Dr Who=
Dr Who
Warning: spoilers in this post
This week's Dr Who (in America its behind BBC in the UK)
It was unsurprising a bit disturbing. But I didnt guess everything that happened and was caught by surprise so I would call that a good episode.
It was much better then last week's episode with the parasites (which made me so queazy I couldnt eat anything for most of the day and it was food I like so that's bad)
A few have fallen short like crazy.
But fortunately theres only a few Doctor Who episodes that really disappoint.
I love Dr Who
I came across it by accident and fell for the show faster then I could blink. I was hooked.
It was intriguing.
It was sci-fi and it wasn't all gore and freak out factor hollow episodes with crappy characters no one cares about.
I have a massive crush on the Dr.
(Martha would have to take me on for him lol)

Hi everyone, I'm Arwen.
Well my blogger name is Arwen :)
As you might have guessed, yes I am a fangirl, and whovian.
I also love love love the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit.
In my opinion Tolkien was a genius, as was the people who helped make Dr. Who, Harry Potter, Narnia, Percy Jackson, Stargate (and all other sci-fi and fantasy stories and tv shows that deserve their mention here)
They were spectular, the unique thing about Dr Who is that it isnt nor has ever been a book.
Few books come close to the mix of stuff thrown in Dr Who, but in fairness its been decades in the making.
I'm also a World of Warcraft player, why becuase while watching Stargate one day their was an advertisement for it with Mr T in it and I laughed so loud everyone in the other room came to see what made me laugh.
Yes when in the right situation I can have a very intense sense of humor, I'm naturally a bit playful. I have maintained a kid side and a love for books and tv shows and movies that make my imagination and my mind buzz with excitement. The kind of things that actually make me laugh, the kind of things that actually touch my heart, or make me feel comfortable like I'm with good friends.
Basically to me the things that make life a little richer, sweeter, whatever you want to call it.
Few things outside of pets, nature, close friends cooking and writing get me to leave my house. I am a chronically ill agoraphobic, with Post-traumatic stress disorder, I wouldnt even be agoraphobic if not for the fact that I can't keep an eye on everything at once when I go out, or my awkwardness with talking to other people or being in crowds, crowds overwhelm me, and my senses.
I have actually reached a point so bad at times in crowds I want to run screaming, instead I internalize it and have an asthma attack, get pale and start sweating. While I have found ways around this disorder a little, its not something I can just decide not to do. I have it, whether I fight it work with it or give in to it completely is a choice, but the illness is not. Finding a world of things that matter to others that also matter to me in stories is vital to my existance. I find myself feeling very much like a freak or the one left of an entire people, so Dr Who is not hard to empathize with. Harry potter, with his scarred forehead, shares the crazed aunt and uncle I have (seriously my aunt and uncle make his seem like sweeties but still I can feel for him) I also have a scar on my head, in 1st grade it was like a crooked line splitting my forehead, luckily my scar didnt grow with me, so when my head grew, it seemed tiny, the scar I got as a hyper 2 year old trying to keep up with tomboy sisters, is not massive anymore. It seems sometimes certain characters in books could relate better to me then most people I have actually met, or maybe writers just have the guts to bring out the sides of us in spite of ourselves that make us more drawn to these stories and make the characters relate-able.
No characters I have seen suffer from my kind of PTSD, well evenutally Harry Potter's world gets close to having a lot of PTSD.
I dont like to be defined by my failings or the bad things that have happened to me in life, yet they are a part of me, so I know its healthy to be willing and opened to admit where I fall short or where things are still a bit deliciate from past traumas.
I was born with an ankle problem which is causing me to require surgery eventually, an idea I do not like at all. But with real life comes the complex in betweens books and tv rarely mention
