FMM, last post. <3
So Troy won FMM, and I'm feeling:
But - I thought I'd share one of my 'campaigning' comments, because it highlights one of the reasons I got so caught up:
~~~~~~~~~
This is one of those personal comments about why Eleven is important to me.
The thing is, I have three young daughters. And they're too young for Veronica Mars and Buffy and Scully and all the other awesome ladies. I'll introduce them in time, but for now they're nothing but abstracts. But, what my daughters do have, is Doctor Who. And Doctor Who has given them role models in abundance.
I can tell them:
- Stand up for yourselves, and what you believe, like Amy.
- Be good and loyal and decent like Rory.
- Always remember that women can be just as brilliant as men, if not better - just look at River!
- And be kind, like the Doctor.
~~~~~~~~~
And here's where I turn into Unashamed Proud Mother. Yesterday The Cherub (who's 5) got a special, handwritten sticker in school, which said this:
I was very kind and let somebody have a prize because I already had one.
Letting someone else having a prize was her own idea, btw, and she clearly impressed her teacher. *is too pleased for words*
So although I came home to find that Eleven had come second (which - DW fans, can you remember a year ago? And now he came second in FMM! Our boy did good!) - I couldn't care less, cause when it comes to what really matters I think I'm somehow getting it right. I have a little girl who is kind. ♥
