What would you like for us to know about you, for the sake of communication. It's more meaningful when our thoughts pertaining to you are guided by an accurate (or basic) idea of your self-image.
What makes you who are you are, what things have you done, and what were your reasons for doing them?
I will add my own bio once this thread is under way.

I'm punky. I listen to japanese anime OSTs and several genres such as rock and hip hop and pop... but always japanese.
Rainfleet is out doing stuff all the time, but i'm usually just vegging in my quarters with the lights dim, face lit by a datapad. watching animes you've never heard of. I ask people i meet whether they've seen my favorite ones but it's almost always no.
I enjoy my life. I don't know where the funds come from, it's stuff that 7 and 8 and 9 arrange, but I suppose it's not just a bad thing to pull myself away from anime in order to fly around in serious spaceships.
I like to fly falcons, and I like being needed by everyone. Sneaking around in a cloaky ship suuper fun. and i'm usually giggling when i'm on grid with someone.
I like really cute boys who listen to Panic! at the disco and Fall Out Boy. Rainf1337 on Twitch |

geeze where to start.
i'm a 24 year old english dude with long hair in a ponytail. i sit in a windowless office 8 hours per day 5 days per week, working on a computer doing anything from putting numbers into spreadsheets, to tech suport and website maintenance. i also have a counterbalance forklift license and drive forklifts in the loading yard when needed.
i don't suffer fools gladly, and can be quite blunt and harsh without really meaning to. i also have trouble explaining things to others in a way that makes sense to them, sometimes. The Gord Abides.

People say i'm airheaded but I think that's just because I don't always have something I'm thinking about. I could make an *effort* and think about stuff and make decisions, but most of the time I just do stuff that is interesting or fun when it presents itself in front of me.
like
watching movies, sleeping in, chatting on my datapad with kate, and picking out perfumes from early twentysomething demographic clothing stores.
I like flying falcons too, but i try to get seriousface about it because it usually means we're out protecting kate. :-3

five and six will be baby rains to me for quite some time.
I was the first rain and at times it was rough and lonely for me. I woke up 8 and 9 and sent them into highsec to learn what it was about while I ratted for ISK in curse. i got podded a couple times so the space experience has been a bit different for me. I'd like to see them protected and I would do -anything- to make sure they have an easy life.

Whelp, I'm 38 yrs old... to go ahead and get it out of the way, I'm "bipolar 1 with schizoid features," which is generally under control with all the meds I take but I do have my moments. If you have any questions about it I'd be happy to answer them, I think it's good for people to know a bit about such things as they're not often talked about.
Married for 7 yrs, divorced about 7 years ago. She was crazy too, it was doomed from the start, lolz.
The love of my life is Mr. Nixon, my cat. I had his mother and grandmother too, so he's been with me since birth. He is always by my side, often on one of the keyboards on my desk =/ He was born on Easter Sunday, 2007.
My passions in life are Mr Nixon, Music, and Cooking. I have a music collection Ive been working on for like 14 years, all on my computers. Last time I tried to have some software count it I stopped at 30,000 or so songs cuz it was taking too long. All full albums and discographies. Varying genres. Takes up about 270GB atm.
Meyers-Brigg personality type is INTP. Quite the introvert irl, online Im more.. lively? personable? idk. You guys get it.
I like being sorta on the bad side in Eve,but irl Im probably one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. I've really been enjoying warming up to some new friends here on the forums these past few days 
(somewhere, someone is thinking "goddamn that ssab must like to talk about himself")

all the rains are fine, except 7. she acts out and it works to relieve the things she might be struggling with, but sometimes even that's not enough. I keep a close eye on her mental and emotional state so I can know the things she might not tell me or be aware of.

a bit of IC, but OOC.
I'm posting as Rain the Player.
I've been several things in the past, including heavy equipment mechanic (diesel/construction stuff) and worked as a field mechanic for a nationwide equipment rental company (United Rentals). Made good money, got laid off eventually, gg
I just wanted to know how to work on my own cars, and being a city boy, it sounded like a good idea.
then I was in the army for a few years as a medic. I wanted to learn how to take care of my own body. did a deployment (third) and then left the military behind me.
I'm in school now. It was pre-engineering for a couple years, until it just started crushing my soul semester after semester. I'm taking full load of art classes now, and i'm happier than ever.
I posted with the rains because they each have a part of my personality in them. the rains are real, distinct aspects of my own personality.
and Loco... he is my artist. and I think the remainder of my life's happiness will be achieved through art.
o7 o7
i'm 31, single, divorced, 5'6, polite in public but always looking for an opening to make a dirty joke...and I like hanging around like-minded people.
I'm on a roll of staying sober, single, responsible, and chasing my personal development with all of my energy.
this might bring up the question of love [and sex] life, but I have one. my amazing partner is me. he's handsome, intelligent, creative, understanding, brutally honest, resourceful... and just really good at keeping me entertained. and guessing. I think we'll go far together.

