Boasting of my zenness yesterday turned out to be far too tempting for Fate, and I managed to give myself an anxiety attack in the evening. I think how I should have viewed it, is that I've managed to let go of something that I thought I'd never get past, given my history.

Jennie Rigg has written a post on misconceptions about Dr. Who fans. Dr.Who fandom is in many ways the British equivalent of Star Trek- fans are universally portrayed with in a certain stereotype in the popular media, and that stereotype is always male and never flattering. If you're writing a script in the UK and had a need for a sad, lifeless, mockable geek, you go for the Whovian. Because people are never happy unless they're mocking the Others. Even the News Quiz, bless its little heart, has been known to mock them. Not the Now Show, though. If anyone dared mock Dr. Who fans on the Now Show, they'd probably regret it as soon as their head comes in contact with a guitar wielded by 21 stones of angry scouser.
