I have a daughter who is 12, got tons of nieces and nephews hopping around like rabbits. We live on an acre of plum, apple and kiwi trees overlooking the Pacific Ocean here at greys county Washington. Our idea of a fun time is to run around on the beach in 18*F weather while its raining, which is considered our summer . However, this year as of 2015 we had a weird hot summer with 90-110F temps which made the beach quite unpleasant. Our laid back style, and our duty to tend our family, and friends, makes us a quite welcoming folk.

Hi Jyosef and welcome to the application process.

Before I let the others ask their questions and stuff, can you elaborate more on your previous guilds and a little more on why you chose Dreams?

No questions from me since you have Joseph in your name which makes you a cool person in my book. #Josephmastername

Good luck on the rest of the application!

Welcome to the Dreams application process, love! I'm here to happily confirm my referral of Jyosef of whom is one of my dearest and oldest friends on here. She's been a wonderfully positive, helpful, and fun presence in the long period I've played this game . She is a incredibly smart, easy-going, and quirky individual who is an easy person to joke around with if ever there was one. I think to add a lovely touch of light-heartedness to the guild that is easily found in her easy-going nature.

Dear Dreams,

Thank you for the lovely replies and compliment as it helps to inflate my ego. (weapon).
Previous guilds.

First it was Hunterz, it was a big guild ran by a tyrannical pedophile whom hit on me number of occasions and sent me notes of which were very much inappropriate. As such who doesn't appreciate such lewd behavior and disturbing vision and degrading on the sexes, decided to leave Hunterz and leave them to their own demise. (2008)

Joined SvenDust / SevenDust been so long don't remember how it was spelt, but Najeexx might remember the correct spelling . We were a lovely bunch of friendly quirky group that had fun. As time went on, people got busy, others got married, and soon the guild slowly disappeared in the shadows of time and neglect. Sadly the guild disbanded but the times we had will always be remembered. (2009 Approx)

Heretic was a brief guild and don't remember much except that it was right before quitting when moving to America. Quit for 2 years and it was that time when my char faded from the guild roster.

Aspire ran by some good friends Tomoshio and few others. Good group, had fun , sadly it was very under active and the guild went into an inactive state with unpaying subscription.




Why Dreams.
To play with friends, to help others in any way one can possibly do their their skills.
To possibly find a place/guild to exercise her reasoning as to why she ranked and mastered Tailoring and weaving. To convince oneself that the time was well spent . (Why Nexon you hate tailoring so much, we need some love).

Addition to accomplishments.
Accomplishments: Accomplished curing A.D.D , but resulted in strengthening my O.C.D

Hello welcome to Dreams Application process!
Questions:
You stating that one of the reasons to join its because your friends are here, what if Dreams is not what you expecting?
Tai and Naje have been in the guild for a long time they probably won't but what if they chose to leave Dreams?
What are you in game goals?
How you feel about sexual jokes?

PD.

XD

I'm dead; someone get a phoenix feather.

If Cyborg001, Tairiku and or Najeexx leaves the guild, welp, will just have to fashion meself a lasso; wrestle me some mabinogians, and drag them back.

As for sexual remarks, theres a time and place for everything. If its clever, humorous, and fits the conversation at hand with a sarcastic flair, then sure, but, ill-placed, then it's simply inappropriate.

Game goals would be to revive Tairiku with a party feather.

Game goals is to help anyone whom is within my power to do so. Not for gain or glory but in the light of those who truly need help. A simple goal and a long term goal that has kept me going for this entire time.

OMG jo is royalty totally didn't know that

A random question i must know is...
what is your favorite fruit?

Peaches because, they make the best liquor.

Actually my fave fruit is Pomegranate.

Oops sorry for the double post. That was weird.

Wow Josephine you sound pretty accomplished. And royalty too! This was how I was feeling when I was reading your application. xD

It's truly amazing how you find time to do your work, tend to your family and still be good at this game. You even have a 12 year old daughter! Most people who had teen pregnancies experience poverty. You must have been really lucky or privileged. I'm curious about your story lol xD

You don't have to share that here ofcourse. Perhaps we can talk sometime.

