I've been tagged by four different people so I guess I might as well do it. XD

Rules:
1. Post the rules
2. Each tagged person must tell 8 things about themselves
3. At the end you have to tag 8 people and post their icons in your journal
4. Then go back to their page and leave a comment saying you tagged them
5. No tag backs

1.) I didn't really get into fandom/fanart/anime until about 2 years ago.
2.) I'm a self-proclaimed Disney addict.
3.) Despite the fact that I'm the oldest sibling, I'm very much a follower. I only lead when it has to be done.
4.) My brother and I ended up going to the same college.
5.) I actually work in a prosthetic clinic.
6.) I'm told that I make the best apple pie in the world. (Really! XD)
7.) I have a natural tendency to fiddle with objects: tools, pencils, phones, necklaces, you name it.
8.) I occasionally drink but I'm of legal age and I'm NOT a raging alcoholic.

I TAG: Any. And. Everyone. Bored. Enough. To. Do. This. (That's 8. Ha!)

In other news, I'm going to have a serious cosplay photoshoot next week! Yes that's right, I won't be the one holding the camera, somebody else will be! So this will give me a chance to do something DIFFERENT for a change, and you'll get a chance to see the full outfit instead of just my face. Hope you guys aren't completely sick of seeing me as Winry yet. My photographer is AWESOME; I can't wait to see what she'll do. ^_^

Oh my, your cosplay is awesome! You make an excellent Winry.

And you want to go into prosthetics? Please do so. That seems like a wonderful job.

Random commenting is random XD Sorry.

Thanks very much! I just work with what I have. ^^

Oh yes it is wonderful. I've been planning on it for the past 11 years.

I enjoy the random comments! Thanks for stopping by!

:) No problem.

11 years? Wow. Mind my saying that's simply awesome? Just curious, but are there any sources that really helped you learn about prosthetics? I find that field interesting, but I don't have any idea where to look :D

You enjoy random comments? Okay, here's another, lol.

Well it's just something I've been familiar with for many years. The best source for learning is just visiting and shadowing at a clinic itself. There are plenty of places that will let you do it if you ask nicely. I have a prosthetic myself, so as a patient, I've always had connections.

You need a solid background in physics, biology, and exercise science. Some engineering also helps. If you go to NCOPE's website (National Commission of Orthotic and Prosthetic Education), they'll give you links to schools that can help you get certified. Each school has different pre-requisites but most of them ask for a LOT of sciences like the ones I mentioned. If you don't want to be certified and just want to be a technician, you just have get some experience with tools and apply to a clinic near you. Just getting experience at a clinic is an excellent place to start.

WAAAYY more info than you probably ever wanted to know. ^^;

Cool, I'd certainly like to try shadowing, but will they let just anyone come in? I don't have a prosthetic as you do, nor do I know anyone that does, I just find the subject amazing. Sure it'd be okay?

Thank you for all the sources and tips! I've written them all down and will take a look. Gosh, now I'm all excited, heh.

And no, it wasn't too much information =P I really appreciate it. Do you know any books on the subject as well? I haven't found too much myself. Thanks again and take care!
