Introductions

'allo World. I'm Liz and I am generally classified as an INTJ.
I'm a 24 year old nerdy girl who was born and raised in sweet home Alabama. I'm seeking a PhD in medical genetics and genomic sciences. Why? Because I apparently hated having spare time that much, and, more idealistically, because I like the idea of helping people.

I like science and medicine, but I also like creativity.  I grew up in choir and I love to sing. I'd like to think I have an appreciation for good music. I love photography and make a hobby out of it, however it's quite a pricey hobby and I'm quite poor. I have recently discovered that I also love arts and crafts and that I am pretty good at the art of crochet. (Thus, the title of this Blog.)

I love logic and rationality. I am an extremely practical person. The ideas of fashion and pretense and "socialites" are lost on me. Be forewarned.

I love animals and I have tons of them. I grew up on a farm, so I have never NOT had animals in my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 ferrets. I own my own home with a large backyard, so it works. However, my crafts tend to be littered with dog hair. The family farm currently houses 4 horses, a donkey, and a cute baby mule. Expect lots of pictures of all the above animals as these are my children.

In general, I am an easy going person who is fairly slow to anger, even though I can be easily annoyed. I tend not to judge people unless I feel they are judging me (or whomever they are antagonizing.) I am also very protective of the people I love.

I love people. I love learning about different cultures and I love hearing different ideas. I love meeting new people and learning about them, however I try not to be a "creeper".

I am, in general, a progressive, open-minded thinker. It goes with that whole "rational" thing. (For the record, a truly rational, fact-driven person should always admit nothing is impossible and should always be willing to approach a problem from multiple angles.)

I love TV and movies. I think I would die without Netflix. I have more favorites than I can possibly list within a reasonable amount of time. I love crime dramas, action comedies, pure action, and well done sci-fi. My absolute favorites are Doctor Who and Firefly.  Oh and Glee. I love Glee.

I hate Twilight. Sorry.

I'm getting married in December of 2012 to my lovely boyfriend of (nearly) 6 years. Exciting stuff.

I also tend to say things that some people find offensive, but I really don't mean it. So, my apologies in advance.

It should also be noted that I am terrible about reading comments/messages and thinking I have responded to them when I have in fact not. So if you do not get a response from me, please keep trying.
