Over mij

Me, Myself, and I
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time."

So, what is my current location on this great exploration?

After grafting endlessly to acquire a degree in Biomedical Sciences (Pharmacology) I have decided to torture myself with further study, another set of textbooks and even more exams. Hopefully, at the end of another 4 years of student life, I will finally land in the real world as a competent young(ish) doctor.

Living in Aberdeen during the week in order to achieve this objective, but am home every single weekend to sample Fraserburgh's unique night life (usually in the Station), and a Sunday roast.

Missing out on all my favorite hobbies though. But, am going to continue assisting Scouts and FJAS in any way I can.
People I'd quite like to meet, in no order
Dan Akroyd, David Dimbleby, Derren Brown, Richard Dawkins, Morgan Freeman, BB King, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Alan Bennett, Richard Griffiths, Bill Clinton, David Attenborough, Terry Wogan, Bobby Henderson, Richard Attenborough, Alex Salmond, Tony Blair, Charles Kennedy, Stephen Fry, James D Watson...
Films
I honestly have not been paying attention to films lately. I like finding older ones which I have heard are good but were released when I was not born or too young to care about them. Some Like it Hot, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Producers, Educating Rita, Blazing Saddles, Clue, The Big Bus, Airplane, Big. All good films that are worth a look and which are commonly found in the 'Bargain Bin'. I feel that old chestnut of a cliche coming on...'They don't make films like they used to'.
Sports
I don't actively seek exercise. I prefer passive exercise such as walking down to FJAS, and dancing around in my underwear when nobody else is home....oh shit, I let slip.
Scared Of
Monsters who eat my ears, it's just not cricket.

Social situations with too many people freak me out a bit as well. I prefer one to one conversations.
Happiest When
Pondering lifes big questions. Bizzarely I am also quite content when writing essays and studying. I maybe need to get out more.
Interests
I am a bit of a science geek. Not quite as in love with science as Richard Dawkins, but somewhere along those lines. I don't appologise for it, I just keep quiet.
I also like the outdoors, and particularly the Trossachs of Scotland. Walking through dramatic scenery floats my boat, but I don't like boats so much. I like theatre as well, much better than TV.
Tipple
A pint of lager or ale goes down well. A vodka and cola is a nice follow up to the pints. I need to add red wine to this list, and champagne. In fact there is probably very few items that would not be included here. I do not drink shots because, funnily enough, I do not enjoy the sensation of regurgitating my gastric contents.

  • Some more chat up lines for science geeks. Prepare to be swept off your feet.

    I need a seed for my pseudo-random number generator- could I have your phone number?

    Your universe or mine?

    You're so sweet I am developing insulin resistance.

    What's a nice girl like you doing in a superposition like this?

    As a quantum physicist, the moment I observed you I determined that we were heading to your place or mine.

    Of all the bars, on all the planet where conditions support intelligent, bipedal, carbon-based life forms...

    I've got some francium back at my place

    How can I know a hundred digits of pi, but not the 11 digits of your phone number?

    Looking at you, creationists may have a point after all.

    (I will never be using the last one though. Well I may avoid all of them.)

    1. Would there be any resistance if I asked to take you ohm?

    2. I love the way you smell so different from my dad.

    3. Would kissing you increase global warming and damage the Arctic irreversibly, or is it just enough to break the ice?

    4. I've had my ion you.

    5. Baby, you must be a start codon because you are turnin' me on.

    6. I don't wish to brag, but in several parallel universes I invented the internet, warned the world about global warming, ran for president and won the Nobel peace prize.

    7. Hello, I've just taken part in the clinical trial of a new drug to help memory loss; could you tell me, do I come here often?

  • The 90's

    I must have been unconscious for a fair proportion of the 90's decade as I can't remember alot of these. In fairness I am the wrong gender for alot of them.

    U KNOW YOU'RE A 90s KID IF...

    YOU CAN SING THE RAP TO "THE FRESH PRINCE OF BELL AIR"
    I never actually learned the whole rap, but unfortunately did watch the programme. Jeffrey the butler and Carlton the goofy cousin were funny to watch but I always thought Will Smith was a bit of a nob

    YOU'VE WORN LEGGINGS AND FELT COOL.

    YOU USED TO LOVE PLAYING WITH YOUR "PUPPY IN MY POCKETS"
    Theres that gender bias. I remember wearing baggies which are now only seen on hippies and folk singers. The male equivalent of the puppy in my pocket was matchbox cars I think. Well, that was the male alternative for MacDonalds happy meals.

    YOU REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY WORTH GETTING UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO WATCH LIVE & KICKING OR SM:TV.

    YOU HAD A HUGE FRINGE AT SOME POINT IN YOUR CHILDHOOD.

    YOU REMEMBER READING AND WATCHING "GOOSEBUMPS"
    Goosebumps was brilliant! Curiously, not scary enough to raise a hair, let alone induce goosebumps. I remember the older teenagers read a similar series by the same author R.L Stine but can't remember the name of them. Point Scream or something like that. I never heard my siblings crying with fear when reading them either

    YOU TOOK PLASTIC CARTOON LUNCH BOXES TO SCHOOL.

