Oooooooh, it works, I totally agree with you. Dean is totally someone that HAS to have a purpose and having a purpose makes all the other shit of life worth it.

I should totally be writing my PhD on the Grand Unified Theory of Dean, because I spend more time thinking about it than I do about geophysics. *sigh*

Totally with you there. If only doing experiments or reading immunology articles was as much fun as fandom or plot bunnies. I'd have totally finished my phd in four years instead of slaving away still in my sixth.