I'm a bit confused. The topic says "irl" but is Rainfleet reflecting on Rain Prime, or personalities?
Ah, well...
I'm a 48 year old biker married with two teenage boys. Built like a barrel and born in a time and into a family where old fashioned was the norm. I open doors for women. I say "please" and "thank you". I believe that an occasional ass whoopin' was necessary for people who deserved it but you help them up off the ground when it was over. Children were praised for doing things well, complimented on their creativity and disciplined when they did something wrong.
I used to have long hair but now my avatar looks a lot like me. 
I believe you give a person respect until THEY give you a reason to withdraw it. You get two strikes. It's the "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." principle. From that point on, they are not to be trusted and IF they want that trust back, they have to damn well earn it.
I've worked hard all my life starting with my first job at 16. Since then, I've never gone more that 4 months without a job. I've worked as a radio dj, harley mechanic, diesel mechanic and currently custodial engineer for the schools.
I love to go camping, listen to music and audiobooks. (Dont have a lot of time to sit and crack open a book, but I far prefer it.) Riding my Harley is next to sex in the greatest pleasures of life. I can sit for hours on top of a mountain looking over a valley or sit by the ocean and watch the waves.
I was a very angry person when I was young, but I've tried to get to the point where things dont bother me as much. I dont respond well to threats and honestly, I cannot stand malicious smack talk. At all. However, I tend to be self deprecating in my humor and will poke fun in jest.

More Rl...from 2012-first part of this year...i worked 18 hr work shifts m-th. An died a lil inside...When the government shut down...i worked 23.5 hour shifts an the boss had cots for all employees an a motel room that we would use near by to take showers an naps.
For the past several months i have been trying to figure out what its like to be normal again...but then i get SMS about this fleet or that...an im like one more day of Eve, an i will then do RL stuff...only to look outside an be like...is today Monday? Ahhhh dangit...must be ready for work soon.

I'm 42 years old. Almost got married once, but decided the whole family-and-children-and-normality thing was not for me, so I've been changing relationships every once in a while and moving around the world, seeing what's out there. Now I'm living with a former prostitute I met at the whorehouse, we have a great relationship and shared understanding.
The worst things about me: abnormal, misanthropic, nihilistic and asocial. The best things about me: last month I gave up for good my unfortunate habit of poking my brain with a coat hanger through my ear. Since then, I only experience catatonic episodes in the middle of conversations, but not anymore while driving or performing recreational dental self-surgery.
I enjoy nature, hiking, and being in the outdoors as much as being locked up in my home-office for endless hours doing god-knows-what; a certain sense of aesthetics, simple things as well as complex things, traditional stuff along with the bizarre, quietness and calmness punctuated by death metal concerts... contrasts, dichotomies and contradictions, every yin needs its yang.

I'm a 20 something Midwest American girl. Typical in many ways and totally not in some others. I'm the second of two children born to Ukrainian parents that immigrated here in the early 70's. My brother is much older than I am and I idolized him growing up. His influence is responsible for my tomboyish ways including power sports and even video games.
My childhood was not the best but I think this has helped me become who I am today. At the time though it was not much appreciated. My folks were substance abusers and alcoholics. More than a few scary and embarrassing moments involving them. I resolved that I did not want to be like that. I'm the only person in my family to have graduated high school. To say nothing of college, which I completed as well.
Now I work as a surgical technologist almost full time. I do pretty well for myself. Which is fortunate because I love spending money lol. I'm proud of what I have accomplished but I know I have a lot of growing up to do still. I'm whimsical, intelligent, manic, energetic, strong and caring. Yet I am also vulnerable and at times weak and intimidated by change and forces out my control. I enjoy attention way too much and this is simultaneously a source of great pleasure and terrible consequences. I have a lot of difficulty with boundaries. My actions have hurt others as well as myself in this regard. To my shame. It's something I've been working on very hard to change about myself.
As I get older I hope above all things to keep bettering myself and to be able to enjoy and respect each and everyday for the experiences they bring. Good or bad they all have lessons to teach and I wish to keep my eyes and ears open as much as possible for them.  |

