Forensics
I'm supposed to be reading up on Microcrystal tests for my F. Chem class that's in like 2 hours, but instead I decided to post. How novel.

So, keeping to the subject, I promised aubrem that when classes started I would post about them, however, I think I'm going to post about them to a filter only since a lot of these classes talk about real cases and can get pretty gruesome. I'm a biomedical forensics major after all. And since I haven't gotten a paid/perm account over at IJ, the poll will be hosted at LJ... you don't have to be on my LJ flist to vote on it since I know that I picked up new people over at IJ...

Anyway, be aware that I might not add you to the filter right away. I really want to have a sense of the people that I'm posting about this stuff to.

WARNING: Because, yes, this topic does need a warning. I might be posting about some gruesome stuff, and if that's not your cuppa, then please bypass this filter. Also the words "But that's not how they do it on CSI" are banned from any of those filter posts because really RL vs. Drama TV, people. (Doesn't mean I'm not up to the occasional discussion of differences, but seriously...)

Ok, so if you haven't been turned off by all of that, tell me if you're interested.

Go here to tell me if you want to be on my forensics filter on IJ

P.S. I am still working on those drabbles that I asked for prompts for... it just got suddenly busy. Though I shouldn't be surprised by this.

	Now you're scaring me. I'm all curious but these days I can't take really miserable stuff - like involving kids - will you be doing lj cuts and warning? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Yeah, I'll lj cut and post a warning if the subject matter is gory and/or if it talks about children.

Honestly, I think half of it will be process only. I just need to let people know that it can get involved as far as actual case stories might go (and then I'll only put in the bits and pieces that I need to in order to talk about the process that I'm studying)...

	Friended you on LJ and voted "yes" in the poll there because, dude -- physical anthropology student. Bring on the gruesome dead things. ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	:D Yeah, don't think I need to warn you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

yes! I filled out the poll on lj. My dad went for his PhD in Criminology and I cut my teeth on a book called Homicide Investigation. OK, that's a lie. It was the only book my parents ever kept from me while I was growing up. I wasn't allowed to look at it until I was 17 as it had extremely graphic photos of corpses killed by various means and in varying stages of decay. My first response was nausea; I slammed the book closed and didn't look at it again for another 24 hours. Then I was hooked and read it cover to cover a few times. Since then, well, let's just say I'm still interested. wow, this makes me sound kinda creepy, doesn't it?
