About Me

35 yo (and sticking to that) single female with one dog (a Shih tzu), Dentist by profession (DMD, not DDS- same thing) I am working towards becoming certified as a Forensic Odontologist (dentist) and would also like to obtain a Graduate Gemology degree. I have a pretty dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and am often accused of being a smartass. Personally, I think I should be made Queen of Smartasses. I have a weakness for a Scottish brogue, especially from the well-formed mouth of Gerard Butler (check out my pics and you'll see it's not just his mouth that's well-formed :) My other passion is collecting gemstones, especially rare stones and unusual cuts. I am typically very blunt, honest, and difficult to offend. I also tend to be stubborn as all hell...one of my more endearing qualities. A few of my favorite quotes... "Thank Fuck" - G. Butler :) * "Man plans, God laughs" * "The world breaks us, every one, but sometimes some of us are stronger at the broken places"- Hemingway * "Courage grows stronger at a wound"- Scottish Motto * "When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings"-Sting * "Write this down as I stated, I like my funk concentrated"- Prince * "How beautiful do the words have to be, before they conquer every heart? How will you know if I'm even in the right key, if you make me stop before I start?"- Prince again * "Nobody said the race was fair, but I'm gonna keep runnin' just the same"- OK, last one from Prince for now. * "You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them"- Malcolm Forbes * "If you fall down 10 times, pick yourself up 11"- Unknown * "It's not just that you're never coming back to me, It's the bitter way that I was told"- Roy Orbison * "Expecting the world to treat you kindly because you are a good person is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian" * "So this is where you end, and you and I begin"- had to sneak in another Prince quote :)......Now, I'm no fan of guns, but if I HAD to have one, I think this Hello Kitty assault rifle is just darling... This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

No one as much as Gerry Butler...

Short, But Funny

The fact that I set off the smoke alarm tonight whilst cooking dinner, just as the fire marshal was knocking on my door to do his post-tornado inspection, is funny- right?? This blog needs a litt...

I Learned To Cook At My Mother’s Knee

..> OK- for starters, I learned to cook at Mom's knee because it was much less smoky down on the floor... A crusty, smoky, villainous friend of mine was recently commenting on the wonderful home-...
