justphoenixGods help me, I'm doing this.
I'm Amy, and I'm a fanfic writer. My AO3 usernames are Justphoenix (primarily gen stuff) and Allamarain (shipping/smut). Why do I have two usernames and not just additional pseuds? There are people in real life who know I write fanfic, such as family and the members of my writing critique group, and I don't want them to find the shipping stuff. There's also the matter of not being out to a lot of people...but that's a discussion for another time. Yes, I'm paranoid. Anyway, also justphoenix on LJ. I've been on LJ since 2003.
I live in: Boston, MA, USA but I'm originally from the Chicago area. I moved to Boston for work in 2012.
Work: I am a lab manager for an academic research lab which works on drug-eluting contact lenses. The idea is a patient would continuously wear the contact lens rather than taking drops of getting eye injections. We are approved for a Phase I/II clinical trial, which I hope will happen this year. Currently, my labmates and I are making the contact lenses for the trial in a cleanroom environment. It's been a long, frustrating, strenuous process.
On DW I write about my daily life. Work, stuff with my kid (3.5 years old), spouse (Dave), and our two cats.
Things I like: baking, board games, World's Fair stuff, trains and public transit-I took a trip to NYC a couple years ago mostly for the purposes of visiting the Transit Museum. In addition to reading SF, I also like books about the history of science and medicine, particularly the history of AIDS. My favorite color is purple, and if I walk by a historical plaque, I have to stop and read it.
That's all I can think of.
