Never wore the suit, wanted a TARDIS door for my room as a kid
   though and had a Doctor Who calendar as a kid.

   I've seen 'em all myself; first time I was 8 (that would be
   1980) and my first doctor was Peter Davidson, who I already knew
   from "All Creatures Great and Small" that I'd watch with my
   mother and grandmother. My mother didn't share our interest in
   science fiction, so I'd watch In Search Of and Doctor Who and
   "Ancient Astronauts" stuff and NOVA and Carl Sagan with her.

   On my own, I'd stay up all night to watch PBS marathons of
   Doctor Who, until one day, I'd seen them all. I never expected
   it to come back. After the US TV movie in 1995 brought me hope
   and then dashed it to pieces, I just satiated my Time travel
   craving with ... Time cop... Sliders... Quantum Leap.. and
   THANKFULLY had Stargate SG-! to capture a part of it for the
   rest of the intervening years until, GLORIOUS OF GLORIOUS
   impossibilities, the show came back; AND better.

   I never allowed myself to get full into Doctor Who: The closest
   thing I did was in 7th grade, I'd rub the back of my neck like
   John Pertwee did and I started writing everything in British
   spellings, which got me a number of 0's and red pen marks on my
   English papers, as the teacher believed that I was American and
   needed to write in American.

   I ignored her. I didn't care about the 0s. Still got good grades
   'cause I knew she couldn't fault me in the big picture.
