[OOC] Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

[Genkai]

Ten had a bow tie at one point if I recall but I'm kind bored of the whole bow ties and suspenders and trench coats. I'm glad it's changed up, albeit slightly. I wanted to see Twelve's sonic more than anything. If he got a new one.

[Black Ninja]

Oh yes, the sonic should be pretty cool. And the final layout of what the TARDIS will look like.
I wonder how much of a change it will be after it gets reset.

Though I think the most interesting thing will be what is he like. What's his personality going to be like. We got a few glimpses in both the Christmas special and the 50th but I can't wait for a full episode to see what he is like.

[Genkai]

We have some time to wait and predict, that's for sure. I hope we can get back to the charm of DW that it had in old who or the first few seasons of the new stuff. The past 2-3 seasons have lacked a special something I always thought. And the characters really need a makeover. I also hope romance of any sort is on the back burner because it just made things messy and cliche and distracted from any decent "explore and help others" based plots. This could bring in a renewed era for the show since it passed the 50th mark.

[Black Ninja]

We'll see. Clara's personality was a bit flirtatious. However, I'm not sure if she would be so with Capaldi.
But yeah I hope the shows focus more on action than romance. A bit of romance in the show is not bad but turning the show where the characters are "fawning" over him [Martha!] isn't as cool.
I liked how they did Ten and Donna. There was no romance between the two and it worked out.

[Genkai]

I never approved of Clara's flirtations nor did I approve much of Eleven encouraging it but also sort of not really at the same time. :/ Hopefully an older actor will develop some good solid plots and adventures rather than teenage drama and googly eyes. I never saw why people don't like Martha. Donna bored me a bit (and annoyed me) but all her development was thrown out at all the last minute, which kind of made her arc terribly pointless, which bothered me because she could have been that one 'success story' of a companion who didn't fawn over the Doctor and who improved their life. But instead she went back to square one not knowing how cool she once was. I just want the fandom to dramatically make a change to spice things up. I know some fans are sad that the Doctor isn't some hot eye candy but I for one welcome someone has more experience and could summon some serious themes. *nods*

[Black Ninja]

I agree. (But then again, I'm a guy so I don't really care if the Doctor is "eye-candy" or not.)
I think bringing in the older Capaldi will help improve some aspects. I saw a cool post the other day talking about people complaining that Capaldi is to old to play the Doctor. Don't they realize the Doctor himself is over thousand years old now??? (not exact words).

Anyway, yeah it was sad what happened to Donna.
Martha's alright. She had to try to win the Doctor's affections and the audience's approval both of which was difficult after Rose.
In her own right, I think Martha had a good ending - taking off on her own. Moving on from her crush and actually living.

[Genkai]

There were "old" actors who played the Doctor before, and it's only natural for his regenerations to get different appearances in age. The people who are complaining sound more like fangirls than actual fans who enjoy the show for the show and not the actors. (though DW has had some heavy hitters)

Martha had a decent ending but I didn't like her joining UNIT just like I didn't like Rose sort of becoming a military sort of person, I understand their to need to keep learning about space but it just hardened their personalities and made them much less human to me. At least the show could admit it ruined the companions lives since the Doctor had so much guilt in Let's Kill Hitler.

Anywho I must focus on my post...or homework. Not sure which. >____> I made a pie and did laundry so I've already accomplished something. Eheh.

[Black Ninja]

Yeah - I'm sure a lot of it has to do with Fangirls getting starry-eyed on the actor. Tennant is my favorite but honestly each actor did a good enough job that I like their runs as well. They each brought a different piece to the grand scheme of things.

Yes - the whole companions going to kill. Stolen Earth/Journey's End showed that the Doctor kind of ruined them as each companion became a militaristic individual something that the Doctor never would have approved off.

That's fine. I have to take off anyway. I'll be back later. This way you won't get distracted.
But pie...:D
"You need pie."

[Genkai]

I had mah pie. It was okay but I regret being lazy and not making the crust myself.

And the post was going to be up sooner but my mom came home and bitched at me and threw me off. But I am halfway done so it still should be up within a hour or so. >_>' And my homework program glitched and died halfway through so hopefully that can just be fixed tomorrow. Eh.

Mind if I have the mother invite them to an xmas party in my post?

