Ready to go
ell, 20:25h
To fully understand what is coming now, you should know that I'm not usually one of those girls who dress up every day, except for special occasions. Usually I wear jeans, some top and a jacket when it's cold and that's it. When my hair was still longer, I had mostly two options: open or a ponytail. Dresses and Skirts I wear only in summer and then usually plain, sporty ones and only such which are not much shorter than knee length. I don't even have make-up, although I'm thinking about buying a lipstick (mainly because my lips are pretty dry) and some eyeshadow if I should ever come into a situation where I'd actually have to use it.
Now yesterday Liz and I had the idea to go to school in the franchise-stuff we had bought on a convention last year, in honor of Leonard Nimoy. In my case that's a UFD-Pin, a pair of Starfleet-earings and a Scotty-T-Shirt, but I thought the last one to be a bit inappropriate, especially considering the weather outside.
The first problem I had was finding something I could pin the pin on, because it didn't look that well with my usual sweatshirts. I finally decided to go with a blueish-grea blouse-jacket and a black shirt underneath, together with a black jeans and my black chucks. The second problem was with the earings. They are kind of long-ish compared to the small pins I usually wear and I hadn't worn them ever since I had my hair cut to first season Sam Carter style. The problem is that whith long hair you can always dress your hair up in a way that makes it work with your earrings, but with short hair that doesn't work so well anymore. So I put in about twice as much hair-gel than I usually use to make at least my back hairs stand up a little. I have to say that worked quite well, but I also needed half an hour for that opposed to the fifteen minutes I usually need, and it surely would have taken me longer had I not overslept.
Of course no one took much notice of it at school, appart from my neighbour who, a little disbelieving, said: "You're wearing earrings?"
But no one recognizes franchise anymore anyway.
Later on I went grocery shopping and stopped by at the wormhole again, staying an hour longer than I had actually planed. My original hope was to find some Star Trek Comics, but after I had looked through tons of US-Shipping and I had only found some small Stargate addition, I kind of gave up on it, when there it was:
It was a book, actually, a novel, and a German one, but it just lay there as if it was waiting for me. It's called "The Probe" (authors are soooo creative at times when it comes to titles) and is basically about the probe from Voyage Home returning, as far as the text on the back goes. What actually moved me to buy it was that Spock was staring right at me from the cover, wearing that great maroon-jacket-uniform. And after all I had made that journey to the wormhole just for him. I think the guy there suspected something just the like, because on my way out he commented: "Nice earrings."
For tonight the plan is watching Insurection, after all it's Gates McFaddens birthday. After that I'll go through the whole of the Original Series again, in honour of all those people whose birthdays are or would be coming up this month. (Just so you know, that would be James Doohan, Wiliam Shatner and Leonard Nimoy - it must be mad to die exatly a month before ones birthday...)
