Power in Words

So, I just finished another Doctor Who episode, right after waking up, at 2:00.

Before you freak out about me sleeping so late I have a few points to justify this.
1) I don't sleep during the week. You know, gotta make sure all my work gets done.
2) I woke up at 12:30 yesterday (after trying to get rest after the week), went to logic review (SEE! I study for tests and stuff!) from 1:00 to 5:30 ish, and even helped lead it a lot. Then, from there I went to the ACM LAN party, which lasted from 6pm to 7am. So, fun stuffs that.

I'm going to write more, I promise. Now, however, I need to watch some old Doctor Who clips, and then go eat dinner. =D

Be back later guys!

Ok, so since I started this blog, I have also watched last weeks Glee. I'm behind, but whatever. Haha.

So, I want to talk about said LAN party, and touch up what I had to say about Doctor Who in the last post a bit. I want to clarify some of what I said in the last post because I think it can be taken kind of the wrong way.

The LAN party was awesome. I have been hearing about the LAN parties since last semester, and I never really figured they would be that much fun. I mean yes, I am a nerd and all but my lack of knowing the people who would be there had me a bit unsure of the true fun that awaited.

We arrived, and it was still slowly getting started, so I found a spot in the Marvel Vs Capcom 3 line-up. My team consisted of Trish (From Devil May Cry), Phoenix, and Storm. This team didn't do so hot for me at first, and so I kept getting beaten by the two experienced players. I didn't switch, however, because if you know anything about me you know that I will make things work. I'll take characters like Phoenix, who can be killed
in one combo, and use them to destroy my opponent.

It took me a while, with me learning how to use my attacks, and then figuring out to go Dark Phoenix on my opponent, but by the time we finally quit playing that game for the night I had gotten to where I'd only lose every once in a while, but win the majority of the time. =D

After I figured out the whole Dark Phoenix thing, one of the other guys adopted her as his third. Later still, they adopted Storm as one of their characters, trying to build themselves a team that was awesome. I was the only one who kept a constant team (until I won too many times in a row), and got really good with said characters.

After we retired MVC3, I got roped into playing Halo. It was a form of Halo, and was called Monster Trucks. It was interesting, and more enjoyable than actual Halo. We also played this version that was Zombie Racing? It was a lot of fun, one zombie had to snipe blow up the humans. The humans each get a vehicle, and have to race to the end, which just getting there is hard, and then they have to snipe the zombie. Yea, it's fun. =D

Then, everyone left to go to Ken's doughnuts, and we got left because we were helping clean. Yay us, haha.

So, that leaves me with Doctor Who.

Doctor Who isn't perfect, and he certainly has rough times, but what makes him so awesome is the fact that he doesn't stop. He never stays down, and he always finds some reason to keep going. As I write this and I mean write (with pencil) I can't help but hear quotes I want to talk about.

At the end of season 1, and I'll give as little detail as possible so as not to ruin it for anyone, The Doctor is faced with a question, "Then prove yourself, Doctor. What are you? Coward or killer?" In the moment of truth he gives the answer I'd grown to expect of him, and which has defined him for me. He answers, "Coward. Any day."

Out of context, that doesn't make much sense, I understand, but it's so very important to my attraction to the series. It's not about always winning, and happy good times, but about life. You don't get to choose everything, but you can choose yourself.

I'll throw this last quote in, and if you watch Doctor Who it makes more sense, otherwise you need to watch to find it.

"There's another thing the TARDIS could do. It could take us away. We could leave, let history take it's course. We go to Marbella in 1989."
"Yeah, but you'd never do that."
"No, but you could ask. Never even occured to you did it?"


=D
And I'm off for the night. (I was going to mention Glee... I loved it. I liked this last episode more than any other. Sorry it's getting shafted. =P)
