for makeyourlist: Things The Doctor Likes.

[rude_not_ginger]

I have been told that lately things have been a bit depressing.

Actually, I think what I was told was:

[12:35] dickensfan63: I've just been feeling a bit down lately.
[12:41] thedothatgirl: You got a serious case of emo that you got to snap out of. Write about the things you like before you end up with a shitty haircut and I have to kick your ass for trying to steal my eyeliner.

So here are the things that I like.


• I like bananas and banana-flavored candies, especially if they're also banana-shaped.

• I like running down corridors, especially ones that are particularly twisty.

• I like the burbling noise of the TARDIS in mid flight.

• I like it when "funny" robots actually do something funny, like fall down a crater or say something terribly inappropriate that embarrasses their creator.

• I like talking very fast to people who can't catch up.

• I like debunking the references on incorrect Wikipedia pages (This, especially, after losing one week, four days, and thirteen hours to that ridiculous website during my sixth incarnation).

• I like the "sarcasm circuit" I've added to the TARDIS translation systems, because while it may create a very natural vernacular for most species, it makes talking to the most literal ones downright comical.

• I like it when people walk around the TARDIS in a great big circle (dubbed "pulling a Chesterton") to see if they can figure out why it's bigger on the inside.

• I like it when politicians are confused by the things that I say, completely lose their train of thought, and look incompetent (especially because they probably are).

• I like it when guns don't work. Just in general.

• I like it when companions ask me why we don't have things in the fridge, and then we go to an exotic place to eat.

• I like the term "Allons-y", especially when used after 2422, when French is abolished in the universe.

• I like trying to go somewhere and missing the mark completely, because wherever I've landed is no doubt more interesting.

• I like materializing in front of really bad traffic jams and how astonished everyone is when I get there first.

• I like going to particularly posh clubs and getting in with the psychic paper and all of the very fussy people there who can't understand how I got in.

• I like how there's always one bartender at the particularly posh clubs who thinks everyone else is absolutely ridiculous and will give me free drinks.

• I like doors that say DO NOT ENTER and buttons that say DO NOT PRESS because really interesting things happen when you enter and press them.


And those are just a small number of the things that make me happy.

Is that where Sarah Jane and the kids picked it up?

I like talking very fast to people who can't catch up.

You should have dinner with my ex-wife sometime.

I like it when politicians are confused by the things that I say, completely lose their train of thought, and look incompetent (especially because they probably are).

We need to sit down and have a nice long conversation, preferably away from Sarah Jane because I'm slightly afraid of her.

I like materializing in front of really bad traffic jams and how astonished everyone is when I get there first.

From all of us drivers, we hate you.

Don't you start some of the jams by materializing in front of coming traffic?

>Is that where Sarah Jane and the kids picked it up?

Nah, that's how Sarah's always been.

>You should have dinner with my ex-wife sometime.

You know, I wouldn't mind that! Been a while since I've been out with anyone for dinner!

>We need to sit down and have a nice long conversation, preferably away from Sarah Jane.

Should we? What about?

>From all of us drivers, we hate you.

It's the DC traffic, isn't it?

Doctor, you're a giant dork, do you know that?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Possibly.

[another-susan.livejournal.com]

Ian's reaction was the best! And things only got more interesting since you were in one of your moods and, you know, kidnapped them a little bit.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It was only for a little bit. I think the two of them did quite well, in the end.

[tempest-in-time.livejournal.com]

I like this... I might have to do one myself

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's very cathartic.

The last one made Ianto's blood pressure rise. It also made him put his hands on his hips.

I laugh.

Is it truly so difficult to understand dimensional transcendence?

Nyssa never had any difficulty with that. Why can you not have more companions like her?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I thought you didn't like Nyssa.

• I like it when guns don't work. Just in general.

Do say Doctor, I dont agree on this one. I prefer it when my gun works.

[walkingthedust.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I think they make pills for that.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I prefer it when things that kill people don't work.

You've got a child now, you should think about that.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

I like it when people walk around the TARDIS in a great big circle (dubbed "pulling a Chesterton") to see if they can figure out why it's bigger on the inside.

You were laughing at me, weren't you?

like it when companions ask me why we don't have things in the fridge, and then we go to an exotic place to eat.

Okay, but sometimes I really just want a bowl of cereal with milk that isn't harbouring sentient lifeforms.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

No! Never laughing. Well, mildly laughing.

But they sing to you!

[aliengeekgirl.livejournal.com]

I like talking very fast to people who can't catch up.

I'd hate to see you and Jack talking when he gets going.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Jack's one of those few people who can truly, truly keep up. But that's Jack for you.

[dial-a-psychic.livejournal.com]

My, hedgehogey haired man! Kudos on working on that cheerfulness and have a big, bold YES for banana flavored and shaped candy, buttons and doors with a NO sign on them and free drinks in posh pubs.

But what do you mean by psychic paper? Where can I get one? Is it a cereal box sort of price? Now I need one!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, my rooster-coiffed mate, I appreciate your appreciation for bananas, buttons, and drinks. But the psychic paper, I'm afraid, is a secret I simply can't share.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

I like doors that say DO NOT ENTER and buttons that say DO NOT PRESS because really interesting things happen when you enter and press them.

It's far more amusing when there isn't a sign and you simply wander right in. I don't think I'll ever forget Ribos.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, generally even if there is a sign, I tend to wander right in. Can't help m'self.

This actually explains a lot, Doctor.

• I like it when people walk around the TARDIS in a great big circle (dubbed "pulling a Chesterton") to see if they can figure out why it's bigger on the inside.

I'd also like to point out that I never did this.

• I like it when companions ask me why we don't have things in the fridge, and then we go to an exotic place to eat.

Really not amusing most of the time. You may only need to eat once in a while, but some of us have the metabolism of a hummingbird and can't wait for you to find a new non-disaster-prone planet every time we need a snack. And by we I mean me.

I'm actually rather fond of those myself, although I'd say NO TRESPASSING is my favorite. Not that I've illegally scaled a lot of fences in my time. Not at all.

That explains why you're so skinny.
