geek and lost scientists

I am a geek. Not exactly proud of it. Well, i just don’t like labels. But i must be:

Have a mini light sabre on my key chain

Just bought a new Spok toy (with detachable hand). It is not a doll. In any form. I didn’t have dolls when i was young enough to have dolls. Ok so i had one barbie doll but in all honesty i use to spend most of my time designing her house. And my sister broke her arm off. Then she cut all the hair off. She never even got in trouble. Bastard.

And i most recently cried when i was watching the Dr Who Ep “End of time”. Where he died. You know the one. Where the time lords had made the master insane....and the dr didn’t want to die. It was just so sad. *sniff*

Plus i like McShep fanfic. That can’t be healthy.

My first degree was a computer one.

Oh yeah. And a quick perusal of my DVD collection shows a lot of scifi. A lot. A scary amount. God, that must have cost me small fortune.

So anyway. Geek. And trying to do science stuff. My wonder i never get laid.

*sigh*

What i wanted to say today is that the great Dr Ian Allison is retiring. They even put it on the tellie (http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2010/s2847711.htm). A fantastic scientist and person. He was the voyage leader during the whole ship/fire thing. That kind of situation tells you all about someone. I know it told me a lot about myself. I had hoped that i would have him read my thesis one day (if it ever get finished!)

Anyway have to go finish my yoghurt so i can go to work. I have to keep reminding myself what can happen when you eat over your key board. I might have to get one of those new keyboards that you can poor water on and nothing happens....i am such a geek *grin*
