Lessons Learned: A rather large percentage of this list comes from Doctor Who. I should probably start watching more TV skiffy, since it tends to have a higher ratio of female characters than cop dramas do. Also it means I'd get Janeway.

Also my reading tastes are incredibly lowbrow. I do read real literature, I really do, but I tend not to get fannish about it or attached to the characters in the same way.

And now I should do work or shower or go outside or something.
