Damnit, Jim, I'm a theologian, not a physicist.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I was a physics/astronomy major.

I had a knack for math and putting together systems

That explains a lot about you. :)

And thus I do systematic theology and we're all happy! ;)

Well, at least that background helps you to understand teinedreugan when he's talking shop. So not a total waste of time. :)

I had submitted my life-force to expectation so long that I didn't know what else I could do.

I'm only just now figuring out what this one is like. I'd been inside it so long I couldn't see it.

I still haven't quite figured out what to *do* when I'm not just doing what's expected. It's hard.

I like systems. Complexity makes things interesting. I eventually moved from engineering to psychology because humans are more complex than anything, and therefore even *more* interesting. But it was really just another variation on the expectations.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" has always been the most baffling of all possible questions.

I resonate a lot with both this and the original post. Thank you very much to both of you.

Actually, I always saw you as an art girl

I suspect you saw closer than a lot of people did, there.

I need to get my studio put together. Then I can make more little elephants. ;)

Huh, I know people who know Beth Biller, because they went to college with her.

I love the metaphors physics and math give me; the process of doing research, not so much.
