My fannish history UNCOVERED

sidI was digging through some 3-ring binders of my father's the other day, emptying and recycling the contents, when suddenly I came across one that had my name written in it, and the name of my junior high school. Based on the handwriting, I took myself to have been in the 7th grade.
I closed it up and was turning it over in my hands, musing, and I suddenly realized there was WRITING on it. Very, very faint ancient writing on the back cover!
The first words I made out (the biggest) were I LOVE UNCLE. Oh, yes, I started loving The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in grade school, so no surprise that I was expressing that love.
And then I made out the smaller letters written above that: I Love Star Trek. The September I started 7th grade was the September Star Trek premiered.
Now I had the clue to help me decipher the smallest writing, scattered all over the back cover: Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, DeForest Kelley, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy... and the one I couldn't read had to be Doctor McCoy.
I turned the binder over and took a closer look at the front cover.
A list of TV show titles, each with some sort of comment beside it. After further study, I have managed to decipher the list in its entirety:
Voyage, Bleep (The opening credits to Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea began with submarine-y type bleeps)
FBI, da duh da duhhhhh (The F.B.I. theme music)
Saint, stick figure with halo
Rat Patrol, swastika (WHAT a relief this was, to figure out why I had drawn a swastika on my junior high school binder!)
Felony Squad, Briggs (Had to Google Felony Squad to determine that, yes, the cute guy was named Jim Briggs)
Fugitive, Jughead ("Jughead" was the nickname my brother and I had for Lt. Gerard, lol)
I Spy, Wow man
Star Trek, Way out
T.H.E. Cat, Purrrrfect
Avengers, cool
Mission: Impossible, neato

What can I say? *shrugs and looks adorable*
