Why Buescifiworm?

The tag bluescifiworm has a bit of a history behind it. Originally, I picked it because it was unique (you know how hard ti is to come up with something no one else has used as a online tag?). I chose it because of the following reasons.

1. I like the color blue
2. I love reading scifi book, specifically, Star Trek, Star Wars, Honor Harrington series (by David Weber), and Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series.
3. I'm a bit of a bookworm. Well, maybe a lot of a bookworm ;)

A bit of background

My name is Cailin. I am 28 years old. I just recently completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Tarleton State University in Horticulture and Landscape Management with a Business Administration minor. I also hold an Associate of Science in Graphic Design. Some may ask... "Why change fields?" Well, the answer for that is a tad bit complex. At the time I was working on my AS, Graphic Design was a highly sought after skill, and I found myself to be reasonably skilled with it. It is difficult, however to find a job when people are starting to be able to do this kind of work for themselves. I spent over a year looking without much success.

I then moved around a bit, finally ending up in Texas during the late summer of 2006. I did find some work, but it wasn't what I was really wanting, or what made good use of my skills. After that, I spent 6 months in AmeriCorps and then 8 months working for the IRS, then I decided to go back to school. My stint in AmeriCorps had rekindled my love for the outdoors that I'd had growing up.

Then, and Now

I won't bore you with all the details, but I think this degree will be of much more use to me. I've recently returned to the East Coast, and gotten involved in Pathfinders again... and it feels almost like I never left. That to me is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world... to be welcomed back by friends you haven't seen in well over half a decade, and it's like you never left.

One of the things that I'm really looking forward to is sharing my knowledge here on the wiki for other Pathfinders, staff, and Master Guides. I feel that is how I can minister in my own right.
