About Me

(text last updated 3 May 2013)

___________

Hello! I'm Q. You can call me Q or B, doesn't matter. I come off kind of intimidating in the forums, but really I am super approachable, I promise! Feel free to PM or comment me.

I joined Gaia on Jan 31, 2004. I'm now 25 years old. I've done a lot with my life.
I have experience with horses, teaching, mentoring, and all sorts of random odd jobs.
I've traveled to many places around the world.
I have a degree in video production. I've been editing video as a hobby since 2002. I had a brief professional stint before deciding to keep it a hobby.
I joined the US Navy later and got out in August 2012. I did several things there. Worked as an emergency first responder (for damage control), security guard, AV tech, solder tech, and briefly as a consult for AFN Sasebo (Japan).
I've done freelance writing, videography, graphic and web design. I've illustrated two children books and written my own novel.

I've lived in Georgia (USA), Florida (USA), and Sasebo (Kyushu, Japan). When in the USN, I was on a forward deployed amphibious assault ship, out to sea 200+ days a year.

I currently live in New York, but am trying to go to Finland for a degree in Maritime Management, to become a master mariner.

I've done a lot with my life so far but I have yet to decide exactly how I want to continue. Ever since I left the Navy, I've felt kind of lost, really. At the moment, I am most concerned with experiencing new things. I like to listen to people's stories about how they live and what they do.

I gotcha.
Yeah I was thinking maybe the 'Cry Harder' was supposed to have something to with the rain or something.
Do people really make a big deal out of this stuff? It's not like he's even doing it out of laziness. If he's giving a speech it will probably help if he can use both of his hands.

I don't understand your sig.
What's going on in it?

I'll leave a review if I can, since I've met (online, at least) the person that wrote it. I'm not much for reviews, though, so excuse me if it's a bit... amateur.
And if I forget, because next month is a pretty far bit away.

Other than that, how are you?

Ah, I'm not sure of my opportunities at the moment, but thank you for making me think of it that way.
I may also buy your book next month. It looks like a good read. c:

Well, I meant mentally. Oops. >_>
I'll just be over here being a dumbass.

Also, I'm jealous of how much you've traveled. Just saying.

If your priority is learning new things, I'd say that's a grand way to continue.

Thanks Bornes!

(I'd be lying if I said that I didn't love your avatar and drew on it for some inspiration)

Captcha reads "yeah right" lol

I've heard that Japanese is such a pain to learn. I'm a little shocked you aren't fluent in it just because you've been there for so long. Maritime management seems like a really cool job to do. I'm glad you don't mind putting in schooling for it. Lots of people I know seem to have a problem with college nowadays. Please let everyone know if the acceptance letter comes!
But really, great luck to you for everything you're doing! and if I have some spare change (broke college girl atm) then i'll be sure to buy your book!