So uh.. I just turned 40, I am an employed straight cis Caucasian male without any severe mental or physical illnesses. BRB, checking my privileges.
I work in a medical facility that treats hero1n-addicts (stupid wordfilter), so basically my job is caring for the outcast of society, keeping them out of harms way and -most importantly- alive. 2014 isn't a very good year for us, several long term patients that I knew very well, died within the last months. So it goes.
Not married, no children. GF lives in a town 100 km away, which leaves me plenty of time for eve on weekdays. I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

I'm a late 20s guy with a penchent for gourmet cooking, theorycrafting, travelling, and walking along the beach while it is raining.
Oh wait... wrong site.
In all honesty, I'm a fairly laid back guy who switches between "life of the party" and "hermit." Even though I am an accountant by day (which shall henceforth be known as "soulless keyboard pounding") I am pathologically nice (to a fault) and often find myself as the "giver" in most relationships (romantic and otherwise). I have a deep seated respect for all life and as a result I often donate my time to various volenteer projects in my area and donate blood (and other vital fluids) whenever I can. And when I am not doing all that I hike in the woods or learn to play the piano while babysitting my toddler cousins.
In EVE I am still kinda nice... but I am a mass murdering kind of nice and very much enjoy making things explode and burn in fire! Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

I suppose that people in RL have commented on how lucky you are to just 'relax and get paid'. But to be honest. If they knew how it would be they would certainly not envy you. I can only imagine how hard it would be to, in some way, live outside the society. I wish the best for you and hope that future technology will be able to improve your situation.
And as someone who is in the medical field: may I ask you what kind of disability you are struggling with? (You don't have to answer if you don't feel like it).

How can you live like that? It really bothers me. When I have my insomniac days/weeks I'm completely trashed and can't focus much. Weird :S
Someone like me would really love to have the extra awake hours pr day, but I suppose it also comes with a drawback.

I might sound like a douche, but I am somehow glad to hear that you burned out on eve. I mean, you were scary...a person who put so much time and effort both into his study and this game, without ever faltering. Finally showing signs of eve-burnout makes you human again 
Not sure how bad it is currently, but I found out that at least for me, unsubscribing for a few months worked far better than just lurking and playing skillqueue online.
If everything else fails, I can highly recommend just settling down in the middle of nowhere and building AFs and dictors...

In person I tend to be fairly quiet and reserved. I prefer to listen, observe, and learn before leaping in and making assumptions, though I'm as guilty of it as anyone. I'm told I have a good poker face and I rarely show my emotions. When I'm around new people I don't often talk much but I open up with and have been known to mercilessly tease those I get to know better.
My experiences have left me with an inclination to be open-minded and I appreciate artistry and beauty in a great many forms. I like to see the best in people, and enjoy when the positive aspects inherent in everyone shine through. However, I am not exactly an optimist as my sarcasm and dark humor will attest. I tend to be driven by both logic and creativity and if I focus on one I find myself craving the other. Often it seems like I'm always thinking, mind racing, as much as I wish I could stop sometimes.
One of my greatest interests is technology in all it's forms. Starting as a kid working with basic robotics up to teaching myself the latest programming languages, I've always been fascinated in everything from the flow of the electrons to the shine of the led. Several years studying game development has also given me a deeper appreciation of the games I play, and although I can be a harsh critic, especially of indie games, I also know exactly how much effort goes into the development of any game, especially an mmo.
That's a bit about me, but not all, since where would the fun be without a little mystery?  |

Im in very much the same situation but with a different attitude towards it. I'm on disability for mental illness, which I mentioned in my original post in this thread. I am almost always in hermit mode myself. I become VERY uncomfortable when out and about, so pretty much the only times I leave the house are to see the psychiatrist or my therapist. Maybe a few times a year I'll go spend a weekend at the home of my best friend of 21 years. I prefer it if he comes over here lol.
It rly doesnt bother me much. As I said in my previous post, my passions are my cat (my baby) music, and cooking. I have all of these things at home. My therapist is always telling me to "get out and socialize;" For a guy with a PhD I'm pretty surprised that he doesnt get that this IS my socializing. Right now, writing this post, reading yall's posts. In game I chat live with my friends. When Im done eating dinner Im going to text my CEO and another corpie. Maybe we'll talk on TS later, tho I prefer to only do that during ops or meetings. I never liked talking on the phone either.
TBH, I ILIKE my situation for the most part; not the illness (AT ALL) but my living situation. As I said, I'm a hermit anyway. I actually consider myself blessed in a way. It's sometimes very difficult being me, thinking, feeling, seeing and hearing the things I do(that usually arent really there), but on the flip side, I dont get up every day and go to a job I don't like, I dont have to be around people all the time and try to focus on what they're saying to me, etc. I sleep in 2-3 (if Im lucky 4) hour shifts, not by choice. It happens a few times a day, but I see the bright side even in that: I'm online at least for a few hours in all timezones 
So I have Mr Nixon (my cat) as my constant companion, if I get bored I make something nice to eat, I can play Eve and listen to music whenever I want. There's always a bright side to things, even if the grass looks a LOT greener on the other side. I wouldnt be as presumptuous as to tell anyone what to do, but appreciating even the small things has a great impact on my overall happiness, or at least contentment.
sorry for the long post

