[-] My rampant crush on all things British television continues UNABATED thanks to tinnny who FORCED me to watch My Mad, Fat Diary, and yikes, I think I've found my new My So-Called Life. I've only seen the first couple of episodes so far, but I am IN LOVE WITH IT. tinnny made the comment that she suspects they've set the show in the mid-90s as opposed to the ( Read more... )

I KNOW!!! At first I thought it was a gag. Then I thought it was, like, some regional, middle of no where paper that no one reads. THEN I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FREAKING AUSTRALIAN.

No words.

My Mad Fat Diary IS FABULOUS! Probably needs trigger warnings for eating disorders, suidide, self harm and FOR LIFE AS A TEENAGER, tbqh! Haha!

I THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND. I'm about to watch episode four. Like, in two minutes. When I'm done replying to comments :)

I REALLY DO LOVE IT TO TINY BITS AND PIECES! I am about to watch episode four. RIGHT NOW.

I need icons!

tinnny February 2 2015, 10:27:52 UTC
Awesome! I have made some. Inspiration, a sure sign that I love the show. But I've uploaded only one so far (this one).

I am very happy to spend time with MMFD right now and would love to make some more. For you, too, if you want to use any of mine.

Let me know which character (or whatever else) you'd like on them and I can post them in... say, 10 hours. [am at work right now]

I know what you mean about inspiration being a sure sign you love something!

I would love to use some of your icons if you did make/upload more! I basically love everyone in this bar, so whoever inspires you the most is a-okay by me! My absolute faves are Rae, Tixy, Izzy, Archie, and Finn. I THINK! Haha! I love them allllll!

Have fun at work! It's almost bed-time for me. I'm just going to watch this episode (AND MAYBE ONE MORE, OMG! I have no self-control!).

RIP nereemac. Single, ugly, and possessing no social skills, she nevertheless managed to earn two masters degrees and read a great many books.

Also, hello!

I have not seen My Mad Fat Diary, but I think that may change soon.

That nereemac sounds orright to me!

HELLO! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE! YOU DISAPPEARED! Well, first you got, like leprosy (I was gonna say ebola but I don't think you're allowed to joke about that one anymore! It's kinda like pretending you have a bomb in your carry on at the airport!). ANYWAY! HI! YOU'RE BACK!

Oh, do watch My Mad Fat Diary! IT IS SO FREAKING GOOD!!! It's not as atmospheric or moody as Glue, in fact, it's freaking hilarious at points, but it's black and it's raw and it's ugly and it's beautiful and it's painful and it's so achingly REAL. I love it to pieces already and I'm only three episodes in (about to be four!).

Heh. I have actually still been here, just not posting and barely commenting, so basically just reading everyone's posts like a creeper. Yeah, life has been pretty sucktastic so far this year, what with relatives dropping like flies and having the fucking PLAGUE and not being allowed to work.

On the other hand, I now have a decent data allowance, so I've been hanging out on tumblr for the prettiness. (I'm so-much-purple)

And I have now watched the first two episodes of My Mad Fat Diaryand I AM IN LOVE, OMG. Rae's facial expressions are pure gold, and I desperately want her and Finn to smoosh their stupid perfect faces together.

And the soundtrack! Argh, perfect soundtrack of my youth is perfect.

(Also, Rae's mother's car is the same model as my first car, even the same reg. year. Except mine was a super stylish metallic powder blue. And I didn't own it till almost a decade later.)

And I have now watched the first two episodes of My Mad Fat Diaryand I AM IN LOVE, OMG. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this feeling so much, the feeling of FINDING SOMETHING THAT ~SPEAKS TO ME IN A REALLY UNEXPECTED PLACE. Oh, lord. Like, I would never have considered this show if tinnny hadn't put a youtube link up to the episodes. AND THEN, BAM!

I can't say anymore because SPOILERZZZZ. But yes, the freaking soundtrack. DUDE.

WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO EPISODE FOUR IS ALL I'M SAYING!!
