Recced because: When I started looking for things to rec I went through my Teaspoon favourites, and was once again struck by the stark poignancy of this drabble. (Like all good drabbles, it's so much bigger on the inside.) Imagine my surprise when I realised that it had never been recced (nor had the author), and I am very pleased to rectify this. (You don't need any knowledge of Torchwood in order to appreciate it, by the way. It stands beautifully on is own.)

nerds ftw! UNITE!
Absolutely. :) Oh and they love Star Wars too of course (and LotR) - as it happens we watched Spaceballs last night and they *adored* it! (It's a 12 and only one of them is over that age, but...)

I am also proud. when I do not want to bury them like the little treasures they are *g*
Heeeeeeeeee!

Hubby is a fanboi - I am a lucky woman. He is also a dirty, dirty enabler. *Facepalm*
Count your blessings. Mine... tolerates fandom. Just.

See? Common ground. *Hands*
I love making new friends. <3 <3 <3

Oh my! something for them to fight over I assume! I think you deserve a nap!
Oh not at all. Except they want MORE. /o\ But I've had a lovely tea (the food variety) and in a little bit there's be tea tea and cake (bakewell tart made by my beloved. He might scowl at my Mac, but he has other talents!).

And dancing! Here's the master:

Ohhhh, SPACEBALLS! LOVE IT!! I dunno...we won't let the bitties watch Codename Kids Next Door or Billy and Mandy, but we let them watch The Dark Crystal. I guess it is all according to parental taste, really.

So very lucky!! Except he keeps trying to steal my slash goggles, damn him!! *Shakes fist*

Right?!

Good day all around then - love hearing that...

SNAGGED. He is the bestest ever!

*HUGS*

Spaceballs... Yeah, we like daft comedy in our house. And I think that as long as you watch *with* them, kids can cope with a lot - and it's better that they know that they can just ASK, and we'll try to explain. (Although we've told them that they're not allowed to watch South Park until they're 23...)

Ah, I can see that being a problem. Although weren't you complaining about enablers somewhere else? ;)

Just quickly - gotta dash, am just trying to get on top of my comments - then the gif is from this vid, which is The Best Thing Ever:

Spaceballs, Men in Tights (well, anything Brooks is Classic!Awesome) - we also like Hudson Hawke, Office Space and Dead Man on Campus for examples of our less than stellar taste, lol!

I do complain about my enablers, don't I? LOL! I love them all...but they seem to think I have talent or some shit *headscratch* they've about got me convinced, damn them!! And here I thought I was just some twisted fangirl, lol...

Saved to watch!! You is the best...

*HUGS*