I really love dogs but I've never had a dog myself (though i babysit a few..).
I have a knife blade sized section of my right scapula missing. It's hard to spot now, but there is an area on my back that will just feel empty if you push your finger in. Side fact: every time I see the scene in T2 where the T1000 steps next to the little blob of himself he lost briefly in a chase and then absorbs it, it reminds me of my missing piece of bone

Kinda relieving to know that you're not irreplaceable, takes the edge of the pressure, If I fall ten more will take my place (Yes, that was a WH40K Quote). xD
Also, I like my cat. He's slightly bigger than most dogs in our little settlement and when we let him out for the first time he immediatly started to conquer is own little (actually it was quite big) turf which then he defended vigorously. Some of the dog owners even stared at me in a most accusingly manner claiming that some little monster had torn up their dogs ears and now the dog doesn't want to leave the house anymore.
And that's the part I like most about my cat because now none of that uggly smelly monsters will **** ony the lawn that's supposed to be there for the children to play on.  Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I might sound like a douche, but I am somehow glad to hear that you burned out on eve. I mean, you were scary...a person who put so much time and effort both into his study and this game, without ever faltering. Finally showing signs of eve-burnout makes you human again  Not sure how bad it is currently, but I found out that at least for me, unsubscribing for a few months worked far better than just lurking and playing skillqueue online. If everything else fails, I can highly recommend just settling down in the middle of nowhere and building AFs and dictors...

Something else about me and mine; I am very blessed in that I have 4 friends that have been my friends for about 21 years now. We've all lived together at some point or another, multiple times over the years, we've been thru very bad stages of doing the hard stuff together if u know what I mean, we've recovered from that $hit together. We're like a family, and Id rather have those 4 very close friends then have a lot of friends that weren't nearly as close.
Anyway, what I was getting at, is that I hug my male friends, tell them I love them, and they do the same. Family trumps machismo. A vote for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil.

Hmmm.... okay, maybe just a few tidbits from me that people won't already know.
These days, I mostly keep to myself. I write freelance but I'm officially unemployed and on disability, so I play EVE a lot.
What I would like to be doing, though, if I can ever summon the courage and sociability again, is go back to singing, and maybe do a little standup like I always wanted to. Before I discovered EVE at the height of a personal crisis I was having (discovering EVE literally saved my life), I was very social. I worked in sales, and once a week, every Wednesday night, my whole team would hit up a backpackers bar in Brisbane City. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a rather obscure place, hard to find. Anyway, they did karaoke on Wednesdays, that's the important part. My one and only claim to fame is that I was actually quite good at it and at one point was even taking requests.
Favourite songs to sing included anything by the Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, Linkin Park, Nirvana, Three Doors Down, and a few others. I was once convinced to do the male background vocals for a girl I liked who was singing that Evanescence song I can't remember the title of.... the one from that bad Daredevil movie.
MOST FUN songs to sing included Smells Like Teen Spirit, In The End (best done with two people), Big Machine, Slide, Push, 3am, Disease, and a few obscurities by Panic at the Disco like, my personal favourite, There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet (yes, that's the song title, the whole thing). I also enjoyed any number of duets with various drunkards at the pub, and on another occasion, a group effort singing Tubthumping's Chumbawumba.
And yes, I will and do sing on coms  GÇ£Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.GÇ¥ - Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen, Pithum Nullifier Training Manual c. YC104 |

