Happiest moment hmmm?
(I suppose I'm not allowed to be perverse and put that angsty DoomsDay Wall scene with an aleky: "really, I'm laughing on the inside" caption?)
*crickets*
s'pose not then... hmmm... *looks at Aldy and Newton*
Thank you dear architect and dear engineer of awesome fun.

You can be sarcastic. It doesn't matter. It's like apples to apples. Sometimes the most outrageous wins the prize.

Okay, but I gotta warn you all, my entries might be a little mean. It's just my sick sense of humor I guess. Anastasia's entry #1: "Sweet Freedom"

Aldy, your icon/siggy set gives me the biggest grin EVeR! The bread bit... ;D Ana, I love it! lol. A bit mean, but I think everyone here has enough of a sense of humour not to be offended. Anyway, this is my contribution. I'm not sure it fits the whole "one happiest moment" theme, but the idea is that the Doctor is happiest when with Romana. Yes yes? I'm not really happy with how it turned out though and will probably create another entry later. edit: drat it! Why is it all white around the top??? It wasn't supposed to be like that!! *is annoyed* also, Romana's shoulder is deformed.

Alright. It took a while and a lot of editing (advice from my sister on things I should change and all that jazz) But here they are...

yes, well, if Wikipedia isn't steering me wrong that band was founded the same year I was born. I'm not *that* much younger than you Merry, well, a bit, but not HUGELY. *huggles* anybody? really? I am truly having the worst time finding any kind of Doctor pics aside from the odd promotional still, please, oh please! hilf mir, bitte! I knows! Usually I grab off of the Tragical History Tour, but with that website conpromised... though they did email me to say they've redirected their servers so no one else should have the same trouble. I learned from my computer friend guy that apparently the same virus hacked the CNN website earlier this year (is nowhere safe??) anyway, other than the good ol' THT the only place I can suggest is taking screencaps off googles? The shill pages always have quite a few photos but I'm not sure of the link.

I honestly, honestly don't know how I made the TARDIS background blur like that. I spent forever trying to duplicate the effect, but it was not to be. Also, for reasons unknown to man I also made an icon of the episode baddie hugging her poodle thing: What? lol why does this picture give me awful flashbacks to Ms. Wormwood molesting Luke...? or have I just been scarred for life by all of that? Kay, kay. Going beddy-bye now...

What? lol Awww, what an adorable...thing... ;D (and which one am I talking about?!) All of these are very nice indeed - nice to see some Happiness Patrol love, which remains in too-short supply. Too bad the person posting it on yt seems to have been nailed, along with all the rest of them I especially like the one of Seven in front of the poster - nice image.
