So over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to cultivate friendships with people who were just acquaintances. …And I must say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
Last night, one of my new “friends” told me that I was a very strange mix. I gave him the double take and an excuse me? He says you know part scientist – part girly-girl. Here’s my scientist part below. I don’t know what image I should find to represent the girly me. I’ve always thought of myself as more of a tomboyish type. Hmph.

I’m off to a night of socializing with some of my colleagues.
