The Future Doctor and Her Tardis

To really tell this story, we have to backtrack about 3 years, to when your lovely narrator the future doctor, as she shall be known for the duration of this post, had just returned to the US from London and was running out of things to watch on netflix. She had an eccentric, brilliant friend J, the future MD, who was, as many brilliant people are, a huge fan of Doctor Who. J was baffled by the fact that the future doctor had lived in London for an entire school year and had never seen a single episode. 

The future doctor, however, disillusioned by her pretty miserable experience in that city, just rolled her eyes and said that there was no way that she was watching a popular British show. And so they moved on. 

Just over a year later, the future doctor was at her parents' home on winter break when her brother forced her to turn off her beloved wedding dress shows so that he could watch some absurd episode of that same Doctor Who show. The future doctor was not pleased about this edict, but as her episodes had been pre-recorded, she agreed to turn them off and return to them later.

And thus began the future doctor's experience of the Doctor. The first episode she ever saw was The Snowmen, and as that episode was 7 seasons into the current run, needless to say she was puzzled by much of what happened. However, she was also intrigued.

When she returned to her apartment in New Orleans, she found that the first few seasons were on Netflix, and so she sat down to watch them in a moment of procrastination from grad school. The rest is history. Since then, the future doctor has forced everyone she could to watch the show, and now owns many cheesy items of Doctor Who memorabilia, including an awesome Yahtzee set and several Christmas ornaments (thanks Mom!). 

And so when she heard that she would have the opportunity to visit a Tardis, her brain shut down from excitement. She spent two days planning the perfect outfit, trying to determine what she would wear if she were to actually run away with the doctor. There were so many considerations, but she finally went with a spring dress because it photographs well and she figured that she could run in a dress if she needed to.

The warehouse was full of incredible things...

But nothing was more incredible than the big blue box (which, unfortunately, was not actually bigger on the inside, but did house folding tables!).

 

And the future doctor was united with her Tardis. And it was wonderful.

The End.

I have returned!

I know I've been gone for a long time, and I offer my sincerest apologies for my absence. In May, I started the process of moving and am now currently in transit, and will be for the next month and a half. Would you ever think that "where do you live?" would be a difficult question?

This may be crazy, but I actually think this process is really fun! I'll be travelling around and seeing new states for the next few weeks. I have a trip lined up (starting next Friday!) to see Charleston, SC and Williamsburg, VA. There will be beach days and fancy restaurants and historical adventures. Basically, it'll be an amazing trip. 

And so for now, I'm spending my days hanging out in a hotel room in Georgia. And what better way to help the time pass than to watch tons of netflix and paint my nails the most obnoxious shade of yellow that I own? It's summer after all, the perfect season for being overwhelmingly bright! Plus, doing my nails at home is a major way that I save some money (although  from time to time, I may end up spending a lot of that savings on buying cool new polishes...you didn't hear that from me).

So, until I have something more entertaining to talk about, here is my manicure with Butter London's Wellies polish!
