About Me

I'm never as witty on these sort of things as I wouild like to be, but I try my best damnit! And then I just think to myself, "Why do I have to be witty?" Then I realize that I like reading clever profiles, so I gotta keep up. Have you noticed yet that I have a tendency to ramble? Well I do.I love a good movie quote, anytime, anywhere. TV quotes too. They rock. Chances are I don't like music as much as you do, but it's all good. Just don't get mad at me because I've never heard of your obscure indi band from Murfreesboro. Love science, I'm a big nerd that way. And I don't care what anyone says, but Star Trek RULES.I'm currently at the University of Manchester in England for a Masters degree in Science Communication. You better come visit me, bitches.

And also a hot guy that is smart as hell, nice, and funny would be cool too.
