The Great Jesus Experiment

About me

Introduction	An introvert who likes public speaking, I'm a research scientist, an aspiring author and an expert in awkward socializing. I love taking selfies, dancing poorly and creating theme songs for my friends' and family's pets. My mom and brother are here in Maryland and I have extended family in Vermont where I grew up. After a powerful conversion experience, I entered the Catholic Church on Easter Vigil 2011 and recently spent three years discerning the Religious life. I used to volunteer twice a week with a faith based prison ministry and I help out a lot with a homeless winter relief shelter and an AIDS hospice. Right now I'm in formation with the Lay Missionaries of Charity. Please note that The Great Jesus Experiment is a conversion diary and, therefore, the earliest posts may seem a bit crude to folks who have come to know me within the last 7ish years.
Interests	When I actually have free time, I enjoy cooking and baking (especially pies), knitting and jewelry making, drinking copious amounts of caffeinated tea, learning languages (Spanish, American Sign Language and Ancient Greek), watching musicals and theater, reading and writing and visiting libraries, exploring new places, and jogging very slowly. I do not watch television but occasionally watch movies. My favorite pastime is meeting up with friends and chatting. I really really love to laugh.
