Okay so maybe not a 101 reasons, but you get the picture. Although I'm sure I could think of that many if a) I had the time and b) I was allowed to do a post that was 10,000 words long.
Of course I blame it all entirely on my mother. After all she was the one who let an impressionable 6 year old watch Doctor Who in the first place.
Now I don't remember much about that first time except that I sat glued wide-eyed to the screen with a cushion on my lap ready to hide behind when things got scary and even then I would peep behind it, unable to resist finding out what was happening. It was heady stuff.
No wonder I became addicted.
From Doctor Who it was a quick leap to a multitude of other Sci-fi shows; some good and some not so good. I watched them all and it's a love affair that has continued to grow.

If you're not a fan, you're probably reading this thinking I'm a complete wacko, which is okay, I'll leave you to watch your shows and I'll indulge in mine.
Personally I'm kind of keen on making my own Stargate out of a toaster (well they did it on the show) and landing on a world where the natives are friendly or even better, in the arms of a sexy space captain. Unfortunately with my luck I'd probably end up with my molecules splattered across the inside of an asteroid instead. Still there are worse ways to go.
In the meantime I'll just have to contend with dreaming about traveling the universe and sexy space captains and re-watching my favourite shows which fortunately Auckland Libraries have got on DVD.
