I really do hate it. It's messing with my mind.
Before I started watching I was relatively normal. I didn't obsessively check for news about a premiere date, I didn't make incoherent fan girl noises when I lean of certain actresses are coming back. And I certainly didn't cry hysterically when a character didn't even die. And Timebabies was not part of vocabulary.
I didn't spend all my time - when I should be doing homework and writing papers - obsessively searching YouTube for David Tennant vids, reading Doctor Who fanfiction, trolling livejournal for yet more Doctor Who pics, and creating my own David Tennant/Doctor Who posters for my apartment because they are aparently not available in (or able to be shipped to) the U.S.
My family/friends didn't look at me like I was a complete lunatic for watching something that makes me cry for the millionth time. And I sound like an incomprehensible raving nutter for using British slang that is now a part of my native vernacular to such an extent that said family/friends only understand half of what I'm saying!! Also, I'm fairly certain that the reason behind my desire to leave the country and move halfway around the world to the U.K. might have something to do with my obsession with the Doctor (just maybe).
I just wish I had known how damaging the bloody show was for my mental health. I would have avoided it like the plague. Now it's too late.
