Can we talk about this GIF please? Can we talk about how the Doctor isn’t even looking at River when he grabs her hand. He doesn’t have time; He just grabs a hold of his wife’s hand and he’s pulling her away from the Weeping Angels. He grabbed her hand several times in this episode. He kissed her cheek in their first scene together. He healed her broken hand using his own regeneration powers. Personally a part of me wondered if the Doctor had married River to make her happy, but after seeing this episode I knew that wasn’t true. He married her because he wanted to keep her safe with him for the rest of her life. He kept grabbing her hand to keep her by his side, because he’s different now without her. He married her because even though he tries constantly to keep her safe, he knows he’s not safe without her. He married River because he needs her.
First: I know from unpleasant experience that working on homework after 9pm results in headaches, nausea, and almost vomiting. So why am I feeling this way when I don’t have any homework and it’s only 10pm? Bleh
Second: Why is it hard to break a habit when I’ve only been trying two days to stop? I think it’s because I’m trying to stop eating chocolate ice cream every stupid night during the same unfortunate time that I start my period and therefore want it even more. Self, I don’t think you thought this through very well.
Third: I’m watching a chick flick.
Yup. I’m not confused. It’s hormones.
(Although, I’m not sure how the first point fits in with this whole scheme…actually, it might indicate that I’ve been reading too much….ahh, look…they’re kissing…the end.)

Okay, I’m totally confused (but it’s probably only hormones)
Illustrations from The Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald - here via Project Gutenberg, and here as an audiobook.
Illustrations were found at Once On A Tyme - nice little piece about the book and a few other illustrations as well.
"If I’m with a group of people I’m OK, but I’m actually quite a nervous person if I’m just one to one with somebody. I’ve got a lot better as I’ve got older… I’d never been on a date in my life ever because the idea of just being sat with one person… I’m making myself sound socially inept here and I’m absolutely fine in a group of people but I am quite shy."
I was walking down a street (like the Universal Studios version of Rome or Florence) with this guy and my two brothers for protection. Somehow, I got ahead of the three of them. Right before I entered an alley (which was really a backstreet that you only take as a shortcut, but you should never go into alone because who knows what’s lurking behind the nearest dumpster), I thought, “Hmm bad idea to go in alone,” turned and saw three “bad guys” to my left, glanced to my right, and noticed my brothers were gone, but Mr. Music artist was right there ready to help me get away and beat up the bad guys.
Who was it?
…
Usher
…..
and I don’t even listen to his music….
and the little that I’ve heard, I don’t really like….
Kind of relieved though, even though I’m 22, I’ve never really had crushes (subconscious or otherwise); it’s nice to know I can be attracted to somebody once in a while.

Finally had a dream (that I remember) where a contemporary tv/movie/music artist plays a significant role in saving the day.
I took these pictures during a visit to the 16th-century chained library of Zutphen, in the east of the Netherlands. It is one of three such libraries still in existence in Europe. Nothing much has changed here for 550 years.
