I wouldn’t be at all suprised if we crossed paths back in the day. Some time in the 90s (can’t remember when) I went to a Creation con at Dearborn and gave blood at a Klingon-sponsored blood drive. And I know I attended another con years later when Marina Sirtis was there, but I can’t remember if Michael Dorn was at that one.

Was Bill Shatner the GOH? And I think Armin Shimermin was at the one as well, not sure. Anyways, I couldn’t give blood, but my-then-fiance did - we even were on the TV news in the background for a few seconds!

I was at one of the cons when he was there, but I think it was after the 90s. I can’t quite remember, I went to quite a few of the Dearborn events. Some of them were when I was a member of the local Trek fan club U.S.S. Intrepid, and we volunteered with them. I wound up working security at a couple of them, which was fun… except for the year the air conditioning broke. I got heatsick that time.
Awesome!

No doubt we did cross paths, just didn’t know it - and why would we, LOL?
Oh, I was Kira Dretzai-Brok, btw.

Ah, reminds me of the time I rode Texas to California on my bicycle, and stopped for a Coke somewhere before Marfa. I thought I was keeping a sharp eye on the sugar bees, but one managed to get into the can. If I hadn’t felt it on my tongue, I likely would have swallowed it.

Sounds like a good story.

Once I got a ladybug down my shirt.
That was bad.

Once, as a 14-year-old, sitting at the table eating breakfast with my 12-year-old brother, I looked down to see the entire bottom hem of my nightgown covered in ants, with quite a few crawling upward. I tore that nightgown off so fast – totally naked underneath – in a display of sheer panic overwhelming enough to negate any sense of modesty.
I learned as an adult that he used that moment of distress as fodder for sexual stories he told his friends for years.
So, basically, it’s all nightmare fuel for me.

I was stung on the back by a wasp in the shower a few years ago. I thought it was one of those tiny red dots on my skin that occasionally sting when they first appear (hemangioma?). A bit more painful. Youch.
Fortunately not allergic.

There’s some nasty parallax at the beginning of the new Star Wars trailer. But now to ill-grounded speculation:
Dark Empire is back!
The Emperor died-- but he had clones-- and has been reborn.