    YOU KNOW THE WORDS FROM THE SHAKEY JAKE MILKSHAKE ADVERTS What?

    YOU REMEMBER THE CRAZE OF YO-YOS AND TAMAGOTCHI'S
    Did anyone still care about the welfare of their electronic pet after the first two days? Pretty sure my one died of hunger, with a pile of its own faeces by its side

    YOU STILL GET THE URGE TO SAY "NOT" AFTER EVERY SENTENCE.
    NOT.

    YOU KNEW THAT KIMBERLY, THE PINK RANGER, AND TOMMY, THE GREEN RANGER WERE MEANT TO BE.

    YOU COLLECTED POKEMON CARDS. No, hated Pokemon.

    YOU PLAYED AND/OR COLLECTED POGS.

    YOU HAD A WEIRD ALIEN THAT LIVED IN GOOEY STUFF IN A PLASTIC 'POD' AND THOUGHT IF YOU STUCK 2 BACK TO BACK THEY WOULD HAVE A BABY!

    YOU WATCHED THE ORIGINAL POSTMAN PAT, FIREMAN SAM AND NINJA TURTLES.

    YIKES PENCILS WERE THE SHIZZ!-WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? Never heard of them, and please would everyone please refrain from referring to things as 'the shizz'.

    YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE NEW BEANIE BABIES WERE ALWAYS SOLD OUT

    YOU GOT YOUR MUM TO BUY 'BN' BISCUITS They are not very good. The continental europeans seem to lack skill in biscuit manufacturing

    YOU USED TO WEAR THOSE STICK ON EARRINGS, NOT ONLY ON YOUR EARS BUT AT THE CORNERS OF YOUR EYES.

    YOU KNOW THE MACERENA BY HEART. And sadly, this may actually be true. Must try and see how much I remember on a night out

    "TALK TO THE HAND" ENOUGH SAID.

    YOU REMEMBER THE TIME BEFORE LITERACY AND NUMERACY HOUR EXISTED.

    YOU THOUGHT BRAIN FROM "PINKEY AND THE BRAIN" WOULD FINALLY TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

    YOU REMEMBER BUM BAGS. Not just an object of the 90's. The technology for keeping your holiday money safe has now been developed further. Bumbags are now available in an odd skin type colour (Not even close to the colour of any real persons skin, probably the same colour as the embalmed cadavers I saw in anatomy classes) which can be worn under clothes and fool any potential thieves that may be lurking around your person.

    YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ON FUN HOUSE
    Those go karts looked brilliant. And the opportunity to touch Pat Sharpe's mullet

    YOU COLLECTED TAZOS.

    2 WORDS, SPICE GIRLS. Nothing to be proud of. GIRL POWER! Get oot ma face

    I know that the scouts were certainly in Fraserburgh in 1910/11. Thats when the BB disappeared. There is also quite a bit of Scout advertisements and items in the Fraserburgh Herald at that time. Your centenary year will definately be in the next three years.

    The first 1st Fraserburgh - where John T. May was an officer - was attached the the South U.F. Church. Maybe he didn't care about denomination. It states in his obituary that he was involved in the Scout Movement but mentions no Troop. He was blown up at sea during the war. If I find anything I will let you know.

    Hello there - you may be able to help me?

    Which Scouts were you attached to, which church were they attached to, and when was the Company founded? :)

    I thought you were in the 1st? The reason I ask is that I'm looking at the original 1st Fraserburgh BB Company of 1907. They disappeared by 1910 and I think you pesky scouts played a part in their downfall.

    I found that one of the original BB officers, John Tait May (c.1883-1917), went on to play a part in the Scout movement in Fraserburgh (traitor). :P

    Hello Daniel.
    Thanks for the congratulations. :)
    The reason you haven't seen my photo in the herald yet is because the buggers haven't printed it yet. I only graduated 6 weeks ago! haha Next year is looking dodgy as I have not heard back from the university regarding that postgraduate course I appied for. I was messed about by one of my referees which means my application is running later than I would have liked.

    Yes - the SNP have taken an unpopular decision. I am convinced this will do them no favours - particularly with relations to the US. There was obvious politics involved in the decision. Kenny MacAskill even managed to slag off Wesminster in his statement. They criticise Westminster for interferring, when they stay silent they are criticised as well.

    Yes, the bus service is still crap. My bus broke down yesterday just outside Foveran. The service is supposed to be improving though - busses every half hour instead of every hour. So we will see how that goes.

    I will be staying at home next year too. If I'm going to be a freeloader, I may as well do it properly. :)

    Sounds brutal. Good to hear you have your bible ready to counteract his. ;)
    I have finished the dissertation. Just needs to be polished up a bit, but is essentially done. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm having a harder time with the current politics essay.
    I am in the middle of applying for my postgraduate course now. Have a meeting next week. I will be doing a M.Litt (if they accept me). Can't really be arsed, but I'll have to do something.

    How are you getting on living in Aberdeen?
