I saw X-men First Class last week, and I only checked out fanfiction last night. This is actually something that I am legitimately proud of, as an act of will, equivalent to not eating chocolate this evening (even though I had it at lunch time). I thought up some pretty good reasons for liking the movie. I like the pseudo-historical setting, and there were some pretty hot guys, and I have this unfortunate growing love for tragedies.

Today was a Bad Day for Science, and I still have to go get groceries. But I know I like my job. Here are three things I love about being a scientist.

1) Mixing transparent liquids of different densities.
Anyone who tells you this isn't beautiful is quite probably blind.

2)Curling
It's like gardening, but cleaner. It brings order to chaos.

3) Knowing something before anyone else.
It's not the being alone, which isn't that awesome. Science is about sharing knowledge. It's knowing that we have pushed back the borders of the unknown, one tiny increment more. It doesn't happen often, but it is worth EVERYTHING.

Also, three things I love.
1) When my cat purrs just because I am in the same room

2) Sunlight through tree leaves.

3) Looking sexy in awesome dresses, even (and maybe particularly) when noone sees.
