All This Hot Talk About What I'm Gonna Do . . .

Today the Obama Campaign offered me a (modestly) paid, full-time internship in a battleground state. So I will be out of town from October 12th through November 5th.

Largely because I want to keep My Fair Scientist focused on science and closely related issues, I haven't decided how frequently I will blog during my trip to the front. Writing this blog is tricky. How to create a blog that will compel people like me to go, "Whoa, Juniper began as an unemployed loser who had to crash with her parents, but she worked her bony butt off, and now she's a rockin' geneticist! Maybe I can do it too!" without beginning it as a Pity Party? (Woe to those who mistake my masochistic willingness to reveal how pathetic my life is right now for a Pity Party. It is merely my colossally arrogant conviction that my future is Epic, as well as a typical exhibition of manic-depressive writerly-ness.) For that is the ultimate goal. . .

And then the issue of wanting to shut out the political rants my closest friends and family hear all the time from me in "real life". Just doesn't feel right in this space o' mine, the darn politics. Lots of other clever bloggers to zestfully castigate, ahem, Psycho-Ass Team of Death and Destruction anyway. (Right on! Bless them all.)

Anyway, I am really excited about the opportunity to get up and work for the election of my candidate instead of aimlessly grumbling over his eeeevilbwahahahahahahaha opponents. Yes! How ironically refreshing, to stop worrying over what you want accomplished and just do it already!!!!1111!!!!!1111

Ironically.
