On the list of people my father would disapprove of me dating (read: all people; any people) there is one type in particular that would drive him to violence. He would probably label these people "wusses", "pansies", or "wimps". Now I'm not saying Wil Wheaton is any of these things, but at the time when I had a giant crush on him? Definitely.

( Sorry, Wil. But don't worry! I still love you! )

I don't care if dad would hate him. Ten year old me still wants to hold hands with Wesley Crusher and visit the holodeck. We could be obnoxious and pretentious together and make plans to take over the galaxy in a very positively received way. It would be awesome.

And then my dad would have to kill him and bury the body.

But before that happened I would have the chance to rub how awesome WW is in everyone's faces. If I could go back in time to the late 80s/early 90s, maybe I would. Maybe I wouldn't! But if I did, I'd say this: CHECK OUT WIL WHEATON NOW, BITCHES.

* Bradley James, I doubt you are reading this, but if you are, please stay clean-shaven. I mean, you looked fine with facial hair but your face is so beautiful it really deserves to be on display at all times. Much like the rest of you.

I'm a Star Trek fan. I grew up watching The Next Generation and you better believe I basically peed myself over the new movie. But TNG will always be my main Star Trek love. I can't help it. Captain Picard was smooth, suave, and intelligent. Commander Riker was, well, commanding (Oh, hello, post-pubescent self), and hell, I even liked Wesley Crusher. (I know, the masses hated him, but check out Wil Wheaton now, bitches.)

But let's keep it real. The main draw on that show was Commander Data, who was the smartest person on the show and also had a cat. He was my hero. I wanted to be that daughter he created, except not because, you know, she died. And Data had all the best toys (okay, everyone on the show did). Tricorders and the LCARS system and shuttles and, of course, PADDs.

Have I mentioned that the iPad is basically a Star Trek PADD made real and that while family and friends make fun of me I want one desperately with the passion of a thousand burning stars? No?

Irrelevant. Q and Data have used it and probably want it.

Your argument is invalid.

If it comes down to it, I will fight you on the streets for this. With my fists. And my robot-like lack of compassion.

[but daddy, i love him!] Wil Wheaton: Still Awesome

[apple] The Probability of Me Buying This is 99.99%, Captain
