punkrockofdoom@yahoo.com Bio*i went to music school as a performance major, and here i am a vet student. to anyone who thinks these subjects are completely unrelated, you try listening to a metronome for hours/months/years on end and then spend the day monitoring anesthesia. then come talk to me. beep. beep. beep. beep. beep. all snide remarks aside, i wouldn't have done it any other way. while everyone else is ripping out their hair over finals, i'm playing vaughn williams in the auditorium at 2am.
*i used to live at a vet hospital. one can guess that i absolutely love animals. they fascinate me. i think it has something to do with the fact you need to actually try to communicate with them. or perhaps the fact that they communicate in subtle manners- a manner in which i feel i do too. that and my cat has proven himself to be more intelligent than half the guys i've dated. and better company.
*i am a music nazi to the point where it's almost out of control. for this i make no apologies. but it's not personal. i don't dislike someone just because of their taste in music- but i will grimace painfully and hold my tongue.
*some people think i live to argue. i actually don't. i hate arguing. but i can't seem to stop myself. it's a vicious cycle. i'm ornery and i'll apolog-... ehh, no. i'm not sorry for being argumentative. nothing ever changes because someone is sorry.
*i am a fairly easy going person, but i do have a long rotating list of pet peeves. currently, permanent ones include uggs and the atkins diet. and GODDAMMIT. USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNALS, ASSHOLE. you can cut me off all you want as long as you USE IT, you ASS. and if you have 3 young children in the car, and you pull something illegal and completely stupid, don't flip ME off in front of YOUR children. you are such a wonderful role model, that if you were my mother, i would probably think running in front of cars on the highway is a GREAT idea and i'll get right on that. i also have a serious distaste for ignorance, racism (get over yourself, already), and girls who pretend to be lesbians/make out with their female friends for the sole purpose of attracting male attention.
oh, and the letter "u" and the letter "r" are NOT. FUCKING. WORDS. and the appostrophe is a useful tool of punctuation that has the right to be used properly. grammar. try it. using it properly forces people to - brace yourself - take you seriously.
it's Y-O-U. it's A-R-E. SPELL CHECKER PICKS THESE UP AND CHANGES THEM FOR YOU. use it in your text messages, whatever. emails to your collegues, professors, or bosses? unacceptable. formal writing? seriously people, how long do you spend in school?
*i swear a lot. but not around your parents, don't worry. and capital letters irritate me sometimes. i'll use them in formal writing. i'll use them in emails to people i don't really know or have some semblance of authority over me. but as for the rest... screw it. i have nasty tendonitis and the shift key just irritates it further.
*i don't know shit about movies. i don't even know what half of them are about. this is why my idea of a fantastic movie is muppet treasure island or hook. or hell, any pirate movie. or zombie movie. or why i have an obsession with hockey or dance movies. go ahead. laugh. i don't care. i've never needed to entertain myself with movies, i chose music instead. and a kickass soundtrack can make a "shitty" movie first class.
*sleeping is overrated. i'll sleep when i'm dead. or if i could actually fall asleep when i wanted to... eh, either way. you'd be surprised how much work you can get done over the course of four days.
*i am far too passive aggressive for my own good. thank my mother. she's very proud.
*my ocd requires all notes in my notebooks to be of the same color ink. and BLUE. the pen must be BLUE. i also can't stand it when micropipetter tips are multiple colors in the racks. or when the paperwork numbers are out of order. typos on powerpoint presentations make me twitch. in fact, you can show me a professionally executed, well-designed presentation, and the first comment out of my mouth will be the typo on slide so and so. i never had this problem before pre-vet. but i guess that's what happens when you're right brained and then your left brain moves in with a steamroller.
*i've always wished i could be trilingual. i'd even settle for bilingual. i'd love to pack up and go to vet school in a different country and not be the stupid american kid who only speaks english. sadly, we all tend to take for granted how fortunate we are.
*i am in dire need of culture shock. i need a better perspective.
*i don't have a goddamn clue about how anything goes on.
