grlgoddess1. REPLY TO THIS MEME BY YELLING "MY NAME IS THE MASTER", AND I WILL GIVE YOU FIVE WORDS THAT REMIND ME OF YOU.
2. THEN POST THEM IN YOUR JOURNAL AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU.
3. KEEP IN MIND THAT IF I DON'T KNOW YOU THAT WELL, YOUR WORDS MIGHT END UP KIND OF ODD OR WEIRD. EVEN IF I DO KNOW YOU, YOUR WORDS WILL STILL MAYBE PROBABLY BE WEIRD. :)

sharkshark gave me these:
The Doctor (not Doctor Who, just the Doctor)
Harry Potter
fanfic
sharpies
Dragonball Z
1. The Doctor
The Doctor is wonderful and strange and indescribable. It completely baffles me when people say they aren't going to watch the show without David Tennant. Most of them have been watching since series 1 or 2 at least, and have probably known about it for longer. I didn't know this show existed until 07, I doubt I knew about regeneration until late 2008. I'm not normally one to argue that there is One True Interpretation of anything, but if you leave with Ten, YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.
I've seen stuff from 1, 3, 5, and all televised 4, 8, 9, and 10. I can't pick a favourite or least favourite incarnation. I love how he's always the same and yet there's always something different.
2. Harry Potter
My first fandom, and something I've promised to never resent or regret. For my grad, the song that played while I walked in was Hedwig's Theme, and my slideshow song was an edited version of The Instigators by The Weasel King. That year, I did my Media Studies final project on Harry Potter and fandom, and probably got one of the best marks I'd ever got from that teacher. (Did I mention how interesting it is to show a Snape/Harry fanvid to your class? Good times.) I read a bajillion fanfics, and tried my hand a writing a few. My desktop at home is filled with HP fanart and promo images from the movies. Half of my music is still Wizard Rock. It was a whole era of my life, and even though I never made it to a con or concert, and never made any friends through it, it's still something I wouldn't trade.
3. Fanfic
When I discovered fandom, I read a lot of fanfic. Mostly on fanfic.net. I would read for pretty much anything that I had a working knowledge of canon in (although Sailor Moon stuff confused me for a while. 'Who the hell is Usagi?' and so on). I wouldn't really review though, because my internet had this thing where if you closed one window, the whole browser would crash. This was before tabs and it majorly sucked. So I got in the habit of only reviewing if something was super-freaking-awesome-wow or just pretty good and finally finished. Which is my excuse for why I still suck at leaving reviews and comments.
I wrote a couple oflight-hearted cracky fics that I posted, and tried to start on a Marauder-era Lily-centric fic which I didn't even manage to get far enough in to get her on the train. When I got into Doctor Who fandom, I started writing a lot of Doctor/Donna. I'm not entirely happy that I haven't written stuff in ages, but hopefully I'll write more in the summer again.
These days, fanfic seems to be the only reading I'm doing. :/
4. Sharpies
Classic. From about grade 9 on, I didn't really have to pay attention in science classes. At all. On the back of about half of my notes were my quasi-anime doodles. I progressed into having full-page drawings that I would have on a separate sheet off to the side. The medium of colouring best suited to this was Sharpies. I had a 24 pack in my pencil case. The best part is that my teacher didn't even care. I managed 80s throughout high school science.
5. Dragonball Z
Dragon Dragon Ball; Dragonball Z!!
First off, you have no freaking idea how hard it is to find this on YouTube. So. Many. Rock the Dragon. This is just so much awesomer. And fun to sing along to.
One of the weird things I remember is the exact lineup on YTV at the time. Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonball Z. This was before the YuGiOh and Beyblade stuff, but after (or maybe concurrent with?) Sailor Moon. Vegeta and Piccolo were kinda BAMF and with Trunks, it showed my predilection to recognising the pure awesome of Future!person (I still love Future!Chris from Charmed).
I started trying to rewatch them all in grade 11, but it tapered off around the Namek stuff. I think Goku was almost there, but not quite. I took some screenshots of it, though, and got pretty skilled at drawing Vegeta.
OH! And I decided to jump on this bandwagon:
