FAIL!


So you can tell that yes, today did end on a much better note. *lol*

And FINALLY... hey Pouncer, you know anything about THIS going on in Frat Row?


If so, let me know stat. Thanks, Pounce.

And FINALLY, yes, I did make more Doctor Who icons. And most of 'em are devoted to the brill 4th Doctor portrayed by Tom Baker. That and a new sig!


And for the sig *clicky thumbnail*


*whee!!*/*whew!!* All done now. God I need a nap now...


*to everyone who's helped bear the load of work-drama these past five years, you know who you are. thank you so much. i <3 you all! cheers!!*

~ me, 5 years Sunshine-strong, and growing...

Chapter 165 ~ Year 5, Day 366: The Eve

So tomorrow it'll be five years to the day, 8 A.M. being the hour, that I started working at McDonald's. I really can't imagine that it's been 5 years since I was just a naive, shy, awful quiet yet talkative Lobby girl. And I'd never guess that five years later I'd be a Crew Trainer and the resident Drive-thru Heroine of the four stores in this town. And to be honest, it's been an insane 5 years being the brilliant Miss Sunshine of North DeLand. A lot has happened.

Particularly within my second year in which I almost lost my battle with depression.

Today one of my regulars stopped by my drive-thru and, looking at my hat and tie, asked me if I still collected pins [a good tradition started within those brill five years]. After I gave the affirmative she gave me what has now become a new, special momento for me of the inner battles I had to overcome those five years to be where I am today. And it holds such specialty that I had it fixed on a safety pin [it's a punk thing] on my workshirt, right over my heart.

Turns out, that customer is a mental-health counsellor. And that pin shows her--and my--worthy cause:


I have officially codenamed this pin my 5th-Anniversary of Joy pin, for the pain I had to face and fight to bring the joy to others, as well as a reminder of the joy they bring in return when I need it the most. In times of darkest despair.

Which, speaking of, a fellow David Tennant forum poster, Nichola, is facing a slight bout with depression herself. And I'm wearing this pin especially for her right now, and keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

Ah well. Tomorrow is my 5th Anniversary of being Sunshine. I think some New Order, Kraftwerk, and indie-rock are in order for the soundtrack to what promises to be a very interesting day tomorrow...

Onward to what the next 5 years will bring...

Chapter 164 ~ So lately I've been madly creative...

...since my fascination with Doctor Who. No, seriously, it's been madcap surreal. Mostly it's been avatars. And I've made a good whole slew of 'em. So... I think today'll be a good day to post all I've done, avatar-wise, so far.

Welcome to the Creativity Corner, Underground Citizens.

First run, from last month...

*WHEW!!* Now that everyone's updated you can now see that I've been very, very busy. And mark my words, there'll be plenty more before this month's over. Just y'all watch!!
