I was an introverted soul of the 80's raised on a farm in Ozark Highlands.  I spent my youth caring for various animals.  During my free time, I stayed outside but I found time to read anything I got my hands on.  I didn't have many regular store toys but spent my time engineering and building things.  I hiked the endless mountains and dense woods that surrounded the farm.  I absorbed the local history of the area about the early settlers and native americans.   I would usually come back with some artifact like an arrowhead, fossil, animal bones or other memento.   Watching science fiction movies and tv series is a normal pastime for me even today.  I pursue eclectic interests involving all kinds of plants, a myriad accumulation of health information, various martial arts, and so on.  I am always doing trainings in various fields and I have a never-ending pursuit of all things curious and intriguing.