EDIT - ...I just wrote 20 paragraphs and was done and ready to post and I lost it all...I am so fucking mad right now....I just...I can't...and it's 1 AM. -slams head on keyboard- Well time to try again and see how much I can recover by memory and mood. I'm so fucking pissed, I'm just writing out of hate because there's no way in hell I can go to bed knowing I lost all of it and have to just wake up and try again. >_____< It was so good and I was happy and I could have sworn I...just...ugh...fuck me. Well guess I won't write that much this go around, so sorry in advance when it comes up short because I can't even.

EDIT EDIT - I got SOMETHING up, had to do some editing, meh. >____>

[Black Ninja]

Ah Crust making is difficult, so I hear. No reason to make it when you can get a descent one at the store *nods*
Unless you like to make it...in that case. :D

Did you lose all your homework when the program died or is it backed up somewhere? :|
Losing HW is never good. :(

No problem. She does seem like the friendly type to do that. *nods*. And it will work.

I hate that. You type up a lot of stuff and then next thing you know you lost it all. Well, it looks like you got a chunk up now: 22 paragraphs (including the short conversation ones) o_O. I will attempt to start at it sometime today but I'm not sure when I'll get a full response up. You were one a roll.
I'm sorry you had to retype it up though. :(

[Genkai]

I don't think so but now it'll be deducted 25% even though it's not really overdue when it was just going to be done yesterday and not today which is kind of annoying but I'm checking this morning to see if she changed the date so I can do it because I'm pretty sure she's wrong. And since I just checked my email, it seems she is changing the due date so I have a couple of hours to finish what I started at least, so that's good.

I wouldn't have mind making the crust but touching gooey sticks-to-your-hands-forever shortening was not something I wanted to deal with but I know better next time to just do it and it'll be worth it. ^^;

I was so mad I wanted to yell at my stupid laptop (even though I was probably being rushed and careless about copy/pasting a big wad of text) but everyone was sleeping. But don't rush yourself if you have a lot going on. I have class till about seven or eight tonight and I doubt I'll be getting online to do any writing, and then tomorrow I probably have chores to catch up on but I still should be around in the evening. *nods* If you need any help with a post, let me know.

[Black Ninja]

That is good. At least you don't have to worry about turning in a late project. :D
What class is it for?

Yeah shortening likes to stay on one's hands forever. You have to wash them, then wipe them hard on a towel and then maybe, just maybe you'll have it off.

Thanks but I should be alright. I'll look at it, maybe print it out so I can type and go back quickly without changing screens every two seconds.
I should have it done by the end of the day (we'll see). Tomorrow I will be busy so I'm not sure how much time I'll have. So my goal is to get it done today.

[Genkai]

It's math and I'm doing alright in it, which is a relief since I tend to bomb math classes but this one is geared for more liberal majors so there's less calculating and more...easy stuff. XD

Any sort of butter/grease is a pain, the towel usually has to be textured so you actually get it off rather than spread it all around.

Alright, hopefully it's up today then. Once I finish these last few problems, I'll probably make lunch and head off myself. Hopefully your writing doesn't lost like mine did.

[Black Ninja]

Ah Math. Yes. Not many people like it. I hated in in High School but I liked it in college.
But then again, I was a more math-minded. English was the one I disliked. :D

Yes. Then you have to go wash the towel. So much easier to avoid it altogether if you could.

Alright. Have fun. And don't worry. I'll try to make sure I don't lose it.

Update: Yeah... Might not get it up right away... Sorry for that. Today is going to be a bit busy but I'll see if I can get a good chunk of it finished in between my meetings and work.

[Genkai]

It seems most brains are geared toward math or writing but not usually both. I'm surprised you didn't like English based on our RP. XD

Exactly, so much sticky work. But I guess the trouble would have been worth it.

No worries, I have a bunch of chores to do today or do "sorta" do any way. Hopefully your day goes well either way. ^^;

[Black Ninja]

Ehh.. By time your reach the level I'm at your writing has to be decent otherwise your grades are effected and your professional image is impacted.
Also, I like to write stories. It's the grammar, structure, editing, I dislike. Also the interpretation. "Why is the cloud blue?"

