I can totally see you as Scarlett O'Hara!!!
I shatnerd myself after I typed that! Totally got all dramatic looking at screen and keyboard.
We like doing the Nimoy: that's when, whenever something even vaguely interesting happens, you must raise one eyebrow and say "fascinating".
Can't raise one eyebrow? Try the Doohan. Whenever the boss tells you to do something you tell him you "haven't the powerrrrr" in a fake scottish accent.

Long day yesterday. The bookstore that sponsored the signing didn't advertise it well, so it was a lot of time spent talking to other writers--lol. There were about 40 of us, I think. And still, the geeks found me! I had long conversations about Star Wars, comic books, superheroes, etc. with three of them (and had to embarrass one guy who was trying to impress the girl he was with by talking down to me. Bad idea. I was a geek before he was born. He was too old for her, anyway 
). As I said to Mark, "How did they find me?! I was dressed up in normal people clothes, sitting behind girly books, and everything!" Still, sold a couple of books and talked to some interesting people. Thats my favorite part. People fascinate me. I heard some vanity pub. horror stories, too. Guys, if you have to pay them to have your book published, IT'S NOT A GOOD DEAL (unless you just want a keepsake or just for family/friends. Then go with LULU, because you can pub just a couple there). Companies are charging these people thousands of dollars for no editing, crappy covers, and no return unless they sell a thousand books. There are published writers who don't sell that many the first time out.
Anyway, going to spend today (after church) hiking, then Walking Dead marathon in preparation for seeing the new one tomorrow. Have to go into recover mode after yesterday; I WORE A DRESS! AND HEELS! AND DID HAIR AND MAKEUP! It was exhausting! lol

Looking at your avatar, and see you saying "fascinating" now.
Actually, I'm doing the 'Bones', saying, "Damn it, I'm a DOCTOR, not a teeny-bopper selfie model..."
I.. am TYPING... this in very.... DRAMATIC FASHION!
I walked up the stairs to the loft, and paused crumbled hand on chest. breathing hard , trembling hands typing now.

Um - nope! (if that is a compliment I will take it).
I just sent a pic to Holly - I always picture HER as a Southern Belle (wow - that was a coincidence, eh?)
When I wear the special parka Andy had made for me up north I picture myself as an [Eskimo] {Inuit} actually.
I did pull this one on my Sgt one time when asked why I didn't have a report ready when I said I would.
Sgt: "Where's the case summary report?"
Me(in me best James Doohan caricature Scottish accent): "I'm typin' as fast as I can Sgt, I've givin' 'er all she's got sir!" (I hear low chuckles coming from the other cubicles)
Sgt(no pause at all after my remark): "Star Trek is gay, and you're a f#c&ing idiot. Get the report turned in ASAP."
I then jumped up and gave him a huge bear hug, exclaimed loudly that all of us loved him for being the level headed, understanding old bear that he was. This cracked everyone up. He just shook his head, "I work with a bunch of friggin' comedians, I hate all of you." But, he was laughing himself at this point...lol
He was and still is a great guy. I do miss working with him.
You looked really scarletty on that photo from the last KingCon...... So of course it is a compliment.

How is this one? (this is from the 60s in Toronto) - the dress is a bit short, though.
