1. Well, I work in aviation...

flight simulation, to be exact.

2. My husband and I are now Benign Elders

in the religious faith of Trekkism.

3. I'm an academician, not an astronaut, dammit!

4. I used to pretend I was Nurse Chapel

in second or third grade. I did not grow up, however, to be a pretend nurse of the opposite sex so I guess it didn't affect me.

5. I decided to be an archaeologist instead of a starship Captain.

A reverse Picard, if you will. I might still pursue it, if I can get an appointment to Starfleet Academy.

I know you used to make fun of Trek followers... glad to see you no longer deny the impact the show had on many people....

How did it impact me? It made me take a broader view of the world. It opened my eyes to the fact that we all need to work together to achieve happiness and success. That hate was not productive. That different people are not to be feared, rather that differences are to be celebrated and learned from.

Also, it gives hope that maybe we can save this planet from destruction. That we have to, because otherwise.....

7. I became a plasterer after watching The Devil in the Dark.
