Greetings to you all. I have recently stumbled upon this forum once again and don't know why I have not joined in before. I have enjoyed reading many of your posts (especially those of my fellow INTJ types), and I hope to learn more about you all as time goes onward.

A small bit about me:
INTJ
Origin: Chicago USA
Favorite Film: Hauru no Ugoku Shiro (Howl's Moving Castle)
Favorite Book: Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card)
(Lord of the Rings is a close second)
Current Book: Rendezvous with Rama (Arthur C Clarke)
Favorite Music: Boston Pop's Orchestra playing "Legend of Zelda"

I am a fan of epic anime and have been watching Naruto again recently.

I am a rocket scientist by trade... no joke. I specialize in computational astrodynamics (ie running computer simulations on satellite dynamics and controls), and am currently finishing my master's degree. I believe it to be my calling in life (though I am starting to grow weary of school).

Favorite past-times:
- Formulating and expanding my worldview by the introduction of a unique and concise personal lexicon.
- Reading speculative fiction (mostly science fiction but also fantasy)
- I-Go which I consider to be the perfect game for INTJ's

- Studying Japanese language and culture
(Omoshiroii mo tanoshii da yo! Demo, muzukashii da. Dareka wakaru ka?)
- Swordplay (fencing) both western and eastern (though I don't often get the chance these days)

Foremost, I am curious to compare notes with my kindred spirits on the forum (especially the rare gems that are the INTJ women! :wink. I thought I would introduce myself properly before jumping in.

Now, though I am used to being 'poked', as it were, any questions for me?
