I had to look up some stuff, too. Don't feel too bad. *g*
My horrible and/or amusing old fan obsessions? Hmmm....
Well, when I was a kid I was heavily into:
Batman with Adam West. I even named my pet canary Batman. SHUT UP! I was like 5! Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys were a fav. I like the older ones. Although, after examining the publication date on one, I went to my grandmother and asked her what a running board was. *g* Actually, the older ones were better written. The Hardy Boys had a little more violence, so I read those, too. Trixie Belden was always being read. Mystery girl here. Sherlock Holmes was discovered at 11. I even dressed like him and did an oral book report in middle school. I still adore him. Shakespeare was found by me early on via my grandmother. And who wouldn't still be a fan?!
I was very bookish as a girl. Lots of alone time in my room reading. And media-wise? All the stuff listed in my bio. I was a little too early for Babysitters Club.
The only REALLY embarrassing thing to admit? When I got hooked on the original Star Wars, I got a blanket. Blue with Luke with his light saber on and Darth and Chewie. I was a little old for it at the time, but...hey, fangirl. Well, I still have it and when it gets really cold I use it as an extra blanket on my bed. Hey! It's very warm. And soft. So what if it's almost 30 years old? Oh. My. God. It's almost 30 years old! Holy hell...
I also *shakes head for admitting this as well* named my last dog after a tv character. It was a Celtic name and he was an Irish Setter and so it actually fit him really well. Mac. Thank goodness I didn't name him after my fav character from that show. Even I realized it didn't fit. I really thanked the breeder for pointing that out. Also, unfortunately, I was nowhere near 5. *hangs head*
