___________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.

And if I forget, because next month is a pretty far bit away.
Other than that, how are you?
/terrible at small talk
I may also buy your book next month. It looks like a good read. c:
I'll just be over here being a dumbass.
Also, I'm jealous of how much you've traveled. Just saying.
(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
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!
it's really cool that you've had such a great opportunity to do all that. I hope plans to go into Maritime Management works out well. I would assume the process is kinda being a pain now?
