I should have prefaced my saying I want to meet people with this. I am pretty much screwed time-wise until around Aug 16th because of a massive deadline. After that I will be good, but I am literally working 7 days a week, nights and all. It's not usually like this. I am just in a time crunch with this project due to getting samples back from Norway late. I promise I will come out as soon as I'm able!! I like your thinking Troy. I do like how interdisciplinary things have gotten in the sciences and I love studying this messy, tiny little biosphere of ours. I like to call it Midgard, as it really is kind of a middle space between the very large astronomical bodies and the very small world of particle physics. "I've got a LOTR board game setup on the table behind me right now actually." LOL! I think we will get along just fine.

Thanks for the greetings! @Troy. I'm pretty sure biology is the end all-be all of the sciences . Especially ecology (and even better, plant ecology), though evo is cool too. There seems to be a fondness for biology within the alt communities. Almost all the more creative people I've known seem to gravitate there as well. "...now that I've realized I've been lied to for the first 20 years of my life" Haven't we all been? What we are told from most "official" sources about everything concerning reality is pretty much one big fatass lie. But I digress Sim is cool with me. Yeah...just another Tolkien nerd haha. I've never been to City Club though it would be cool to find some people from this community soon. Current location: Ann Arbor Where from: Lived most of my life in GA.

I've been here in Michigan for a couple years now and have made some decent friendships but have missed the company of people in the more alt or "darker" communities. I'm an ecologist at the University of Michigan and a musician as well (play guitar). Well, since we are few and far between, just thought I'd try and see if I could reach out and connect with others. *waves*
