Josie Long just offered me a job flyering for her in Edinburgh and she said “you could hang out at the show any day and we’d have fun I swear!”
I am dying.

lerrerforlorry asked: It's good they've got a female Watson, obviously, but don't you think the whole show is going to be a bit rubbish? I dunno, it just seems like they're jumping on the band wagon to make a bit of money.

Lucy Liu To Play Watson In CBS’ Modern Sherlock...
pompiest:
The name is Watson, Joan Watson. Lucy Liu is set to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick in CBS’ drama pilot Elementary, whose tweaks to Arthur Connan Doyle’s classic include switching Watson’s gender to female. The project, written by Robert Doherty, is set in present day and stars Jonny Lee Miller as eccentric Brit Sherlock Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction...

Interviewer: Why aren't you more mainstream?
Gina Yashere: I am mainstream. Come to my live gigs and my audiences are 50% white, 50% black; I straddle that line perfectly. But the powers-that-be in television are still white middle-class men and they look at me and they don't see mainstream; they see black woman first. Most white comedians who can sell out theatres the way I do would have their own TV show by now, but it's not the same for black comics.
Interviewer: What do you think of the black comedy shows that have been on television recently?
Gina Yashere: No comment.
Interviewer: No comment because you don't want to slag off your friends or no comment because you'd like a show yourself so you don't want to upset the BBC?
Gina Yashere: You're trying to get me in trouble. All I'm going to say is there's not enough. Why are black comics all fighting for that one TV show? And if that one person gets a TV show the rest of us feel like we've been passed over for promotion? Jocelyn Jee Esien gets her show, and because she's got a TV show I know that I'm never going to get one, because they've got their "black female comedian" token slot filled. They look at us all the same, and yet they can have 100 white blokes on TV at one time and it's still not enough.

Are you submitting your sitcom script anywhere?? P.S. LET ME READ IT
WE DON’T KNOW HOW/WHERE/WHAT. Except to the BBC Writers’ Room. They will hopefully give us lots of advice.
And of course of course of course. Once it’s anywhere near finished … Which it really isn’t at the...

If anyone wants to let me know what I want to do with my life that’d be super helpful, thanks.

Finished Hons and Rebels (got it for Christmas but only bothered to start reading it yesterday. Silly me.) and now I am FRUSTRATED because Jessica had someone to run away with. I mean if I left home to live somewhere else it wouldn’t actually be running away at all but even so I can’t do it on my own because I am useless.

“What is so accurately described as ‘The Difficult Age’ was, in my case, lasting rather too long for comfort, and there were as yet no signs of my pulling out of it.”

Exactly, ‘Yes, I do like him. BUT NO, I am not one of… them.’
It’s not our fault that he’s stupidly fanciable.
