Obsessions and a One-Year Anniversary

It has been exactly one year since I started this blog. In honor of that, I think it's time to introduce you to two of my latest obsessions: Sherlock and Doctor Who.

But before I do that, I need to tell you something important. I'm a Christian. No, I don't hate you if you aren't. No, I'm not going to throw Bible verses at you and tell you how you're living your life wrong. But being a Christian is a huge reason why this blog is important to me. I will probably use Scripture from time to time to explain what I believe and why. Nonetheless, this is still just a blog about what it is to be a Chronically Unique Teen. However, if you have any questions about Christianity, I am happy to answer them.

 I'm sure you've heard of Sherlock Holmes: legendary fictional detective introduced to this world by the books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There have been many movies, TV shows, and remakes over the ages, but the particular Sherlock I'm obsessing over is a newer show by BBC. Why the obsession? Because it's perfectly cast, masterfully written, and beautifully quirky. If you don't know who Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are, look them up now. If you start watching the show (which I highly recommend you do), start at the beginning. Let me know when you're hooked! :-)

I've been hearing about Doctor Who for a while, but I only recently started watching it. I keep asking myself why I didn't start watching it sooner because it is amazing! If you enjoy Sherlock, science fiction, and quirky humor, what are you waiting for? I still haven't figured out what the best starting point is. After skipping around a lot, I'm currently on Season 1 of the newer version of the show (there's also one from the 60's, but I haven't even found that yet). Long-time Doctor Who fans, where did you start?

Fandom people (and others who are interested in my blog), I would love to hear from you! Leave a comment, and feel free to share!

  1. I totally agree. BBC Sherlock was so beautifully cast. Almost as beautiful as Benedict cumberbatch himself. <3

    1. Hi Fangirl42! Thank you for your comment! I too have a not-so-secret crush on Benedict Cumberbatch. Or is it Sherlock? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure every female fan of the show feels the same way.
