seriously? what would we do without those moments of insanity that provide clarity??!!

About Me


When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively. Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to DANCE NAKED over the remnants of the still glowing embers.
-Edward Monkton


california girl, born and raised, now transplanted in scotland and LOVING IT! in my third year of veterinary school at glasgow uni. why scotland? it was the only school i applied to and they were stupid enough to accept me. i never really thought i would get in .... really. besides, if i was going to pack up all my crap and move away to vet school, i wanted to GO somewhere!
i have an annoying habit of laughing at the most inappropriate times, enjoy trying new things, can't stand racism, have a sick sense of humor and am too independent for my own good. no idea what i am doing in the future...other than finishing vet school...and i kinda like it that way. i am enjoying being free and adventurous. anything else you want to know...just ask.
Romance is dead. It was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.
-Lisa Simpson

I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to love. I don't lose my head, and hardly anyone penetrates my heart. My ideal Valentine's Day date is all about the person I'm seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)
My flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic
What turns me off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays
Why I'm hot: I don't just play hard to get - I am hard to get

My Interests

caffeine (much better now i have the skills to set up my own IV drip), sex, friends, sex with friends, vodka (makes sex with friends more fun), pin-up art, piercings and tattoos, moto gp, american football, rugby union, ceroc and swing dance, '65-'68 mustangs (I'm a ford girl), motorcycles, collecting pint glasses and those little stickers on bananas, elephants, sea turtles, polar bears, chocolate chip cookie dough, refrigerator magnets, pens that click, foreign cultures, sewing, knitting, cooking, small shiny objects, basically anything that distracts me from studying...

WILLOW
