I was tagged by the eternally gorgeous @eefjesmiles. Thank you so much! :D

Name: Denise

Nickname: BMG

Zodiac: Virgo

Height: About 1.62m

Orientation: boringly heterosexual and trying to convince myself I’m aromantic rather than living in denial that those days are over

Favourite fruit: I’ve gone mad on raspberries lately. Dunno why

Favourite season: sometimes it is spring, other times it is autumn

Favourite book series: Harry Potter, or possibly the Narnia ones

Favourite flower: anything white (probably because these tend to be rare whereas pink flowers are everywhere!) but I was obsessed with trying to find a peony for quite a while

Favourite colour: blue (it used to be yellow until it gained me a wasp attack)

Favourite animals: dogs, birds (robins, sparrows and blackbirds in particular), hedgehogs; all the ordinary animals that tend to get overlooked for the more glamorous ones found in a zoo

Coffee/tea/cocoa: tea, or failing that, hot chocolate

Average sleep hours: about 7 but I need 8

Dog/cat person: I have had far more contact with dogs, but I like most animals

Favourite fictional characters: *pulls out a very long list* in no particular order, I love Donna Noble, the Tenth Doctor, the Doctor in general, Harry Potter, Peter Vincent, Maurice Moss, Anne Elliott, Mr Darcy, DCI Gene Hunt, Wallace & Gromit, Elinor Dashwood, Campbell Bain, Obi Wan Kenobi, Muriel Heslop, Scott Hastings, Heather Trott, everyone in Extras, Hiro Nakamura, Captain Jack Harkness, Joanie Taylor, DI Alec Hardy, DS Ellie Miller, Marjorie Dawes, Carol Beer, the WWII RAF pilots in The Armstrong and Miller Show, Blackadder.... and I’d better stop there

What I define as amazing followers: aren’t they all amazing in their own way (except perhaps the pornbots although I can at least admire the software algorithms)? We all face, achieve and survive loads of things without hardly anyone being aware of it

I was tagged by the adorably fabulous @lostlastsforever756 to do this. Thank you!

1. What kind of tattoo would you get? (if you have one, what is it?) To be honest, I have never fancied having a tattoo – expose my body to someone? No thank you – or actually seen a design I wouldn’t mind. Until recently, when I saw something and thought it wasn’t too bad. Shame I can’t remember what it was for the life of me. Ho hum.

2. Favourite hair colour you’ve ever had? A couple of years ago I had some ginger highlights put into my hair and I really loved the result which is ironic because I was fairly ginger as a child and absolutely hated the fact that I was.

3. What was your summer 2016 song? “You Don’t Know Love” by Ollie Murs.

4. Favourite artist today? Do you mean musical artist or painting type artist? If it’s the former, then it is a toss-up between Adele and James Blunt. If it is the latter, then David Shepherd for a living artist, and William Turner for a dead one.

5. What book did you read half way and then go “Nope, I’m done with this”? This has happened several times, I’m afraid. The first time was for The Red Badge Of Courage; a school set book. Boring! I tried to force myself to speed-read it and failed. Fortunately everybody else felt the same way so it was replaced with a book filled with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Bliss! More recently, I was sorely tempted to chuck the second book of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy (Fifty Shades Darker) clean across the room because I was so annoyed at the feeble ‘heroine’, Anastasia Rose Steel. There were times I wished she had read and remembered at least one other book than Tess of the D’Urbervilles during her English degree; but it was not to be as she whinged endlessly about spending tons of money he could easily afford or actually eating once in a while. When a possible assassin turned up I was willing them to succeed and put us out of our misery. Shame they didn’t. I had to remind myself that I’d been challenged to read the whole lot and that I’d already bought the third book, so I continued whilst griping to anyone that would listen. We did have fun playing ‘spot the Audi’ though… And last week I abandoned a book when a romantic novel suddenly veered into public humiliation, bondage and orgy territory. Not my cup of tea. Nope nope nope.

6. Favourite pyjamas? I have two favourite pairs of pyjamas: the fuzzy M&S pyjamas my sister bought me with Tatty Teddy on them; and my Shaun the Sheep pyjamas that have a top with a hood.

7. Who is your most favourite woman EVER? (you know, cuz it’s women’s history month, I’m curious) Ooooh, this is tricky, picking only one. Erm. I am going to choose Queen Boadicea (or Boudicca, depending on what spelling you prefer) of the Iceni, who duffed up the invading Romans here and had a whole section of the Colchester Castle Museum dedicated to her. On  a much more personal level, Catherine Tate has brought more joy into my life (both directly and indirectly) then she could ever be aware of. Through her, I have met and talked to some absolutely fabulous people.

8. What does your shampoo smell like? I have to use a specialist shampoo because I have to try and waylay the effects of psoriasis, so it smells like coal tar. Now I quite like the smell but other people don’t so I use a coconut scented conditioner at the same time.

