You Know Your A Whovian When..........

2012-02-06T11:58:00.001-06:00

You watch all six seasons in one year
You have three Dr. Who posters in your room as well as a calender
You and your siblings own the soundtracks for seasons 1 through 5
You get excited about Dr Who episodes with friends
You can say Apalapucia and Raxacoricofallapatorius
You get a present that is wrapped in blue paper, and has the TARDIS on the top of the box
You get a Fez for your birthday from friends who are fellow Whovians
You have a pin that says "I <3 <3 DW"
You have a Dr Who mug that has "Police, Telephone, Free for use of Public. Advice and Assistance Obtainable Immediately. Officer and Cars Respond to all calls. Pull to Open." On it.
Your mug has Time And Relative Dimensions In Space on the inside
You have a favorite episode from each season
You listen to the cds a lot
You have a book about the Sixth season
You have a Dr. Who t-shirt

The Beauty of Friendship ~ Helen Steiner Rice

2012-02-03T06:14:00.000-06:00

Friendship is a priceless gift,

It cannot be bought or sold;

But its value is far greater,

Than a mountain made of gold.

For Gold is cold and lifeless,

It can neither see nor hear;

And in the time of trouble,

It is powerless to cheer.

It has no ears to listen,

Nor heart to understand.

It cannot bring you comfort,

Or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask God for a gift,

Be thankful if He sends...

Not diamonds, pearls or riches,

But the Love of Real True Friends.

“All I insist on, and nothing else, is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid. Be silent, if you choose; but when it is necessary, speak — and speak in such a way that people will remember it.”

2012-01-26T19:21:00.000-06:00

my dearly loved 2008 red M763 Kodak digital camera was stepped on Saturday night and was broken so I can't use it anymore. But hopefully if I can save up enough money I plan on hopefully getting a nicer camera. So I won't really be posting any pictures for a while, though I do not know how long that while will be. When I get a new camera I'll let you all know.

This is something that my dear friend Elenatintil posted over on her blog and I had to share because it's true.

The one single thing I seriously hate about the internet is the loss of a common standard of etiquette, politeness and common decency. I'm not referring to any one incident, but several years of people using the facelessness of the internet to say and do things that they would never do offline, face to face. I'm tired of being hurt, I'm tired of seeing other people hurt, I'm tired of reading news articles followed by comments filled with stuff that normal people do not say in every day life. I'm tired of lies, swearing and lack of kindness. I'm tired of anger.

This contrast is probably even greater to me right now because I'm reading so much historical fiction. Maybe we don't need quite the level of manners required in Jane Austen's day, but I sure wish we practiced more of it online than we do currently.

Emmanuel, Rex, Oriens, Clavis, Radix, Adonai,Sapientia - “Tomorrow, I will come.”

O Emmanuel

2011-12-23T06:54:00.001-06:00

“O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God.” Isaiah had prophesied, “The Lord himself will give you this sign: the Virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.”

2011-12-22T15:08:00.000-06:00

This is probably the cutest thing that I have gotten yet from my virtue friend :)

O Rex Gentium - O King of Nations

2011-12-22T06:53:00.003-06:00

“O King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart; O Keystone of the mighty arch of man, come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.” Isaiah had prophesied, “For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.” (9:5), and “He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again.” (2:4).

O Oriens - O Radiant Dawn

2011-12-21T09:33:00.000-06:00

“O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.” Isaiah had prophesied, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown.” (9:1).

O Clavis David - O Key of David

2011-12-20T08:08:00.002-06:00

O Clavis David: “O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven: Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead your captive people into freedom.” Isaiah had prophesied, AI will place the Key of the House of David on His shoulder; when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open.” (22:22), and “His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David’s throne, and over His kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever.” (9:6).

O Radix Jesse - O Flower of Jesse's Stem

2011-12-19T10:32:00.000-06:00

O Radix Jesse: “O Flower of Jesse’s stem, you have been raised up as a sign for all peoples; kings stand silent in your presence; the nations bow down in worship before you. Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid.” Isaiah had prophesied, “But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom.” (11:1), and A On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious.” (11:10). Remember also that Jesse was the father of King David, and Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be of the house and lineage of David and be born in David’s city, Bethlehem (Micah 5:1).

Fourth Week of Advent

2011-12-18T06:00:00.001-06:00

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;

And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O Adonai - O Lord

2011-12-18T05:02:00.000-06:00

O Adonai: “O sacred Lord of ancient Israel, who showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush, who gave him the holy law on Sinai mountain: come, stretch out your mighty hand to set us free.” Isaiah had prophesied, “But He shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the land’s afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.” (11:4-5); and “Indeed the Lord will be there with us, majestic; yes the Lord our judge, the Lord our lawgiver, the Lord our king, he it is who will save us.” (33:22).

