I never know what to put in these things. What sort of things do i want to say? What do i want the response to be? I don't know what to write about me that doesn't come across as me attempting to attract people and entice them into my projectile obliteration of probable crap :) so....enough digressing, intro:

 

i'm pretty much summed up by the following: ICU nurse, 3rd year immunology % toxicology student,a little nerdy, information whore, cynical, sarcastic, illogical, easily confused, overanalysing, im turned on by:

bacteria, biochemistry, climbing trees, clouds, coffee, cooking, DNA, soldering, electronic gadgets, guitar hero, immunology, my laptop, playing with PHPBB and MySQL, night-time and long nights, old things, orange tic-tacs, pepsi max, photos, psychopathology, rain, reading, recipes, science, solving equations, toxicology, urbandictionary, walking, swimming, winter....

 

So if anyone actually wants to know anything else just ask :)

Funnily enough i was listening to Mudvayne and got that phrase "we are an ape with a symbiotic relationship to a mushroom" and i had been thinking about it and arguing with myself over it for a couple of days, then decided to google it in inverted commas, wound up here, read around a bit due to general nosiness then decided to join!

elevator lock was on the money though ;) it exists and is called the Falkirk_Wheel

It connects the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, it is located in Flakrik and lies between Edinburgh and Glasgow if i am not mistaken. It's about 30 miles outside of Edingurgh, here are some directions for you, its really a feat of engineering, and if you have a day off, i think you should visit it, take some pictures and post them here :eek:

ooh, in fact, you could stop there on your way to the Glasgow science center and bring back both pictures of the science center and the wheel :agree:
