So now I have a blog for Psychology 1010! Kewl stuff... I'm not sure if anyone really wants to read about me, but I can repeat what's in my profile on Angel.
I like to learn and am really interested in a lot of different things. Most of the time I am very busy. I am active and like running quite a bit. I have a number of hobbies I have no time for. I like things that challenge me and push me creatively.
Family life wise, I have a husband but no kids. We have a dog and three cats, as well as various and sundry other creatures from time to time. We've "housed" every animal from spiders -- including a black widow at one point -- to snakes, to ferrets, and so on. I am fascinated by animals in general. I love the snakes in our backyard. I love the black squirrels we';re seeing now with increasing frequency. They're just awesome.
I have been educated in philosophy and English literature (not that I remember much lit). I'm particularly interested in animal cognition, psychology, and behavior as well as the ethics of animal welfare. I am a vegetarian and an ardent animal rights supporter (though I think PETA crosses the idiot line too often, and I don't push it in people's faces). I want to study animal consciousness via the intersection of neuroscience, straightforward psychology, and philosophy.
I love love love music of all kinds, including a bunch of European symphonic prog metal bands I'll bet no one here has ever heard of. I have no children and I'm not like most of the other people in the class, in all probability. I'm a big geek and a science fiction and media fan with a toughchick hero worship thing. I'm an INFP, if you know what that is.
And yes, I have been told often that I am in fact strange.
