The scariest thing is the fact that in every picture, he’s not smiling. He’s serious. He takes this stuff **seriously**! On his [website](http://www.24thcid.com/Default.asp?xa=1), the front page says “Let fiction become reality.” I’m surprised he dropped the facade long enough to admit that it’s fiction. ---

you’re too kind. Captain’s Log: Incidental. The people here seem friendly. I have been studying their customs and have been accepted as one of their own. I still feel uneasy however - who is the mythical Cecil? And why are they so protective of him? ---

Heh. What’s sad, is that is actually fairly tasteful compared to some homes I know of… but uggg! If I **ever** try to do something along those lines to my place (no matter what the theme), would somebody pleeeeease tie me to a chair with licorace whips until I regain sanity? * * * \<\< A night is a like a day without sunshine. \>\> ---

Actually i’m more of a computer geek - do i still get the pass? - the trek geek thing just seems to be something that comes with it: **True Story** _Company Christmas Party “Pub Quiz” 2002_ _QuizMaster:_ Okay, films now. In which Star Trek film did Spock Die? And i’ll give 5 bonus points to anyone who can name the song that Scotty played at his funeral. _Divisional Team looks at **Garius** _ _Garius_: Why’s everyone looking at me??? Oh right - i work with computers, therefore i **must** watch Star Trek. Cheers guys - don’t stereotype me or anything. Okay fine - its Star Trek 2 - hope you all feel validated now. _Divisional Boss_: And the second part? _Garius_: Oh come on! give me some credit - you think i’m that anal?? _All_: Yes! _Garius_: amazing grace ---
