x - 0020 [Signs and Wonders]
We may choose to question, to doubt, the evidence of our senses; but we cannot easily deny them. We interact with the world through our bodies; and so when we find them changed, might not our perception of the world change? Or am I me in some fashion that defies the flesh entirely. I'm not touching the battle of the sexes nonsense with a ten-foot pole, because that kind of conversation never ends well for the males involved... But I'll admit it was interesting to look through different eyes. Seeing the same world from another angle. I don't know that I learned anything, except that I don't like being short, which I really could have guessed.
Still, food for thought. If it's in essence an accident that I am the man I see in the mirror every day, what does that say about the person I believe myself to be? If I'd been born in the body I found myself in the other day (admittedly not without its advantages,) would I be where I am, who I am? Or would my life have followed some other path, impossible to imagine or predict?
I don't think we're meant to learn anything from these curses-- certainly theories abound to explain them, though whether any do, who knows-- but that doesn't mean we can't.
Anyway. In other matters-- has anyone heard from Donna Noble recently? She's been uncharacteristically quiet for a couple of days...

Of course. You know I read comics.He offered me a job, but I also got a job offer from Jack at the same time and I went with that one.
You've got a new apartment?

Did you know there's a Data and Spock roaming about? I actually talked to Spock. I mean SPOCK!Oh that's lovely! So what is it that you do for Jack? Can you even say or is it classified?
Yeah, I did. Sorry I didn't leave a note or anything. I was planning on telling you.

I actually made a Star Trek reference in a conversation with a Star Wars character when I didn't know he was a Star Wars character.I guess it's sort of classified. It's a bit like what we did before, in the parallel world, you know. Don't know if I can talk about it here.
It'd be rude to use a private filter on someone else's blog.Well, you told me now. So what building?
no subject
T-there's Star Wars here too? Blimey! I-it's like...Like...Darth V-vader? Mickey you talked with Darth Vader?Yeah. That's fine. Well at least you're still in your element.
