Short version: I'm a very technical girl.
Long version: I'm a chemist working as an engineer in a materials department. I like cats, whisky, children, photography, spacecraft instrument operations, data calibration, and social justice.
ITweet, Flickr and cross-post to LiveJournal under the same username. I'm pretty open to making new friends, especially here on DW. If you add me to your reading and/or access lists, I'm very likely to reciprocate. If I subscribed to you seemingly at random, it wasn't - someone recommended your journal to me. I rarely drop people from my subscription list unless they've stopped using DW for at least a year. I'll add you back immediately if you decide to pick up using it again. Just let me know.
I try very, very hard to reply to every comment I receive and to comment often on others' posts. It's important to me to be as interactive as possible. I don't comment on my Circle's journals as often as I would like simply due to time constraints, but please know that I'm always reading. I don't expect a reciprocal level of commitment to commenting. If you rarely have the spoons to comment, I don't mind.
Admin note: This is a personal blog, not a professional one. It's about me. It's not about my job.
