Well, in light of certain events I thought I should probably post here.
I came to TBF on advice from phil_t, to show and get criticism on my poetry. A handful of my poems (old threads now) are in the writing forum--go check them out and offer insightful critique! Help me improve!
As a result of the call for newbie postings in the Thumperthread, I've started to engage the forum at large. (BROADSIDE 'ER, LADDIES! RAMMING SPEED!)
I write poetry, sometimes, occasionally it's not angsty drivel. I'm a young and in no way idealistic (more cheerfully cynical) chemist, living in North Carolina, a beautiful, if too hot, state in the USA, though I'm originally from Michigan and Indiana (an LP'er and a Hoosier, if you care to know). I used to love to read and then I grew up and I seemed to have these things called 'friends' that supplant my reading time a bit. As in, it's been a long time since I read a serious work of fiction or nonfiction. Mostly I stick to the cheap thrills of good satire or comedy (hence the Terry Pratchett currently above my name).
I love long walks on the beach, red wines, and jumping out of planes (with parachutes--I have much too much fun as a cheerful cynic to commit suicide). I have a hard time taking much seriously, but you might have figured that out if you've read this far.
It'll be a fun ride, y'all.

(well I suppose liking Pratchett can be forgiven)
