Urgh. I'm pretty sure my internal organs want to kill me. Also, I keep hitting Ctrl instead of shift and it is making typing very annoying.

URRRGH. I actually wanted to write about far more interesting things, like being back in Oxford and seeing Brokeback Mountain and hanging out with all the cool people once more, or even the French Fourth Republic (as I now know what it is), but sadly my mind is too fixated on the fact my body wants it to die. I love India as a country, I really do, but all native bacteria should be lined up and terminated with extreme prejudice.

So, um, meme. From chicklet73: The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Go on, it'll be fun. Also, I wanted to do the "10 things I assume you know about me" meme from a while back, but I think India intervened.

Now please excuse me while I drown in paracetamol and other assorted over-the-counter analgaesia. (God bless India, where there is no such thing as a counter.)

Oh, that's meeeean. I try to make her as little of a Mary-Sue as possible, let's start with that. But bits of me do creep in, you're right. Let's think. Um, my biggest self-indulgence where she's concerned is the way my clothes keep appearing in the TARDIS wardrobe. :) The red skirts are all mine, and so are the "impact validity" pointy suede boots and the red nail varnish. In a fic I'm writing at the moment, she's wearing a vintage dress that I have (only hers is a different colour from mine, for plot purposes). It is self-indulgence, like I said. :)

Beyond that, her sense of humour is a little bit like mine, and although she reads a lot of the same books I do, she reads them because she really likes them whereas I just tolerate them for university. She's more literary than I am, a lot more intelligent, a lot braver, and I can cook much, much better than she can. Does that answer your question? (Which was fab, as I've never really thought about it properly before).

*grins* I don't think she is, any more than, say, Rose is a Mary Sue. You made the comment on a meme, and I just wondered how she seemed Sue-ish.

Ah, the clothes. *grin* But they're pretty convincing, more so than if she wore a catsuit or just a leather bra or something.

Hee. I like the idea that she enjoys things that you have to study, because that's completely the Doctor.

She can't cook? Well, I suppose she's never really had the practice. :)

Yes, that definitely answers it. :D Was interesting to hear a bit about yourself and about girl!Doctor.

A catsuit or a leather bra? *is scared*

She can't cook, I think, because she's deliberately trying not to do stereotypically girlie things. She wants to be perverse, despite the fact Seven and Eight could cook well!

Well, I'm thinking of what a female Doctor would turn out like, worst case scenario. *grins evilly* Terrible mental image, isn't it?

I love that she's so against girlish thing, because she even mentions that Eight's more of a girl than she is. Is just interesting to see how slightly bothered she is by it.
