Greetings all
I've been a Star Wars fan since I was five and have always been intrigued by the force and the Jedi way of life but I haven't been getting serious about it since October 2007.
I know where the force is based on (Chi, Chakra etc) and my personal view is that it is the energy we find within ourselves and around us (which is created by all living beings).
I do not believe in a higher being nor that the force controls us but I can't see why we can't use the force within and around us.
For me there has just been to much evidence in the past that there is something we can manipulate with our mind and I'm hoping to be able to do the same. I'm not expecting to lift X-wings out of swamps but I'd liked to be able to become a healer and be more aware of myself and my surroundings.
Chiara isn't my rl name but it's a name I've used for the first time in the MMORPG Star wars Galaxies in July 2003. The same game where I met my American husband in August 2003 in the Mos Eisley cantina, met for the first time in real life in May 2004 and married December 2006. I'm originally from the Netherlands and currently not a full citizen yet (I call myself half-a-alien
) until we sent in the final form somewhere between September and December of this year.
I was born in Rotterdam the Netherlands on april 8 1981 and have had a regular childhood, passed school easily, finished Highschool and College.
I sailed 2 years as a Maritime Officer (meaning I was a Deck officer and a Engineer at he same time) on cargo and cruise ships but due to 2 herniated discs I sadly had to quit. I've been operated on it in June 2002 and my recovery hasn't been like it should be. I'm still for 70% disabled and always in pain and I wonder if that is what makes me want to become a healer. Although I have to add that I've always been interested in psychology and medical things. This interest is also one of the reasons why I took nutrition specialist course in April 2007 and finished it within 4 months instead of 10. The other reason that trigered it was because my sudden interest in dieting because in the first year my husband and I lived together I gained 20 pounds (American food is just so much fatter then Dutch food) but due to some heavy internet surfing managed to lose it within 3.5 months. Since that time I've been helping people and in august 2007 I made my own website named : www.amandasdiet.info where I offer free help and tips for people with weightproblems. And yes, Amanda is my real name, I just think it's boring so I normally use other online names. 
On the UJ website I'm known as MCLN although I haven't posted that much yet. on UJ I met Myrrden and he sent me the link of this website last week, I believe, and I've finally decided to sign myself up.
I'm currently a housewife but once I get my CA drivers license (I've had my Dutch one for 3 years but I have to take a driving test here too) I want to get a parttime job.
