Whoing and FB

tasty_kateI have my own personal rule that if someone in my family leaves themselves logged into Facebook on the "public" computer in the living room, I will bomb their status. Like, for my vegetarian sister, I'll put something like "Mmm, bacon's best when it's greasy" or something of that sort. Mostly I get my sister 'cause she does it the most.
Fast forward to this past Monday. My sister is using the computer downstairs in the living room and I'm on my own up stairs. I log onto Facebook. My status reads: "I change my mind. Dr Who is lame."
I stomp down the stairs and say, "Jeeessss??" She says in an overly sweet voice, "Yes?" Guilty as charged. I stop back up stairs and respond in my nerdiest voice ever: "WHAAAAA???? Fist off: A real Whovian doesn't write "Dr. Who" as "Dr. Who" isn't his name, it's just "the Doctor", so when spelling out the title of the show, one never abbreviates "Doctor". Second: NEVERRRRR"
*face palm* This then ensues a long debate between my brothers and I about how I no longer am a "Dr Who" fan, bla bla bla. In comes back-up from my Aunt saying that I am the only person she knows with a sonic screw driver. My friend from Oxford jumps in and says, "Unfortunately Kate is not the only person I know that owns a sonic screwdriver." I reply, "Well, I think your geographic location has something to do with that. Isn't Doctor Who theme your national anthem?"
No word on the answer to my question yet. I know that us Yanks are on the edge of our seats for a response. I'll keep you all posted.
In other news: If I want to more or less stomp out spoilers for myself... should I stop using Tumblr?