I'm a bit of a loner; I have some good friends, but not that many. I tend to be socially conscious, but I'm not a 'war-hawk' (quite the opposite, in fact -- I'm a pacifist and (for religious reasons, as well as personal) a conscientious objector).
I'm stubborn, at times, and a bit of a know-it-all (though, since I became aware of it, I try very hard not to be one). If I had to describe myself in one word, it would probably be 'polymath': I love to read and write and my interests cover almost a dozen fields of study.
While I'm gregarious once you get to know me, I'm almost always uncomfortable among those I don't know. I think that's partially why I took up acting, and why I prefer the (relative) anonymity of the Internet. |

Ah, my old friend Ambien. Yeah, I blacked out every night on it too, and for the first couple of weeks I was on it I would also sleepwalk.
As you've maybe seen me mention, now I only sleep 2-3 hours at a time at different hours of the day/night.
This is because my ******* psychiatrist cut me off from them because he "didn't feel comfortable contributing to my pattern of substance abuse." Well la dee fookin dah. Now I get more crazy than I usual am cuz Im sleep deprived all the time.
Anyway, Ambien is a godsend for insomniacs. Just only take it as directed ;)

I am a 31 year old woman. I was born in Vietnam and when I was younger my parents left to come to America and did not want to risk me on the boat to Hong Kong so I stayed in my village with my grand mom. Once they became citizens they sponsored me when I was 14 to come to America. I came over and was put in high school with a translator since I didn't speak English at the time. I graduated high school and went to Cali State where I earned my degree in Business with a minor in accounting and marketing option.
I started working at Expedia doing accounting and just didn't like it then I got a call from my cousin who was in Florida and worked at nail salon since the owner needed more employees. I flew out to FL and found my calling, I ran their books and saw what I wanted to do. I loved the idea of working in salons and making people feel beautiful, I got my cosmetology licenses and never looked back I built a solid following of clients and opened my own salon 2 years later as well as a beauty supply distributor that supplies the salons in panhandle.
I married an amazing man last year after we had been together for 3 years; we met at a grocery store near the salon I worked at when I first got to FL. In our free time we like to go on the boat and do some fishing, we also play EvE and hearthstone, we love Netflix and showGÇÖs like family guy, criminal minds, the office and others. I love to cook Vietnamese dishes and shopping. I guess the weirdest part of me is making my husband eat and drink dishes that I feel are normal but he thinks is odd lol. He has not gotten over some of our ingredients in meals like pho (I mean real pho not restaurant pho), and other Vietnamese dishes I cook. However he doesnGÇÖt ask and eats it, he is a CIO of a civil engineering company so when he comes homes he looks over my books and eats the food.

Apparently my lack of neck beard is surprising to some people (wave to DMC) 
But more seriously...
Im 29 years old, and while i live in USA i have a strong Norwegian accent since i just moved here 4 years ago. I have been told that im surprisingly blunt, which occasionally makes people feel oddly uncomfortable around me.
However, im more shy in crowds, so if you meet me in real life and you want to have an actual conversation its better to get me on my own.
I have also been told (on way to many occasions) that i look much younger then i really am. Trust me it gets tiring having to explain to people over and over again that the guy im with is actually my husband, not my father, and that his daughter is really my step daughter and not my sister 
I generally dont drink (if i do its like once a year, at least the past two years when i attended FF), but i do smoke (cigarettes). However it seems like something with my appearance makes people take it for granted that im a drug addict, a drunk, or both (its always great when someone is wondering why your trying to lie about not using drugs).
I spent most of my life working on a farm, but after moving to USA i have been working as a volunteer for a local cat shelter in California, but if someone happens to walk by with a dog except me to go "awww" and pet it. I have soft spot for dogs 
Im crazy about dragons, which lead me to get a tattoo of one for my 18th year birthday (my mother is still waiting for me to say "you were right, i was stupid to get this thing" ). People often think that im a goth, most likely because i tend to wear a trench coat and most of my clothing is darker, and i have absolutely no interest in sci-fi. How i ended up in EVE is beyond me... Listen to a wide variety of music (as most that follow the what are you listening today thread is aware of), i love to read, i enjoy a wide range of TV shows, and as a ginger i have a weird relationship with the sun.
Doing my best to understand some of the weird American customs, still learning the language, and constantly mess up the grammar and accidentally switch to Norwegian when im very focused on what im doing. Oh and my accent gets way thicker when im pissed.
Met my husband in EVE, i refer to him by his EVE name in real life since i cant for the life of me pronounce J's without feeling like im chocking on my own tongue, and i prefer it when people refer to me as NC instead of badly miss pronouncing my real name making it sound like they are calling me the equivalent of an old stubborn female horse 
Think that just about covers it, so if you ever meet me in real life you are now prepared  Phoibe Enterprises official recruitment thread The Eve Reader - -áAudio Recordings of Eve Chronicles

