Watched Star Trek, collected Star Trek action figures, went to Star Trek conventions, performed Star Trek cosplay, fantasized about being in Star Trek, engaged in masturbatorial activities while fantasizing about Nichelle Nichols, wrote Star Trek fanfiction, wrote gushing letters to former Star Trek actors, engaged in Star Trek debates over the superior captain, and grew mushrooms in their basements.