Anyway, I think you have really good application going on. You seem to have good friends here already and since you sound like an amazing person I don't think you'll have problems adjusting or contributing. =P

I have a hypothetical question for you. If you learn that our reality is the same as in "The Matrix" where everyone and every place you know are in a simulated world and where the real world is a actually a shitty place. Would you choose to keep living in the simulated world as you are right now or would you want to live in the real world where humans have become an endangered species because of the living conditions? Explain why.

Good luck on your application Josephine!

Aww thank you for the lovely compliment and don't be so depressed as my life has not been an easy one and is also full of conflict and many many times of stress. My life has been a real roller-coaster throughout my life.
My parents are both retired airforce of whom worked in both in the military as officers and as a private contractor working with the military. They worked with and in base, command operations, and third world civil operations and essentials. Every 18-24 months sometimes 36 months they would be called under re-stationing in another country usually one of conflict. There they would assume, and establish new operations of command if there is any, they would assume and basically redesign it for proper functions. Their second job through private contracting was they were contracted to go in and assign and reestablish civil order of function. This means that they would make sure the basic needs were met such as shelter, and food. Food being the ability to have a productive yield in places that may be arid or nonfunctioning agriculture. Much like the Navy does "sea-bees (cb), my parents would go into third world urban setting and attempt to create or develop a means of survival. This was not an easy task as much of the places were under duress and many of which sought to bring violence as a common means on the street. They had no choice but to bring many of us along with them which were often hostile zones, however as one must think it was no place for children. Most these places, children were abundant. This gave us the opportunity to appreciate the little things in life and to appreciate the world around us, gave us the skills and the hardship to carry on with our lives into the future.

Born in Texas, and just at the age of 2 weeks , my parents were called to Okinawa where we lived for the next 7 years. After that my dad was called to Cairo Egypt and my mom stayed in Okinawa to continue work. While in Egypt we stayed in a small village just outside of Cairo on a military camp where airforce was the main operators. Very found of Egypt especially Cairo as the people are lovely, nice and very neutering. They welcomed us and took care of us, only at the age of 7 but old enough to see the kind heart in those around. sadly one drawback was the mosquitos as they are terrible there, and malaria was a common contraction, and the water wasn't the most sanitary. As with malaria , dysentery is also a common ailment, both of which are potentially deadly. Hospitalized for 11 months after contracting malaria. At the age of 10 we moved to America where we all attended American schools. Our lives calmed down quite a lot after that, at the age of 16 we went on vacation after many years of work, we needed the break. While on break in Ireland, stuff happened. 9 months later a week before my 17th birthday, had my first child, a girl. Named her Yuki as her hair was snowy white. Shes been a blessing ever since. Never went to highschool, instead just continued to work and study on the side. Went for the entrance exam at the local college and got in at the age of 17. Continued to work in mural restoration and study on my spare time, worked towards my bachelor in art in architecture while working with a company that restored murals on historical sites. Got really good grades and this landed me a decent scholarship in architecture, was able to afford a masters because of it. The company decided to outsource me and was picked up by a small rural city in Japan called Yamagata, nanyo. After that spent the next 3 years working in urban development in city planning office there. My daughter continued school and was accepted in a school back in America for Chinese immersion, decided to decline my renewal of my contract and move back to America. Couldn't find a job here in architecture unless going private contract work. Wasn't willig to do that so decided to go back to school , but this time study neuroscience. Had already had my science courses pretty much fulfilled, only matter of the classes that were neuroscience respected that was required. Worked towards my bachelor which went fairly quick, then my masters, then for my doctorate, spent 2 years writing my thesis on Autism and ADHD. Was accepted, and received my certification in Neurobiology. Not a practicing medical doctor but a researcher, the difference is that a researcher cannot administer pharm-medicine, and a researcher tends to get paid less . However was very lucky and got a job in working with prosthetics, mainly neuroprostetics such as arms, hands, and artificial legs. A long road, not an easy one and have seen things that not many should see, and things have happened to me that no human should need to ever experience. However one will eventually hit a crossroad and must decide. Decide to endure and live or end the misery, a tough choice and ultimately change everything. the hardest choice is to continue and endure, however it helps to know that there are those around that will provide their love and support so should you ever fall. Even times when you may think your alone, your never truly alone.

This guy is biased. Benched.

