Guilt! That's right up my alley!

[nobleplatypus]

First, the news:

-I am 95% sure that Target fucked up, not me. Either way, I'm pissed off.

-Mongolian barbecue was surprisingly delicious and agreeable.

-I got carded upon entering the Mall of America by a security guard who wasn't entirely sure that I was at or over the age of sixteen. If the minimum age was eighteen, I'd be chuffed, but sixteen?! That's overkill. It means he thought I might have been fifteen, which is off by nearly a decade. WTF.

-Pan's Labyrinth is so much better when you aren't sitting in front of the lower left corner of the screen.

-The Doctor should just get a dalek companion. There's gotta be a nice one out there, somewhere. The Littlest Dalek. How cute would that be? Pretty damn cute!

Second, the meme:

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	Any carbonated and caffeinated beverage	I know it's bad for me. I know I shouldn't be drinking it on a daily basis. But it's just so damn convenient.
Literary:	paperbacks I bought when I was twelve	You know, YA novels by Gary Paulson and Paul Zindel and the like. Sometimes I just want to read something easy and fun that doesn't beg to be analyzed.
Audiovisual:	X-Files reruns	Oh, who am I kidding? I don't even feel remotely guilty about this one. X-FILES RULES!
Musical:	the "Josie and the Pussycats" movie soundtrack	You can sneer all you want; "Backdoor Lover" will STILL be the greatest boy-band song ever.
Celebrity:	William Mapother	SHUT UP HE'S ADORABLE.

I was mistaken for being 14 when in reality I was 18 and I thought that was bad. Wow, getting carded for a 16 place. Well done! Hee hee

Dalek companion FTW!! You should write to the BBC, would be better than some of the things I've heard. ¬_¬

Hehehe, thank you. And I didn't even have my hair up! But the security guard was pretty old; maybe his vision was going.

Seriously, it would be so perfect! Once upon a time, the daleks forked up and created a prototype that was all friendly and cheerful and perhaps also pink. Horrified by this--but a little too full of dalek pride to off one of their own--they packed up the Littlest Dalek and jettisoned it in the furthest reaches of deepest space. It floated for years, alone, until some curious passerby freed it from its space crate. Horrified to find a dalek, the curious passerby dumped it right back into space. The Littlest Dalek traveled about, trying to make friends and only getting rejection after violent rejection. Finally, in despair, it sequestered itself on some empty little planet and resigned itself to a life of solitude and grief.

Then the Doctor shows up... perhaps he felt like visiting the planet because it's lonely and empty, just like him. He finds the dalek and is about to get all vengeful on its bumpy metal skirt when it says something really sulky and sad, like, "AND YOU, DOC-TORRR, YOU WILL TRY TO DE-STROY ME? LIKE EVE-RY-ONE EEEEELSE? WHEN ALL I EV-ER WAN-TED WAS TO BE... LOOOOOOVED?!"

Then the Doctor can realize that he's found the only nice dalek in existence, and that it would be a pretty handy thing to have around, and that it might be nice to have a companion that is hard to kill and presumably has a lengthy lifespan. And he can take it into the TARDIS and fiddle with its voice box thing so it doesn't sound so damn annoying. And he could get rid of that Valley Girl inflection, too, so it stops ending every sentence like a question.

So Target fucked up about what??

And good idea about the Dalek companion. He and the Doctor could wear matching scarves!!

My schedule. As usual.

Hehehe, I'm envisioning a happy shopping montage in which the Doctor and the Littlest Dalek try on hats. XD
