ABOUT ME
I'm Brooke. I'm a chemist. I'm also a grammar nazi.
I like to tell people I have three passions:
1) music
2) bicycles
3) chemistry
+ I'm obsessed with breakdowns (especially those of the beatdown hardcore and/or metalcore type)
+ My acoustic/electric guitar is my baby. I wish I had more time to play it.
+ I like building bicycles
+ The t-shirts in my closet are organized by color, from white to black and everything in between.
+ I like to read.
+ I have strange reoccurring dreams about tornadoes.
+ I'm always aware of what something "smells like." (I'm not sure if this is an asset or a flaw).
+ I'm terrified of thunderstorms.
+ Oh yeah, and I shred at Guitar Hero.
