About Me



I edited my profile with My Own Two HandsTake the quiz: "Which Doctor Who Are You?"

Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)
You are the Fourth Doctor! You can be cold and impersonal one moment, but the next moment brimming with enthusiasm about the smallest things. Mercurial, both aloof and gregarious, you possess the ability to disarm with your wit, intelligence, and quirky sense of humor. You thrive on exploring the unusual and unknown and enjoy bringing your friends along for the ride--if they'll come.
