The handy intro post

[giallarhorn]

As title says, an intro post since most of this journal is f-locked. This gets updated maybe once a year.

Hey there

[giallarhorn]

Nahh- these friending memes can go on for a long, long time, so you never know who might just pop up =D

Haha, no worries; yes, I do indeed still want to friend you back =D Cause Stargate/Doctor Who/Sherlock/Firefly fans are hard enough to find as it is, sooo *grin*

[johnsheppardluv]

YAY! :D And guess what? I just figured out something ELSE we have in common. We were born on the same date. ;) October 11th. :D Were you a night baby or a morning baby though? I was born at 10:33 PM during an odd year myself. So, everything was an odd number but the month. *grin*

But yeah...NOW you tell me the lengths of time that these friending meme things can go to. *lol*

And you aren't kidding! We WhoGaterLockianBrowncoats ARE the rarest of breeds (& have been just recently discovered too, you might say). ;)

And "YAY!" for friend-backs! :D

~Sharma (again)

OH HUH WELL HI BIRTHDAY BUDDY :D I actually don't remember, so I'd need to see if anyone in my family does remember, haha. I was born on an even year, soo, yeah. No luck in numbers there.

Weelll, I mean, they technically never do end till the entry is deleted so it could go on for ages, and years from now you could get a request from it :D

I know! Though, I feel like the GaterLockian combination may be one of the rarer things, and that we're just a...more advanced form of the combination XD

Hey there! I saw your post on avoria's friending meme - we both ship Doctor/Rose, friend!ship Ten/Donna, and I love Game of Thrones too! And I was a chem major my second time through school (until I got into pharmacy school, so then I left lab-chem for drug-chem lol) =) Friends?

[giallarhorn]

Ohh, pharmacy school? How's that going (since I'm kind of doing a project on drug chem, haha). Also, Secret Diary icons FTW not like I'm a little ashamed to watch that

Sure!

[kilodalton]

Yup, pharmacy school! I just finished my first year, so 3 more to go (+ residency). It's going really well - I like it and am learning a ton, but it's a lot of work. We study drugs & diseases in modules, so everything is very compartmentalized for us. (Like ... if we're studying anticholinergics in one course, then we're studying typical molecular/receptor interactions and predicting drug action based on molecular shape in medchem, we're studying diseases and side effects related to those drugs in another course, etc).

What kind of project are you doing?

And I <3 Billie Piper, so yeah lol - I'll watch anything she's in! =)

[giallarhorn]

3 more years and residency, augh. Is it a more specialized approach to each drug/disease and how it relates to each, without an overall idea of how it could work to each? Ohh, that sounds a lot of like what we're doing- we're basically trying to figure out the exact mechanics behind a drug that's supposed to be a narcolepsy drug, but also causes bulimic urges to cease (and according to other papers and what the company's started studies on, it may have applications to ADHD and depression?) cause basically, no one really knows what receptor it binds to. We're just plugging things into a program and letting it do the calculations while we try to figure out how to make sense of the results.

That's a basic run down, haha.

YES. BILLIE PIPER <3 I don't think I would've watched a show with that many awkward moments in it if it wasn't for her (not that it's a bad show in the least).

[kilodalton]

I mean, I can just imagine the nightmares you have to go through if you misjudge something for something else when trying to give medication XD

Malpractice insurance x.X

The most I'd want to go into health care would be something involving modelling compounds in computers and seeing the theoretical results from it, haha.

A few of my medchem professors do this as their non-academic job -- they love it!

[giallarhorn]

Yeah...it sounds like a really stressful job if you're constantly worrying about people trying to get you out of your job =/

Haha, it's not a bad thing. The main challenge with it is fighting off the boredom, since you're stuck waiting for the computer to finish what it's doing, which isn't as bad as trying to synthesize something, I suppose.

[sarahblack]

Hello! I noticed you on hecatescurse's blog. You seem pretty awesome, and also you have an Icelandic username which is rather cool.

May I add you?

[giallarhorn]

Ahh, sorry for getting back so late- but yes, you may add away!

Also, you're the first person who actually had an idea of what my username was supposed to be, so points for you :D

[sarahblack]

Yay, thank you!

It's a neat username. Translates roughly to "megaphone", though it's an older, prettier term.

[giallarhorn]

Really? I learned it to be translated more to something along the lines of "yelling horn", or just "loud horn" relative to the context that it was used in. Although, that was for the technically correct version of the word when I first found it.

[giallarhorn]

Haha, sure thing :D
