I very much love LiveJournal. As kahnegabs explained to me when I was new here, it is like a quiet, intimate, coffee shop wherein one can sit down and actually visit with one's friends (she was comparing it to MySpace, which she likens to a noisy sports-bar full of neon and too much noise to really connect with folks, even if everyone is there). However, I have also been enjoying reading things in the GeoBlog Sphere, particularly posts by All of My Faults Are Stress-Related and Geotripper, and other science blogs like Female Science Professor. Enjoying reading their posts has had me thinking more about what I've learned thus far, and what I know that might be worth sharing, and, perhaps, inspiring others to get into science. Therefore, I've started a new blog, wherein I will write about my love of learning, science in general, and geology in particular. I don't expect I will post there often, it will be more for things along the line of complete essays, while this journal is a way to keep in touch with my friends and loved ones. Therefore, this one will link to that one, but that one will *not* point back to this one. This one is for the "real me" to share both my good news and the trials and tribulations I face with those of you who care about me, and it is where I go to find out what wonderful or challenging things are happening to you, my friends and family. But, since it is something I've been up to, it seemed worth sharing the news of that blog here. Feel free to let me know what you think. Now that I've written 1000+ words on how I became a geologist, it is time to go write a 1000+ on the results I've gotten with my current geological research...
