Secrets pt. 3
Hm. This just came to mind when thinking of the other topics...what does everyone here do (I mean occupation wise)? (Or, if you go to school).
Me, being true to my Samwise-ness, have been a Preschool Teacher's Aide for roughly 7 years, and am therefore surrounded by children....(though quite a few more than 13). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Quote:

I am a student, actress, and retail salesperson (hey- at least I am not in the actress/waitress stereotype!)
I also work at a living history museum during the summer - I get to dress up in period clothing, it's pretty cool! |

I am just a lowly high school junior from a nowhere school at the far end of forever, who hopes eventually to go to college and get a degree in Christian theology, so he can be a theology prof. I also happen to share Prof. Tolkien's dirty little secret: a love for invented languages! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Currently, I make my dineri as a musician/recording engineer in my home studio. Owned a BBS/Website dedicated to recording, but sold it last August. The bucks are decent, I make my own hours, and can afford to occasionally kick back and do SFA. I have an academic background in psychology, worked as a therapist for a while, burnt out, and decided to do something I actually love. Isn't that what midlife crises are for?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I weigh around 270...lbs, not kilos! Somewhere between 6'3" and 6'4". Depends how my spine is these days. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I'm a full time nerd, er, student in college. (I miss high school... It was so easy. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]) May be getting a job soon, but I don't know what it'l be,(it's a long story). Majoring in English, specifically writing. Eee! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And, though I can't learn other languages worth a darn, I do love the sound of them. I'm currently working on creating a believable accent for a Griffin. Anyone know where I can find a phoenetic list of sounds in the English language?

When I was in college, not to long ago, I hade 3 majors. Secondary Education with Forgien Language, Psychology, and Computer Science with Networking and Web Design. I am doing the computer stuff right now, though I would love to teach one day.
Foreign lanuages has been a love of mine since I was a child. I speak Spanish, some Japanesse, some Hebrew, and some Latin. I tried to study Biblical Greek for a while also.

I left school a few years ago and now work. My dream was to do music in my final year at school then go to the local college and do an NC (national certificate) in Sound engineering, a stepping stone to music college/university to study it proper. Unfortunately, my teacher in 4th year didnt let me do music, saying he didnt think i'd cope and besides, i needed TWO instruments, not one (and, the keyboard, which is my chosen intsrtument, isnt *quite* what he classes as an *musical instrument*. he's very pompus and totally up himself!) [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] So now i'm an admin assistant for a small accountants firm. How can a teacher be so dreadful as to destroy a pupils dream! Maybe one day i'll get it back [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Currently, I go to a strange place known only as 'school'. However, without any major disasters, in half a year I'll be a full-time Physics student.

Ok, I've usually avoided posting in the "secrets" threads, but I'm game now.
I'm a student (will be settling in at Duke University this fall, if everything works out with my financial aid). Hope to devote myself to English, Journalism, and Russian Studies. I work part-time at a coffee shop (very stereotypical, I'm aware), and occasionally act and model. 115 pounds as well. *High -fives Elven-Maiden*

It's hard to translate swedish school to american/english terms, but lets just say that I'm still in school, and when I'm about to chose the direction of my education for the coming three years I've chosen something with a lot of languages in.. even though I'm to tired right now to translate it into english.. ^_^ Oh, anyway.. When I grow up (to talk childish) I wanna become a journalist in some foreign country.. like.. uuumm.. New Zealand or Israel or anywhere.. ^_^

I dunno what I weigh but I'm pretty sure I'm closer to a hobbit than an elf. Somewhere in the 150+ area.

Samwise...
Should you know me? Well, perhaps you caught me in the Jacksonn Productions production of Guys & Dolls - oh wait... never mind... nobody's heard of them (save those people in downriver Detroit). Let's hope you will know me some day! I plan on going to California some day after schooling & pursuing this acting thing seriously (I got a nice spirit boost from my acting teacher today) - besides, all the cabbies in Chicago tell me I should be a movie star (they're scary!). It's too bad that the movies I would love to be in more than anything have already been made (hmm... I wonder which movies those could be!) OK, I've rambled enough! On another note - a theatre company around here did a stage version of Return of the King, I wonder what that was like? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] |
