theatrical_muse #191: Where do you see yourself in 20 years?

[ninth_doctor]

I could go on here about how futile it is for a bloke like me to talk in terms of years, seein' as I've got myself a time-and-space machine. And how “years” is really something hard to describe since there’re so many planets with different orbits that a year could take anywhere between an Earth day and an Earth century. Or more. Or less. But

I travel through time and space! How should I know where I'm gonna end up?

[ninth_doctor]

If I met m'self, that would cause a very, very big problem, and might end with the negation of the existence of an entire planet. Or more.

Unless it's not this regeneration, then I think I'm all right.

Nice answer. *grins* Do you have any real necessary of keeping track of time, though?

[ninth_doctor]

So I don't get lost. Also, it'd be pretty sad if I didn't even know my own age.

[enduring_pryde]

Lost how? From what point? I could see wanting to know times and dates so you can keep appointments, but outside of that...*shrugs* You're more or less Immortal, right? Does age matter to your race like it does to humans?

[ninth_doctor]

Matters to me. And lost as in...huh. Not really sure how to explain it. We're sort of creatures of time, so it's really just in my nature. Would you wanna be thrust into somewhere where there wasn't any time? It's disorienting, to say the least.
