For one, I started writing this on my Palm Pilot while I am on break during a penny social.
I also get paid to do techie/geek things (I'm a tech support desk agent).
And I wore a Star Trek uniform last night. A red 1st season Next Generation jumpsuit uniform. Which had been sitting in my mom's house for over 10 years.
What is geekier is that I know the differance between the seasons.
I couldn't find my communicator (yes, I did have one), so I used my id pin for the ball as a communicator.
My fiancé is a musician who plays a number of instruments and in a number of groups and styles. Last night, one of his groups played at an annual English Country dance ball. The ball had a space theme.
I used to be a Trekkie. I went to cons and wore Vulcan ears (actually Romulan for me, because that was my "character"). Actually, I still go to cons, but they are gaming and anime/general sci-fi cons.
The costume wasn't mine originally. A friend gave it to my brother and it sat in my parents house until I called home a couple of weeks ago.
It needed to be cleaned and I had a hell of a time of altering it (it was way too long for me). The alteration was a rush job, and not the prettiest, but it was good enough to impress most of people- although a few of them didn't know Star Trek from Stars Wars (my fiancé was dressed as Luke).
And I took pictures. In fact, I always did wonder what people wore under the uniform...
That isn't the only thing I had on during the day. I had my "What would Kaylee wear if she had access to my closet?" outfit on. 10 points for those who get the reference.

I enjoyed your "fleshing out" of your background as a Trekkie! Must have missed the episode where the unies got unzipped!
Sorry, I have to leave the 10 points on the table, 'cuz I didn't get the Kaylee reference. But I like the top on you. Do I get 5 points for that?
Cherrie- I guess so. :) Ever hear of a movie called "Serenity" or a TV show called "Firefly"?
So that's what they wear under those uniforms :) Very nicely done.
Shon- Well.... I figured they had to wear something because just spandex can be... hot and sticky after a while. and uncomfortable. and not everyone is a sub/switch!
I've heard of "Serenity," but the only image that comes to mind is the adult actress of 5-10 years ago.
She was a cute one, though!
Mandy- I keep getting told that I can't be more than in my early to mid 20s... I'm 31. So, this is a good thing. The day I stop getting carded is the day I might start worrying. :)
And, well, I still have parts of a Bene Gesserit costume I made. And I need to make more Kaylee costumes, especially the dress from "Shindig".
