Jesus saves.... but Millikan gets the credit.
Name:Quis
Location:State College, Pennsylvania, United States
Birthdate:1983-03-14
AOL IM:AIM status quistakular (Add Buddy, Send Message)
Bio:Silly 25 year old chemist equestrian who graduated Vanderbilt '05 and now at Penn State for a doctorate in chemistry. Loves nerds, ChemDraw, and an inverted microscope equipped with a 60x oil immersion lens.

A few weird facts about me:

-I like the smell of gasoline.
-My fingers and toes are double-jointed.
-I have perfect pitch. Wikipedia reports that this is found in only 1 in 10,000 people.
-My eyes are so light blue that they're almost colorless. As a result, I'm kind of photosensitive.
-Hence, people ask me all the time if I wear contacts (I don't).
-I can do a handstand against a wall.
-My favorite flowers are stargazer lilies.
-I speak good French, semigood Russian and Japanese, and not-so-fluent colloquial Slovak.
-I have never gotten an ice-cream headache. If you people slowed down and savored the ice cream, maybe you wouldn't get them, either.
-Internet Flash movies are one of my primary time-wasters.
-One day, I would love to be a wine connoisseur.
-My favorite kind of juice is unsweetened white grapefruit juice.
-I am an incorrigible early riser.
-I love nerdy boys. Nerds are the way to go.
-I am fiercely loyal to driving stickshift cars. If it ain't got a manual transmission, I don't want to drive it.
-If you call me Kristin and you're a Vandy or Penn State person, I will think you're mad at me, because pretty much no one at Vandy or PSU calls me Kristin. It's Quis. Plain and simple.
-My eyebrows have always been and will remain untouched by tweezers.
-When I was a little kid, I rode horseback western and bareback. In college, at the behest of my roommate and fellow chemgal, I started to ride hunter/jumper. In 2 years of riding, I've managed to jack the jumps up to 2'6" and still stay on.
-I still rock a 3 year old iRiver iHP-120 20 GB mp3 player, because iPods are for sheep. Hopefully it will see me through grad school.
-I am a faithful blood donor, type O positive. I give every 8 weeks. I have given 10 times so far.

...More to come....
