Forensics:

[crows]

I am very into forensic science, as preamble. It drives me to watch crime on TV... I prefer true to fake, though I love me some Law and Order (and Crossing Jordan, but I think I like that show for the story and not the crime). I'm NOT into CSI. At all. But that's a side thing.

Anyway, the point... I've had a couple of classes here and there (highschool, really) and have kicked around a possible future where I -do- seek formal education on the subject and potentially, at some point, work. Now, I don't want to investigate crime-scenes and pursue criminals... I'd want to work in a lab, doing something heinously specific really, really well. All of the tiny sub-fields of forensic science are bafflingly fascinating and supremely awesome. Forensic document examination? Forensic geology? Sound analysis? Or fingerprints... or anthropology...

It's just... really interesting, that's all.

Wow! Good luck with all that. I've been excited about the posts I've read where you've mentioned your work... I love meeting people who do interesting things, only if peripherally. If I ever were to get into that kind of work, it'd be a lifetime from now, after Music school and whatever else I'll have going on in the interim. But you never know! I'd take an opportunity to learn about it, hands down, if one were thrown at me. Whee!

Yeaaah, I didn't mean to sound like I was lecturing you. I'm just really passionate about what I do and go overboard a bit sometimes... I hope you get a chance to at least play around with it a bit; it's really great work.

Nah! Like I said, you do something interesting, it's double-awesome that you're so passionate about it. I'm sure I'll be all full of babbling once I get at the music school I'm on the slow road for.
