I am a program assistant for a non-profit agency. I work on regional and state conferences that focus on community economic development.
At some point, I would like to become a program manager here for some cultural initiatives. This is pushing me towards getting a graduate degree in non-profit management.
I love that we are so diverse!

In real life? Well, I am a Corporate Travel Counsellor... that means I am a travel agent who deals with big-wigs from companies that have huge spending accounts to send their big-wigs to places like Calgary, Denver and Santa Clara...
This is a relatively recent gig for me though. I worked for 10 years in IT/software support in systems distribution. Anyone who has ever worked a Helpdesk will know that the politics, in-fighting, back-stabbing and general nonsense is the same no matter where you go. I have just discovered that those same traits are abound in travel too... lucky me!
I would like to drop this gig in favour of my real passion- writing, but alas, that is still a pipe dream until I can squirrel away more cashola.
I'm 33 years old and have enjoyed a lifetime of geekdom that started with Star Trek and all sorts of supernatural shows and books while growing up. I'm a die hard X-Phile but Joss and all he touches is top of the list, over-the-moon, fabulous.
I find it so wonderful that we have such splendid diversity... great tv brings the great together!
Ching-wah TSAO duh liou mahng. Shiny.

i'm a freelance writer, rusting away up here in portland, oregon. used to write poetry, but now i write mostly for corporations and non-profits.
never even heard of 'firefly' till i saw 'serenity.' bought the dvd set, fell in love, then into the many stages of loss - denial, anger, depression, etc. - once i found out fox had cancelled the show. felt like i was 3 years late to a really great wake. i long for what might have been like a meth addict.
what else. love my wife, our 5 cats, and our place in the woods. when i'm not writing, i'm watching tv or chilling outside with the crew or riding my motorcycle or cooking. oh, and i've watched the series and film so many times now i'm pretty close to being able to recite every line. pretty scary.

Astronomical Observer at Lowell Observatory...hopefully going back to school soon for the PhD, so I can call myself an Astronomer.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I'm a future librarian. After 11 years working in a bookstore, I moved back in with my parents and started attending community college working toward a BA in English Lit and then it's on to a Masters in Library Science. Only 5 more years of school to go....
Oh, and I work in a coffee shop to pay the bills.
We may experience some turbulence.. and then explode.

I'm an IT Trainer. I specialise in teaching absolute beginners how to turn the computer on, and that waving the mouse around in front of the screen doesn't work.
The pay is average, the hours are awkward, the people never listen ... it's the best job in the world

i'm a psychic dancing cowgirl witch faerie karate master jedi browncoat superhero rally driver who flies like a maniac and sings/plays drums/guitar with the best rock group in the 'verse. in other words, i'm a high school student with an overactive imagination, a sleep-deprived brain and sci-fi addiction.

'cause we are who we are, even if we forget, an' there ain't nothin' can change that.
my other coat is brown.
the most concrete evidence that there is intelligent life in the 'verse is that it hasn't tried to contact us.
-great, so you just eat my ice cream and take off?
-i knew you'd understand.

my brother, who has an uncanny sense of what I will like in terms of movies/tv, suggested I rent the Firefly DVD's a year ago (my family and I were living overseas when it first showed on Fox). I will never be able to thank him enough.
