Hi! I hope you don't mind I make this public. I just figured I'd say it now, should anyone else be curious, as I differ from a lot of people in this aspect and I imagine there are some that may be curious as to why. :)

But ah, yes, you hit the nail on the head for me. XD I just really, really don't like Holden Caulfield. He's incredibly unlikeable for me, even though on occasion I could relate to him; I ended up finishing the book thinking, "That's it? Really?" It was the most unsatisfied I had ever felt reading a book, and I was extremely disappointed.

It might be because I read it when I was 20 or so, so that age of adolescence when I know a lot of people can relate to it had technically passed...but really I feel like it was because nothing he said felt new or insightful or deep. The idea that people, specifically adults, could be "phonies" was obvious to me, and had been obvious for years; that's how mind and power games are played, and I was already interested in politics, which is full of those. The idea that isolation can be used to protect oneself was also not new, but the fact that he did so because he felt superior to everyone around him completely ruined it for me because I didn't find him superior to anyone whatsoever. I'm also an extroverted person with an introverted streak and fascinated in people, so his need to be close but his instinct to drive them away kind of fell flat to me, too.

And then his desire to keep things fixed and simple and his division of childhood and adulthood worlds also completely fell flat because I'm the exact opposite. I see complexity in almost everything and love it, and grow weary when things remain static for too long. As much as I can hate change, I also like it because it keeps things interesting. And the idea that childhood is saintly and innocent compared to adulthood seems ridiculous to me, as children can definitely be cruel in ways that only children can be, and adults can be good in ways that children can't understand.

So yeah. The reason I didn't like it was because I disagreed with almost every thought he had, his hypocrisy annoyed me, and I simply didn't like the narrator. I know a ton of people, though, including Benedict Cumberbatch (not that I know him personally XD), really like the book, so I know many people must relate to something in it strongly enough to consider it one of their favorites. I'm just not one of those people. >_>

But I figure Holden would hate me if he knew me, and I would hate him if I knew him, so there's no love lost, there.

callaghan is kawaii as fuck cos my mom wrote to him advising him on economic policy and he replied omg dude you are prime minister and the country ain't that great, you don't need to write back to 15 year old girls

HOLY JEZUIT. That was like the first video I ever made. O____O it was the one that sent me down the dark and treacherous path of TwiTubing. omg, hi xD

ANYWAY, 

9. is. my. favourite. doctor.

He really is ignored and it's so depressing because he's the one Rose fell in love with but no one sees that shit. AND THE REASON she fell in love with him is because he was FANTASTICCCC. He was funny and carefree but omg it was such a mask for all the rage and anger and loneliness he felt inside but he never let anyone see it. WE THE AUDIENCE got to see it, and GOODLAWD he was just the best doctor. He followed the rules of time, which has progressed to 11 just throwing them out completely, he NEVER EVER let anything happen to his companions. He was blunt but still nice and charmingly snarky if that makes sense and NOT FUCKING RUDE like 10 is and 11 is just... ugh. 11 never grew on me, hes flat out mean sometimes and just, god hes like a toddler and if you dont stroke his ego he throws a fit.

FUCKDAMMIT 9 WAS JUST THE BEST DOCTOR. Now, don't misunderstand me, I'm talking about 9. 9's personality and way of being. I don't think Chris was better than David acting wise and I love Matt Smith. But essentially they all played different people because with each regeneration the doctor gets an entirely new personality. we all know this. 

I have progressively liked the doctor less and less since 9. But the actors have all done fantabulous jobs with theirs. 

lol I liked ten, but sometimes he annoyed me which is okay. He was slightly more rude and it bothered me that he didn't treat Rose the same. It was like 9 knew he couldn't lead her on, 10 didn't give a shit. AND I MEAN, I guess it makes sense if he didn't REALISE IT like with Martha, but he knew. And I know he loved her too blah blah whatever that entire plot was horrible and just made me mad. lol BUT OVERALL, I liked ten. He had that double personality going on like he could flip a switch. NOW IM DOCTOR, MOST FEARED IN ALL THE UNIVERSE etc. to Hey yall Im the doctor Im so fun and happy but Ill tell you how it is.

Which 9 didn't have, 9 was more balanced. All the emotions in one and he just had to try to keep them controlled.

anyway fuck 11 in the ass man. I don't like him at all. Hes all willy nilly with the time laws and HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES HAS HE LET RORY DIE? AND AMY GET INTO TROUBLE, okay 9 and 10 did everything under the sun to keep their companions safe and would never have allowed situations to get so out of control. 11 is like a child. HES A FUCKING CHILD I JSUT UGHUGUHSGUHGUSDGHKSDFJGHOERIG The angels episode and the belly of the beast like HIGHLIGHT everything I hate about him. 

I mean, hes fun and quirky and I understand that he was trying to not make connections with people again but still jfc. Hes just TOO different and not in a good way.
