MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 6:36 PMSo I was just curious as to what kind of professions we have on this site. I am impressed with a lot of the discussions regarding space/time travel/etc. So I was wondering if we have a bunch of astrophysicists or 30+ year-old men living in their parents' basement playing video games. ;)
I know this isn't technically Prometheus talk, but I wasn't sure where to start this thread.
OK....GO!

I find it difficult to believe anyone can be more excited about this film than I. Though I know that is probably the case. But man I AM PSYCHED!!!!!

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 7:46 PMHAHA this thread is hilarious. not sure if i fit in here.
i am a 20-something female comic book artist, but my pen name alter ego is male.
to make cash to pay for my art supplies i also make home made hand dipped candles used for voodoo rituals. i also sell certain fetish items online but i don't think i am allowed to elaborate on those here, lol.
i am a reptile enthusiast and have quite a few pets. lizards and turtles/torts are my favorite. i got my first box turtle when i was 4 years old and have had reptiles ever since.
i also have a couple furry pets that people find less horrifying, and im pretty into aquariums my favorite being brackish tanks. ive always been a fan of crustaceans, fiddler crabs waving around their claws will always get a chuckle out of me.

MemberFacehuggerMar-28-2012 9:13 PMI'm kind of a soldier in the U.S. Army. Technically, we are all riflemen first, but I'm actually an ASCP certified medical laboratory technician, so if I have to pick up a rifle they have overrun the FOB and shit just got REAL. I work at a blood donor center and I make sure that people who get wounded in DOD environments get the blood they need when they need it.
I have an amazing wife and four beautiful kids and I have been a fan of Alien since I was 9. It was mu first R-rated movie. I like movies and video games with great stories. I love mass effect and skyrim.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 10:11 PMI am a jack of all trades, master of none lol.
I have worked in a variety of fields including a spin as an officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Eventually I tired of that too and left to return to something I have have always held a special place in my heart for, and that is working with Senior Citizens as a Care Giver. What can I say, I am a much better care giver than a figher (though I was a damn good instructor)!
