    Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don’t give a shit about Star Trek. I’ve seen a lot of it, just because I’ve had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn’t have watched any after my childhood.
    Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I’d probably get into it.






  • Oh man… Definitely stopping myself from fidgeting, forcing eye contact, reducing the intensity of excitement/emotions, trying not to interrupt, and scripting… well, whole conversations, really. I actually never knew, until now, the reducing the intensity of excitement and emotional response was a common coping mechanism. That one has definitely caused some issues in my relationships.
    For a long time, one of my biggest was keeping silent during conversations, but I’ve learned (with much help and patience from my wife!) to come out of my shell and speak up more.
