SQUIRREL  
Yesterday goldy_dollar and I saw "Up". It was very cute and I cried, which was probably a positive step towards convincing Frances I am not a Cylon. The talking dogs were the best part but I accept that because talking dogs are AWESOME. Whatever, princess movies, 101 Dalmatians ftw. I also took the last possible bus home and during it some creepy drunk old man came on to me. Hurrah! Unfortunately for him he will have to join the queue of creepy old men who want some of this.

I also stole from Frances "The Story of Martha" (self-explanatory) and "Winner Takes All" (Nine and Rose). It occurs to me that the Doctor Who books are kind of very hilarious but only a truly deranged branch of us are brave enough to read them, so I might do some summary/review things for lulz. And for people like lacunaz who want to see Gandhi in the TARDIS but not for the price of $14.50. Also, I just really really like summarising things. I don't know, I have strange passions.

What's with the radio buttons in Part the First? I would have selected several of those, though I guess I've sort of settled on Ten2. It's easier to type in a sentence. There are a couple there though that irrationally give me teh raaaaaage. And I hate it when the Daily editors change my pairing note so that instead of Ten2/Rose or Ten II/Rose or whatever I've settled on that day, it reads Handy/Rose. Nuuuuuu JUST STOP THAT!

I didn't vote in Part the Second because clearly the most important thing in anyone's life should be Doctor Who.

I just kind of arbitrarily decided to have radio buttons, I dont' exactly remember the thought process. I use almost all of them all the time.

Mostly it's because everyone seems to find Handy really offensive and I get a kick out of this, because I love him and use "Handy" all the time.

That is solid reasoning.

I tend to think TenII looks prettier, but Ten2 is easier to type so that one it is.

How come there is no "HDU EVEN THINK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE THAN DOCTOR WHO"- ticky box?

Fun fact! I still cringe when I see this: The Doctor (Duplicate 10th) or people seriously calling him "Clone!Doctor". D:

Teaspoon uses the Duplicate 10th nomenclature so I'm kind of stuck with that. I hate people calling him a clone though cos he's not.

Nooooooo now all of Kali's flist knows I'm cheap and live vicariously through her for lulz!!

I chose Handy, but I also use Ten2.

Oh Harry Potter. I think you should make a poll asking people if they actually believe you haven't completely abandonned that fandom like a redheaded step-child.
Kali_thirty2flavors on June 5th, 2009 07:02 pm (UTC)
I don't know if it's that you're cheap or I'm just more fiscally irresponsible.

Yeah I use both equally.

LIRL IT'S TRUE. I should make a poll about "WHO THINKS I SHOULD UPDATE SILLY LOVE SONGS?"

I don't understand why there was no option for "I'M ONLY HERE FOR DOCTOR WHO DUH" on that last part. So I abstained.
Kali_thirty2flavors on June 5th, 2009 06:53 pm (UTC)

TenII, although I don't mind 10.5 or Ten2.

I hate Handy though, I'm not sure why but it really bugs me. I find it a little demeaning.

Also; so need to have a 'KEEP WITH DOCTOR WHO' option for that last poll. Nothing is more important.

Kali: rose tyler -- defender of the earth_thirty2flavors on June 5th, 2009 07:33 pm (UTC)
Apparently a lot of people do! I had no idea, but apparently I'm contrary enough that the apparent fandom hatred for it only makes me want to use it more frequently. Kind of like how I always liked Rose, but then when I realized everyone HATES Rose I felt like I ough tto love her more just to compensate.

I really should've made that an option. Strangely it didn't even occur to me.

I suppose I could've made the poll option "John Smithtylernoble" as I've taken to saying, but it didn't occur to me.

Also I just have a vendetta against "John Smith" that hasn't quite transferred to the others yet, even though they operate on the same basic principle.

Handy is not offensive; Well, I don't see it like this. It's cute. (Maybe because it sounds like an actual name: Andy).
Kali: the oncoming storm_thirty2flavors on June 10th, 2009 12:12 am (UTC)
Exactly! Plus "Handy' is an actual word and being described as "handy" is not really an offensive thing.
wendymr: Ten Rose kisswendymr on June 10th, 2009 12:04 am (UTC)
Answer to your first question: none of the above! I call him the duplicate Doctor, and I loathe 'clone' and 'Handy'. I can't call him Human Ten because he's not human :) None of the other suggestions appeal to me in any way.
drewniany_wilk: dw#doctor_i_rose_01raambling on June 16th, 2009 11:21 pm (UTC)
