This place is awesome

Hi there! It has been a while since I have introduced myself in any forum, so I'm not sure what exactly to say.

After intense lockdowns during the pandemic, I was never able to return to normal like my peers. The contrast between us became undeniable. The social rules I had drilled into myself from a young age were gone, and I didn't have the desire or energy to gain them back. I sought help and am now diagnosed with autism and am still just beginning to understand what this means for me. The discussions in this forum are some of the best around, and I hope to find community here.

Oh, and on a fun note: I love Star Trek, sci fi, and reading about technology.

To add a random fact about my username: It is the name of a Star Trek fanzine. You can download all of them here for free from Texas A&M if you are into that kind of thing. Some of it is hilariously raunchy and does make me a bit uncomfortable, but it is mostly awesome.

Welcome... The town of Vulcan (a small Alberta town) is close to me, I'm not much of a Trekkie but have been to Vulcan a few times for some Star Trek stuff... The town of Vulcan existed long before the Star Trek series, and has embraced the resemblance...

Haha, thanks for sharing! I had no idea! It's hilarious that it predated Star Trek too.

Hello -

This is LITERALLY my favorite William Shatner spoken word. I once had the opportunity to meet Shatner, and I asked him to sign my poster with "Rock it man." He refused lol. Wow, this place is really awesome. The vast majority of people have never understood my love of that video.

Haha it's awesome that you and Spock both like black cats. Thank you for welcoming me! I am on the younger side in my late 20s, but TOS is by far my favorite Star Trek and Spock will always be my favorite character.
