Hello Sweetie! Who Are You? Introduce Yourself!

rbartlett9671

Greetings

I thought it would be quite brilliant to have a Whovian group here on MFP - no matter where you are in the world and no matter WHO you are, you're more than welcome to join...

So please, introduce yourself...

My name is Richard... I'm English but I live in Louisville, Kentucky where I work as a corporate trainer for a large telecommunications company.

I'm separated and I have a six year old son whom I've taught to say "Allons-y!", "Brilliant!", "Fantastic", "Crikey Charlie!" and "Dinosaurs! On a spaceship!" as we walk around stores.

He's also slowly getting into Star Wars... once he does, his journey toward the dark side will be complete.... mwah ha ha

I also like Star Trek (sort of), Red Dwarf, Philip K **** (a favourite film is Blade Runner) and I'm BIG into astronomy. (I used to write freelance for Astronomy magazine.)

Ummmm... I'm also very open about who I am and I can be a bit... random...

That's about it for now...

Welcome!!!

Tatiyanya

Hiii.
My name is Tatiana, born in Poland and I currently live in Warsaw, but tend to travel a whole lot because living among other nations is fasscinating!
I work as translator and part time barista (I like a mean coffee, me) with dream of becoming personal trainer/dietarian by the end of the year . My weightloss journey made me realise that I love helping people make good and healthy lifestyle changes
I used to study philosophy, precisely history of philosophy. Left me with moral imperative from hell and tendency to over-discuiss everything
I'm major Doctor Who fan (obviously!) , apart from that all forms of geekery are close to me heart.. I love books, with fantasy and science fiction having super warm place in my heart, love good movies, i'm quite fond of zombies . They are my apocalypse of choice . Star Wars , Star Trek...even Star Gate. Galaxy Quest, obviously >.> . Good cinematography in any form actualy.
What ellllse?
I have terrible sense of humour and maturity of 12 year old boy.
Brain contains high ammount of sarcasm and cynism,

..Donna Noble is my favourite companion

Hey, another Whovian group!

I'm Leah. I'm 25. I live in Oklahoma. 11 is my Doctor.

rbartlett9671

Welcome, both of you - it's nice to meet you

There's already a Whovian group? Really? Hmmmm... I searched for Doctor Who and nothing came up....

rbartlett9671

Actually, I just found it... whoopsie... oh well LOL

I honestly didn't mean to create this one to compete against it...

SlvrBluGoddess

Greetings!

My name is Kristen. I was born & raised in Portland Oregon USA (still live there). My first Doctor was Pertwee. I did fall out of the loop a bit when I moved away from home - I stopped watching soon after Colin Baker became The Doctor. So I have some catching up to do with the classic Who. I've been watching the new one ever since it came back.

I have a 14 year old son who is a handful... he was born with a mild case of Spina Bifida and about 4 years ago he was diagonsed with Asperger's... again a mild form but still difficult.

I'm fairly geeky and to prove it my birthday this year will be the answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything.

Brightest Blessings!

rbartlett9671

Welcome!

I'll have the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything in June too

I never did get into the original Who much... when you're raised on Star Wars, watching people running around hallways with wibby wobbly walls just doesn't work for me LOL

(I've since gotten into it a bit... have the very first few episodes on DVD, plus The Five Doctors.)

Ever seen Blake's 7? More wibbly wobbly walls but some cracking storytelling. Sci-Fy is remaking it this year.... yeahhhh... we'll see...

VickiG36

My name is Vicki, I live in Louisiana, when you say Doctor Who most people say "Who, what, what's that". So we're odd balls and we like it that way.

David Tenant is my favorite doctor.

rbartlett9671

LOL Vicki... you should work where I work... we're tech-heads... I've never seen a higher concentration of Whovians in one place before... it's the only place I've worked where you can wear a tweed jacket and a bowtie for Halloween and people won't think you're a boring college professor.

SlvrBluGoddess

I haven't seen Blake's 7.

I was raised on Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Dungeons and Dragons... *grin* As well as movies from the golden age of Hollywood (ya know, the musicals - lol)

rbartlett9671

Cool What did you think of the Star Trek reboot? And what of JJ taking on Star Wars? I'm definitely looking forward to the new Trek movie in a few months and I think SW Ep VII could be well worth the wait too...

SlvrBluGoddess

I liked the Star Trek reboot.

I'm not sure about anyone taking over Star Wars... I think that saga should have been left alone after the initial three. lol

rbartlett9671

Someone said JJ Abrams turned the bridge of the Enterprise into an Apple store LOL I liked it though - am looking forward to Into Darkness.

You know, everyone hates on the prequels, but I don't mind them. I didn't really like Return Of The Jedi anyway. Teddy bears with sticks overthrowing legions of stormtroopers? I don't think so. A second Death Star? Where did that come from?? That was just a rehash of the first movie and I thought it was lazy storytelling. (I may have been right - apparently Lucas only made ROJ because he had to. Even by that time he was done with the whole saga.)

SpecialSundae

I'm Sundae. I'm a lifelong Whovian and Sylvester McCoy was my first Doctor. I'm an Edinburgh girl born and bred and also a fan of Buffy, Star Trek, Stargate (except Universe, although "Begbie in space" was entertaining), Torchwood, and to a lesser extent Warehouse 13, Fringe and almost any geeky show.

Oh, and David Tennant is my favourite Doctor and I love Captain Jack. I think Jenna Louise Coleman has the potential to be a genuinely great companion but I'd love to see Jenny return.

rbartlett9671

Awesome - welcome Special Sundae

Did anyone like Stargate Universe? Never saw it myself but apparently all the SG fans turned away LOL

My brother did but he doesn't like Who so his opinion is invalid! :-p

mom9198

I'm from California originally but I am loving living in Portland, Oregon. I've been a closet Trekkie for years until my husband told me that I was so far out of the closet, I was in the Delta Quadrant. I started watching Doctor Who with the reboot, and am loving it, especially sharing it with my 14 year old daughter. She has been a bit of a challenge, with Sensory Processing Disorder, (possible Aspergers) with related anxiety. It's nice to have something that we all can share together. I'm in process of getting a cosplay together of a Dalek that is part of my power wheelchair, for KumoriCon, during Labor Day weekend. Love meeting other sci fi fans/ whovians.

rbartlett9671

LOL @Special Sundae - well, we can't all be perfect, can we?

mom9198 - that's cool - I wanted to dress as one of the Doctors for Halloween, but alas, I don't look like any of them. It's funny you mention Aspberger's... I've come across several people over the past six months who have children with possible (or confirmed) Aspberger's. My son is one... he's just had the test to see where he falls within the autistic spectrum. We know he's not fully autistic but I watched Rain Man recently and he exhibits almost every one of the traits to some degree.

Hi! Only my second day on MFP. I've only seen Dr.s 9, 10 and 11. Got hooked on NetFlix.
I'm in Tucson, AZ.

rbartlett9671

Brilliant! Welcome, jpegjordan

Since you're new, you could probably use a friend or two... I'll send you a request

sgrubby

Hi there, I'm from Phoenix, AZ and an all around sci-fi nerd. Doctor Who and Star trek are on the top of my list. My first Doctor was Tom Baker. I sorta lost interest after Peter Davidson but came back full on when the reboot came out with Christopher Eccelston in 2005.
