Uffish Thought

Unlike many people, I can actually track the start of my adventures in fandom to a specific date: on October 3, 2000, I walked into the living room to catch the end of the Dark Angel premiere. I fell completely in love on the spot, but my need to find out what I missed in the first part of the episode led me to the internet, where I fell down the rabbit hole into fandom.

I did eventually get to watch the full pilot the following spring, when a fandom friend in Florida recorded a rerun and mailed me the VHS. *laughs* It was a different time, and it’s been a wild ride over the years, but I have no regrets.
