Ok, I have been meaning to make one of these at some point as well. So here it goes.
Username: The Hammer (obviously). Meaning - Originally, I was part of a very short lived pair with my friend being here as The Sickle, and yes we were trying to draw a bad Communism parallel. We had both defected (ie. got banned 'multiple' times), from a '9/11 conspiracy theory (truther)/Christian-End-of-the-World' website; run by a nutter named Mark Dice (probably a pseudonym), that shortly shut itself down due to trolls. My buddy, almost never showed up here, and I stuck around, but never bothered to change my username. I've been in and out, on and off of the forums since 2010, but have slowly turned into a regular. And in a stroke of luck, I had a 'calling' to the Norse Gods, of which the Hammer is a symbol, and I now find it a lovely coincidence.
Name: You can find it through discord.
Country: USA, but I also lived in Japan for 4 years, and visted many Asian and Pacific countries, during my 10 yearstint in the Navy.
About me: I'm a 10 year Navy Veteran, and while I didn't enjoy 60% of my time in, I wouldn't trade the experiences for the World. Nothing beats the sky at night out to sea, or a sunset, or a sunrise (if you catch my drift). I was rated (job) as a Fire Controlman and ultimately did maintenance and repair on electronics and computers that managed the Tomahawk Missiles System. On the side I took on duties as a Maintenance Supervisor, worked the ships Armory on my duty days, and taught others to shoot during live fire exercises. Eventually, I ended my tour teaching introductory Sailors how to be and Act like Sailors, while the were living and going to their technical schools right after Boot Camp. This consisted of basically micromanaging 300 17-25 year olds, many of whom had just left home for the first time, through their day to day activities.
I've considered myself a Pagan and Druid for the last 15 and 13 years respectively. Although my devotion to the Gods has grown and, sometimes even disapated over time; it has ultimately been Strengthened through engagement and connection with others on this forum.
I am currently attending University, and it is taking up a large percentage of my time. I am studying Anthropology and minoring in Archaeology.
Political Views: Mostly Progressive, Left-Leaning, but fairly close to Moderate/Center, IMO.
Interests: Nature, Plants and Animals. Open World video games, mostly the Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect franchises. Listening to music. I also love to read, when I actually have the time to do so outside of school. I usually read non-fiction (science, psychology) , Religion, and Mythology, oh yeah RF is also mandatory reading for mods
.
Random fact: I have a dog named Loki, with whom I couldn't share a more Pure love for, and him in turn for me. Relax, I'm talking about Storge and Philia, or Familial, and Friendship love.
So, now that you've made it to the end, please feel free to ask me anything else.
