You Are a Bullmastiff

You are confident, reasonable, and very calm. Nothing shakes you up. It's likely that you were a bit wild when you were younger, but you've gotten that out of your system. The only time you get aggressive is when someone tries to threaten or harm you in some way. There's a little bit of wolf underneath all that sheep's clothing!

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Someone over at the doctorwho community posted this link to a Doctor Who quiz where you have to name all the episodes from each era of each of the classic Doctors in less than five minutes.  I only named 20 out of 26 first Doctor stories.  I missed episodes like "Edge of Destruction" and "Dalek Invasion of Earth" (which I consider the best Dalek episode dealing with an occupation.)  I missed "The Celestial Toymaker".  What the hell was I thinking?  I'm a huge Hartnell fan and feel that many of his episodes still hold up today.

Sigh. On the bright side, I guess, I named all of McCoy's episodes in 1:24 seconds. That's good, right? (Waiting for Lighthope to jump in and say how wrong that is.)
