About Me

Trust me, I'm a doctor. Yep, that's right. A doctor!

What the heck am I doing sitting on my keister? I gotta find me one of them jobby things. ;) See, I even have good grammar. That should get me hired for sure.

My boyfriend Atkins is one of the good ones. He puts up with my crazitude like a champ. I can't wait to start the rest of my life with him! It's funny that I met him at summer camp, huh?
Anubis, Loki and Raika are the real leaders of the household, though. They have us very well-trained. It's amazing what a well-placed 'meow' will get you! Unfortunately, they are still not getting along well. There's hissing and fighting and stress (oh my).
I have never really lived outside the Colorado-Wyoming area. Not since I was quite wee, that is. I'm not really sure what to expect or what to do. While I'd love to stay here, it seems less and less feasible as time goes on. We'll have to see where life takes me.

My Interests

Feline medicine! I like other aspects of vet med too, though. Exotics, for instance... Ophtho, and yes, Derm.
One day I will create art again! You hear that, world? Watch out!
I have many interests. Acting, movies, cats, friends, board games, video games, hiking, biking, etc. I like to keep it mixed up... when I have the energy. ;)

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to contact friends from elementary, high school and undergrad, to see how they are doing and to keep in touch. Normally I am a horrible penpal. I thought this would be more efficient.

Or I'm lazy. You decide.

Music:

Let's see... I like a lot of music.
Ever heard of Hungry Lucy? Well, you have now. Spread the love!

Movies:

See Stranger Than Fiction. Good movie! I also liked The Fountain, which not many people saw. And others.... to be named later.

Television:

My favorites right now are Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs and the Office. Though I will watch some of those crime dramas occasionally. It all depends on how much I need to escape. ;)
I can't believe they cancelled Rome! It makes me sad... Of course, if the budget runs out, not much can be done.

Books:

Right now, I am reading The Scar by China Mieville and Atkins and I are reading Ender's Shadow now.
One of my favorites is Veronika Decides to Die, by Paulo Coelho. I hope to reread it soon.
Neil Gaiman! I have enjoyed everything I have read of his.

Heroes:

Apply Within

Job searching

Guh.I don't like it. I s'pose that no one likes rejection, but to go from 3 job potentials and get none of them is rather disheartening.I don't even know where to start now! I know, I know, you have t...

Insomnia is my enemy

I am getting really sick of not being able to sleep, or sleeping very poorly. I can blame a lot of things, the cats, the heat being left too high, etc etc. But the end result, despite the cause, is th...

Random thoughts for discussion

#1. The past seems to be something that never really goes away. It's easy to say that one needs to learn from one's past and then move on, but it's much more difficult to do this. I have found that I ...
