You Know You're a Trekkie When...

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

You know you're a Trekkie when you surf onto your Trek related message boards (including this one) when you're at work and really should be... you know, working!

Uh, KTR, are you looking over my shoulder or something? I'm working, I'm working!

Heh! I'm not the only one it seems!

Anyway, I'm home now...

winamp.com?

http://dantestyle.se/?

Yeah, thats it. And its called "Death Note -L"

Where's my cookie?!?!?!


...When you've set you LAN domain name to "SweetTPol"

lol, shutup Dark. It's not called "Death Note -L"

It's from a SHOW! Called Death Note! Or Desu Notto! And the character is L! or Ryuuzaki! Or Ryuki! He has like 3 names and none of them are his real name... you never learn his real name. Cuz that's how he rolls.

But yes I got the skin off that dantestyle.se thing. I just googled "Death Note" "winamp" "skin" hehehe.

You actually have a network called SweetTPol?

I alternate backgrounds every few weeks... Last time was Aeon Flux, now it's Boomer

I have an Ivymae desktop pic! Love it when non-Trek people go "Oh, how cute! Where's it from?"

I wanna play:

You know you're a Trekkie when:

You tell your boss you can't come to work because you have a convention to attend
You can say goodbye in multiple alien languages but can't remember your best friend's phone number
You're reading "Emily of New Moon" (LM Montgomery), see the constant references to Emily's pointed ears, and think... hmm, maybe Vulcans were on Earth a lot earlier than anyone realized...

You know you're an Enterprise Trekkie when:
You see blue underwear in the store and think of Starfleet regulation undies
You can explain to other people where the nickname "Trip" comes from
Where's crewman Daniels when you need him? If T'Pol won't appreciate Trip... well, time travel would have its advantages
Can you say interesting pickup line? "Having trouble sleeping? I'm an expert in Vulcan Neuropressure ."

When you wish you had one of those superfast computers that downloads musicvideos and video interviews in seconds instead of waiting forever for them to download.

When you spend too much time looking for a pattern for Vulcan robes.

Dude. Wallpaper.

[dark_rain]

Yeah yeah, I know. I just haven't got round to it recently. It used to be a photo of a cloud, but I moved the file onto a different drive so the symlink broke, and it's really to hard to right click on my desktop and set it back. (Yes, I'm lazy) One day I'll get a nice new ENT one or somesuch, one day.

Evcake, I modified a Mongolian costume I bought, into a Vulcan robe. I'm redoing the Vulcan lettering I did for it last year. I hope to wear it to the Chicago convention this fall.

You know you are a Trekkie when...you have been to three hair dressers to try to get a black wig cut Vulcan style, because none of them want to work with plastic hair, only real hair.

[Reanok]

When you're looking for new StarTrek t-shirts from the conventions I recently got the Creation convention shirt that has Trip & Malcom and my other favorite ds9 chracters on it.And another one with Sisko & Bashir and others on it.

You don't have a picture of it, by any chance?

[Linda]

I hope this works? I am not satisfied with the Vulcan lettering. It needs to be larger and not to fray so badly!

[evcake]

Nice, and thanks!
Re the lettering, I notice on ebay that the original costume shop seems to have used resin. Maybe this could be approximated in FIMO. There's an example over on ebay right now. It's under "T'Pel Costume"
The diagonal closing is obviously very big with Vulcans.

I say to my friend, in the presence of our kids, "When I was at the Star Trek conference, . . . " and everyone in the room bursts out laughing. I go, "What?"

She explains, "You're the only one I know who could say that with a straight face."

Everyone agrees.

Oh, dear . . .
