Confessions of a Trekkie

I am a self-proclaimed Trekkie. Some of us may prefer Trekker, but I am a Trekkie. As a child I wanted nothing more than to be just like Captain Kirk. He was cool and he solved his problems with a certain amount of phaser-firing, but he still kept his cool. He also was able to peacefully mediate some of his problems. I remember as a child watching Star Trek with my mom. She was a Trekkie way before I was. But now I am a Trekkie. I saw the new film, and enjoyed it. I bought a Kirk action figure because he, although he is fictional, is one of my heroes. I imagined myself, as a child, wearing that yellow uniform shirt and sitting in his chair. Maybe one day we will be able to do that. I know what ship name I would pick. Hands down. The USS Enterprise NCC-1701.  Until that day comes, I will remain a Trekkie. Live Long and Prosper
