Hello, I'm Fortunato

[Totenkindly]

I'm married, with three children, and work as a technical writer... which I do mostly to pay the mortgage because I don't know exactly how to convert my other skills and creativity into a goldmine.

Over the long painful years, I have failed at writing a novel, publishing an inspirational book, becoming a professional songwriter and/or musician, kicking off a RPG company, becoming a cartoonist, and replacing the bathroom sink in my house without soaking down the floor.

Then again, I have succeeded at becoming a moderator here at MBTIc.

(So I suppose my doom is ensured.)

I tend to get into just about anything that seems interesting or quirky. When I'm not obsessed with working on my computer, posting on forums, or playing WoW, I actually enjoy long exploratory bike rides and arduous hikes, often by myself. If I had another life to live, I'd consider being an alpine climber.

My taste in books began with fantasy and horror but has mostly dropped into non-fiction titles in fields such as psychology, philosophy, personality theory, biography, random science, mythology and folklore, culture, and whatever catches my eye. I am also an excellent bluffer, convincing people I know things about books and posts I have never actually read in totality.

To conclude, I chose Stefani as my Apprentice pick, and she won, so I'm rather satisfied with my life for the next 20 minutes.

Welcome!

For the Love of God !

Um. You're scaring me just a little, but welcome!

I guess next time I write a bio, I should tell the truth?

It's just the Apprentice thing . . . :eek:

S'okay. I'll get over it.

It's just the Apprentice thing . . . :eek:

This season sucked. It used to be interesting -- I enjoyed analyzing the personalities and how they interacted, and trying to guess who would come out on top.

Now the shows seems more campy and irrelevant; and without Carolyn and George to give Trump some anchor, his gut-instincts don't seem to be as honed.

Hi Fortunato.... it seems that where you go I follow....

I wonder if the adoption process is valid here?

Hello Fortunato!

[Xander]

Hey Fortunato, I never knew you were a brother of the dice! Cool.

Hey Fortunato, I never knew you were a brother of the dice! Cool.

Yes, should you make a Charisma skill check to see if I fell for this attempt at solidarity, or do I need to make a saving throw at -5?

(You better hope I don't succeed, or you will feel the crushing pain of my 5d8 mod edit function.)

... boy, that sounded geeky...
