I met Carolyn on the first day of Eng110. We discovered we had many things in common. We both play clarinet. And we both love Star Trek TNG. We're taking summer school together. We often have extended nerdy music and Star Trek discussions.
Tonight in class during our break we were doing just this, towards the end talking about Cmmdr. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and the authenticity of his trombone playing in various episodes. The guy sitting next to us was visibly listening in. As we were finishing, he jumped in: "I must say.. I am SHOCKED... I'd heard that female trekkies existed.. but I've never actually met any before!!!!!"
He just seemed so impressed and incredulous.
We got a good laugh out of it.
Being a nerd rocks.
Speaking of which:
There's something extremely satisfying about driving home listening to the rich, ominous chords of "Of Sailors and Whales" (a piece of band music you've probably never heard of- unless you went to MDHS- based upon scenes from Melville's Moby Dick) while spectacular lightening crashes above in the clear, dry, night sky.
*shiver*
Had to be there, I guess.

And as I may add as a side note, we're pretty sure the star trek guy was so floored by the female trekkies that he probably left class early b/c his fantasies overcame him.
Who could resist two redheads w/ a vast knowledge of TNG?? WHO!?! :p
