Well in actively partisipating in various conversations in the forums I have neglected this particular thread.

I will decloak

I have been a forum member since June or July of 2003 (on the Terran calander) and had loyally checked the site aproximately every other week during The Crash.

I also grew up watching TNG.  I've been watching it since 1991, when I was 8.  I have always been a fan of the Klingons, starting with Worf.  When the local stations started showing TOS reruns I watched them loyally.  Currently I have all but 4 disks of TOS, all TNG disks, all collecters edition movie disks and the other movie disks, and all DS9 disks.

My largest collection of books is the Trek books with Klingon story lines.  I've not read all that I have and I have far from all the books.  But, I found a used book store in my area that has a large collection of Trek books.  Largely the books that came out between TOS and TMP and during the "movie era".

I am attempting to learn tlhIngan Hol but it is slow going since I must do it on my own.  I do not have enough time or money now to join KLI and I know of no other Klinfolk in my area.

I am also starting to make a uniform but that is also slow going since I have hardly any time to work on it.

Outside my Trek persona:

I live in South Eastern Wisconsin

I enjoy (aside from Trek) Highlander, the original Outer Limits, the original Twilight Zone, WWII movies (The Longest Day, Pearl Harbor [although it is a 'Chick Flick' more than a war film], Thin Red Line, ect)

I listen to any music;  My favorite styles are Big Band and other popular music from the 30's and 40's; also Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Bing Crosby, ect.  Classical, Country including music from the 50's; also  Jonny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., (major spectrum shift) John Denver.  ANd anything but "gansta rap" (although I do ocassionally find good songs that are rap.



I am working on my black belt in the martial arts form of Jukado

and I think that's it.

Such loyalty is highly valued. When the previous Forums' database was lost, so was all of our contact information... It is good to have you back.

Ah! An enthusiastic reader! }}:-D Used bookstores are truly a beautiful thing...

The time roughly delineated by TMP and TUC was known as "the golden age of Trek Lit". I hope you do not limit yourself to Klingon material -- there was some excellent general Trek written during that period. (Recommendations available upon request.)

I enjoy...***...WWII movies (The Longest Day, Pearl Harbor [although it is a 'Chick Flick' more than a war film], Thin Red Line, ect)

::blinks:: You think women are not involved in or affected by war?

Regardless, I would recommend adding "The Great Escape" to your list if you have not already seen it. Though overly sanitized, it is full of memorable characters and fine performances.

You think women are not involved in or affected by war?

Thats not what I meant by any means.

I simply meant that compared to other films about war, Thin Red Line:Wind Talkers: and others, Pearl Harbor focuses more on the personal "battles" of the people stationed on Pearl.   I think it is a great movie for doing that because of the fact that most films ignore the emotional aspect of war.  I put that statement about Pearl Harbor being a chick flick because I was listing it under war films and I could think of no way to, in a couple words, acknowledge the difference between Pearl Harbor and most other war films.  It was not meant as derogatory toward the involvement of women in war.

Used bookstores are truly a beutiful thing...

They definitely are.
