    Embracing my nerd

    First time I've taken leave in more than a year and it coincides with a Star Trek Convention in Nashville. Got to meet and hang out a bit with Dominic Keating, Garrett Wang, Walter Koenig, Suzie Plakston, Nana Visitor, Tim Russ, Chase Masterson, Armin Shimerman, and Terry Ferrell. In addition, I managed to piece together a quick costume so I could dress as a Starfleet Lieutenant Commander in the Command division (TNG-era red uniform). Impromptu pics below; I had professional photos taken with most of the stars, but haven't scanned them to my hard drive yet.

    I have no words.........
    Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

    Who cares?

    This isn't High School.

    Slightly related, although I am not a member, I had a soldier who invited me to his full on SCA Wedding. Without a doubt, the most fun wedding I have ever attended!

    My hats off to anyone who is this passionate about things. It certainly is no worse than painting yourself green and wearing a foam cheese hat in 20 degree weather.

    This. All the best parties of my life occurred with a bunch of modern-day 'druids' I met in college. I may not subscribe to their belief system, but they sure knew how to throw a motherkittening party. I'm talking naked-in-the-backyard-jumping-over-bonfires-drinking-single-malt-and-waving-at-the-Mesa-PD-helicopter parties. And that was just for their engagement!

    I must admit that I admire Shatner's ability/willingness to make fun of himself.

    If you could fight any celebrity, who would you fight?

    Shatner, I'd fight William Shatner.

    You can get your nerd on, here.

    I mean, heck, I just posted the following on Facebook:
    A corpse is a corpse, of course, of course
    And no one can talk to a corpse, of course
    But I can talk to a corpse, of course
    'Cause I've got Speak With The Dead!
    Books. Bikes. Boomsticks.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.
