The sibling in my family that is closest in age to me is fourteen years older than I am. Basically I grew up like an only child and developed an uncanny ability to entertain myself when alone and with limited resources. This was demonstrated today upon returning to work from lunch when I took an ordinary strip of plastic, which normally serves as a shade for the fluorescent light over my desk, and transformed it into Geordi La Forge's visor.

I did that same exact thing a few years back but because the light fixture was old, the diffuser ended up shattering into a billion pieces and I nearly took out the friend's eye I was trying to impress with my comic madness :) I think I was pretending I had a big hair clip not a LaForge VISOR but the concept is the same ;)

Thank you for posting that! I'm an only child and most people find it ridiculous when I can entertainment through anything!
Well, you're a bit to the top though, cause you're an "only child" with a Sci-fi twist.
I'm still a closet case with my Sci-fi fetish *sheesh* don't tell anyone that.
