Personal background
Hey there! This profile is subject to change since this is just a rough draft. Anyways, now that I've said that, on with the show! I'm a Scorpio in the American Zodiac, being born Nov. 16th. I'm 20 yrs. old & was born, raised, & am currently living amongst the appalachian foothills of southeastern Kentucky. I have a pet dog named Fanci & a boyfriend named Jason. :) At the moment I am attending college. This would've been my 2nd yr., but I took a break from school, so instead it's my 1st. I am just taking basics right now since I have yet to choose a career. I have been thinking about what I want to do for a career since I was 5 or younger, but I still haven't made up my mind! While my childhood dream was to be a writer, I doubt that I could support myself (much less a family) as an author/poet. I still plan to continue writing & am not giving up on that dream, but I plan to do it on the side and pursue a career in another area I am interested in. I'm considering going into something that involves working with animals or/& the ocean. A couple of my hobbies and interests include music, writing, swimming, walks in nature, rocks & gems, the "supernatural", genealogy, mermaids, dancing, gardening, playing billards (pool), culture, unique lights & mirrors, movies, science (HUMANE science, that is), astronomy, sci-fi-, fantasies, festicals, RPG's, & much more! A couple last minute tidbits I could throw in are that I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, I play a little piano, & since this is my Seti@home profile, perhaps I should mention that I have seen a UFO. :) And I have been interested in extraterrestrials for a long time.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I definetly believe that there is extraterrestrial life out there. If I didn't I wouldn't be running your program. With all the planets and solar systems that exist...and with the infinitness of space,, it seems to me unlikely that Earth would be the only planet with some sort of life on it. Even on a planet without oxygen or the other things deemed necessary for life, or on a planet much hotter or colder than our own, how can we say that there couldn't be a life form there that was suited to that environment or that didn't follow the "rules"? Perhaps what we say things need for life, is not needed by all life, but only by the life forms that we are aware of. Life and nature break rules all the time. Besides, even if an Earth like planet was necessary to support life, I believe that there are probably several Earth like planets floating around out there somewhere. What kind of life would it support? Who knows. It may be really small and simple like bacteria or ameoebas. Maybe it'll be a plant. Maybe it'll be an animal of some sort, that is far from humanoid or maybe it'll be very much like ourselves. Maybe it'll be more advanced than us even. The possibilities are endless. If the extraterrestrials are advanced beings we could benefit by being able to gain knowledge from them. Also, perhaps we could work on scientific & other endeavors together. Of course thered be risks involved. Even if the extraterrestrials were more advanced than us that doesn't mean they'd be more peaceful. They could treat us cruelly & likewise, mankind might treat them cruelly instead. We also might get new diseases from them or give new diseases to them (it's possible). Also, if we start exchanging plants or animals we might introduce foreign species to their planet or they introduce them to ours which could cause problems just as introducing non native species to other diff. areas of Earth causes problems. If we transmitted a beacon for others to find, it would increase the likelyhood of contact being made sooner if
