The Geek We Call Trekkie
Oh the agony of archaeology readings! Perhaps the professor, respectively fresh out of graduate school, does not understand the impossibility of the hundreds of pages of dense, incomprehensible, partially not in english readings he is assigning each week! I probably spend as much time on them as on all of my other courses combined! Thing is, we have to rely on the readings because he tries to cram too much into a class and ends up not giving us enough time to copy down the slides (nevermind hear what he's talking about at the same time!)
*sigh*
*struggle*
Last night I took Sacha along to the Unicef worker appreciation party: by the time we got there almost everyone was gone.. but the pizza remained! It was nice to chat with some of the head office people again though, they're all pretty cool. I asked if I'd have to go through the whole interview process again next year or if I had my foot in the door and they said not to worry, my foot is in the door. Yay! But that they'd have to "interview" me again just for the pretense of being fair to all of the other people who apply (apparently I was actually chosen out of a LOT of candidates, and I usually suck at interviews! Go me!) But yeah, I saved their asses a couple of times so they'd better want me back next year! For now I will enjoy the blessed sleeping in.
Forgetting is key. Can't miss what you can't remember.
I love Star Trek: The Next Generation. Love. Luff. It's like a security blanket. I remember watching faithfully as far back as grade 7, when I was putting the inserts in newspapers for my paper route, gasping and exclaiming at the appropriate times. And now, I'm hard pressed to find a better feeling than that of snuggling into the warmth of my blankets and closing my eyes as the comfortable and welcoming familiarity of those voices washes over me. God, I love it. God, I'm a geek. :)
Q: I have no powers... What must I do to convince you people??
Worf: DIE.
Q: Very clever Klingon, eat any good books lately?

Yeah.. I was never invited to one when I was a volunteer.. I didn't think Markham had one! The one I went to was only for the downtown locations.. they should have one GIANT one.. and then we could hang out.. and it'd be awesome (ps. yes boring, hence why I brought a friend!)
And yes. Star trek is the shit! I should host a marathon one day with all the trekkies I can find.
