Throwback Thursday: 2003

Throwback Thursday: 2003 I met my husband on stage, but I fell in love with him online. He had me at  " James Dean ... smelling of whiskey and coke  and some breakfast sausage ." AOL AIM INSTANT MESSENGER

"...see because cloaking was a Romulan technology..."

"...see because cloaking was a Romulan technology..." Telling Joe about the online discussion I'm in, started by a dude who finds parallel between Star Trek TNG and Harry Potter. Mostly based on the Starfleet uniform colors and Hogwarts houses, the fun ideas being raised are, for example, that the Hogwarts green (Slytherin) aligns with the Romulans.
