Just a few thoughts on the Star Trek

A few years ago I went to the Star Trek exhibition in Pheonix. I went mostly because we were there visiting my uncles and I knew it was something my father and his brothers could do. They don't spend lot of time together and I actually think they have become more aquaintences than siblings over the years.

But Star Trek was something they grew up with. Something they shared a love for in their early years, something even my youngest uncle who is over ten years younger than my dad can share with his big brothers and bring them together.

I, of course, being the over observant daughter and niece I am found out about this exhibition and suggested that we all go. Some of my younger female cousins stuck their noses up at it, including my sister. 

They went to see the Hannha Montanna movie so I got the better end of the deal. (Though I will admit I didn't HATE the Hannah Montana movie- I watched it with my roommate Bre on one of our particularly weirder nights)

It was at this exhibition when I realized how much knowledge I have gathered over the years about Star Trek. This is stuff that is like sensory triggered or something because I couldn't show you just how obscure my knowledge goes right now but if you put me in the costume hall again I could tell you who wore what in what episode and why that stitching pattern had significance to the character's growth at the time. (Okay over exaggerating a TINGE but you get the idea)

After that trip I decided I was officially a Trekkie. I accepted it with all the vigor and attention this self proclamation deserves. I had also willingly added myself to a group of people who are frequently mocked and looked down upon by other fandoms.

But I would totally rather go to Starfleet Academy then the Jedi Academy. So LIVE LONG AND PROSPER JERKS!
