Life's a trifle strange lately. On the one hand, I've survived the ficathon without having to commit seppuku to atone for my shame, and there's a truly excellent story being written to my prompts to boot; on the other hand, my mother's a bit down due to the death of one of her younger cousins (whom I have never met. My ignorance of my own damn

Wow, thank you! It helped that I was able to devote all my attention to school, unlike all the people I met who had jobs and even kids to contend with...

A paragraph's a bit much to quote, so to everything you said about Ten, OMG YES. ^^ EXACTLY. That's exactly how I've been feeling! It's damn hard to find anyone who doesn't like Ten, which is why I latch on to anyone I can find. :) nina_ds of the other comment up there was the first person I found who agreed with me. It'd been driving me absolutely up the wall, trying to figure out why I was the only person who saw anything wrong with him. Once I found just one other person who saw it too, it really did wonders for my peace of mind. It took a very long time. I'd pretty much given up on him after TCI.

I don't really want to be watching S4, either... But I am. I suppose it's because I've heard good things about Donna, and because it's a good way to stay somewhere in the fandom, even if the term "fan" doesn't exactly apply anymore. I'm thinking of just giving it up entirely; easier to ignore its existence that way. "Huh! It's too bad they didn't do more seasons of that Doctor Who-- I can't believe those bastards canceled it. They did such great work in the first season, even if Eccleston left, another one would've had to be awesome! But I guess we'll never know." That would be such a nicer way to live.

As to the spoons-- yeah, I've promised to help in the effort should Donna ever fall in love with Ten. From what I've seen, I should start preparing to contribute. Alibis, we'll probably need alibis... Plane tickets... phone trees... ;)

there's been rumors a'circling that good things do not come to her-- oh, dear. What rumors? (I'm not averse to spoilers in this fandom; what's to spoil?) I'm still trying not to care, but I know people who do. Which worries me, because every time I think I hate this show too much to be disappointed by it, they somehow manage it anyway. It astonishes me, really.

Re: driving-- yeah, that's pretty much my problem, too ^^; Compounded by other things. My dad wanted to teach me, but he's only off a couple days a week, and he's got plenty to do, so if I wanted lessons from him, I would've had to ask about it pretty persistently-- and I just did not care enough to do that. So, three lessons in about as many years. Eventually he realized this strategy wasn't working. ;) I only got my learner's permit because I needed a photo ID to register for college... But since we moved out into the middle of nowhere, I've got to learn sooner or later. I suspect it will probably be later. Ah, well. :D

All I can say is: ditto. Between you and Nina I feel sane again, amongst all the rabid Ten fangirls ...

That would be such a nicer way to live. I second that. Of course I've been completely ignoring the existence of Ten and reading AU Eleven girl!Doctor fic today, which makes me too happy for words. It's rather sad that AU11 is so much better than 10, but she really is. If I could, I'd go straight from 9 to 11 and bypass 10 entirely.

I loved that whole chunk but something about "phone trees" just made me laugh so much harder. :D

oh, dear. What rumors? I've read\heard that she's getting killed off at some point. Probably at the end of DT's run (I assume) which, if true, she very unfair to Catherine Tate. I'll see if I can find a proper source on the rumor. Ahh, just searched Yahoo!Answers and apparently Catherine only signed on for one season. It's also, apparently part of why Rose is returning. I do love Billie, but I'd like to keep Catherine a while longer too! Can't we keep her and kick 10 out of the Tardis into some unfortunately misplaced black hole or ... something? :D

I need to start reading fic again. I haven't read any whofic in ages... and some good Nine-fic and AUs would probably do me some good. I suppose, if you really put your mind to it, you could come up with an AU Doctor that was worse than Ten, but it wouldn't be easy. Possible, but the summary would probably give it away. "OMG guyz this is a fic about my totally kewl 11th doctor beating up daleks PLZ R&R KTHXBAI"... At least there'd be fair warning. Instead of the great ambush that was Ten.

Phone trees-- probably 'cause it's so many decades out of date ^^ Still gotta be harder to track, right? Unless they've got all our phones tapped... Well, even so, no way the American government's letting the UK into their business, so that ought to safeguard everyone if we work it right... ;)

I've read/heard that she's getting killed off at some point-- really?! No way in hell they could pull that one off. That'd be bad. Though I thought I'd heard that Tennant would be back in 2010 or something following a year of defiling Shakespeare? Where the hell was it I heard that? I keep hearing cruel rumors that he's leaving, but my luck, he's determined to set a new record for Longest Tenure as the Doctor. Of course, without better writing, pushing him into a black hole wouldn't help.... but it would sure be fantastic to watch. Only trouble is a) no Eleven and b) technically, that might mean he'd outlive us all if he survived the tidal forces. Maybe a star, or space, or a nice big crevasse? Might Donna shoot him? For the good of the universe, you know. ;)