I started working at Expedia doing accounting and just didn't like it then I got a call from my cousin who was in Florida and worked at nail salon since the owner needed more employees. I flew out to FL and found my calling, I ran their books and saw what I wanted to do. I loved the idea of working in salons and making people feel beautiful, I got my cosmetology licenses and never looked back I built a solid following of clients and opened my own salon 2 years later as well as a beauty supply distributor that supplies the salons in panhandle.
I married an amazing man last year after we had been together for 3 years; we met at a grocery store near the salon I worked at when I first got to FL. In our free time we like to go on the boat and do some fishing, we also play EvE and hearthstone, we love Netflix and showGÇÖs like family guy, criminal minds, the office and others. I love to cook Vietnamese dishes and shopping. I guess the weirdest part of me is making my husband eat and drink dishes that I feel are normal but he thinks is odd lol. He has not gotten over some of our ingredients in meals like pho (I mean real pho not restaurant pho), and other Vietnamese dishes I cook. However he doesnGÇÖt ask and eats it, he is a CIO of a civil engineering company so when he comes homes he looks over my books and eats the food. He is still not big on to tapioca pearls but I am working on it. :)
Our weird side is we have a cat named Lucy No Boosy El Dorossy Kitty Go Spassy that we love to death and bring him on the boat with us so he can GÇ£inspect the fishGÇ¥, FYI our cat swims with us (poorly, so we have to be there with him to float his wake board to him that he jumps to when he is tired to make sure his people are ok, itGÇÖs a cat thing) so it like our little dog that comes in the water with us.
Thanks for sharing all of that  I'm pretty amazed your cat comes anywhere near the water. I've been a cat person all my life, and every one I've ever had has flat out HATED the water, lol. Pretty cool

quite a difficult question to answer TBH who i am in real in R/L errrm i like going down the pub and watching the footy (i love me footy ) been married 20 years wife hates me ...fkn cats fkn hate me not got very many friends ..but the ones i have i cherish
i prefer to look at myself and think of what i have achieved in life ...was brought up in one of the most run down places in the north east of england and was sent to one of the worst performing schools in history ... left school and was thrown straight on to the scrapheap .
i thought fuk this !this isnt what im about ... so i upped sticks and moved south to find employment got a job as a postman one of the best jobs ive ever had (at that time) wouldnt do it now though ... i hear they get treated like dog shite . then got the chance to work in the IT industry and i though yeah why the **** not ...sounds like a fkn skive .. and never really looked back ive done some stuff in the IT industry that would make some peoples fkn eyes water ! ive even kicked a nuclear missile (when no one watching 0and i think the pinnicle of my otherwise worthless existence was building the police nationale database ..summat that every parent in this country should be bloody proud of ... the amount of pedo`s perverts and rapists that have been caught because of that system is unreal (im really chuffed at that )
now ive gone back to me roots just working on the helpdesk doing 2nd line support for one of the worlds biggest auditors .
some may say its a bit of a step back ... but i actually get paid more aaaand its less that 2 miles travel from my house ! so its a win win for me no more paying a third of my salary on train fares !
not bad coming from a sink estate urchin methinks
just goes to show if you put the effort in ...you can sometimes get the rewards ...sometimes . |

In RL singing is my passion. I can sing like a Ying, I can sing like anything. In the shower, along with music on my smart phone with my earphones in, Christmas caroling, strumming on my guitar crooning for my wife, kids, and house guests, karaoke night. At birthday parties I can really get the crew in line to sing a good "Happy Birthday." It's simple, really. You just have to sing from the diaphragm and put some energy into it.
Once I severely nubbed while temporarily in Estel Arador getting a jump clone. Marmite had a wardec on them and killed my ship full of BPs and T2 invention stuff.

