Your daily dose of absurdity. So, there were ticket inspectors when I was getting off my tram today. And though I had a ticket, it wasn't as yet validated. I think you can guess where this is going.
Anyhow, when they took my name and address, slight problem: I didn't have anything in my bad that proved my address - only address was the farm (You know, my parents place). So, the ticket inspector dude proceeded to ring my Mum at the tram stop, in order to check the address I had given him was accurate.
Yeah, that was strange. Amusing, though, for all it's WTFery.
Anyhow, onto the actual meat of this post. Which, coincidental timing aside, was not actually inspired by this Fandom_Discuss post. I just tl;dred in the comments there.
( My relationship with Doctor Who )
Or to sum up all this tl;dr: Sorry Doctor Who fandom, I'm breaking up with you.
This isn't an "I'm leaving fandom" post. I'm still going to mod at
lifeonmartha - though that requires rather less effort these days - and I still read spoilers and follow the news and check out fics and fun stuff recommended to me.
And I'm not telling my list to go or anything - I still do read a lot of your posts on Doctor Who stuff. It's more I'm lurking again than getting involved. This is just to inform you go guys that my posts will no longer be all Doctor Who, all the time. Or even much of the time.
It's no longer Me/Doctor Who OTP. It's back to just friends.
And my new fannish lovelife is complicated enough. I've just started my affair with Comics, and I'm already cheating on him with Anime.
...And now, just to be contrary to the entire point of this post, I wish to drop in a link to a nifty bit of Doctor Who meta, namely about Martha and her character arc.Because it always makes me grumpy when people say Martha had no character development.
...Why doesn't a Martha fanvid to I Will Survive exist already?
