About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Me in a nut-shell: I am a PhD student in Medieval History, who has lived in St Andrews for 7 years. This is meant to explain my recurrent episodes of insanity and eloquence. I am American, but not considered so by most of my friends. There is one conversation I have had over 1000 times in these past 3 years, and it goes like this:
American tourists: now, you don't sound Scottish.
Me (trying not to display my disdain): No, I'm from near Boston.
Tourist: Oh, really? boston is a beautiful city. What brought you here?
Me: I did my undergrad degree here, now am continuing with a PhD
Tourist: Wow, well guess this is the place for it.
Me: Yes.
Tourist, variation of: Do you like it here? How long will you stay? Will you ever come home? WHY IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU STUDYING MEDIEVAL HISTORY?!?

I don't like this conversation.
Music
Like mostly older music, but hey I can be modern sometimes: Ella Fitzgerald, Frankie, Billie Holiday, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, Evanescence, The Verve, Counting Crows, Linkin Park, most soundtracks to my favourite films
Films
Too many to really name - Casablanca, Cookie's Fortune, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Cruel Intentions, Gosford Park, Indiana Jones, Last of the Mohicans, LOTR, Return of the Pink Panther, Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, Star Wars, When Harry Met Sally, Wonder Boys, Walk the Line
Sports
Football of the American variety - watching, not playing, naturally - though only the Patriots and Notre Dame, both of whom have been wee bit disappointing lately.
Scared Of
falling, mirrors in a dark room, George Bush
Happiest When
taking wanders around town, writing, cooking for other people, hanging out with friends - all the better with wine involved!!

    Hi Beth. How are you feeling? Still choked? Did you say you're working Sat pm and Sun am? I can't remember! What nights are you free next week? Speak soon. x

    As if I would dare to ignore you, I very much doubt that you miss me, but it is very kind of you to say so! I hope all is well, and I will see you soon. Graeme

    Beth, Im incredibly touched by your message, I am unsure who will fill the Graeme sized hole in your life, but you can be sure I'll miss you evert bit as much as you will miss me! I said no to the job in Glasgow, so now I have no-idea what to do, but one thing I wished to avoid was jumping into another job just to fill the gap. I hope your well, and looking after yourself, remember, just because I dont work with you anymore, does not mean that my mobile number has changed. Graeme

    Hi. My cold is still lingering, however I am feeling a wee bit better. I could come along any night this week, just let me know when you're free. Sounds like your having fun at the office! I'll give you a call tonight. xxx

    The weather is definately nice here. I'm getting more and more tanned! Pizza and a chat sounds good, we would probably end up talking through a film if we got one. I think we had decided that it wouldn't be until your 2nd week back anyway. Why do you have to move office? Hope you had a good time at the mall. I know I would if I was there (only if I had money to spend though!) Make the most of what time you have left there, right down to the last minute. Speak to you soon. x

    You always seem to get delays! Do you know what the reason was this time or was it just typical like most other airports? Hopefully the journey back will be easier! I don't think I could go camping now. It was fine when I was younger but with the vanity thing I get what you mean. I'm glad the weather is good, hopefully you'll get a tan and it's always good to see old mates especially for you (distance wise). We are still getting sunny weather here. My tan is geting better and better. You'd think i'd been abroad!! Sam wants me you and her to get a night together (That doesn't mean what it sounds like!!). I don't know if she means more people as well or if she means staying in or going out. Will get that sorted when you come back. Take it easy and enjoy the rest of your holiday. xxx