O Sapientia - O Wisdom

2011-12-17T09:00:00.000-06:00

O Sapientia: “O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation.” Isaiah had prophesied, “The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord, and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord.” (11:2-3), and “Wonderful is His counsel and great is His wisdom.” (28:29).

2011-12-14T09:36:00.001-06:00

Name change again

2011-12-12T21:36:00.000-06:00

I know I changed the name of my blog not to long ago but and even though I liked that name I thought that "The Messy Desk of Me" fit better. Especially since my desk can get pretty messy. So my apologize and though I haven't decided actually yet my blog url might be changing to fit better with my blog name.

A Christmas Season Craft

2011-12-01T22:00:00.001-06:00

Supplies:

9x10 piece of wood

Sandpaper

A design to use

Pen

Pencil

Decorations

To start this project off you will have to sand the edged of the piece of wood you are using and once that is finished you will need what ever design you decide to use. Then once you have the design you want and have printed it out you place the paper on top of the piece of wood and taking the pen you push down hard along the outline of the design. If the wood isn't soft feel free to use what works best for you to transfer the design.Once you are finished tracing the design onto the wood toy are ready to decorate.

And as you can see mine isn't decorated yet. But when it is decorated I will make sure to post a picture of it :)

It Can Be Hard Keeping a Straight Face As A Court Reporter

2011-11-29T09:47:00.000-06:00

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Oh, come, Oh, come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - Walter Rauschenbusch

2011-11-24T07:12:00.000-06:00

O God, we thank you for this earth, our home;

For the wide sky and the blessed sun,
For the salt sea and the running water,
For the everlasting hills
And the never-resting winds,
For trees and the common grass underfoot.
We thank you for our senses
By which we hear the songs of birds,
And see the splendor of the summer fields,
And taste of the autumn fruits,
And rejoice in the feel of the snow,
And smell the breath of the spring.
Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty;
And save our souls from being so blind
That we pass unseeing
When even the common thornbush
Is aflame with your glory,
O God our creator,
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Prayer to the Holy Souls in Purgatory

2011-11-22T06:44:00.007-06:00

O Holy Souls, tormented in most cruel pains, as one truly devoted to you, I promise never to forget you, and continually to pray to the Most High for your release. I beseech you to respond o this offering which I make to you, and obtain for me from God, with Whom you are so powerful on behalf of the living, that I may be freed from all dangers of soul and body; I beg both for myself and for my relatives and all benefactors, friends and enemies, pardon for our sins, and the grace of perseverance in good, whereby we may save our souls. Set us free from all misfortunes, miseries, sickness, trials and labors. Obtain for us peace of heart; assist us in all our actions; succor us promptly in all out spiritual and temporal needs; console and defend us in our dangers. Pray for the Supreme Pontiff, for the exaltation of Holy Church, for peace among all nations, for every Christian ruler, and for tranquility among peoples; and obtain that we may one day all rejoice in Paradise. Amen

A Pearl Among Princes by Coleen Murtagh Paratore - Book Review

2011-11-20T05:36:00.033-06:00

Welcome to the island of Miramore,

Where Princes learn to be charming,

Where the cook's daughter dreams of a destiny beyond the seas,

And where - this summer - her fate will be decided.

(taken from the back cover)

Gracepearl Coal is dreaming of traveling across the sea and off of the island of Miramore, which she has called home all her life. While every year the Order has sent all of their princes to the island for training she has been working in the kitchen. This summer is going to be different from the other summers when the princes in training came to the island for their summer training.

Though written like a fairy tale A Pearl Among Princes as a modern day feel to it. Coleen Murtagh Paratore does a wonderful job with giving you a fairy tale story while at the same time gives you a feeling of slightly modern day words and rhymes and wind chimes.It is a wonderfully written story for any age.

Snippets of my story!

2011-11-18T11:08:00.000-06:00

Ok, because someone asked me very nicely in a comment about me posting my story on here I will post some snippets of it now.

When she had left Imelda’s father turned away from the door and saw Imelda sitting in the stairs. Going up the stairs he sat down next to her and asked Imelda what she had heard them talking about. Imelda told him that she hadn’t heard much of what they had been talking about. Putting an arm around her Imelda’s father told her that he would tell her what they had been talking about in the morning since she needed to get some sleep.

