[Public] Journal Entry: Introduction: Daniel Jackson

[om_thoth]

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Daniel Jackson. I'm what you could call a New York native, although I've only been living here permanently for the last few years. Before that, I spent most of my life in and around archaeological digs throughout the world, though my parents' specific expertise was in the Old Kingdom era of Egyptian history. Think pyramids.

I'm in my sophomore year of high school, though from what I've heard, this school doesn't necessarily have 'grade levels'. At least not how most American schools seem to.

If anyone is interested in history, anthropology, archaeology, or linguistics, I've also got a Tumblr [link] that I update pretty regularly.

Hello, Daniel Jackson. I'm Felix Harrowgate, I'm 17 and a junior (insofar as we count those things here). You can recognize me by my red hair and the leafy vines that look like tattoos on my arms. They aren't, but "unusually colored and patterned skin coloration for no particular purpose" seems like a mouthful.

I'm desperately interested in things like anthropology and linguistics! I started learning languages too late, but I'm doing pretty well with Latin right now. Mostly I'm interested in myths and legends and symbols because of how those affect the way people conceptualize ideas in their subconscious.

Oh, my powers are mostly related to dreams and astral vision. I can control other people's dreams and see things that only exist astrally, like ghosts and psionic entities.

Welcome to Xavier's. If you see me in the dining room, please don't hesitate to come sit down.

Hey, look at you! A post that doesn't have to do with powers. This, I can get behind. I'm Clint. Or Barton. Or Hawkeye. Anyone of those'll do. The only traveling I've done's been around the US, and not because of bone hunting, but I think that might be just as cool. Sounds exciting, you know? The pyramids and all. Did you go to the top? I saw a show on TV that said they used to be capped with gold.

I don't really have a grade here. Like you said, not a normal school. History's cool, though. I think it's the stories that really get my attention. Maybe you can share sometime... or we can trade.

Oh, how fascinating. Do you and your parents also study exobiology?

Anthropology...does that mean you can explain what I missed growing up fast? There's all this stuff people think I should know being an American teenager, and you can't really learn that from a computer.

Hi there! I'm Becky!

It sounds like you had SUCH a cool childhood! (LOL we're totally not children anymore :P ) Did you ever see any mummies?? Are there really curses and all of that stuff?

I'm a Sophomore, too, (for what it's worth here) so I'm sure we'll see each other around all the time!

I also have a Tumblr [link], but it's split between pictures of attractive guys, social justice issues, and fanfiction. Feel free to follow me if that's your thing! :D
