It's probably the next day for many of you. Well, better late than never.

On September 8, 1966, the first episode of Star Trek aired. This is a big deal for me because I am a new fan of the show and somewhat emotionally fragile. I assume some of you get excited about this too?

This anniversary also provides me a convenient excuse to post about a Star Trek cosplay skit/party I participated in a couple weeks ago. My friend was leaving the country, and all our friends wanted to have a going-away party for her. She and I had watched the first two seasons of Star Trek together and somehow wound up really shipping Kirk and Spock (I can explain why at length. Don't get me started), so we decided to stage a wedding for them. I played Spock; she played Kirk. It was hilarious. I want to post photos, but I have to wait to hear back from everyone and make sure they're okay with having photos of themselves waltzing in cosplay floating around the Internet (this post is really mostly a placeholder). If you guys are interested, I can also post a copy of the wedding vows I wrote, which are basically just me making fun of Kirk, Spock, and Star Trek in general.
