| Cyberpunk | Cyberpunk | Belief | ||
| Dune | Dune | Belief | I'm currently reading the prequels: Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, The Machine Crusade and Battle of Corrin. Never read the original books, but have watched all the movies and love all the ideas coming from these EPIC tales. I recommend Dune followers if you have not already, to read those books I mentioned.. absolutely amazing and delves so deep into the Dune ideas and past.

| Gay (LBGTQ) Rights | Gay (LBGTQ) Rights | Belief | I personally am Bisexual, but am in a Heterosexual monogamous relationship at the moment...but I stand strong for Gay(LBGTQ) rights. I've participated in Gay Pride festivals here in my city, and love seeing the huge community of people that are all in it together. | |
| Nanosolar: the future of energy | Nanosolar: the future of energy | Belief | That product is absolutely amazing! | |
| Quit Smoking | Quit Smoking | Belief | My other half and I were both smokers and quiting cold turkey was a terrible option. We recently discovered Electronic Cigarettes and haven't touched a cigarette since. They deliver nicotine in levels of your own choice - by oils that you buy and drop into a cartridge. the Electronic cigarette works like a fog machine with an atomizer that vaporizes the oil you put in the cartridge. You pull on the Personal Vaporizer and you get nicotine and a "smoke" and the oral fixation that keeps you in the habit of smoking cigarettes. Check out this link where we bought ours at (we bought the Joye 510 kit and the DSE901 kit) www.heaven-gifts.com
Do as much research you can on the product before you purchase, it'll do you good! I don't have a craving at all for a cigarette and already feel much healthier switching to this device - all the ingredients in the oil are approved for human consumption! No tar! No pollution! No yellow teeth! No lingering smell! I'm trying to spread the word to help people stop smoking and start vaping! (You can lower your nicotine levels and completely get off of nicotine if you like - there are zero nicotine oils out there made for personal vaporizers.) I hope this can help you! | |
| Grey Goo - Machine Cancer | Grey Goo - Machine Cancer | Interest | I love the ideea of Nano Technology and its such a curiousity to me. I love this idea of Grey Goo - Machine Cancer... its a ponderous idea and I really wonder if something like that really could happen.. The idea makes sense that yes, if all that a machine is programmed to do is to copy itself, it could get out of hand and become destructive.. another thing to worry about when trying to use nano technology as a non destructive treatment for something in the first place. Curious what others think ? | |
| Hack Yourself | Hack Yourself | Interest | I've always been interested and curious about this. I believe the only way to really hack yourself is by training yourself, pushing yourself out of habitual life and doing things you normally wouldn't do to better yourself.
Would love to learn more about this idea. |
Personal Skills
| My Skill | Skill Group | Category | Details | Edit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Climbing | Climbing | Skill | I'm an excellent rock climber, but can also effectively climb trees, urban objects, etc. My climbing preference is Top Rope climbing, but I also really enjoy bouldering, traversing, and lead climbing. I believe it is an essential skill for an outdoor mission. It has many advantages against an enemy that cannot climb.
| |
| Computing | Computing | Skill | I can tackle a computer with almost any type of OS. Not quite a programmer, but am learning as it will be a requirement for a skill I'm working on: Engineering. I'm decent with scripting, but nothing near dealing with code. I practiced C# at one point in my life and I enjoyed it quite a bit...too bad its so limited to Windows OS. I'm an opensource user with computing and believe in the power of open source products, software, etc.
I use my computer as a tool...hence why I am here. | |
| Creative Thinking | Creative Thinking | Skill | Creative thinking is essential for my everyday life and interaction with other human beings in many different life situations. This skill is one of my best - I love looking at any idea and thinking, thinking, thinking... until many different creative results arise.
| |
| Driving Manual | Driving Manual | Skill | My first car was a 5-speed and my father taught me over night how to drive efficiently using that type of transmission. I find it very useful because it opens up soo many more possibilities - especially if for some reason, during an end of world type of emergency, you can find yourself in any vehicle capable to drive, and you'll know how to drive it.
