Thanks to the power of Google, I just learned what a yurt is.

At first, I thought you were saying "yacht" in a really annoying way (staying in character), but then I realized that wouldn't really follow with the plot of the movie...

ROFL!!! Did you know there is an actual term for this type of character? It's called a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. This was a pretty interesting read:

Great Website!

I am "Motherly Scientist" who finally lets her hair down and turns out to be "Hot Scientist" kicks butt in a lab coat....

I'm the crusty old/fatherly/loveable police chief who willingly looks the other way while you go on a high speed chase to apprehend the bad guy, even though I made you turn in your badge this morning.

Because I knew your father, who was killed while we were on patrol together, and his dying words were "Look after my boy...".

And the son didn't know the true, heroic nature of his father's death until the old partner filled him on the classified details....

How on earth do you manage both of those at the same time?

I'm the overly serious student with the biting wit and sarcasm that could bring a grown man to tears because I am the best at everything yet find myself friendless with only my huge volumes of books to keep me company--until I am befriended by that one special person who sees me for who I truly am and gets me to lower my guard and transform into the quirky, light-hearted girl who loves rainbows, bubbles, and helping others put everything into perspective.

I am also the person who writes those film summaries on the back of movie jackets that you realize are not only incredibly accurate but are also all one sentence.
