please don't hurt the newbie

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, I just joined, though I've been lurking for some time. I was hesitant about joining, but finally got frustrated with trying to initiate contact (something I very rarely do, for numerous reasons) with NTs on okcupid.com and finding very few Aspies on that site.

My mini-bio:

I'm half and half, I guess: my therapist has verbally dx-ed me, but it's not official pending the results of more psych evaluations that have yet to be performed, and my family and I agree that the Aspie description fits me and my childhood experiences pretty well.

I'm a 20 year old student at Vanderbilt University, and I'm scheduled to graduate next December. I love history, microbiology, current events, and other random things (like National Geographic issues!).

I want to do medical research on pathological organisms when I graduate; I'm hoping to find a post-bac program or a graduate microbiology program.

Further complicating matters, I'm a flaming homo with liberal libertarian political leanings. I think a lot and am often told that I know too much.

Welcome!! ! Say, are you on LJ? Your SN strikes me as familiar.

Bienvenidos! My sister is a microbiologist with a lot of experience in molecular genetics at MD Anderson. Best wishes to you!

welcome to WP, sin-nombre. i've done that microbiology thing, of which you speak...

May i bite the newbie? I like biting people.

*pounces the newbie* Ello!

^_^

-roughly translates to mean "I like you"

Yes, my SN on LJ is the exact same. I have the Sin Nombre virus as my usericon.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm glad that there are other microbiology lovers out there. Honestly, I'm just glad that this is a place I can freely be myself.

I've not seen you around, but sometimes I'm not the most observant person on LJ.

I guess I should have added that I'm a girl, since there are a lot of guys on this site (which is entirely expected) and it's easy to assume that someone is a guy, given that fact.

Im a n00b too.
