About me
I am a 27-year-old biomedical engineering student from the USA.

You may know me as "Calista" on the PPC web board.

Fandoms: Too many to count, including some rather obscure ones. The first I really fell in love with was Narnia, but the most intense interest (so far) has been Lord of the Rings.

I tend to be a little obsessive sometimes. This is not necessarily a bad thing, unless it happens during finals week.

I can speak German, but not fluently; play the piano, but not extremely well; and make crocheted blankets, though nothing complex. For fun, I read books, play computer games (if they are free or cheap), listen to songs from Broadway musicals, and keep a blog that's basically a collection of rants and essays. I have two cats and can understand their language, though I cannot speak it because I am not nearly flexible enough and have no tail.

I am a confirmed science nerd, fascinated with pretty much everything having to do with science, especially statistics, physics, medicine, psychology, and sociology (which is more of a social science, but meh...). My career goals include becoming a rehabilitation engineer; I want to design medical equipment that fills in the gap between disability and what society expects of the average person.

I also have ADHD and PDD-NOS, also known as "some kind of autism, but we have no clue which kind". This doesn't mean much online, except that sometimes when you hint at something, it'll fly way over my head. If that happens, just spell it out and I'll get it. And for heaven's sake, if I annoy you, tell me so I can stop, because I'm probably oblivious to the fact that I'm even being annoying in the first place!
