Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp?

And your fingertips
I like the way that you move your hips

Self Description (and then some):
A Disclaimer: Before you friend request me you need to know that I am often very blunt; if you cannot withstand criticism, then do notask me for my opinion. Contact anyone in the top 10 portion of my friends list, chances are they've known me for an extensive period of time and will be more than happy to attest to the simple fact that I shoot straight from the hip, and very seldom sugarcoat things.
So, please, if you cannot tolerate a dose of reality, save me the trouble by not adding me to your friend list. It'll save both you and I precious time.
Thank you. [ end disclaimer ]
Blah, blah, blah.... Not so important stuff goes here... Fluff and filler...  I had something of worth typed here at one time, but My Space farted, and deleted the majority of my profile, and I've just been too lazy to really write anything of such grandure since.  So instead I've decided it to be in my best interest, and that of my avid readers, to fill this space with as much mindless dribble that I could possibly fantom.  Lucky you.
I'm 30 year old college student (it's my safety net) looking to find a nitch in the medical field. My choice of study is psychology and art therapy. Although due to recent events (well probably not recent by the time you read this), I've decided to change my specialty to Gastroenterology, because it dawned on me: I'd much rather deal with people's shit on a more literal than figurative level. Loverly image I painted there for you, huh?
Um... there isn't much else to say about myself, considering that I'm not constant, I'm ever changing... not in the psycho RED DRAGON sort of way, just in a natural learn as I go way. There really isn't anything spectacular about me that needs to be mentioned here other than I'm ill, and will always be ill... there isn't anything I can do, aside from major surgery and even THAT isn't too promising an outcome. I'm not bleak, broody, or otherwise deathdefingly awesome. I am what you see, which is as common as the next.
A Glance at My Medical History:
I was diagnoised with Ulcerative Colitis in 1997; Crohns Disease in 2002; and Wolfe-Parkinson-White Syndrome in 2003. Blahblahblah.
I had a cholecystectomy on June 3, 2007 and am quite content with my decision; I opted for the Laparoscopic Method, so there isn't a huge, jagged scar.
I have an infusa-port in my upper right chest wall, and a scar on my left chest wall where the old one was removed. In fact, I've had multiple surgeries over the years, and wear my scars proudly.
In 2003 I had my first Cardiac Ablation(surgery where they enter the heart via a major artery through the groin) at Crawford Long Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly after in 2004, I had a second at Charlotte Regional Hospital, in Punta Gorda, Florida.
I took part in the CCFA's Walk for a Cure held in Atlanta, Georgia JUNE 1, 2008.
Marital Status: Single by default. A lot of people say that I am limiting myself by requiring that anyone of interest meet standards I've set -- (i.e., must be at least six foot, no extreme emotional baggage, psycho ex-wives or girlfriends).
A sense of humor is nice, as is having a firm tolerance of the world around you, and a taste for adventure would be a considerably nice perk.
Got to be passionate for the little things in life that make things just worth waking in the morning.
Being adorably irresistable helps, too. . . .
I've dealt with the Male-Bitches, Whiney Complainers of the World, Emos, Pseduo-Goths, Punk-a-bees, Freaks, Assholes, Selfish Pricks, Clingy Crybabies, and Drama Whores... Been there, done that. It wasn't cute when I was 20, and it's especially not cute now I'm 30.
My sense of humor is dry, sarcastic at best.  I can be funny ha ha if I really want. I tend to go over peoples' heads, which really worries me...  I don't like having to explain things, or put them into simple terms if I'm talking to an adult of mild to high intelligence
I'm quiet at times, but that doesn't mean much of anything, other than I've nothing to say, or I'm tired. Eh... what else bantering blather can I put on here? Oh... yeah... I’m not up-tight, I don’t have a stick so far up my ass that I spit bark every morning, and I am not a ‘cold fish’ (although I’ve had men call me that, generally after I’ve rejected their unwanted advances). If you knew me, you wouldn’t be so quick to judge.
True, I can be stand-offish, but if you give me reason to trust your motives, you’ll quickly see the proverbial wall crumble. I’m not entirely as mean as I portray myself to be… even I admit to that. Just give me some raison d’être to allow you into my comfort zone, and see for yourself.
Random bunch of sunshine: I'm a descendant of Peter Scheuermann who was born Dec. 12, 1793 in Kleinostheim, Bavaria who arrived in New Orleans on the ship Seth Sprague from the port of Harve, Germany on June 17, 1848. Interesting tidbits of info, eh?
