I WONDER IF IT’S EVEN POSSIBLE TO GO TO SLEEP AND WAKE UP FEELING FULLY RESTED.

I REALLY FUCKING DO.

I’VE BEEN WONDERING THIS TOO.

It really is not. 

My boyfriend insists that it is.

I say he is full of lies.

Possible but rare. I think I’ve managed it a couple of times.

The worst part is only being tired upon awakening and almost never when going to bed. Clearly, 24 hours is too short a day cycle. The Munroe method (20/8 or 19/9) is too long, and has too short a sleep length. 16/10 sounds about right most of the time.

Unfortunately, I value a consistent schedule even more than I value restful sleep, and it’s impractical to move to Bajor.

What if all of us are time lords…

… and we became humans to hide from Daleks.

There were forsythia bushes.

They lined the side of the backyard, the left side as you exited the house. Stretched from the bleeding-heart bush at the gate to the mulberry tree at the far end, the tree guarding the spot where you could hop the fence and get into the elementary school’s playground. The arcs of their branches left hollows beneath, big enough to crawl inside and sit in. Bury hidden treasure in the fallen leaves of the previous year.

#what if the doctor is saying a whole bunch of different words in gallifreyan here #and they’re all just translating into physics because our puny human language doesn’t pick up on the subtleties #what if that’s what he really means when he says he hopes they’re getting all that down #secrets of time and space courtesy of the last of the time lords #what if

That is INCREDIBLE.  I really want this to be truuuuue.

And a whole load of Republicans are threatening to move to Canada in light of this?

Should- should somebody tell them?

No, no, no. Let’s let it be a surprise.

They…what? Really? Seriously?