With a quick hug Janey was out the door and down the hall. After Janey left the room Imelda went to her father’s room to see that he was all right. She found him sitting by the lamp reading a newspaper he and picked up on the train. Imelda sat down next to his chair and placed her head against his knee. Looking up and him Imelda asked if she was going to have to stay while he went and worked. He replied that she would have to stay there, but he would try and send her money when he could. Imelda said that she wouldn’t mind that he would be there as long as she knew that he would be safe.

This paragraph is probably my favorite:

When he reached the spot where he had hidden the money and food Edmund dismounted and uncovered it and when he had taken the sack that held the money and foods out he covered the hole again. Placing the small sack on the back of his saddle Edmund tied it securely behind him then set off again. While he rode Edmund guessed that his father wouldn't reply to his telegram and if he did what sort of a reply his father would send. Since he had made a bit of a name for himself Edmund figured that his name would most likely be in the papers now and then and that his family and friends would have read that he was an outlaw.

Consecration to the Virgin Mary and a Prayer to St. Joseph

2011-11-12T11:56:00.000-06:00

Consecration to the Virgin Mary

O, my Queen and my Mother! I offer myself entirely to thee; and, in proof of my filial affection, I consecrate this day to thee my eyes, my ears, my lips, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Since I am wholly thine, o bountiful Mother, keep me and defend me as they property and possession. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph

O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, whose power can render possible even things which are impossible, come to my aid, in my present trouble and distress. Take under thy protection the important and difficult affairs which I entrust to thee that they may end happily.

Pause – Petition

My beloved Father, all my confidence is in thee. Let it not be said that I invoked the in vain; and since thou art able to obtain everything before Jesus and Mary, show me that thy goodness equals thy power. Amen.

12 Steps to Avoid Purgatory - excerpts from "How to Avoid Purgatory" by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan

2011-11-07T04:12:00.001-06:00

Since it is the month of the holy souls in Purgatory I thought it would be appropriate to post this.

1. In every prayer you say, every Mass you hear, every Communion you receive, every good work you perform have the express intention of imploring God to grant you a holy and happy death and no Purgatory. Surely God will hear a prayer said with such confidence and perseverance.

2. Always wish to do God's will. It is in every sense the best for you. When you do or seek anything that is not God's will, you are sure to suffer. Say, therefore, fervently each time you recite the Our Father: Thy will be done.

3. Accept all the sufferings, sorrows, pains and disappointments of life, be they great or small, ill health, loss of goods, the death of your dear ones, heat or cold, rain or sunshine as coming from God. Bear them calmly and patiently for love of Him and in penance for your sins. Of course, one may use all his efforts to ward off trouble and pain, but when one cannot avoid it let him bear it patiently. Impatience and revolt make sufferings vastly greater and more difficult to bear.

4. The greatest act in Christ's life was His Passion. As He had a Passion so each one of us has a Passion. Our Passion consists in the sufferings and labors of every day. Therefore, let us do our work, accept its disappointments and hardships and bear our pains in union with the Passion of Christ. We gain more merit by a little pain than by years of pleasure.

5. Forgive all injuries and offences for in proportion, as we forgive others, God forgives us. Go to confession. This sacrament does more than "just" rid us of our sins; it gives us a tremendous increase in sanctifying grace. It wins for us a higher place in Heaven, with increased union with God. Each time we go to confession, we are preserved from many dangers and misfortunes which might otherwise have befallen us. A devout confession helps us to hear the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, and to hear and follow the advice of our guardian angels.

6. Avoid mortal sins, deliberate venial sins and break off bad habits. Then it will be relatively easy to satisfy God's justice for sins of frailty. Above all avoid sins against charity and chastity in thought, word and deed for these sins are the reason why many souls are detained in Purgatory for a long time.

7. If afraid of doing too much work, do many little things, acts of kindness and charity, give the alms you can, don't grumble or complain when things are not as you please, don't complain of others, never refuse to do a favor for others when possible. These and such acts are a splendid penance.

8. Do all in your power for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Pray for them constantly, get others to do so, join the Friends of the Poor Souls and ask all those you know to do likewise. The Holy Souls will repay you most generously.

9. There is no more powerful way of obtaining from God a most holy and happy death than by weekly confession, daily Mass and daily communion. Masses may be arranged after or before someone's death to expedite their time in Purgatory.

10. A daily visit to the Blessed Sacrament ( if only for three or four minutes ) is an easy way of obtaining the same grace. Kneel in the presence of Jesus with eyes fixed on the Tabernacle or Monstrance, sure that He is looking at you, then repeat little prayers like these: My Jesus, Mercy. My Jesus, have pity on me a sinner. My Jesus, I love you. My Jesus, give me a happy death.

