- What I did during my senior year of high school: yearbook, yearbook, and more yearbook! I lived and breathed yearbook, I went around waving pica rulers at people, and I cropped everything in sight. That's what I get for being editor! Fortunately I was able to do the senior play too, or else I'd have gone mad. ;>

- First story I remember watching: Genesis of the Daleks (the moment when Sarah falls from the scaffolding is my earliest memory of the show - though I also have distinct memories of several frightening moments in The Android Invasion involving the Kraal pods, which I inexplicably thought looked like whales.)

Also up there are Dodo's medieval Ark tabard and jaunty Toymaker costume; Zoe's glittery silver catsuit and War Games trenchcoat; Sarah's Planet of Evil denim; Leela's practical Fang Rock jeans; loads of Lalla Ward's costumes; Nyssa's Traken jacket-and-trousers combo; Tegan's forest nymph costume; Peri's Twin Dilemma costume; Mel's dirt-defying Time and the Rani outfit and polka-dotty Paradise Towers tails; and, Ace's 40s Fenric clobber.