Hi Josephine,

Thank you for sharing that. Your story was pretty interesting.

I'm interested to know more but I don't think it's best you share too much personal details here since this part of the forum can be seen by anyone. =P

Feel free to answer my other question if you're comfortable regarding the hypothetical "matrix senario". xD

Matrix:
One comes at a crossroad and has to choose, to continue as they are, or make the choice and dive into the uncertain. Truth as it is, the premises of the concept would you live a lie, or bare the pain of the truth? Would argue that the truth would be more painful as when your living a lie your basically living in a prison, the walls around you are not real thus has no meaning. The real pain would be the fact that no matter what you do, it isn't real so a dream as it may seem from the outside would be the nightmare for those inside. Will always face the truth because the truth is easier to understand than a lie.

Dreams and Tomoshio question:
Have no loyalty or rather bias that disregards the logical sense. Regardless of a friend or not, if she breaks a rule or causes a conflict, then the most logical approach is to break down the events and construct the outcome. In the eyes of the court no matter who you are, a friend or foe, a judge or jury are against the bias view and must conduct a reasoning for the answer in the most logical sense possible given the story and evidence.
As for what she had done and the history regarding Dreams, would have to know more of what happened. As that's history before applying to dreams, it isn't part of the equation as to whether or not this is the guild for me. The saying goes: Walls have eyes and ears. And so does this forum, wish not to divulge into personal ideas about others on an open forum, but to answer your question without bias or a disregard of the feelings of others.

I suppose it's true that the truth is easier to understand than a lie lol. xD

I don't know if I have warped thinking about this, but this is my view on it. I would follow the truth too BUT if humanity does not need my help then I would actually feel satisfied living in a simulated world. I think the awareness of the truth is good enough for me. If life is truly better on the simulated world and there is no purpose for me to be in the real world, then there's no reason to make myself miserable by staying in the shitty world right? It is appealing to know that I have the potential to "hack my life" to make it better since it is all simulated haha.

Ofcourse in "The Matrix movie universe" humanity is very desperate for help. I would have no hesitation to make my contribution to help with humanity's shitty situation lol. I would remain fully commited even if that means dealing with the worst possible living conditions everyday!

Questions all the Questions

Favorite Halloween thing?
Favorite Halloween Cereal?

Are you a research scientist or a physician?

I work in the field of genomics and systems biology myself.

welcome to the application process Jo Jo. i will be your second refferal, but i have a couple of demands first i need 2 bags of cookies, 5 crunchwraps, a triple whopper, and a 7 eleven slurpee. lol jk but anyway i do wish you good luck on your application. May the force be with you.

Thank you everyone. And thank you najee, here is your order *hands Najeexx a bag of day old hamburger, 2 bags of stale cookies found in the dumpster half eaten. Did buy the slurpees but drank them already on the way to you.

@Trees - Researcher. Not a practicing physician so no cannot prescribe you any caffeine pills >.
@Trees - Researcher in Neurobiology, however work in engineering field with calibrating the sensitivity margins for prosthetics. Don't work with the hardware engineering itself, further schooling would be required in Neurochemistry to be qualified to take my engineering certification courses to be able to directly interact with the design functions of the devices itself. Would love to study Neuroengineering, and will do so in the future, however. My schooling focal is actually in Nerves, and brain synapse related issues such as caused by an injury, virus, or disease.

@GHOSTLYBARD -
Favorite Halloween thing?- Dressing up, and taking my kiddos out trick or treating for 15 mins before we get bored, then coming home to party.

Favorite Halloween Cereal? - They make Halloween cereal? Don't really eat in the morning but when it happens it usually Oat-groats or steel cut oatmeal plain. Sometimes spice it up with some greek plain yogurt and oatmeal, soak it overnight and then have that in the morning with some blueberries and kiwi.

Favorite Holloween Costume - Homemade, over the years have made quite the collection of handmade costumes, however this year just bought pieces from amazon and sort of made a custom look from presewn pieces . So far the track record is, Victorian goth, a 17th century English harlot, A startrek generation away team officer or medical doctor, this year will be a zombie french maid.
Many more, got really busy this year and didn't have the time to sew our costumes.

Favorite Halloween Activity? - Drinking brandy. Enjoying the look on my kiddos faces when they dress up.
