So, in other news, I've changed my major. I'm now double-majoring in sociology and Poli Sci, with a concentration in Women's and Gender Studies. I think I'll go on to Law School when I graduate. Yeah, and I'm a mongoose. Sorry, I just can't make this one even half-believeable, I'll have to try something else to properly honor Lewis Carrol. Let's try this.

I live in a world of my very own. I created it myself; it is a good world. Hate and malice do not exist here. Everywhere, there is peace and happiness. All that is needed to keep children safe in the backyard all summer long is a bottle of sunscreen and a white picket fence so that they won't chase their ball into the street. What's that? You say you want your own world too? Come, friend. Come in, and I will share my world with you. And then it will be our world. And it will be a good world, a world with no malice or hate. But please be careful. Our world is very fragile. It will shatter if it is dropped, and there will never be another one like it. But come, friend. Come into our world, and be glad.

Hmmm... I have to admit, you are good enough to
survive Middle-earth. You might not escape
unscathed, but you will survive. Would you
like to join the PPC, we need people of your
remarkable resilience and intelligence.

What are some of your favorite quotes from literature?

Some of my favorites:
"I think, madam, that I may safely promise you never to dance with Mr. Darcy"
~Lizzy, Jane Austen's Pride and Predjudice

"And remember gentlemen, I am an ass"
~The Constable, Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing

"I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks"
~Scout, Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
~Gandalf, J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Rings. You are
entertaining and imaginative, creating whole
new worlds around yourself. Well loved, you
have a whole league of imitators, none of which
is quite as profound as you are. Stories and
songs give a spark of joy in the middle of your
eternal battle with the forces of evil.


Which literature classic are you?

You are Eliza Bennett from Pride and
Prejudice! Yay, you! Perhaps the
brightest and best character in all of English
literature, you are intelligent, lively,
lovely-- in short, you are the best of company.
Your only foibles are that you stick with your
first impressions... and your family is quite
intolerable.

My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
My username is _____ because _____.

My journal is called "Allison's World of Geekery" because my name is Allison, and I'm a geek.
My subtitle is "Beware the Mudd Lab Gremlins(TM)..."(though I had considered "Life in an Erlenmeyer...") because the Mudd Lab Gremlins(TM) are the little lab monsters. When the glassware breaks, when your experiment goes horribly wrong, when the molecular modeling software won't do what you tell it, that is the fault of the Mudd Lab Gremlins(TM). I also threaten to feed certain people to them...people who smoke in smoke-free buildings or lazily put library books on random shelves where it takes us months to find them or leave food to rot in the floor fridge.
My friends page doesn't have a name yet...I've considered "lab rats" but I don't want to offend anyone.
My username is chem_nerd because...well, isn't it obvious?
