Questions

I am just a tad bit inquisitive. I have questions about everything, and every time one question is answered that answer inspires several more questions. I'm going to try an experiment. I will come up with at least one question each day. I will then seek the answer to this question. Whenever possible, I will ask someone in person to answer my question.

Why? Well, I'm often bursting at the seams with curiosity anyway, so why not do something about it? Another reason is that it will help me interact with people, especially since I will ask someone directly whenever possible. I'm not known for my stellar social skills, and hopefully this will help me get to know people better and learn to break the barriers of awkward that I often find between me and other people.

What kind of questions will I ask? All kinds. Why are stickers sticky? How closely related are rhododendrons and magnolias? How are amino acids named? Why do people have color preferences? What's your favorite color? Where did you get that scar from? What was the highlight of your day? The list could go on and on.

What will I do with these answers? Lots of things. I'll build relationships, satisfy curiosity, answer questions that other people have, discover new interests, who knows? When I discover something that I deem sufficiently interesting, I will post it here. I'll try to give at least one post per week. From time to time I will probably still post random lists, musings, and papers, but for the most part this question business will become the main focus of my blog.
