Who are you anway?

[MrFun]

. . . beyond the usual political ideology that you follow, or whatever philosophical view you take on life and humanity.
Besides the viewpoints you take on the usual issues discussed over and over on Apolyton, who are you?

Family background: I am the youngest of the five children with one older brother, and three older sisters. My father worked all his adult life at John Deere, and enjoyed only a year of retirement before dying from a stroke six years ago. My mother is alive and well.

Religion: I was raised Catholic, but now, I'm a non-active Christian, considering becoming Episcopalian.

Work/School: I graduated this past May with a Bachelor of Arts in History, and did very well. Now, I'm looking forward to my great internship program and graduate courses at Eastern Illinois University this fall.

I also lived all my childhood in a rural town of only 300 people, which was predominantly Catholic.
I moved out a year after coming out to my family and friends -- not because they disowned me, but because I can breathe easier in a larger town/city.

I have interest in chess, movies, reading fantasy fiction although have lacked time for that the past year, and I enjoy walks in parks.

I also have a great interest in history of American Civil War, and contemporary issues concerning homosexuals. I have other interests that include human prehistory, wildlife, and fictional writing.

With fictional writing, I usually delve into fantasy, or historical fiction. Right now, I'm working out a background idea for a fantasy novel.


So, how about yourself?

I lived all my life in Viña del Mar, a coastal city, 150km at the north of Santiago. Is the 3rd biggest city of Chile, but anyway doesn't have too much of population, only 350.000 people. (Santiago have more than 6 million).

I have interest on Advertising (do'h! ) I really love it, and communication and marketing in general. I love everything about medias and new tecnologies.

I love to write. I'm a bit of journalist and I made public some of my work (that are kind of politics analysis) on a mayor newspaper from here, El Mercurio.

I almost forgot it.. I also love Civ

[DRoseDARs]

David Allen Rose

Stats:
5'7"
115lbs (unhealthily underweight, should be 135-145lbs my age/height; gonna get help soon though)
22yrs starting April 27, 1981
Scotish-English-French-German ancestry (Rose Clan from Kivlrock(sp?), Scotland)
Heavily near-sighted plus astigmatism (anything beyond 1 inch from my nose is a blur); can wear contacts - and have - but just barely on the fringes of what is mass-produced by the major companies. Laser surgery might be considered in 10 years, but not right now.
EDIT:
Hazel eyes (in normal light, but green is also present)
"Red" hair (mixture of reds, browns, blonds)

Family:
Only-child. Know next to nothing about biological father (difficult to get reliable, non-contradictory info out of my mom). Mom, Laurie, and stepdad, Richard, both brought up in Christian environment, but not to the level of fanaticism. Once they left their homes, they stopped going. Mom looks in a bible from time-to-time. Mom is the youngest of three: Sharon, eldest, lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband Jim and their son Andy. Brian, middle, lives outside Denver, Colorado with his wife Marylyn (sp?) and their son Ben. I'm the oldest of the three Rose sons. Grandma through my mom lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. Grandpa died LOOONG before I was born. Stepdad is middle of 3 boys. Charles, eldest, lives outside Chicago with his wife and their kids (3, I think) are all growedup and have their own families. Gary, youngest, is in Fresno, California. Chronic junkie, constantly trying to clean himself up. Currently stable... Their mother died a 6-7 years ago, and their father died many years before that.

EDIT: And our cat, Samantha. She came to us as a stray in February of '92 (I think) when she was about 1 year old. She's still highly active, but her years are starting to show...

Speak/have education in:
English (native), Spanish, French, Hebrew

Religion:
Taoist - not religion, philosophy

Politics:
Registered Democrat (bleh), prefer Green at the polls, not above voting for a Republican here and there. Social: Liberal, Economic: Socialist, Government: Authoritarian (think "Philosopher Kings" but mixed with a healthy dose of proper Democracy)

Education:
Completed an Associates of Art (General Studies aka "Dummy Degree"); goes towards part of Architecture studies at Truckee Meadows C.C. transfering after 2 years to UofNV, Las Vegas. Currently going for Masters Degree in Architecture, but leaning towards Urban Planning et al.

Residence:
Born in Chicago, Ill. for first 5 years of life then moved to Reno, NV in July of '86. Second largest city of Nevada after Vegas...which isn't saying much considering Fallon is the 3rd largest "urban" area that is mostly a farming community near a military airbase. Last I heard, Reno was at 300,000 some-odd people within city limits, 500,000ish in the surrounding area. I live in the southern reachs of the Truckee Meadows outside city limits.

Interests:
Civ series (naturally), MoO series, SimCity series; Sci-Fi, plenty of cartoons that have adult humor undertoning the kids stuff (Powerpuff Girls for instance), South Park, Looney Toons, more grownup-type stuff like ER, Monster Garage et al.;Architecture, urban planning, humanitarian projects; Sci-Fact, emerging technologies (though stuff involving the inner workings of computers baffle me me=terrible at math), space tech et al.; politics to a degree, but don't allow myself to blow a gasket over any aspect of it (muted interest a la Taoist philosophy).



And I'm told I'm "long-winded" at times.
