I think I somewhat established that throughout the nearly 5 years of my previous blog. However, I don&#8217;t think I really hit that truth home Babe Ruth style. So, here I am, pointing to left field and winding up for the grand slam. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a <strong>GEEK<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve been a Trekkie for more than half my life. I&#8217;ve attended <em>Star Trek<\/em> conventions (notice the &#8220;s&#8221; that indicates multiple trips to said geek gatherings). My fan fiction has been published and sold at said conventions (I can pretty much stop this right now, can&#8217;t I?). I know that IDIC, PADD, and VISOR are all acronyms (and I know their corresponding definitions). I have almost the entire crew of the NCC-1701-E on my desk at work (in action figure form, of course). I also have <em>Battlestar Galactica<\/em> wallpaper on my work computer desktop. My mirror universe self is an even bigger geek (perhaps I&#8217;ll say more on that later; I&#8217;m still determining if the blog herd has been sufficiently culled of creepier readers [if you&#8217;re still out there and reading this, you <em>know <\/em>who you are, and the sooner you admit it to yourself, the sooner the treatments can begin]). <\/p>\n<p>All that being said, no, I don&#8217;t live in my parents&#8217; basement.

Yes, I have IRL relationships. No, I&#8217;m not defining IRL for you.

The image to the right. I stumbled across it during one of my Internet perambulations. I own this shirt. I used to wear it out in public. I was snickered at by a troop of Boy Scouts while wearing it in a hotel that was hosting a Trek convention (because their little gold ascots made them so much cooler than us Trek geeks). I love this shirt. It&#8217;s now stored away with many of my other geek chic shirts (think the T-Shirt rack at your mall&#8217;s local Suncoast and you pretty much have an idea of my high school\/college wardrobe). I should dig it out and snap a shot of me wearing it again, just for gits and shiggles. <\/p>\n<p>Oh, and because I know you&#8217;re dying to know what all the excuses are, here you go: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Troi senses danger.<\/li>\n<li>Trying to avoid Lwaxana Troi.<\/li>\n<li>Q&#8217;s visiting again.<\/li>\n<li>Playing Poker with Commander Riker.<\/li>\n<li>Helping Geordi in Engineering.<\/li>\n<li>Romulans crossed the Neutral Zone.<\/li>\n<li>My communicator&#8217;s not working.<\/li>\n<li>Attending Worf&#8217;s Klingon Rite of Passage.<\/li>\n<li>Conference in the Captain&#8217;s lounge.<\/li>\n<li>Solving crimes with Dixon Hill.<\/li>\n<li>Helping Wes with an experiment.<\/li>\n<li>Can&#8217;t violate the Prime Directive.<\/li>\n<li>Playing Strategema.<\/li>\n<li>Fencing with Picard.<\/li>\n<li>Vacationing on Pacifica.<\/li>\n<li>Trapped on the Holodeck.<\/li>\n<li>Having tea with the Captain.<\/li>\n<li>Explaining a joke to Data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Damn, it feels good to be a geekster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a big geek.
