Ah yes, I love how it took all of only a few bars of music and I knew someone was watching Star Trek. I do claim Trekkie status, while John loves Star Wars more, but somehow we manage to make it work and love each other’s ‘verses as well as our own. I’m so excited for the new Star Wars MMO that will be coming out next year, and I’ve been bringing John through the wonderful world of old Star Trek movies. We started at the beginning and our ready for Star Trek IV next, the one about the whales.

Yes, some dorks can be saved, and I probably will always pioneer that when I can. But then there are the Bens of the world.

I’ll have to send you the entire Geek poster that goes with that picture. It lists many more types of geeks, and I think it is best to be more than one. Keeps life interesting.

Do you need more info on NextGen Inky stuff besides what was in the first part? If your fic happens during that five month span then you know everything. Ula was at the Roadhouse for some time but is back with her family for now, though she intends to return for good once she takes care of a few things, and will be making an appearance in the Progeny arc. She also can’t seem to get rid of the Trickster.

Ah, Nemesis. The geekiest thing about the whole evening was the way we came pouring out into the pod when we heard the theme music. I think even poor trekker D was a little weirded out by our unexpected enthusiasm. And I’m pretty sure we talked A into going to the midnight showing of Spiderman III- which shows that with constant social interaction, nerds can be corrupted to the geek side.

I think also that dorks can be rehabilitated, if they wish to be, are given the opportunity, and have not strayed to far into the dork side. Intervention must come swiftly, and sometimes painfully, and unfortunately for those kind souls who intervene, such interventions can backfire as you so painfully documented.

Geekiness, while I agree it has an inherent tendency to be able to finish the line “that’s no moon, its a…” or “to boldly go where…” (although the later can reveal quite about their loyalties within that particular geekdom) I’ve also run into fibre arts geeks, vintage clothing geeks, you name it. Enthusiastic, socially shared knowledge because early 20th century science fiction novels, or what have you, our just inherently cool, well, geeks. They’re enthusiastic.

I am, aside from geekiness on general principles, a fibre geek, a star wars geek, a HP geek, a LotR geek, well… as with all true geeks, I spread my enthusiasm through many subjects. But I will always remember that, back in college, our gang was something approaching the cool kids (at least of the Asian Studies department) because we were geeky, enthusiastic, and didn’t give a nickel for anyone who wasn’t prepared to be friendly, or would stare in incomprehension at the thought of an Interview with a Vampire, Death Note, or Nadesco showing being something worth planning for, let alone watching.

No clue what point I was about to make after this… Oh yes, it is now official that there will be Dr. Horrible II, and rumor has it Fillion’s in. Oh, and can you give me Nextgen Inky overviews? The bones fic requires some knowledge. Brief overview… the body of hit and run victim Ula Kerrigan is unearthed in a National Park, which is a bit odd as she’s been sending in tax returns from her family’s motel for the past several years.
