What are your passions?
I never really think of anything I do as a passion. However I quite often find myself thinking about biol related stuff and thinking "even though some of it's a bitch, this is SO what I wanna do." I shudder everytime I think that if I passed the TEE I would have done psychology or english or something equally scary.
Why Biology?
It's proper science, I was getting sick of black and white areas. But then of course, there ARE grey areas but again, that's only because ethics is bought into it. On the level of pure science it's all black and white.
And it's nature doing what she does. I'm also interested in stuff like astronomy, vulcanology, geology, metrology etc because it all works in conjuction with biology, it's all nature doing her thing. I like that. It's something steadfast, unlike anything done by humans. When we are all dead and gone nature will keep on keeping on.
And I love animals, have all my life. :)
Where are you heading in future?
Hopefully towards a degree. Travelling to beautiful places around the world and nature geeking there. Getting a nice house by the beach to live in... that's where I want to head. Where I AM heading? No idea, I can't see the future, I don't really want to.
Do you think you'll ever stop loving your ponies?
I don't really know. Collecting has slowed down recently due to lack of money and the G3 ponies (G3 = third generation, the new guys). But I still like to sit in the ponyroom and look and reminisce and sometimes even play. I often think of all the money I could get if I sold them. But I just couldn't do that. I place to many memories in objects to free up my mind for other information.
Do you think of yourself as a geek of any sort?
You know the answer to this one. I am a Nature Geek!! Coined the phrase myself, don't'cha like it?
As for computers I seem to know just enough to be dangerous.
What's your dream job?
Wildlife studier/photographer/writeabouterer extrodinarre. I want David Attenborough's job. The places he's been!! The things he's seen!! Bastard!
What's your favourite flavour of icecream?
To have topping - Connesuir Bourbon Bean Vanilla
Cheap from the supermarket - Cadbury Caramello (Light Honeycomb close second)
Expensive from the supermarket - Cadbury Crunchie
From ice cream places - Baskin Robbin's Honeycomb one was droolworthy. Gelare lemon sorbet, Gelare's mint chip fudge, Gelare's choc chip chunk yoghurt. Heavenly
What things are currently on your wishlist?
A bunch of geek books (just get me the entire popular science section at Boffins.
Those new fangled cup bra thingys.
To move out, into somewhere nice with people I can get along with.
