Day 20 – The Character Who Is Most Like You
I actually was curious about this one. I think I have a pretty good understanding of myself but I asked a couple people (Kyle, Jasa, Mom, Dad, Sylvia) what they thought and, though I'm not exactly like any one character, I got basically the same two answers consistently.

have i mentioned i don't mind talking about myself? )

Time for a fandom-related happy update! In which I will pretend to play catchup on the Top 5 meme, and also start a new Who meme! Because if there's one thing I'm good at, it's staying on top of stuff like this! Right?...

Everything behind the cuts is really picture-heavy, so just be warned! But you should also know that IT WILL PROBABLY BE WORTH IT.

And now to start the Thirty Days of Doctor Who meme!

Day 01 - Your Favourite Quote

The first thing that sprang to mind was this:


"They took her face and just chucked her out in the street. As a consequence that makes this simple... very, very simple. Because now, Detective-Inspector Bishop, there is no power on this earth that can stop me!"
~The Idiot's Lantern, 2x07

That intensity, that dark kind of frenzy he gets when something is really important to him, is one of the things I love most about Ten. And that passion is, of course, the reason that Doctor/Rose is my OTP forever and ever. It's absurd how much he loves her. This scene makes my heart melt and my stomach churn - two of my favorite reactions to Who!

Honorable mention:
"Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person."
~The Lazarus Experiment, 3x06
Because this is one of my favorite things about this show: the celebration of being human, of living life. While I absolutely do believe that this quote is a Rose reference (ISN'T EVERYTHING REALLY), I also think it's just a really beautiful comment on people in general, the way the Doctor sees them. It's wonderful.

And that's it for tonight!

Well let's get this out of the way.

I saw Wicked on Saturday. Variations on the theme 'OMG' behind the cut. )

I just finished this book The Last Summer of You and Me, and it was all right. It was the same author as the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books, which I guiltily admit to having liked quite a lot. The Last Summer was basically a "more grownup" version with fewer characters to keep track of. It was pretty predictable and the story was nothing very new, but it was nicely written and it made me happy, and it didn't take much suspension of disbelief for me to believe in the characters as real people with real lives.

That's opposed to The Time Traveler's Wife, which was much less predictable and a more original story, but which I hated completely. It was boring, not compelling in the least, and completely unsatisfying at every turn in the storyline. Last Summer was only an average beach romance, but the author took care to let me fall in love along with the characters, and even knowing from page one that they would end up together I got upset with them when things got in their way. Wife kept me guessing and had higher stakes and was alllll about how "dizzyingly romantic" their story supposedly was, only I never cared. Not even a little bit.

So what do you think, flist? Would you rather read a unique story that's interesting by its nature, or a fairly stereotypical one that has nothing new way to say but has a better way to say it?
