I've just noticed that my new eyeglass frames, which currently hold temporary lenses to allow me to type, are both TARDIS blue in most lights and, in some lights, slightly jewel-like purple. My two favorite colors in one stylish (but slightly heavier than I've had before) piece of eyewear ... with the number of TARDIS blue things I'm accumulating around the house, not to mention items that might be found inside the little blue box *cough action figures cough* I believe I may have tipped over into overly fannish. Heh.

I bought two tees over the last month, I have three Doctor action figures (Nine, Eleven and even Ten who isn't my favorite; I bought Eleventy myself, and my fellow fan son bought me Nine and Ten as a Christmas gift a few years ago), plus Donna, Amy, Rory, and River. Said son also bought me a lovely 6" metal TARDIS (the 3 Doctors are leaving against it now) and a TARDIS dressing gown, which I'm wearing as I post to you.
It's interesting; prior to returning to my Who fannish love, I was a written SF and fantasy fan, (still am, but my enthusiasm right now is DW-oriented.) I used to think nothing of buying book after book back before I was married and had to use money for fripperies like groceries, diapers, etc. I'm looking at my bookcases now, and although it isn't a big collection, it's still approaching 1,000. And I have friends who would sniff dismissively at that count. And yet, when we give in to the urge to buy something that goes a little beyond genre-specific into sub-genre media-specific, we start judging ourselves. It's a bit silly, eh?
