And inexplicably, I have survived another year

Despite the valiant efforts of Romulans, Daleks, Crimson Guardsmen, Sith, Kzinti and this freaky ass bitch,

You're only delaying the inevitable. You must sleep, I don't.

today marks my 29th year of still being alive. Of those near three decades, I've been a nerd for 23. I was six when I started playing video games (E.T. on an Atari 5200) and comics followed a few years later, along with many science fiction on the boob tube. Unfortunately, the only library back where I lived was at the elementary school I went to and I don't recall them having any science fiction or fantasy books, so it would be a while before I delved into that.
