Still in-and-out of the internet for a few days, but I'll be brief.
First, the good.
I MET BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH. He definitely thinks I'm a creepy stalker because I may have stood with a bunch of other fangirls while he rode his motorcyclebike out of the theatre and might have yelled "HI!" when he slowed down to go over a speed hump. Because there is no barrier between my brain and my mouth. Really, none. *buries face in hands*
My only comfort is that he'll probably never see me again. And hopefully won't remember me at all anyway.
(HE RIDES A MOTORBIKE WITH THE YELLOW "DON'T HIT ME" JACKET. HOW AWESOME?)
Then, the sad.
While waiting for him outside the theatre (I went to a Q&A hosted by Boyle, Miller and Cumberbatch to raise money for Dramatic Need,) I found out that Elisabeth Sladen has passed away. (Remember, I was for a while, and somebody happened to text me about it.)![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fiwen1010 and I just met a bunch of fans of hers, and while I've only seen her in a handful of recent Doctor Who and Sarah Jane Adventures episodes, she was fantastic. I happened to be at a house with the 1997 Dr Who annual yesterday, and I flipped through hilariously dated stories about Tom Baker as the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith having wacky adventures. I knew that Sarah Jane Smith was brilliant in the shows, but she was figuring out stuff and solving puzzles right with the Doctor, and it was Elisabeth Sladen who brought that to life, and I only hope I can get my hands on some of her old episodes soon to do a proper tribute watching.
It's nearly two in the morning, but I'm trying to fumble my way to saying that she will be missed by many, even me.
With that, I'm off to bed, with weirdly mixed feelings.
