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.

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?

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?

You've never met Chrissie, then.
About the politician thing. There are loads of people who'd want you strung up for sticking us with Saxon the disappearing act and some of them wouldn't take as long putting two and two together as I did.
Unless you turn up on the Beltway every morning, I can't blame you for the DC traffic. I had to give up driving Maria to school everyday if I wanted to get to work on time. Between us, if Maria wasn't already in school, we'd be on the first flight back to Britain.

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

You were laughing at me, weren't you?

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

Besides, all this talk of guns just seems like overcompensation to me.
A bit like sonic screwdrivers.From:
