20 years ago... I was 16 years old, a not-so-typical teenager. Back in those days, every girl was a fan of either Take That or the Backstreet Boys. Very few were into N*Sync. And then there was me with my best friend... our teenage fangirl topic was and has always been STAR TREK. We were Trekkies in our heart, everything else was centering around it. Even our favourite colors... hers was blue, mine was red. Our teenage crushes were Star Trek guys. Oh boy... I had two

I was just scrolling through Twitter and followed all the actor's accounts and was thinking of that time 20 years ago. We didn't have Twitter or any other social media website. We had to buy magazines to get updates about the actors and the shows. I had to invest TONS of money to buy VHS tapes with the latest episodes of Star Trek Voyager that had to be imported from the UK. The alternative (waiting for 1 or 2 years to see them dubbed on German tv was NO OPTION). All my pocket money went into VHS tapes, magazines, books and the two Star Trek conventions I was able to attend. Good old days... Any thougts on your life 20 years ago?

Twenty years ago, I was a newlywed. We had my great niece come live with us. She was spoiled.We walked a lot, and did lots of outdoorsy things. I worked in a preschool.
