I wrote this thinking I'd have a place to put it in my profile, but I guess I don't. So I'mma just post it here for now. Enjoy!
Well, if you're reading this I suppose you're actually interested in me or just bored out of your mind. Either way, I'll take a moment to entertain your mind. Where to start... Well, the basic facts I suppose. I'm a 23-year-old (birthday of January 15th, 1983) male who's currently attending technical classes in the Air Force. My job in the Air Force is “Satellite and Wideband Communicationsâ€Â. I entered the Air Force on December 13th, 2005. But all that stuff is boring
Personally, I try very hard to be a kind, generous, and trustful person. Some of my values are keeping an extremely open mind, being honest and open, and doing the best at what I love. I was born mentally handicapped but have made miraculous recoveries, but not without consequence. My mind has been in extremely dark places during extremely suicidal depression, to some of the brightest and happiest moments not everyone will experience. I try to learn from a broad spectrum and perspective my mind has been in, and make a difference with that wisdom. I'm still young though, and there's still an infinite amount of things to learn.
Dragons have always been a part of my life, back from childhood drawings and fascination in years that cant be remembered, to a little imaginary avatar and friend that resides in my mind today. Where did this fascination originate? I don't know, but it has taken me on quite a journey I call my draconity. I've gone from that fascination, to personifying it as a parallel life, to spiritual and exotic beliefs, to identifying myself as a dragon, and now my draconity is made of my own imagination. I have quite extensive experience with draconity and dragonkin; I essentially grew up with them. Am I a dragon? No. Do I have any spiritual or supernatural ties to dragons? No. Do I still have draconity? Yes.
I, Sylken at the time (and Archmage and Yeh`Taka even earlier), was introduced to this website in October of 2003 by a wonderful lady named Naya, who is now known as Desren. Though this website was no longer really new, I believe it was still finding its place among the sister dragonkin communities. I loved it, and called it a new home. It wasn't long until T-Sar-Goth appointed me as an Administrator of the community. And really, I re-discovered myself here with the support of my loved ones and friends. Draconomicon is my home, it is the place where I recovered from extreme depression and got back on a path to make something of my life.
I want this community to be a home to many people, and I'm working hard to make it that way. I want to take this community to be more than a common website, but develop strong bonds between the members and get involved in activities. My primary objective to accomplish this is comfort. I'm naturally a person who doesn't like rules, and I hope you find that the only rules I want on this site are actually laws enforced by the Canadian government. Other than that, well... you may find I'm one of the worst behaved members on the site! :) I also want to be very careful about the people who are allowed in our home as I know the more perspectives, the more conflicts, and hence the less comfort you find. I'm not trying to be an elitist community, but I would like to filter out people who can make the community uncomfortable for those who are already here.
