Hello, I'm Skywalker! Feel free to ask away and I'll do my best to answer your questions.
 
You mentioned in your intro thread that you're studying Industrial/Systems engineering. Do you enjoy it? Anything in particular you find interesting about it? 🙂
 
Call me stupid but what's that image as your avatar? 😛

How long could you go without talking?

Absolutely! I thoroughly enjoy looking at a process and using a systematic approach to maximize the efficiency of that process. Finding the best way to do something is the name of the game. 🙂

Apple or Android?
Android definitely! I was Apple loyal for most of my life, until I hit adulthood. Cracked my screen, did not want to pay hundreds to get it fixed, so now I am the proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy S6. Phenomenal phone and system alike. I appreciate the functionality and practicality it encompasses, all the while at a better price and service plan through my cellular provider.

It all depends 😛 I genuinely enjoy time to myself, but I am not a loner. I really enjoy being around people, but I have to have time set aside for myself to recharge for the next day.

Do you like chocolate?
Better question would be who doesn't like chocolate? 😛 Yes, I LOVE chocolate, especially homemade chocolate chip cookie that is still doughy enough to dissolve in your mouth but firm enough not to fall apart upon lifting it up from the pan. My mom is the only one I know who can perfect this cookie cake!

What are a few of your hobbies?
Hello! Nice to meet a fellow Christian! I enjoy shooting guns, fishing, and spending time with friends and family. Typically, we all sit around and do nothing together and call it quality time haha But it works 🙂 The little things mean the most.
 
How did you came up with your name?
 
It is from the bible 🙂 Here is a clear answer to your question below. (CREDIT: http://www.gotquestions.org/Zion.html)
The word Zion occurs over 150 times in the Bible. It essentially means “fortification” and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.” Zion is described both as the city of David and the city of God. As the Bible progresses, the word Zion expands in scope and takes on an additional, spiritual meaning.

The first mention of Zion in the Bible is 2 Samuel 5:7: “David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.” Zion was originally an ancient Jebusite fortress in the city of Jerusalem. After David’s conquest of the fortress, Jerusalem became a possession of Israel. The royal palace was built there, and Zion/Jerusalem became the seat of power in Israel’s kingdom..

When Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem, the meaning of Zion expanded further to include the temple area (Psalm 2:6; 48:2, 11–12; 132:13). This is the meaning found in the prophecy of Jeremiah 31:6, “Come, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.” In the Old Testament Zion is used as a name for the city of Jerusalem (Isaiah 40:9), the land of Judah (Jeremiah 31:12), and the nation of Israel as a whole (Zechariah 9:13).

The word Zion is also used in a theological or spiritual sense in Scripture. In the Old Testament Zion refers figuratively to Israel as the people of God (Isaiah 60:14). In the New Testament, Zion refers to God’s spiritual kingdom. We have not come to Mount Sinai, says the apostle, but “to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22). Peter, quoting Isaiah 28:16, refers to Christ as the Cornerstone of Zion: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).
