Love Under Lock & Key

Diary of a lifelong fangirl, currently fawning over Downton Abbey, Lovejoy, The X-Files and a slew of countless nostalgic hits. Hopelessly in love with Lady Jane Felsham.

Speaking of everyone’s favorite pirate…

Not only did I see him on a pin today, oh no… I got the “real” thing. Hologram McShane (now with additional, o-inducing voice power) projected on mist in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

That is no longer a family friendly attraction, if you ask me. Rawr. ;-)

Here I am, minding my own business at Disneyland, when a random Lovejoy shows up on a pin! ;-)

Stuck on my phone, but I do believe they are graying up both mum & da! Can we just take a second to appreciate the collar of awesome on the new dress?!

Where did THIS come from?!

Being a private person, I hate succumbing to public displays when I can help it, but I could honestly cry right now, sitting in a very full terminal. I know that some would consider me overly emotional, over invested, and the like, but following the Downton Hotel RP has been such an escape for me… one that I’ve sadly come to rely on to get me through my day. The thought of it just ending… or changing… with no regard to the audience feels like an act of overinflated ego. (I often feel this way about directors/studio magnates when they cancel or “revamp” a series just because they can.

I guess I fail to understand the inner workings of the RP world. As far as I understood, tumblr is a public forum. Who’s to say that anyone should have the ability to hold power over anyone else? I guess I just don’t understand.

All I know is that I’m definitely hurt, confused and disappointed. It’s a bear being stuck on the crappy app too where I can’t exchange personal messages with anyone. I apologize if anyone has found this offensive, but I just don’t know how else to communicate.

One last post from San Francisco as we prepare to wing ourselves down to Los Angeles this afternoon…

I miss you all but am having the best vacation I’ve had in a long time! (It still didn’t keep my downstairs family from worming their way into my brain & forcing me to write another chapter, however! I guess the best characters never truly leave you.) ;-)

I check in when I can (& probably more than I should) on the app. (I can’t go long without my RP fix!) If you’ve mailed me, I’m so sorry that I can’t respond. Perhaps they’ll think to fix that in future builds…

Goodbye for now! Pretty posts from LA soon.