Stealing Gords words becuase it fits me as well. I'm 27 with a "decent" job - i enjoy doing it but the pay is pretty terrible and i'm starting to resent some of the workforce. I also spent the last 3 birthdays either living out of a van/boxes or alone, which I suppose added to my slightly "anti-social" nature - as in I prefer to choose my social events rather than have them thrust upon me, much to the annoyance of my family whom think that I spend too much time "indoors" and that I need to go to the pub every single friday to enjoy life.
I'm also a depressive, with a tendancy to either taking the blame/being blamed for other peoples issues. I have noted however that I am starting to become exceptionally mentally violent, which I suppose I should get looked at. In my experience happy happens to other people, so while you see me laughing, I'm not internally. Blessed are those that carry the Empress' Light; with it they destroy the shadows |

I'm a freshman college student from New Jersey. My major is computer programming, but oddly enough I wound up as Treasurer for our paralegal club. I enjoy evenings on the beach whenever I can get them (in NJ you have to pay for beach tags during the day so I sneak on to the beach at night... Never been caught, it's easy), but I spend most of my time in solitude, although I do enjoy spending time on these forums and talking with all of you, my lovely space-friends.
I love reading. I voice act and compose music as hobbies. I also enjoy strategy games, everything from Command & Conquer to Planetary Annihilation, even the turned-based ones such as Space Empires and Endless Space. I've been playing FPSes my entire life so I'm pretty good at them. If anyone wants to hook up with a game of Red Faction or whatever else, feel free to shoot me a mail. I don't get much homework and only have one class a day for four days a week, so I have plenty of spare time.
I'm a complete sci-fi nerd. I love Star Trek, Firefly, Stargate (all three of the series official series), Star Wars (mostly the games, though. I spend hours trawling through the wookiepedia) and though this one may be obscure, Andromeda.
I like music, and I will at least give everything a try. My favorite artists are Caravan Palace, The Birthday Massacre, Deadmau5, and The Glitch Mob. I also like off-the-wall humor, youtube channels such as kitty0706 get me laughing my ass off every time.
I tend to be rough around the edges in person. More often than not I speak in a gruff, simple and quiet manner, since I don't like talking (I prefer writing, in case you couldn't tell). Often, I seem irritable or unapproachable, but that's only because I don't get much sleep and tend to be grumpy.
I'll probably fill in more details later. Kerono Thalmor Former CEO of Thalmor Corporation |

Our cat is a Maine Coon Cat. The reason it comes with us everywhere is because my husband found it as a kitten. When Lucy messes up he picks it up by the rough of the neck and tells Lucy what the problem was, shows it the error. Lucy learns and will never leave his side. The reason we have the wake board is since Maine Coon Cats have a crap ton of fur, it weighs it down in water but Lucy will swim to us. So we keep the wake board when Lucy gets tired, it jumps on the board (it is a board with a carpet layer so it can dig its claws into).
We only do this in calm water, if we have a hard wake the cat stays on the boat, if Lucy jumps in we put it back on the boat using the rough of the neck to teach it waves. As of now Lucy understands waves and will only jump in when in calm water. Cat's can be trained, they are amazing animals and learn more than people give them credit for. I am a proud supporter of the LAGL permit holders.

Nothing so banal. 
I do custom installs, waterfront "cottages", boat houses, historical reno's and any other upscale construction that isn't mass produced.
And weirdest part is, how the estimate just keeps going up, and up, and up the more the trophy wife keeps bitching. Either way, one way or another, "hubby" is paying for it.

Ssabat, I have two Maine Coons, and they're both difficult. :) Superb hunters, but no social skills. Seems they just can't learn to get along and have no empathy. 100% selfish me-ism. Any insights? "Were [sic] not your monkey and so what?"-á -The Sex Pistols (2006) |

Lucy learns and will never leave his side. The reason we have the wake board is since Maine Coon Cats have a crap ton of fur, it weighs it down in water but Lucy will swim to us. So we keep the wake board when Lucy gets tired, it jumps on the board (it is a board with a carpet layer so it can dig its claws into). We only do this in calm water, if we have a hard wake the cat stays on the boat, if Lucy jumps in we put it back on the boat using the rough of the neck to teach it waves. As of now Lucy understands waves and will only jump in when in calm water. Cat's can be trained, they are amazing animals and learn more than people give them credit for. So now we both train the cat to teach it to be more water based :-) Nixss, wonderful story. One of my best buds in high school Khiem came to rural Texas from Vietnam, and now I'm a U.S. immigration attorney. Kids being taken all around the world-- kind of intense lives, always good when they end up working out well. Ssabat, I have two Maine Coons, and they're both difficult. :) Superb hunters, but no social skills. Seems they just can't learn to get along and have no empathy. 100% selfish me-ism. They're just different than regular cats. Any insights?

