Subject:	SRII skills for real people???

I'm interested in seeing if people can describe their own abilities in SR
skill terms (inspired by CrossFire and Mike Boschet's current argument.

Here's how I'd see myself:

Character Name: Vin Player Name: Dark Elf
(so I have a warped sense of reality)

First off, I'm almost done with my Comp. Sci. degree, with a small amount of
electronics thrown in. A Minor in music, and a smattering of other interesting
things...

Computer(Software) 4
Comp. Theory. 4
Electronics 1 (I don't see myself as very qualified in this area, but
I do have more knowledge than a default would indicate)
Music Performance(brass) 2 (I'm OK at it)
Music Composition 2 (Fun, but I'm not Mozart)

Firearms(airguns) 3 (hey, I'm a good shot with a BB gun and a paintball
gun, too bad I don't have much combat pool to back it
up, some would consider these projectile weapons)
Ettiquete(college) 3 (I've been here 5 years, I know the lingo)
Ettiquete(street) 2 (yes, I can hang with the homies)
Ettiquete(corp) 1 (still learning this one, it helps when you try to
get a job)

Special Skill:
Devious Plot Design 6 (I did start the madness that turned into Omega Island
on shadowtk)
General Evil 8 (no explanation)
NERPS Herding 6 (these two are
Widget use 5 inexplicable)

Obviously the special skills are there for humor, the rest are reasonably
accurate with others left as defaults!
