To be or not to be a nerd
ell, 22:02h
When speaking to friends I really have to watch my wording by now, because most don't tend to understand me, when I start speaking of my Admiral, shuttles, decks or redshirts. And sometimes I can feel the weird looks others give me, when I sit around laughing about my book. But I think it's worth it.
No one else thinks about being followed by MiB when spotting a black car behind them that stays there for more than one motorway-exit. And lasertag get's so much better when thinking about it as Redshirts vs Borg.
And then of course there was this hillarious day, the first of April, when after a stormy night I was woken by the sun shining into my room (as much as the sun can shine through a westward window in the morning) and my first thought was "Sulu, look, the sun's come out!", after which I ventured into the kitchen to have a breakfast of bread with cold meat to the sounds of "Spring" from Vivaldis Four Seasons.
And surely not many can grasp the full impact of my finding those two awsome hair products called "Style Warp" and "Transformer", or why my WiFi-Hotspot is called "USS Relient" and has the Passkey 16309 (while my PCs are USS Enterprise and USS Hood, the latter because it has the NCC 1703 - which happens to be my birthday).
Honestly, life is so much more fun being a nerd.

Maybe this time.
I have to ask:
Is the headline a reference to my poem?

Actually...
it's a reference to Shakespear and the reference thereof in Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country.
What poem?

Great minds think alike
Yet another proof that we are the same person :) I once referenced that, too.
