I loathe when people think that I’m shy rather than introverted. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being shy, I’m just not, and they are two separate things. People cajoling me into social situations try to assure me that I “don’t have to talk to everyone” or that “everyone will love me.”


Bitch, of course they will like me. I am delightful. I just find prolonged social interactions to be extremely exhausting.

about me post: v2

So I haven’t done one of these in a while, and my previous post is woefully outdated.

Hey! I’m Catherine, if you haven’t gathered that thus far.

  • I’m a 21-year-old college senior (WHAT. WHEN DID THIS TRANSPIRE.)
  • Graduating in June 2012 with a B.S. in biology and psychology.
  • Currently planning on taking a year to work before starting grad school (i.e. I did not apply this fall, plan to apply next year, etc.). I am still hoping to enter a PhD program in neuroscience … wherever will accept me!
  • I am now working for a cardiology research group, studying resuscitation methods for cardiac arrests. Sounds cool, right? It’s actually a rather depressing office job. I read a lot of EMT and paramedic incident reports, and these cases usually don’t end well. I listen to a lot of Radiolab podcasts at work to distract myself from the distressing nature of my job.
  • I live in Seattle with my sister and her cat, Scully. The cat is a new addition. I’m not usually a cat person, but this creature is growing on me. 
  • I spent last summer living and working in Berlin. I occasionally get nostalgic and reblog the entire Berlin tracked tag.
  • I watch far more television than I have time for. Parks & Recreation is far and away my favorite show right now. I’m currently on a Fringe kick, but my relationship with that show is notoriously hot and cold. I love NBC comedies (sans Whitney, naturally) annnnnd some ABC comedies as well (I’m looking at you, Modern Family, Happy Endings, and Cougar Town). 
  • Music. I’m very passionate about the music I love. My list of favorite artists is always growing in a wonderful way. Nick Drake has been perched at the top of that list for years now, and I doubt that will change anytime soon. Feel free to add me on last.fm! I am always looking for new music to discover.
  • I have been known to frequently make this face:
  • What else…
  • I like chocolate a bit too much.
  • I am absolutely over the novelty of Seattle’s rain.
  • I firmly believe that one can’t have too many socks.
  • And finally: INFJ. I am the 2%.

About Me

So this blog of mine is pretty new. I thought it’d be a good idea to introduce myself to tumblrland. :D
