You Know You're Obsessed With Doctor Who When...

{} you think bow-ties are cool

{} you think fezzes are cool

{} ...you've looked up how to spell the plural of 'fez' (fezes and fezzes are acceptable, apparently)

{} you'd even consider that Stenson's might be cool even if you have a pronounced aversion to cowboy hats

{} you have all the soundtracks

{} ...and when you watch an episode you name the tracks used

{} you frequently tap things in the Master's drum rhythm

{} you've ever had a DW song, youtube video, or trailer, on repeat for more than an hour

{} you've made your own DW music remixes (even if you have no idea what you're doing)

{} visiting the DW Proms is before seeing Stonehenge on your list of things to do if you visit the UK (if you don't live there)

{}...even though megaliths genuinely get you excited

{} when someone asks if if it's a right or a left you shout 'turn left'....even if it's actually a right

{} ….you shout 'turn left' even when no one's asked you for directions

{} any time someone mentions pears you say 'I hate pears' even if you like them

{} …you do this so often people know you don't mean it

{} you can recite David Tennant's strange noises with his mouth

{}...and do so regularly

{} ...and have taught your family/friends to do the same

{} any time anyone mentions bananas you say 'bananas are good' and/or 'always take a banana to a party' even if you don't like them

{} you've counted the shadows in a library

{} you've offered some one tea in your best Dalek voice

{} you find ways to work in lines from DW into mundane conversations

{} you spontaneously quote the show in conversations

{} ...even if the conversation has no link what-so-ever to the quote

{} your friends/family are used to this even if they don't watch DW

{} you can recite large portions of episodes word for word

{} …and do the accents

{} ….in public

{} (if not from the UK) you do this so often you have trouble keeping your own accent

{} you think The Doctor is a good name for a baby

{} you're preoccupied by the fact that the Doctor's daughter played the Doctor's daughter and then had the Doctor's daughter

{} you have fantasies about being the Doctor/ the Doctor's companion

{} ...they have plots, monsters, and at least some are suitable for all audiences

{} you've had Who themed dreams

{} ...with plots, monsters, and at least some of which were suitable for all audiences

{} you have over a 100 DW themed works in your gallery

{} you've dressed up/cosplayed a character from DW

{} you've considered dressing up like a character from DW for a formal occasion (or done so)

{} you think no wedding is complete without a TARDIS

{} you've danced like the Doctor at Amy's wedding

{} ...you plan to do so at the next wedding you attend (or have done so)

{} you've written lengthy theories about season 5's timelines

{} you've spouted lengthy Who theories at your friends/family even if they don't watch DW

{} you've spouted lengthy Who theories at pets

{} you've run around a room with a pen pretending it's a sonic screwdriver

{} you've run around a room pretending a pen was a sonic screwdriver pretending to be Matt Smith when he got his bow tie and tweedy jacket and braces

{} you've watched at least some Classic Who (or, at least some New Who for those who didn't start with New)

{} you've watched all the Doctor Who confidentials

{} you can't sleep at night because you're thinking about a list of how obsessed you are with Doctor Who
