Ok, back on topic.

 

You're a hard-core Trekkie if ...

 

...you shave your head bald and say "engage" when you pull out of the driveway.

....You browse your star trek forum on your computer while having a star trek episode playing in a different window behind your browser, listening to the audio but not needing to watch because you've seen that one enough times.

 

 

Man this is hilarious. I do all this stuff. I've sent email from my character email address by accident before. I totally drive a shuttle craft. The dashboard in my girlfriend's car on the passenger side is shaped JUST like a console, it's great. I also struggle with my devotion to Stargate. So I think it's pretty clear that we're all die hard trekkies.

You unintentionally use Trek words, especially those of an alien Trek language, during your normal every-day conversations and it takes you a minute to realize why people are looking at you strangely.

 

 

Have I done this before? ... Ie.

Worse, I wrote "ie" for yes on a report I wrote for a political science class. It had a note on it labeled: "Ie?" in bright red pen. You should have saw me explaining that one...

Yes! I haven't done these specific things (NDak, the Ie thing is hysterical. And Laeh, myself and a fellow fan have Trek/Sci Fi laden conversations at work and people do look at us funny. We just had a Soylent Green thing this past Friday :-P), but I did sign an official work email with my real name and the >^..^< cat thing.

 

I will admit though, sneaking on and lurking on the boards during work hours is one thing (and I'm not advocating it), but I do not work on story logs in work, either using Word or via email; too much of a risk.

You name your pet(s) after your character's pet(s). Or worse, if you buy said pet because your character had said pet.

Hehe, I do that sort of thing all the time. Once after winning a game I said "Q'apla!" and they all were staring at me, of course I was completely oblivious so they had to say "What the heck does that mean?"

 

back on track: If you have anything to do with this topic.

1. You get a LCAR screensaver and pretend to be controlling it

2. You know what LCAR means

3. You find yourself beginning to talk like Data after some hardcore TNG viewing

4. You tug at your shirt after saying something decisive

5. You say "make it so" when you ask someone to do something

6. You list 7 reasons someone is a hard core trekkie

7. If every single one applies to you

...if you pick your friends by asking them which star trek series they like the most.

My personal favorite is Worf, although Wesley is TAC officer in parallel universe, what's up with that?

Me too. First I start blinking strangely, then I begin nodding my head all the time, and then talking in that steady voice. Its so hard to stop!

 

...if you find yourself standing outside your house waiting to be transported to work.

I've stopped even using the audio, now I just replay the episodes in my mind. Do you think I've reached the point between trekkie and insane?

Thats a good strategy. If someone doesn't want to buy a product you can start screaming: "Resistance is futile! Your money will be assimilated!" then you should do a little Borg dance and pretend to have a biological eye.
