You Know You're a Trekkie When...

[Triskelion]

- You can't sleep unless you turn on the DVD player and hear the voices of the Voyager crew lulling you into unconsciousness.

- The first name you chose for your child has Tiberius in it.

- You keep looking for a place to live where people really are intelligent, sensitive, positive and responsible; and even though you've yet to find such a place, you keep looking and hoping.

- You wore a uniform for Halloween as a 'joke', but really, you loved it!

 

[Michael]

1 and 3 are true for me. Though I would substitute Voyager for TOS or DS9.

 

[EnsignJulka]

Also when you start dreaming of Star Trek, then it's for real!

 

[Michael]

^ [Benny Russell] It is real! [/Benny Russell]

- When watching something that is not Star Trek; if an actor from one of the series or movies appears, either a regular, a recurring star, or a once-off guest, your first reaction is to note he's from Star Trek. Examples: (while watching Frasier) It's Morgan Bateson! (Sex and the City) It's Valeris! (Veronica's Closet) It's Saavik! (Sarah Silverman Show) It's Rain Robinson! (Becker) Jadzia Dax, you left DS9 for this?

- You have a CD of the Doctor preforming operatic arias, including that one modified to be about hypospraying Vulcans from 'Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy'. Or, if you don't, you really, really want to.

- You cry at the end of TWOK. Every time. Even though you know by heart what happens in TSFS.

- You get offended if anyone makes a racial slur or other implication against a race from the Star Trek universe; like commenting on Vulcan's pointed ears or Klingon's forehead ridges.

- If inebriated, you will sing old Klingon sagas about Kahless and attempt to knock people out with your head.

- If Seven of Nine comes up in casual conversation with non-fans, you will mention how much you enjoyed her character arc in struggling to come to terms with her human identity after decades of Borg enslavement.

The space between your middle and ring fingers is stretched wider than the rest of your fingers.

 

[HoundDog]

- when you quote Trek-episodes/movies on every imaginable occassion.

 

[Balthier the Great]

If have a collection of Star Trek bling that takes up an entire room in your house

If your fire escape plans include a scheme to rescue your Star Trek DVD collection

If you've ever conteplated making your living room look like the Enterprise bridge

If you think that Kahless worship or Suraak's Logic is at least as legitamate as Jediism

If you've ever said an episode of Trek isn't real Trek

If you've ever quoted The BIrd in some Trek Debate

YOU MIGHT BE A TREKKIE.

 

[Danoz]

- When your girlfriend gets you a figurine of Worf dressed in a traditional Klingon battle uniform from a vintage toy store for Christmas, and it's your favorite gift.

- When your TNG collection is on your desk in front of your mirror, and 3rd parties refer to it as your "shrine".

- When you get annoyed at the fact that non-trekkies tend to assume that they can "generalize" about all Star Trek fans.

- When, as a political science major, you find yourself drawing real life issues to the socio-political hypothetical issues in the Trek universe.

- When you start to daydream about a glass of Maker's Mark and a classic TNG, and find yourself scoping Memory-Alpha at the end of work to decide which episode you're going to watch.

- When you create a chatroom website called "Trekirc.com".

- When you find yourself making obscure references to Trek-related issues, even though you're pretty sure nobody is going to understand them-- you're hoping that one person in the crowd may actually know what a "horg'ahn" is.

- When you get excited about your next Star Trek book coming in the mail.

 

[Triskelion]

^horg'ahn....
hee hee. Very important relic.

 

[Mistral]

-Your favorite t-shirt says"We are Microsoft. Resistance is Futile. You will be assimilated."

-You are training future managers and you keep referring to how they will be called on to make "Command Decisions"

-When confronted by a puzzle or problem you ask yourself "How would Mr. Spock handle this?"

-You fork out $1500 of a 6'x4' print of New Borg City complete with fiber-optic lighting to hang in your living room

-Your birthday falls on the same weekend as the big ST convention in Vegas-and this excites you (August 8,9,10!WhooHoo!)

-Your DVR records 3 or more Star Trek series regularly-and you've already watched every episode a dozen times

-you responded to this thread

 

[RandyS]

If you think about, eat, sleep, breath, hiccup, and belch, Star Trek.

On a more serious note: Is there really life outside of Star Trek? If there is, I want no part of it.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

You know you're a Trekkie, when you buy all Trek sets. And watch all shows from consequence from "Broken Bow" to Nemesis.

 

[Furlong]

* Upon hearing the words Star Wars, your blood pressure spikes into the 4 digit range.

* You develop a twitch when someone mixes up Dr. Spock and Mr. Spock

* You have a hatred for Mike Wong and others on SD.net that surpasses most other forms of hatred

* Your pets are named after characters from the shows and books

* You own a real bat'leth

 

[TrekNut87]

When you have all 10 movies committed to memory and can recite random quotes from all 5 series at any given moment.

 

[RandyS]

You know you're a Trekkie, when you buy all Trek sets. And watch all shows from consequence from "Broken Bow" to Nemesis.
