1. Who was your first James Bond/which movie did you see first?

Octopussy. So...Roger Moore? I think I was about 10 - Dad was watching it on the TV and I watched most of it (not understanding) until I got chivvied off to bed. Actually watching one through? Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye


2. Who was your first Doctor in Doctor Who/which episode or serial did you see first?

Tom Baker, glimpsed on TV, again most likely in the 80s. Actually watched? Christopher Eccleston in the "New Who" series of the 00s.


3. What is the first Dracula adaptation you remember seeing/which actor as Dracula?

The one in the 90s, billed as "Bram Stoker's Dracula" with Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman, and Keanu Reeves. I didn't get the appeal then. I still don't.

In fact, I'm not sure I've watched any other Dracula movies or shows since then.


4. Which Star Trek did you see first/can you name the episode/movie?

I think it was TOS at a friend's house back in 2003. I'd heard plenty about it, but never actually seen an episode, so we watched some OldSkool. Which...didn't appeal to me. I don't remember the episode, but I wasn't into it.

The first Star Trek that stuck was the JJ Abrams' movie - the NuTrek one, I think they're calling it.


5. Which Star Wars movie was your first?

My earliest memory of the Star Wars universe is watching Return of the Jedi which had been recorded painstakingly from the TV and which skipped the ads. But I had at some point watched A New Hope, obviously, because I knew what happened. I just don't remember actually watching it.

By the time RotJ was screened on Australian TV, though, it would have been at least 1985, two years after it was released. I don't remember exactly when I watched it, just that I did.

Five items, because 'Friday Five' sounds good.

1. Going out with friendly people tonight to dinner and drinks in a dress I made and which looks good on me.

2. I've worked out how to make my [community profile] marvel_bang move faster than it presently is.

3. Saturday is pretty much entirely free, except for catching up with a friend.

4. Sunday is a crop swap out in an area I don't usually go to.

5. It's Friday!

Taking a leaf out of [personal profile] kass' book:

1. Cats who love being petted. A friend came by last night, and her cat is an "I will allow you to caress me at arm's length" kitty, while mine are both "Oh, you have a LAP! We are FOREVER FRIENDS!" cats.

2. The realisation that Diana is all of us who want to make the world a better place: fierce anger, fierce sorrow, bitter defeat at the enormity of our failings, and loving hope at our ability to change the world.

3. #Throwback Thursday on Spotify - soundtrack hits. Currently listening to Seal's "Kiss From A Rose" - I have no idea what this song is about, but I love the harmonics of it, and the 'bridges' between chorus and verse.

4. At some point in the last couple of days, I hit 400 subscribers on AO3. That's 400 people who want to be notified when I post any fanfic, because they'll at least give it a chance.

5. Just how many wonderful people and opportunities and gifts I have in my life. Including the friends I've made on the internet. Thanks, ppls.
