Gacked from ecwoodburn (among other):

Ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Then post this meme in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Hmm. I know I should know this. I'm sure I probably have been told. But... How did you meet/get to know kareila? Was it a mux thing? I feel like I should know, but I can't think.

We met on a (not half as fun as it was when I was around, and I've checked) old usenet newsgroup called alt.fan.monty-python. Actually, I became good friends with Jen and Kalina/arabella, both of who posted there.
During a really rough freshman year, those two stood out the most as two of my best friends. When Kalina asked if I wanted to check out her MUX, Disc()rdia, I said OK.
After a little while, i was so comfortable there, I dragged Kareila kicking and screaming (well, not in so many words, but I recall that she didn't seem as thrilled with MU** as newsgroups or talk at the time.) onto the MUX after me.

Ahh. I vaguely thought there was something Mony-Python-esque, but couldn't for the life of me think how it was related :)

What color are your eyes? Having only seen pictures of you, it's hard to tell. :)

[lite.livejournal.com]

Slate Grey. Seriously. They used to be blue and they darkened a little bit to be a blue-ish (I call Slate) Grey.

You need to come to D.C. so you can SEE the real me ;)

nyaha :)

I do need to go to DC! I used to live in herndon, which is right near DC ont he Virginia side. Lots of people on the east coast to visit! Would be so much fun :D

Lessee-- a good question about something I should know but don't.... what is your favorite food?

It's kinda lame, but I'm not about to do any better.

[lite.livejournal.com]

I have many and varied favorite foods. Probably, though, something sweet and chocolatey :)

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chocolate. I concur.

[kareila]

I know everything about you, muahahaha.

[phoenixsong]

I beg to differ s;)

However, between the two of us...knowledge is a dangerous thing. *eg*

[lite.livejournal.com]

I fear no woman!

[lite.livejournal.com]

I hidhly doubt that.
If you know EVERYTHING about me, then you know what I'm wearing right now. :)
So.. what am I wearing? ;D

[kareila]

Clothes!

I am astounded by your logic!
Silly Millie!

How did you first come to want to be an Engineer, and is there something specific within the field that is your ultimate goal?

[lite.livejournal.com]

When I first started uni, I had no idea what I really wanted to be. I figured.. I'm good with computers, so maybe I wanna try my hand at Computer Programming.
I AM good with computers.. and I certainly have the logical skills necessary for programming, however I can't count the number of nights I sat staring at a screen trying to find THE STUPID ERROR THAT WON'T LET MY PROGRAM RUN!!!! :p
After a little more of a year of Comp Sci, I dropped it. It wasn't for me.
So... in my geekery, I thought Aerospace Engineering might be the way.. and I tried THAT for a couple of years, up to the point where I realized that, realistically, the market for Aerospace Engineers wasn't huge and I could do better.
During an introduction to engineering course I HAD to take when I transferred over to UB, I got a lecture from a number of different engineers about what they do, including a lecture from Dr. Rabideau, a civil engineering professor. It was about a groundwater problem he was working on, that was difficult and chaotic and would require physics and chemistry and earth science to solve. I was.. interested. A challenge that I could get into.
That's how I REALLY found myself, in a career goal sort of way. Certain other small benchmarks along the way cemented my assurance that environmental engineering is where I wanted to be, but that was the beginning.
Ultimate goal? I have a number of them.. become a P.E. (Practicing Engineer), possibly work in the sort of field I'm doing my thesis in (Water QUALITY modeling instead of what I'm doing now.. Water Quantity (and movement) modeling).

What is your stance on penguins?

[lite.livejournal.com]

I don't actually stand anywhere on penguins.
However penguins do seem to stand on my telly... and explode... which is a little odd, I must admit... and kinda creepy... especially after cleaning penguin blobs off the ceiling after the 30th time.
