Welcome to Gaia! ::

You can call me Nom for convenience. My username may make it obvious to some of you that I'm currently studying economics. I'm 25 and also studied visual arts and music (piano) before.

I like to read books mostly on philosophy and psychology. On the philosophy front, it's mostly social philsophy and ethics for now. As for psychology, it's some of the older stuff like Freud, Lacan, Harry Sullivan Stack....

As one of the many VCs in this guild, expect me to be rather easygoing and seldom use my powers. I also have spurts of periods when I'm extremely active and periods when real life takes over for a few weeks. I'm all for people disagreeing with me and offering me shiny new points of view. Just be civil, thorough and rational. wink

Hello. You can call me by pretty much whatever you wish. I prefer Devil's Advocate, but so long as I know that you are talking to me, I dont really mind if you come up with something else. And though I am captain, you neednt treat me any differently. I will not ban or demote you simply because we have conflicting views on things. I will ban or demote you if you insult, belittle, or otherwise bully any of the members of this guild, no matter the position I have put you in.

I like to read, fantasy and science fiction mostly, I enjoy using my computer, and I am quite an avid gamer. I play the piano, though not very well, sadly. I used to play trumpet and guitar, but I have lost all skill in both instruments.

I am currently in high school, junior year, and hope to attend Cornell after I graduate next year to get a degree in animal biology, then hopefully a masters in genetics.

I am easy going, but I do not take well to insults. so long as you dont yell at me, I wont yell at you. If you wish to prove me wrong, then please do so in a way that wont insult me, as you will make me angry, and I might well turn into the kind of persno I created this guild to avoid.

I enjoy talking about most scientific things, especialy genetics, and do not enjoy politics or religion, since I have heard, and been insulted by, both far too many times in my lifetime to want to deal with any mroe of either.

My best quality is my ability, so I am told, to make people feel better, feel wanted. Im not sure how I do it, but apparently I do.

Also, I write too much for my own good, and ramble on enough to annoy even myself. I shall end now, and release you all from the torment of reading my overly stretched post.

I liked to be called whynaut. In real life I am a 22-year-old college student majoring in English. Normally, I like to just keep to myself or enjoy myself with my girlfriend and small group of close friends. But online, I am a far more flamboyant. Here, I consider myself a crusader for the postmodern condition for everything in life and unlife. I also have the annoying habit of always thinking that I am right when posting online, but that is only because in RL I never do sweatdrop .

I enjoy scifi, postmodern philosophy, religion (in the academic sense), comedy, and a (surprisingly) growing admiration for Shakespeare.

But most importantly, my love of stories pervades everything I do. Whether it is fictional stories, or the stories weaved in arguments, or most importantly the lives we live which evaporate into nothing but stories themselves.

Hi. I'm Rilian. One L. I believe that you can get to know me better by reading my posts than by listening to me attempt to explain myself.

I was invited here by NomNomNominal.

hey hey; morberticus, in my early twenties, love science (except psychophysics.. psh..)

I'm Lethargic Robot. I came up with that name because I looked up sleepy in the thesaurus. You may also call me A.J., my real life nickname. I'm pretty sure nobody is going to try to track me down and rape me. I'm 18 years old and learning automated programing, although I really want to join the Marine Corps.

I have a broad spectrum of interests. Just to name the big ones: I love physics and chemistry, as well as interesting and new technology. I enjoy reading science fiction, military thrillers, horror, and the under appreciated art of short stories. I enjoy writing stories or just recording my take on various subjects.

I'm laid back, keeping calm when others may not.

Hey guys! I'm Aeriell... yeah, it's really my real name. I like it and I was feeling too lazy to come up with something else. Anyway- I'm 24 years old and a proud culinary degree holder. Cooking is my passion, plain and simple, but I deeply enjoy many other things as well! I'm a self-professed bibliophile, I enjoy discovering new music, watching anime, watching movies, and many other various things that escape me at the moment. Hah! Some introduction..

I would say one of my best qualities would have to be that I keep such an open mind about just about anything. I guess that's probably a product brought on largely by my parents' rather liberal parenting tactics. They're awesome and I owe them big time. heart heart

Sooo... that's a bit about me, for better or for worse. I look forward to some nice, intelligent discussions!
