1. What was your first fandom? The first thing you were obsessively fannish about? It doesn't have to be a TV show or movie.
My understanding of the term "obsessively fannish" leads me to conclude my first fandom was the Smurfs. Every Saturday morning, I would wake up, watch, and tape the show. Then I would watch the show every day until I had every line memorized. I had a Mary Sue (named ... my real name) who was friends of the Smurfs and Gargomel's forced captive who later became Scruples girlfriend. Also, for years I insisted I wasn't a human because in the show, humans were bad and Smurfs were good. I *really* didn't get the concept of what a human was, just as I didn't get the concept of "American," which was why whenever my family rode our bikes past the house with the American flag hanging outside, I'd say, "Americans live there," thinking they were some rare and exotic breed from another country.
If you consider this obsessively fannish, than Smurfs was it. Otherwise, it is a toss up between "Hunchback of Notre Damn" /Festival of Fools, Star Trek, and Star Wars.
2. Are you still interested in your first fandom or are you so over it?
Smurfs, I'm pretty much over. Maybe if someone came over with a couple of the episodes I really remember (Baby Smurfs first episode; the one where the Princess was captured by the Raven dude and got herself out of the cage by using a hairpin and she said, 'A proper princess always has a hair pin,' which was great because she *hated* being a proper princess) or whatever, I'd watch. But I'm pretty much a grown up now. ;)
As for Hunchback/Festival ... Dude, I pray every day Disneyland brings back the FoF. Every. Single. Day.
Star Trek ... meh. I like it, I'm not as obsessive.
Star Wars, yeah, pretty much.
3. What was your first zine/fic fandom?
Um ... Buffy and Star Wars, about the same time.
4. What was your first online fandom?
Buffy. Hunchback if you want to be technical, since that was the first time I'd ever written a fic (Mary Sue) and had it posted online, but I didn't post it and wasn't in any communities. Buffy was really my first.
5. What was your first live journal fandom?
Smallville. I came from TWoP and ClarkLex.
And in doctor news:
The dude who took my blood was pretty impressed and excited by my veins (which are huge and a little bulgy.) I'm being tested again for anemia and thyroid because I'm so tired. I get home and my mom said that I should be tested for diabetes, too, since a lot of my fatigue, etc. seems to follow what I eat. And *then* she tells me that there's a history of diabetes in my family, which was news to me. Well, sort of. Apparently that story about her grandmother who lost her legs? That was about her losing her legs to diabetes.
I need to work on my listening skills. :)