11. Wear the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. "Whosoever dies clothed in this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." This is the Blessed Virgin Mary's Promise, made July 16, 1251 to St. Simon Stock. The Sabbatine Privilege is Mary's promise to release from Purgatory soon after death, all those who: 1) wear the brown scapular 2) observe chastity according to their state in life and 3) say the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary every day. To be eligible for this scapular promise, one must be enrolled.

12. Use holy water to remit venial sin. Because of the blessing attached to it, Holy Mother Church strongly encourages its use upon her children, especially when danger threatens, such as fire, storms, sickness and other calamities. Every Catholic home should have a supply of holy water. Sprinkle some holy water on the ground, then make the Sign of the Cross and pray: "By this holy water and by Thy Precious Blood, wash away all my sins and the sins of the Poor Souls in Purgatory, O Lord".

An Amazing Song!!!!!!!!

2011-11-05T20:32:00.000-05:00

The other day when I was chatting with my friend Therese she gave me the link to this song and I fell in love with it!!!!!!!!!!!

And it is the Our Father in Swahili!!!!!!!!!!!! so here is the the prayer in Swahili and English!

Baba yetu uliye mbinguni

Jina lako litukuzwe;

Ufalme wako ufike,

Utakalo lifanyike,

duniani kama mbinguni.

Utupe leo mkate wetu wa kila siku,

Utusamehe makosa yetu,

kama sisi kuwasamehe wale wanaotukosea;

na wala usitutie katika majaribu,

lakini utuokoe na uovu. Amina.

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

NaNoWriMo!!!

2011-10-22T20:11:00.001-05:00

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month!! And it starts on November first which is a few days away!!!! So if you have never done it before I suggest looking into it!!! This will be my first year doing it!!!! Here is a bit from the NaNo 'about' page explaining what NaNoWriMo is about!!!

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Here is the link to the NaNoWriMo site and her is another link for the NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program!!!

Lauren Cooper (Catherine Tate)

Mr. Logan (David Tennant)

(Lauren and Lise are sitting in a classroom)

Lise-I can’t believe we’ve got double English.

Lauren- English is well dry

Lise- I don’t see what so great about reading anyways

Lauren- No, readings for loooosers.

Lise- Innit though. A’least we got a new teacher today

Lauren- yeah, right, that’ll be a laugh won’it

(Enter Mr. Logan/David Tennant)

Mr. Logan- Morning.

All- Allllright

Mr. Logan- As I’m sure you’re aware my name is Mr. Logan, I’m your new English teacher. Nice to meet you all. Hope you’re all ready to get to grips with some Elizabethan literature. Let all turn to page fifty three, in our poetry text books. I think we’ll dive straight in with the bard himself.

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- Yeah

Lauren- Are you English, sir?

Mr. Logan- No, I’m Scottish.

Lauren- So you ain’t English then.

Mr. Logan- No, I’m British.

Lauren- So you ain’t English then.

Mr. Logan- No I’m not but as you can see I do speak English.

Lauren- But I can’t understand what your saying, sir.

Mr. Logan- Well clearly you can.

Lauren- Sorry, are you talking Scottish now?

Mr. Logan- No, I’m talking English.

Lauren- Right. Don’t sound like it.

Mr. Logan- Okay, whatever you want. Now, let’s get on with Shakespeare.

Lauren- I don’t think you’re qualified to teach us English.

Mr. Logan- I am perfectly qualified to teach you English.

Lauren- I don’t fink you are though.

Mr. Logan- You don’t have to be English to teach it.

Lauren- Right, have we got double English, or double Scottish?

Mr. Logan- Is your name Lauren Cooper by any chance?

Lauren- Yeah. Why?

Mr. Logan- Your reputation precedes you.

Lauren- Innit though.

Mr. Logan- So, Shakespeare’s sonnets--

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- A sonnet is a poem--

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- --written in fourteen--

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- --lines--

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- -- the last two of which--

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- --must form a rhyming couplet--

Lauren- Sir?

Mr. Logan- Yes Lauren!

Lauren- Can I aks you a question?

Mr. Logan- Not just now.

Lauren- Can I aks you a question now?

Mr. Logan- Just wait.

Lauren- But can I just aks you a question? I only want to aks you a question. Can’t I aks you a question? I’m just aksing you a question. Can’t I aks you a question?

Mr. Logan- What is it?

Lauren- Are you the Doctor?

