I am here for Friends

About Me

NOTICE*** No, I do NOT add sketchy guys (that's you) to my page who are just looking for another pretty face to add to their "friends" list. NO I do not want to chat to you, I have better things to do and YES I will deny your pathetic ass. I am not one of those freaks who wants as many "friends" as possible on Myspace.Yes, its true I have way too many Coach handbags. I am addicted to every flavour of vitamin water, accessories of all sorts, overpriced makeup and skincare products, shoes, fine lingerie and music. Otherwise... I am Canadian living in Canada, but I have lived in both San Francisco and NYC in my past. I got tired of living the life of a struggling artist so now I am finishing my third university degree (UPDATE: I graduated, mofos!!!), this time to become a doctor of dental surgery... I want to specialize in pediatric dentistry ideally.... I did my first two degrees at Queen's University (BScH Life Sciences and MSc Neurophysiology) and now I am home in London at The University of Western Ontario for my DDS. I was definitely the female class clown in dental school, always making my colleagues and patients laugh. Lets face it, no one likes having needles or highspeed drills in their mouth, so if I can make someone laugh for a moment and take their mind off the hardcore dentistry that awaits, my work is done; ie. "i'm just going to place a little topical anesthetic to numb the area, and by the way, it tastes like rotten strawberries". I love going out with friends and having a good time (this usually involves me getting into some sort of trouble), I am a competitive athlete who loves most sports especially racing in triathlons and playing water polo. A fitness enthusiast, I used to work as a personal trainer at Goodlife Fitness (Canada's best fitness chain) as well as teaching various spinning, yoga and aerobic classes . In university I studied Japanese and although I am not 100% fluent I can speak and read the language. I am a classically trained cellist/violinist but sadly I have very little time to play any music these days :( In my spare time (which is rare) I like to travel, paint and read. My favourite foods are sushi, sushi, sushi and cupcakes with a mountain of icing on top (but not together, haha). I love all types of music, lately I am fascinated with SIA and SADE. And lastly, if you can make me laugh really hard you will take my breath away and I will love you forever.Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart... A blonde firecracker just waiting to bust your nuts.

My Interests

I love fixing teeth, painting, fitness, music, reading, watching movies, going to the beach, taking exotic vacations, competing in triathlons and eating sushi :)

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Man Ray, Eric Dolphy, Tom Ford, Marcel Duchamp, John Galliano, Kevyn Aucoin, Gwen Stefani and Frank Zappa but that is likely impossible because half of those people are dead. Instead, I'll settle for anyone who likes Mr. Pibb and Red Vines (because they're crazy delicious).
You Belong in Barcelona
When it comes to Europe, you don't want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night.
Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night! What European City Do You Belong In?

Music:

I love all types of music... too many musicians to name. As strange as it may sound, I like "complicated" jazz. In my "youth" (haha) I was strongly influenced by: John Zorn Painkiller Masada Melt Banana The Boredoms Pizzicato 5 Sade The Ruins Arto Lindsay Mr. Bungle (Trevor Dunn) Eric Dolphy Miles Davis Chick Corea Kronos Quartet Peter Thomas David Shea Tom Waits and... MarcRibotDaveDouglasGregCohen. Travelling to NYC as an 18 year old opened up an entirely new world to me, it has now been 10 years and I still owe a lot to the experiences and musicians I met in New York who taught me so much and gave me more than they should have... I also love hip hop and my favourite album by far is Madvillain's Madvillainy. MF Doom and Madlib are amazing. Werd.

Movies:

I like documentaries and comedies... love Ben Stiller and one of my favourite movies is the Royal Tennenbaums

Television:

If I had ten minutes of free time, which I don't... I would not be watching TV. However, I absolutely LOVE Larry David and his Curb Your Enthusiasm project. As a Canadian, I still have a soft spot for The Kids in the Hall.

Books:

Too many to name... sadly, mostly dentistry textbooks these days :S However, I am proud to say that I actually HAVE read Lautreamont's "Maldoror"... it is now sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. I also enjoy finding old "Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children" comics, as I fell in love with "A Cotton Candy Autopsy" as a teenager. I am also a huge fan of TASCHEN art books. I will always have a soft spot for all books written by Douglas Coupland (as long as its not his first novel, Gen X). My fave is Shampoo Planet. I suppose I could also list Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass.

Heroes:

People who go after their dreams and those that are fearless yet positive are my heroes.

Diamonds on my neck, Diamonds on my grill

Anger, Negativity and Jealousy All three of these things suck.  I am so tired of living in a world full of angry, negative people... why can't everyone just be kind and friendly?  That sound...