Whelp, some cats are sorta born that way, lol. One thing I've found works somewhat, sometimes with less personable cats is to basically kiss their arses. Some alpha-type cats want to be the "kings" so to speak. Idk what kind of feeding routine you have with them, but if possible, rather than keeping their bowls full all the time, try having them let you know they're hungry. Seems counter-intuitive, but if you can get them to lead you to their bowls, and then feed them, it gives them the impression that you're "obeying" them.
I have also always petted Mr. Nixon for a minute or two as he eats, and it always sets him off on deep purring, tho I can see how some cats may not like that either, but it's worth a shot. Other than that all I can tell you is basically to try to give them as much attention as you can, be very touchy-feely with them, and maybe even grab them and MAKE them sit on your lap while you stroke them for a few minutes. If they whine, however, let em go. Also, always speak to them in a very soothing, soft voice. Even if you have nothing to say, look at them and speak gibberish or say whatever comes to mind, but in that soft, soothing voice. They'll know you're talking to them if you just look at them while you do it.
If I think of anything else I'll edit it in. GL!

I'd be a nerd, but I don't have a lot of depth in natural science. I'd be a geek, but I don't have a lot of technological knowledge. I'd be a wonk, but I don't have a lot of interest in political parties. I'd be a dork, but - oh, wait. No, that's what I am. I'm a giant dork that spends far too much time reading philosophy, literature, and many other things that have no practical purpose whatsoever. |

I'm in my thirties, born in Asia, moved to Germany when I was 13, then went to a uni in UK, dropped out of PhD course in late 20s.
From my teenage to 20s my life had been pretty much defined by sex, drugs and rock n roll. I lived a life of a rock star and I had everything but fame. Played in a few bands for number of years each, the most successful one was in London where I was a drummer, highlight being headlining in decent sized clubs on Friday nights and our first single release reaching top 50 in UK chart (only for a week though). Then the evils of life kicked in and had to leave everything behind for a fresh new start with my girlfriend (who is now my wife).
Up to this point I was on a 9 months stint where I was under influence of at least one substance for ALL my waking hours. Sure I've been on stuff for a decade up to this point but I always took a break in between, at least even for a few hours during day time. But during this 9 months I was totally consumed by drugs. I always had a joint pre-rolled next to my pillow which I'd smoke as soon as I wake up, and from then I'd be popping pills on the way to school and snorting powders in the library toilets, practicing drums on speeds and sipping whiskey from hip-flask. My girlfriend (of 4 years at the time) finally gave me the ultimatum - either I clean up or she's out of my life.
Then I bought one way flight ticket to Hong Kong, where my wife was working at the time. I was still smoking herbs in the airport toilets in Heathrow (London) until a few minutes before boarding gate closes. But once I set my foot on that flight, it was all over. I landed in Hong Kong, moved in with my wife, found a job (actually 4 jobs if I include part-time/freelance work) and went clean. First week or so was absolutely horrible. I could no longer remember what/who I was before I started taking substance, so I didn't know if I was finally going 'back' to myself or not. I woke up as a new person, and didn't know what I was before the nightmare started. So I thought screw it, I'm just going to be born again and don't care who or what I was before this point.
Since then I did variety of things, from teaching history and English literature to working in an IT company call-centre, teaching drums and doing freelance translation, doing national service, working in an English language school, summer camps, etc, and somehow I ended up in defence industry and am now working as a business development/sales/marketing manager (it's a small company and one person has to take up on a lot of roles :p).
I don't have much in my life now except my wife, work and computer games. My wife is the centre of my life, been with her for 14 years and still feel in love. Work is interesting as we deal with all sorts of things, including things that go kaboom! When I'm not working or spending time with my wife it's all games - mainly eve, civilisation and football manager. I partied too hard in my teenage and twenties that I no longer want that life style.
So yes, during day time I'm in a company making weapons of minor destruction, and at night I'm blowing things up with my internet space ships. :p
And Ssabat, if you are reading this, yes I too have bi-polar disorder. Drugs ruined my life, but now it's saving my life and helping me function in a normal working environment.
Life is pretty good.

Honesty and honour; honesty in what I say and honour in keeping to what I say. Oddly idealistic sentiment but we all have our fantasies and I like thinking of those two as my core tenets.
I'm also a bit of a role player at heart so maybe there's that too and that I like being "one of the good guys". |

I'll be 30 in November just had my first kid in September. I used to manage bars in a college town. (I Miss wild college girls :( ..) currently I've switched careers from restaurant management to fixing cars at a dealership. I don't get laid nearly as much but the hours are great I get holidays and weekends off and I'm learning a really good trade for when the zombies break out. I'm also an American. I love guns and did I mention wild college girls? |
