-In my German course, I had to do a presentation about myself and I said "Ich bin Arzt von Beruf." (I am a doctor by profession.) As soon as I said that, I thought, "Whoa, wierd..."
-As far as household chores go, I hate doing the dishes. Seriously, if I had a choice between cleaning the bathroom or doing the dishes, I'll clean the bathroom.
-Groups that seem to like me quite a bit: little children, dogs, old people, (drunken) teenage girls, creepy gay men.
-The crazy world of medicine and I are taking a trial separation. When I would tell people this, I would get one of three reactions: 1) (most people) "Wow. Good for you. You know, I wish I had done that and I think more people should do it. There will always be sick people and you have the rest of your life to be a doctor." 2) "Oh. Really? Wow..." (followed by a slow wave of jealousy that you could see wash over their faces) 3) (small percentage) "Um, what the fuck??? Are you crazy?" (My response: "Yeah, but just enough to keep life interesting."
-While here in Buenos Aires, I'm gonna volunteer in an outpatient clinic and an/another AIDS oprhanage. I'm also taking a course in Medical French at the Alliance Francaise and I'm gonna start learning basic German on top of it. We'll see how it goes.
-I love spicy food. It's tough to find down here: the Argies don't deal with capsaicin very well.
-I get extremely angry in the face of lies and injustice. But I also get extremely driven to eliminate both.
-I don't dish out anything I can't take. But I can take a lot. Therein lies my problem, sometimes...
-My favorite names for past European monarchs: Ethelred the Unready and Gorm the Old.
-I haven't been able to read much for pleasure over the last four years. I'm looking forward to cracking into my stash of new books upstairs.
-Half of what I know about home improvement I know from lesbians.
Who I Want to Meet:
I miss Brazil... No, I REALLY miss Brazil. I think it's where I belong.
uh, i just wanted to tell you that the other day, i was outside your bedroom door smearing feces on a sacrificial goat. i was hoping you would see, but you were apparently busy.
Da boo di da bu dai! Love it. That definitely brings me back. Hope all with ou is well. Are you back in MD this semester? Mi manchi troppo! Quando vedriamoci?
I miss you so much!!! I'm so busy I haven't had a chance to call you back so we can catch up... I'm so jealous you're going to Italy in March... By the way... it's my birthday in march... something to keep in mind... *hint hint*... Actually this isn't really a testimonial... Oh!! Guess what a Hot Karl is... haha
Drusano, I would have to say is one of the most out spoken ppl i've met. The guy has a quirky sense of humor that will keep you laughing and raise eyebrows. He is a guy with a lot of heart and stands behind his beliefs. All in all, Mike is a fun and dare I say controversial guy that doesn't let me forget my unfortunate email address in medschool--nude... lol. All the best men, keep raising eyebrows.
I am one eighth Irish, actually. Great-grandmother's last name was Finnerty (County Connaught, western Ireland). Btw, yes, I have encountered nuns like the one below. ("Life's not about having fun, lad!")
My compilation of Maggie, The Old Racist Vomiting British Lady from Little Britain. Enjoy.
