Booze and Bio
I learned how to grow up yeast in fermenters today. How fun!! Actually the machines were really shiny and pretty and the people that work there are absolutly awesome. I also found out they have parties at the office every other Friday, so that should be great! I will be taking the bus to work...hehehehe. I am seriously loving this job. I like the science and I like socializing with the people as well, even if the one closest in age to me is 31. He used to be the baby...lol. I do think they talk about animals a bit too much though. I mean, seriously, who needs to know that a poodles ear hair needs to be trimmed? Ugh! And one lady really likes bugs, we went to get coffee and she kept looking at all the insects. I don't really care much for animals. This is why I am in molecular bio. I could see myself eventually with a small dog...maybe... I think I could be convinced of that anyhow. Did you know owning a dog or cat means almost $10,000 more per year, if you really take care of them. Its crazy.
I was listening to the radio this morning and the producer was talking about her irrational fear of riding bicycles. Aparently she fell of the handle bars of one as a kid and that was it. They wanted people to call in with their random fears. I tried but the line was busy. I was going to talk about how I am afraid of balloons. For those that don't know, that fear stems from being having balloons tied on my feet in kindergarten and everyone going around and trying to stomp on eachothers balloons. I freaked out. One of my friends retold this story and had the kindergarteners all armed with scissors to pop the balloon. I thought that deffinitly made the story better, and fun to imagine.
Have you ever felt like you are the only single one around? I hate it. Plus I finally feel ready for a relationship again, but its not going to happen because I am rather stuck on someone. I am fairly sure he isnt interested in having a relationship and well, I just can't get my act together and flirt with other people. It really sucks. Meanwhile, all my friends have boyfriends/girlfriends and so yeah, I feel a bit left out. Ah well, maybe he will come around or maybe I will get over it. Ok, thats my bit of angst...
Maybe these journals are a bit selfish, putting everything out there for people to read and all. I feel like its a nice way to keep in touch. Plus, its the only way I can keep a journal right now. I think keeping a jounral and taking pictures are very important because your recolections disapear so fast, but an image or a word can bring back an entire event.
And with that, I go back to AIM...