Mr. Logan- Doctor Who?

Lise & Lauren- It is you!

(All laugh)

Mr. Logan I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Lauren- You look like Doctor Who though!

Mr. Logan I’m not Doctor Who, I’m your English teacher.

Lauren- I don’t think you are though.

Mr. Logan- Lauren.

Lauren- I think you’re a nine hundred and forty five year old Time Lord.

Mr. Logan- Listen.

Lauren- Did you just pitch up from Mars?

Mr. Logan- Don’t be ridiculous.

Lauren- You know your house, right.

Mr. Logan- What?

Lauren- You know your house?

Mr. Logan- Yeah.

Lauren- Is it bigger on the inside?

Mr. Logan- Be quiet.

Lauren- Have you parked the TARDIS on a meter?

Mr. Logan- Can we please get back to Shakespeare!

Lauren- *fhuh* (sits back into chair)

Mr. Logan- Thank you. So--

Lauren- Do you fancy Billie Piper sir?

Mr. Logan- Right. (stands up) You are the most insolent child I have ever had the misfortune to teach!

Lauren- Thank you.

Mr. Logan- You’re pointless, repetitious and extremely dull.

Lauren- A bit like Shakespeare.

Mr. Logan- You’re not even worthy to mention his name, William Shakes -- William Shakespeare was a genius, you, little madam are definitely not. Now just sit there and keep your mouth shut or I will fail you in this whole module right now!

Lauren- *fhuh* Ammist I bovvered? Ammist I bovvered forsooth?

Mr. Logan- Lauren.

Lauren- Looketh at my face.

Mr. Logan- I don’t--

Lauren- Looketh at my face.

Mr. Logan- Stop it.

Lauren- Is this a bovvered face thou see before thee?

Mr. Logan- Right, I’m calling your parents.

Lauren- Are you disrespecting the house of Cooper?! Are thou calling my mother a pox ridden wench?

Mr. Logan- Enough.

Lauren- Are thou calling my father a goodly rotten apple?

Mr. Logan- Lauren.

Lauren- But he ain’t even a goodly rotten apple.

Mr. Logan- Listen to me.

Lauren- But he ain’t even a goodly rotten apple, though.

Mr. Logan- That’s enough.

Lauren- Face, is –

Mr. Logan- Lauren.

Lauren- --bovvered--

Mr. Logan- Lauren, enough.

Lauren- --Look at it--

Mr. Logan- Enough

Lauren- --Look at it--

Mr. Logan- --Stop, that’s it--

Lauren- But my liege--

Mr. Logan- -- No, stop--

Lauren- --My liege --

Mr. Logan- --Shh, enough--

Lauren- --My liege --

Mr. Logan- -- No--

Lauren- --My liege --

Mr. Logan- --Enough--

Lauren- --Bovverd, face, this, bovvered--

Mr. Logan- --Lauren--

Lauren- *Scottish accent* You take the high road and I’ll take the low. *normal voice* I ain’t even bovvered. I ain’t bovvered. Look, face, bovvered, bovvered, face, bovvered, I ain’t even bovvered. My liege, I be not bovvered forsooth, I be not bovvered. Face, bovvered, I ain’t even bovvered, face, bovvered, Shakespeare, sonnets, I ain’t even bovvered.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun,
Coral is far more red than her lips' red.
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfurmes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound.
I grant I never saw a goddess go:
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

(Bangs desk) Bite me, alien boy!

Mr. Logan- (pulls out sonic screwdriver and uses it on Lauren, who turns into Rose Tyler action figure) That’s better. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Lauren/Rose Tyler action figure- I still ain’t bovvered.

Dr. Who Week Day 7!!!!!!!!!

2011-10-15T05:47:00.015-05:00

Sycorax Leader: Blood control is just one form of conquest. I can summon the armada and take this world by force.

The Doctor: Well, yeah, you could, yeah. You could do that, of course you could. But why? Look at these people, these human beings. Consider their potential. From the day they arrive on the planet, blinking step into the sun. There is more to be seen than can ever be seen. More to do than... No, hold on. Sorry, that's the Lion King. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!
Sycorax Leader: Or what?
The Doctor: Or... I challenge you! Oo, that struck a chord. Am I right that the sanctified rules of combat still apply?
Sycorax Leader: You stand as this world's champion!
The Doctor: Thank you. I've no idea who I am but you've just summed me up.

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm nine hundred and three years old. And I'm the man that's going to save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?

The Doctor: When I was your age—about, oo, a thousand years ago—I loved a good bedtime story. The Three Little Sontarans. The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes.

Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
