Ever since I was a young girl (I played the silver ball!)
Ha ha. Oh, I am a caution.
Seriously. Ever since I can remember, I've loved science fiction. Books, movies, whatever. If it smacked of technology and THE FUTURE, I was probably all for it. Robots I loved especially.

And then, when I was around eight, I saw both
The Terminator and
Terminator 2 for the first time. And I was sore afraid. Not that I'd never been introduced to the idea of machines turning on their owners (that's a big part of the backstory of
Dune, and
Dune was, is, and probably always will be a big part of
my life), but this...they were stopping at NOTHING to destroy this one guy BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN! Also, I learned that time is really a mess (long before I got so fully immersed in the world of Dr. Who), Arnold Schwarzenegger is more than just a buzzard-biting barbarian, and that sometimes, the best friend you send back from the future to save your mom so that you can be born really turns out to be your dad. Talk about confusion!
