Why is it that when people say things like, “I’m just being honest.” it is an excuse for saying something that isn’t socially acceptable or appropriate and that they know they probably shouldn’t be saying. When did “honesty” start trumping manners?
I'm 31. I have a BA in Astronomy-Physics from Colgate University. I have an MS in Physics from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Now I teach developmental mathematics at a community college. I've been married four years and my husband is similarly nerdy. He, at least, has a nerdy job. We've got three dogs, two cats, and a plethora of fish and aquatic creatures. I like to knit, and garden, and read fantasy and scifi.

I do not have a twitter and I do not text. My phone is for talking. I know, I am very anti-phone technology for a nerdy 31 year old. My friends and my brother keep chastising me. I'll tell you what I tell them, Deal.
I have a craft blog over at scitchetknits.tumblr.com
