When I picked the URL for this blog nigh on years ago, I had intended to write almost exclusively about yarn, knitting, and other fiber related things. Now that I've come back to it after a long period of gross negligence, it occurs to me that there really are so many other things to talk about. There will always be fibery goodness, but I think we may delve into some more personal things. I feel this happens to be best. So, hello, and welcome. I can speak with relative certainty when I say I have no idea where all this nonsense is headed, but if you know me at all, you also know it'll be an adventure getting there.
Speaking of knowing me, I should probably share at least a few less than superficial details in regards to myself.
I am a biology major, music minor in my junior year. That may seem paradoxical--the science and the art--and it probably is, but that's just how I'm wired. My favourite thing to study (ever) may just be the synthesis of ATP from glucose and the resulting proton motive force. (It's bad, I know) Most of this probably stems from growing up in a veterinary clinic (more on this at a later date).
Music, on the other hand and the same note, makes me happy inside. That's pretty much as simple as it gets. I've played the piano since second grade (I long ago came to terms with the fact that I just simply lacked the inborn virtuosity to be a concert pianist. It was a good day) and I have a deep and abiding love for the instrument in our living room.
I love to knit. Knitting is the only thing that got me through the psychology textbook. Knitting keeps me sane on airplanes. Knitting helps me occupy my middle brain so that when someone tries to tell me something, my response isn't "La la la, pretty colors" followed by a frolic in an imaginary field of flowers.
My favourite author is Victor Hugo (as in, I actively seek his obscure and rarely published novels). I'm in love with the choral works of di Lasso, Debussy's piano solos, and have this really strange affinity for musical theatre and Jason Robert Brown.
I'm odd. We'll get over it together.
So this is my blog--Slowly Unraveling, stitch by stitch. I think that has practical life applications. I think this will be a place to talk about sheep and science, God and music... I'm excited.
You should be, too
