Weird thought for the day
Does a woman with a good singing voice have a more satisfying* O-voice than a woman with a poor singing voice?
*assuming such a thing appeals to you of course.

The dirtier sounding, the better I say
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Question for you all. In 2011, I'm planning on finally doing my eleven Doctors crisis crossover, since I can't do franchise crossovers. So, in the narrative, eventually the characters learn what Ten did to Donna. My question is, out of the former Companions and incarnations, who do you see as breaking Ten's jaw over it?

Probably Tegan - largely because she seems to be most prone to righteous indignation without thinking things through first.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Thanks, Seafort. I've been asking my friends both on and offline and here's a list so far:
Eleven
Nine
Ace
Donna herself
Wilf
Six
Maybe I'll just do an 'Airplane!' lineup for them. Lord knows he deserves it...

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Of those, I can see Donna thumping him, possibly Wilf depending on when he gets pulled in from, but the Doctors and Ace are far more prone to thinking things through and/or realising that "best case scenario" is not a synonym for "good". The repeatedly, painfully hammered home point that the available alternatives were "serious mindfuckery" or "death" makes it abundantly clear that the Doctor's solution was in Donna's best interests.

10 pages in 6-8 hours .... GO! *

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
The question is, which smilie is you, and which is the paper?
Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I've always wanted to get people to do good things for no real reason, even if they are little things. So I'm going to encourage people to smile more, because smiling makes people feel better, and hopefully it'll make someone elses day better, which may make someone elses day better and so on and so forth. If only people actually cared about making people feel better, in general they don't.

-sigh- had a physics 3 exam mock yesterday. It's the highest grade stuff I need to get a full individual physics GCSE and...the paper wasn't even worth marking, it didn't return a grade. I'm thinking similar is going to happen in statistics. No matter how hard I try revising I just can't pick it up.
Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I have a concert tonight and my voice crashed down hard this morning. I sound like some woman spending her life smoking and drinking in shady bars. The best I can manage is some blues-like voice, whereas I need it capable of singing as a choir voice.

I hope you never lose that spirit as you grow up, Nick.