It all depends. There are definitely times it is worth it. *nods*

Thanks. I got a few minutes now but not much time to do much.
I've been running around doing meetings, errands, work and school. I have a few seconds break before I must go back and do a bit more school. Then I have to go to another meeting before I can head home.
Yeah... But I should be on tonight...Hopefully. :D

[Genkai]

Ohh sometimes the technical stuff can be a pain. *nods* But I usually like editing and stuff so I guess it never bothered me. But stories and writing for fun are usually great ways to stay sane amid stress and crap (etc) so usually grammar and stuff doesn't matter as much. As long as you enjoy it and don't sound like a drunkard. XD

Next time, I'll probably make the crust by hand since everything else turned out decent. But man, whoever makes pies for a living must be very tired at the end of each day. Or I'm lazy. *shrugs*

Jeez, that sounds like a lot of work. I'm tired just reading that list of stuffs. Doing more school is lame but necessary. I should probably do my homework today or save if before class tomorrow since I have to get to school early for a meeting. *eye roll* I hope your busy day is a nice one despite all the effort. *thumbs up* A post tonight would be great but otherwise, tomorrow works too.

[Black Ninja]

Done. Finished. Got it posted up.
You can have it. Let me know if you need/want anything changed.
For Ten and Summer, I'm thinking a time skip to the next day is in order (unless you think otherwise).

Also, maybe after the party (ahhh. Summer hates parties...) most of the guests leave except the parents, the Doctor and Summer (everyone else has family/friends or other things and leave).
Then you can do your snowball fight (could be part of the party) OR sitting in the living room around the fireplace chatting. Mabel could ask them some questions and they can learn a bit more about her parents.
BTW: I'm thinking the Dad is more introverted (grunt, grunt) kind of guy. That's where Summer gets it from. Her mom is way to much of a social butterfly for her to get it from that side of the family. :D

Probably. But then again, if you make it a lot you get really good at it and probably learn some tricks. And just think how much pie you get to eat. :D
(yeah right.)

ehh... A bit. One of my classes is an independent study focused on learning app development. So that is a lot of fun. Spent some time working on a basic model to get a hang of the software.
I hope the post isn't to late for you. :D
Any changes you want - just let me know and then post accordingly. I'm going to get off in the next few minutes but I can go back and edit it when I get on tomorrow.
Have fun in class tomorrow

[Genkai]

Oh yay! A post. :3 I'm at school right now (eating and chilling out) but I may hop on to get a post up tonight. I'm not too fond of writing on computers that aren't mine. I know that's weird but I do have like 2 hours to kill so who knows what I'll cave in and do. ^^;

And yeah a timeskip is fine with me. After some thought, I doubt it could snow in Dover so a chat around the fire sounds good and relaxing to me.

Oooh, I could be a pro pie baker.

Ohh an independent study class. I did ta few of those. They either go well or not well, depending on topic and self discipline. It sounds like it's really fun for you which is the best outcome. I hope you're learning a lot and getting a lot out of it. My class should be okay, our first midterm is next Tue so this is the last class before that so I foresee some dull review and stuff but it shouldn't be bad. I'm pulling a solid 85% so far based off of homework so I think I'll be okay. I'm more worried about a dentist appointment I have next Wed. since it could be pricy, depending on what they find. >___> Who knew teeth and patchwork were expensive? I'll have the house to myself this weekend though so that means being lazy and probably pantless. XD

I'd totally invite you if it wouldn't be weird. Hopefully your weekend (well it's pretty much the weekend for me in my head) is just as rewarding.

[Black Ninja]

I understand. I don't do to much personal stuff on school computers when I'm at the university. I just use my laptop or nothing at all. But either way, if you put up a post or not in the two hours, that's fine.

Apple pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cream pie, pecan pie.... Mmmmmm.

Yeah I have two this semester. We shall see how well my self discipline goes....But I'm thinking it should be fun nonetheless.
Midterms already? :( Sorry. Best of luck.
Review can be boring. Especially if it is one of those "Study everything" reviews that aren't really helpful.
85% - Nice!!! Good job.
Teeth are extremely expensive. *nods*

Thanks anywho but yeah that would be a bit weird. But my weekend should be good. We'll see. A few things planned for tomorrow (mostly work) and I a few things for Saturday but we'll see. :D
Enjoy your lazy weekend. :D
