User:Ships&Space/About me

Hi! I'm Ships &amp; Space. I was born in Portland, Oregon, but I've lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area. I currently live in the East Bay. I'm a student at Chabot College, and my major is probably going to be either astronomy (or possibly astrophysics) or engineering (probably astronautics). I'm not currently employed (that's different from being unemployed), but that might change in the near–ish future. I've long been a reader of Wikipedia. I was diagnosed as autistic at the age of one, and it's (partly) why I'm very introverted.

If you can't tell from my userpage, I like Star Trek. I like it a lot. Without a doubt, it's my favorite media franchise. I was introduced to TOS when I was about 12, and I've been hooked since. Maybe it's the promise of a better future, of a place to belong; the neet ships and (possibly way too in–depth) descriptions and classification; or maybe the epic moral speeches. Regardless of which of these is the main contributor, there's no denying it: the fan service doesn't hurt. Jokes (attempted) aside, the promise of a utopia is quite appealing.

I'm also a fan of:


 * The Fate franchise, largely through the TV adaptations.
 * Neon Genesis Evangelion, though I've only seen the original TV series.
 * Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0.
 * The Half-life and Portal games.
 * Paradox Interactive's various GSGs, though primarily Europa Universalis IV, Stellaris, and Hearts of Iron IV.

And of course:
