OOC: meme!

(OOC: meme from beetiger).

Perplexingly, it seems that my journal is not entirely private. Fortunately, most of the people -- you people -- who can read it are far away from Vheshrame, and I suspect that some of you are not prime.

In any case, you know all about me. Perhaps you would be so kind as to tell me something about yourself?

Something about me? Well...I am...

[ionotter.livejournal.com]

...currently living on a pleasant, temperate blue planet in the Sol System, third from the sun. On this planet is a small archepelago in the middle and eastern fourth of the western hemisphere's ocean, known as the Pacific Ocean. This chain of islands is owned by the government of the United States, which is the central area of the northern continent at the borders of the eastern and western hemispheres, and it is this government I have chosen to serve as a military enlistee.

As befitting one of my nature, I serve my government as a communications engineer in the US Navy. I have been to sea for five of this planet's rotations around our sun, and am now enjoying the privelidges of serving on a "shore-based" station, which is far more stable than being on a ship at sea. I have been enjoying this "shore station" for three of this planet's revolutions around our sun.

I am currently residing on the third major island in the chain, known as Oahu. The town in which I call home is named Wahiawa, which in the tongue of the original inhabitants meant "Place of Thunder", and it was the favored residence of ancient royalty. The air is cool and pleasant, the growth of the mountains lush and the bounty of the soil rich and plentiful.

The people living here are the same as people anywhere I suppose...some are nice, some not so nice. I seem to get along with most, if not all of them.

I do not know what it means to be Prime, so I cannot say weather I am or not.

Since my joining my government's military services, I have been to the Mid East and caught oil smugglers, and chased internationally wanted criminal vessels to the very edge of international incident off Iranian territorial waters. I have shopped in the gold and spice souks of Dubai and enjoyed the hospitality of taxi drivers.

I've hiked the jungles of Thailand on foot and ridden the Outback of Australia on horseback. Hired my own motorboat up the waterways of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver and felt the sting of fresh snow on my face skiing down the slopes of Portillo in Santiago, Chile.

I have enjoyed the hospitality of the American Consulate in Suva, Fiji, and felt the Mana course through me as I raced the wind and rain on horseback on Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island. I've eaten the world of Asia at Lau Pa Sat and dined upon the fare of Europe in Antofagasta, Chile and Pattya Beach, Thailand.

I have traveled far, seen much, met many and STILL...

I know so very little and seek to know more. *grin*

What a small world... I also read sythyry's journal, live on that same ball of mostly water, and was once an emergency medical technician in that same Navy! Dude!