I pride myself on knowing how to drive manual, and am a woman driving manual. :) | |
| Gaming | Gaming | Skill | I would definitely consider myself a gamer, but not as much as my time is dedicated to it. I enjoy intelligent gaming, but I have been a WoW nerd once in my life and wasted many hours and didn't get anywhere. Now, Fallout ... that game. Fallout 2 and 3 are the only series of the trilogy that I've been 'blessed' to play. I love the new Fallout extension... it feels so realistic and its definitely an intelligent game. No, you don't have to think much, but you do have to act..and sometimes act fast. I just wish the game lasted longer with the major quest. It is a huge world to explore.
I am not a "n008" but I also don't claim myself as '1337' either. I have other things in life I'm pursuing to not worry about being an elitist in gaming.

| Gun Safety | Gun Safety | Skill | Still have much to learn, but have taken a basic gun safety month long class - required class before getting a hunting license.
Because of that class, I am very responsible around guns and around many other dangerous objects. Very excited to learn more on this page of Gun Safety skills. | |
| HTML | HTML | Skill | I definitely have much more to learn, but I've worked with HTML, XHTML, Java script, and CSS for personal use and minor project use for clients. It's a very useful skill here on the Internet to promote something, or speak out to the world.
With much more to learn, I have a good basic understanding to the mark up language. | |
| Lucid Dreaming | Lucid Dreaming | Skill | Still a prominent skill of mine, lucid dreaming has kept my mind constantly thinking, wondering, knowing... keeping my creative mind up to par. Lucid dreaming is an amazing skill, delving into a part of your mind that not many are able to control...just watch. hmm...kind of like TELEVISION! (TV steals life, controls peoples lives...takes imagination away from human beings...) | |
| Sanitizing | Sanitizing | Skill | I hate being a walking billboard for corporations. I love sanitizing all my gear - I even sanitize my sanitizing black marker. It is no longer a "Sharpie" it is a permanent marker... Mindshare is horrible.. for example, most of us call tissues, "Kleenex" and those little sponges that have a rough side to them that are green, most call those "Scotch brite" pads, etc. There is so much mindshare out there, I break myself of the mindshare habits everyday - I get embarassed at myself if I catch myself calling a product or tool by its mindshare name... Like how most people call a multitool a "Leathermen" even if its not by that company! I sanitize shoes, clothes, bath and kitchen products - my shampoo bottle and conditioner bottle have been stripped of their logos and replaced respectively with "S" for shampoo and "C" for conditioner.
Sanitizing does so much to people, it helps break the mindshare habit and keeps you from being tracked or a free marketing campaign for corporations!
Sanitize!! | |
| Math | Math | Need To Learn | I have a pretty good understanding of math, but have become quite rusty in advanced math and NEED to relearn! Going into engineering, this skill is essential to me... Its been a difficult process relearning the math that has gone hiding in my mind...but it will re awaken hopefully soon. | |
| Engineering | equity mortgage corporation | Want To Learn | Planning to start my education process to begin the engineering skills - it will be very challenging and definitely a struggle...yet it will be worth it indeed. My original plan was to stubbornly only pursue Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering...which I recently learned is only a sub field of Mechanical Engineering which will open up many more doors that just AA Engineering. Mechanical Engineering skills can be used in everyday life, survival situations, and to better thyself and the world, hopefully, with an Engineering breakthrough.
4 years of schooling will be approaching to begin this path... | |
| DIY Gearmaking | DIY Gearmaking | Want To Learn | I constantly am thinking of many different ideas for gear that I can design/make on my own. I've altered pouches for different uses, but hoping to make my own with all different modules I acquire. I am a woman, and most gear is made for men readily available to purchase, so my desire is very strong to make my own gear.
I'm hoping to learn valuable information on how to start into this skill. | |
| DVORAK Typing | DVORAK Typing | Want To Learn | I'm very curious about this... and would one day love to learn how to DVORAK type. I'm very proficient using the current standard QWERTY so I'm not sure how great the transition would be or how difficult it would be to learn. My typing speed is pretty admirable, though not elite - @ 70-80 wpm...
Very curious. | |
| Sword play | Sword play | Want To Learn | I've discovered I need this skill...especially in a zombie apocalypse...or something similar.. I especially found out I need this skill when I was brutally slaughtered in a foam sword match with my other half... he kicked my ass, with a foam sword and no way was I able to even touch him. (he has training, by the way... of fencing and ju do.) |
