Another weird dream

[trinityvixen]

I had a dream that I was reading LJ and looking at minisinoo's journal (she's a fanfic author I kept track of for her X-Men movie-verse stuff until she went into Harry Potter AUs). As I read her entry, I got really excited because she had gotten into Doctor Who ficcing, and she's a good writer, great with dialogue, and does her homework with researching people's dialects and euphemisms, so I got really really excited over the idea that she was going to start writing Doctor Who stuffs.

Of course, I read the entry and it turns out to be a meta about how the Seventh and Ninth Doctors both have abida discipline. The word in italics means nothing to me, but when she italicizes things, it's kind of like when Jacob at TWoP does, which means it's an obscure drama term that just proves how much smarter than you the person using it is. She explained it as being something like "diet-exercise." The hyphenation was specific, but I couldn't say why. Abida is diet-exercise.

O-kaaaaay...Well, I have no idea what that means, even if my subconscious made it up, but her meta attempted to prove that something about those two Doctors specifically--their physical statures and personalities/moods--is abida or has abida or subscribes to an abida philosophy. All I could think of the entire time was, "I don't get it." I haven't seen episode one of the Seventh Doctor's stint; all I saw was his two seconds in the terrible US movie. He certainly didn't seem like a guy who's philosophy in life was one of diet and exercise. Christopher Eccleston, I'd give you. Not the other one.

Plus, no fanfic for me. I think my subsconscious was trying to tell me not to meta-post about fandom (like I did for BSG last night) so much any more. Because what I read in my dream is probably as coherent or interesting as what you all end up getting dumped on your f'list every other day.

That's alright, I just don't read your meta posts. :)

I think that's probably wise. I mostly get them out of my head...to get them out of my head. Like when you write about the terrible, terrible things you are enticed to do by Supernatural fen.

hee hee. I don't think anyone reads my SGA meta either. Particularly the last one...which isn't very well expressed.

Just because I don't watch the show. Otherwise, I really usually love meta. I think my subconscious was also mocking me for that.
