Your job is now your Time Lord name. The last digit of your phone number is the current regeneration you are in. The nearest clothing item to your right is now the most notable item in your current wardrobe. The last person you texted is your current companion. Your favourite word is now your catchphrase.

Name The Sandwich Artist is garbage. my real name is in the title.
Current regeneration Second! Im a baby.
Wardrobe My jeans. That's it? Plain old boring jeans? Am I naked on top or what?
Companion Cora! <3 Blonde, cute and geeky. I'll have it. She'll be mags.
Catchphrase "No probs." Or awesomepants. Or mags, actually. I say them a lot.

And the added bit: TARDIS stuck as...? A grandfather clock. <3

ETA: My brother was amused and played along despite his lack of enthusiasm for all things Who. These are his answers:

Name The Barista. (He makes the best coffee in all of time and space.)
Current regeneration Sixth.
Wardrobe There wasn't anything to his right, so in his words, "Im either naked or wearing a suit made of Bounty." xD
Companion Boo-boo. He assures me that isn't the girl's name, but its also all he would tell me.
Catchphrase "Shiny!" (Actually his catchphrase irl.)
TARDIS stuck as...? The DeLorean. (Yes. He also says he won't shift into the time vortex until he reaches 88 mph. Geek.) <3

I realised something last week. It has been so long since I engaged in fandom activity (nearly ten years!) with another person right in front of me that I have sort of forgotten that not everybody watches telly like I do. (Apart from my brother, but he doesn't count because we watch telly exactly the same.)

A new co-worker of mine, Cora, is a big telly geek too. Which has made it crazy fun to work with her (especially in the emotional climate my job is currently in.)

But last week, we got a spoiler photo from an episode of Dexter. And I started postulating who I thought it could be. Midway through the conversation, Cora says to me

"I've never done this, trying to figure out what's gonna happen next."

And I screeched to a halt.

I know I don't watch things the way a lot of people do. I suppose most people watch an episode, and once it's over, it's over. Not for me. I continue thinking about it. I blog about it. I theorise. (Sometimes I fic and get really emotionally invested and cry for way too long when a character regenerates and the show takes a flying leap. That happens too.)

I look at it from a writer's perspective. I know all the tricks and I can name all the tropes. I can usually spot a plot twist coming a mile off, unless it's really clever or really stupid.

So when my prediction on who the murder victim was turned out to be RIGHT...

D8 I feel all guilty now! I totes inadvertantly spoiled it for Cora.

Nevermind that I dont usually get fannish outside of my house to start with. (Cons are just.. ohmgod I get so much secondhand embarrassment. And actors finding out or talking about fic? Or shipping? OH GOD. MY BRAIN.)