9. Life goals? I have general life goals like facing each day as it comes and enjoying every second without future regrets that I could have done it or behaved better. Studying some more would be wonderful (I had planned to ultimately do a combined maths & computing degree, and do some follow up courses to my psychology degree in Autism), as would doing some artwork. You know, wield a paintbrush about again. And I have all my crafting gear to bring home and set up when I eventually get the chance. As for the biggest life goal I have ever had – the desire to be a ‘normal’ size – I think it is time to release that one into the wild; let it go and be free to stop pestering me. It just ain’t going to happen. Fortunately I’m of an age now that it doesn’t matter. It isn’t expected of me to be stick thin but be instead a cuddly grandmother figure; something miles more easy to aspire to.  

10. Have you ever considered starting a YouTube channel? What would it be? No, I never have. I have no idea what I could vlog about.

11. What are you currently listening to right now? My biggest problem is that I thought my new car would have a CD player. It doesn’t. It won’t even let me listen to music saved on an SD card; so I’m back to listening to whatever is on the radio rather than something I had personally chosen, when the car is my main place to listen to music. I mainly listen to either Radio X (Johnny Vaughan is my favourite DJ) or BBC Radio 2 (where Steve Wright is my favourite).

6. Which outfit is your favourite one to wear?

7. Is there any particular genre in fanfiction that turns you off or squicks you out?

8. What foods from your childhood do you miss the most?

9. Who makes you laugh?

10. How would you describe your hairstyle?

11. Are you any good with a camera? Why do you think that is?

Aww thank you @eefjesmiles for tagging me <3

1. What is your zodiac sign and do you connect with it?

I’m a capricorn. I don’t really think I connect with it that much. I don’t really care that much about my zodiac :/

2. Do you have any tattoos and if not, what would you want to have?

I don’t have any tattoos, but I really want one on my back and maybe on my arms. I’m planning on designing them myself ;)

3. Last film you saw in the cinema? 

I saw Logan with my boyfriend last week. I really loved it!

4. Any strange phobias? 

Not really, I’m very boring :$

5. Do you prefer to be in front of the camera or behind it? 

Behind it please! I am anxious and shy I don’t like spotlights.

6. Aliens or ghosts? 

Aliens

7. Song you always come back to? 

Hooked on a feeling - Blue Swede (or any song from the 60s-90s to be honest).

8. Favorite flavour? 

Such an interesting question! I love chocolate in combination with coffee or nuts, because I often find chocolate on it’s own a little too sweet. 

9. Series or film you watch whenever you’re sad to feel better? 

Guardians Of The Galaxy! A great movie and also really funny :)

doctah-ironholmesgrl08 replied to your post “I was tagged by the eternally gorgeous @eefjesmiles. Thank you so...”

awe i appreciate you tagging my dt blog(tennydr10confidential). but it's hard for me to do these posts via phone bc my laptop is broke at the moment. Anyway thanks for thinking about me.

You are very welcome. I would have tagged your other blog but I stupidly couldn’t remember that it began with “doctah”. D’uh! At least I remembered the rest of it, I suppose. 

Anyway, no problem and I hope your laptop gets fixed or replaced very soon. 

[nicetomiekyou]

It has a nice ring to it

Tell Us About Your Doctor Who Fandom

I was tagged for this by the lovely @eefjesmiles  – hopefully you won’t regret that decision. ;) Thank you!

1.       Favourite male character Apart from the Doctor it would be Rory Williams

2.       Favourite female character Donna Noble, without a shadow of a doubt

3.       Least favourite character The possible list for this is endless, but as far as the reboot is concerned, this is a toss-up between Rose Tyler and Amy Pond, I’m afraid. S4 killed anything I ever felt for Rose well and truly dead. Whereas I tried hard to like Amy, really wanted to love her from the very beginning, but all she did was annoy me for several reasons (bad acting being the biggest one)

4.       Prettiest character Clara Oswald, or Abigail Pettigrew from “A Christmas Carol”

5.       Funniest character Donna Noble. Her jokes were far superior to the Doctor’s feeble puns

6.       Favourite season S4 because Tatennant became the absolute joy it is in my life

7.       Favourite episode “The Unicorn and the Wasp” or “The Runaway Bride”. You might be able to guess why

8.       Favourite funniest moment The ‘guess the missing word’ sequence in “The Unicorn and the Wasp”

9.       Favourite romantic ship Out of the canon romantic relationships, I loved Foon and Morvin Van Hoff’s relationship from “Voyage of the Damned” because it didn’t seem to be part of someone’s fetish but something more realistic and genuine

10.   Favourite family ship Rory and his dad Brian Williams. The video of the sketched scene where Brian gets the letter from them in the past made me weep

11.   Favourite friend ship Ten/Donna, and I would have taken this as my favourite romantic relationship too given the chance

12.   Worst ship

Doctor/Rose, especially Ten/Rose, for breaking so many past rules of the programme at the expense of other characters, in what seemed to be done in order to seek monetary gain

13.   Worst episode So many to choose from… especially in classic!Who. As tempted as I am by such episodes like “Daleks of Manhattan” or “A Good Man Goes to War”, I’m going to choose “The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe”

14.   Which character would you like to be stranded with on a desert island If I’m only allowed one character rather than the Ten/Donna combo, then I’ll opt for the DoctorDonna

15.   Which character would you not like to share a cab with Shouldn’t the question be more: who wouldn’t want to share a cab with me after the answers I’ve given? I bet one of them paper bags blokes from the Order of the Headless Monks is a barrel of laughs to travel with; and I’d probably end up paying...
