Who knew

I spent part of my evening last night at a local hangout. Someone managed to notice my iPhone wallpaper which is currently the "TARDIS in Trouble" from the Icon Factory. The conversation went something like this: him: "cool - the TARDIS" me: "yeah - you a fan?" him: "oh yeah - Who is your favorite Doctor?" me: "Jon Pertwee" him: ...confused look...silence "oh, the third doctor" me: "yeah" him: "don't you wish more people knew about Doctor Who" me: "no, not really - I like knowing that I am a minority. I enjoy being someone who can choose what I like without the help of the voice of the masses. Don't you?" him: "it would just be nice if more people knew about it" me: "well it was nice chatting with you" Hasty exit - stage left.... You know - he never asked me about anyone other than the doctor. If he had, we would have had a pretty good conversation. I have been a pretty big fan of the show since way back when it was shown on the local PBS. When I first started watching it, they were already on the fourth Doctor. It was K-9 that was my first reason to watch it and Nyssa that made me stay. The sidekicks (companions) were always the main draw for me to watch the show. Technorati tag: The Doctor
