Doctor? Doctor who?

Can we talk about Doctor Who real quick? Oh let's!

So, anyone looking at this blog will probably think one of three things:

1."Uh, why does this chick like police boxes so much that she decorated her blog with one? What even *is* a 'Police Call Box'?"

or

2.  "Oh cool, she likes Doctor Who."

or

3. "OMFG, she likes Doctor Who??? I LOOOOVE DOCTOR WHO - WE ARE KINDRED SPIRITS!"

If a person's reaction is 2 or 3, I will instantly like them. If a person's reaction is 1, I will probably attempt to win them over to the Whovian side.

Whovians, as a fandom, are reaching a fevered pitch of anxiety, impatience, excitement, and apprehension - all at the same time. There are some *big* events happening in the world of Doctor Who before the end of 2013. The 50thAnniversaryOMGExtravaganza is THIS Saturday! Either you understand how much of a big deal this is or you are not people. Then, just in time for Christmas, the Doctor is going to regenerate and we will say goodbye to Matt Smith. He was my first Doctor, so I'm very sad about losing him and apprehensive about the actor chosen as the 12th (13th? Depends on who you ask) incarnation of the Doctor.

Ha! I love how that last paragraph makes perfect sense to me, but to most people I know it would sound like nonsensical gibberish. ;-) I blame Husband. He watched this show for years before I finally picked it up. Last year, the university I work for shut down between Christmas and New Year's, but my husband still had to go to his work. So I was home alone for several days in a row and the only thing on TV worth watching was a marathon of Doctor Who. What can I say? I got HOOKED. Now I'm a bigger fan than my husband.

It went a little something like this:

I did not draw this and I wish I knew who did
