1. At one point in the novelization Kirk is rumored to have slept with half of the students in Starfleet Academy (and that some weren't even humanoid). Kirk's response? "...hardly half. You're rounding up that number. Not that I'm not flattered, mind... And they were all humanoid - I think." 2. Due to gender being conveniently absent from that discussion, it's my headcanon that Kirk is bisexual with a heavy female preference. 3. This one time, he used his pseudo-girlfriend to launch a subroutine program and cheated his way into winning the Kobayashi Maru situation. 4.And then he apologized to the wrong girl. 5. Kirk is coming in from another game. He previously spent eight months in Siren's Port, Canada. While he was there, the Core gave him an unnatural power, same as it did to every other person without a special ability. He in particular became capable of touch-telepathy, though it's limited to his hands. 6. That's why he wears leather gloves if he's going to be in the company of others. Yes, even during sex. 7. He became the guardian of an 11-year-old Spock during his stay in Canada and basically everything he did revolved around the miniature Vulcan. 8. He learned how to cook. Vegetarian meals, even. Sure, he had meat from time to time, but it was much easier to make more of the stuff he was whipping up for Spock than it was to cook something completely different for himself. 9. Due to the malicious aura of the monsters that roamed the streets at night, Kirk ended up sleeping close by Spock at night to keep the boy's underdeveloped telepathy from latching onto the creatures. This also meant that he had to learn to sleep in 95 degree temperatures so that Spock wasn't cold. 10. He knows a lot about manatees now.
