Psycho, you need a spanking, but I know you are just joking around. 😛

AJT, put back the foto. Your close to 30? Cool, we need a few mature folks around here. 😀

Chaey, I'm glad you are okay and it was just the wisdom teeth. Presby is a cool place. Which department?

Junebug, your a hottie...

Sitra, if my man and I ever break up, You'll be the first person I call to pour syrup on! I'll even fight wetlightning for 'ya! 😍
 
Is it just me or is this thread like some kind of twisted AIM chatroom minus the live chat and a/s/l questions? Don't worry though I totally love it since everyone is so vain, just like me!!!

SD Skunk said:
hahah i know right? that is pretty funny, the way you worded it. i like that.

nah, she is quite the traffic-stopping stunner. i was being funny in my comment. only pre-meds like us would consider an A- to be an insult for anything.

what would you give yourself, ladyjubilee?
I'm an A+++++++ 😀 😀

AOL Instant Messenger - and yes I've had an AIM chat w/ lady jubilee about this thread! haha
Thats right damnit! First dibs on Sitra
 
It's on page 4 I believe, I put a link up. Here I can post a new picture - this is 10 minutes ago I'm about to go down town!'

um..yay

I still have no idea how to make thumbnails forgive me - ok off to get krunk and/or drunk.

Awww, ms! I'm so sorry about my being sick the other day! Stupid flu. Blah. Am better now...though sad that we never got to celebrate by having some CRAZY dessert at Deluxe. 🙁 Perhaps there is still time before we embark on our medical school careers!

I just think this whole thread is so silly. I'm glad that a lot of SDNers look like normal people - some are hot, some are average. Isn't that what makes the world go 'round? Jeez. I thought this was supposed to be a thread of levity; it's gotten really heavy over these past couple of pages. I never professed to be God's gift to men or women; I'm happily hitched (for nearly 7 years, thank you very much), so this boy - whether you view him as cute, ugly or animal-like - is off the market! I was just following instructions.

I miss your picture! Put it back! Don't let some hateful psychos stop you from keeping that cute avatar up 🙂 You're awesome!
 
just wanted to say that california is better then texas... :laugh:


* :scared: starts running for his life....*

You better run!! Everything is legal in Texas...even shooting people who trespass on your property. And this is my thread :meanie:
 
lol its ok i'm from NorCal so its pretty much just like Texas... and what kind of doctor would have a gun... oooo BTW i got to see my friend come into Prompt Care today because he crushed his finger... i got to clean it up and watch the doc try and stich it but up together...
 
abraxas said:

I don't know. Whatever type I end up being. 😉

Bring it on, son. What kind of gun you wanna shoot? 😀 I guess you could say I'm a Southern Californian who should have been born a Texan.
 
actually i will be one of the doctors who owns a gun...

See, no one can even tell how old you are. Dude, just tell everyone you're 23 or 24 or 25. They'll never know the difference. As long as you haven't gained lots of fat or smoked, drank, or tanned too much, we all look the same.
 
<--Me on my new bike.
















No, not really. But when I have the money, it will be. 🙂

My hair is colored just like yours, lol. I dyed it a red/brown and then let it grow out because I was too lazy to dye it again.
 
In another desperate plea for attention from getunconcsious, here's a more recent pic.

What better avatar for pre-med than caduces? Ive liked them sinceI can remember. I would post my pic, but medical people are supposed to look healthy. I am a little overweight, and I can guarantee the pic would not be flattering. 😱 :scared: :laugh:

I plan on getting the caduceus as my first and only tattoo after I receive my MD.
 
I think they cause certain pretenses to arise in my head, sure, but I always try to look past that and judge a poster by the substance of his or her posts.
 
i dont know why i did it, but i just read through this entire mind-numbing thread and wound up with a massive headache. i have come to the conclusion that i have been spending far too much time on this forum that seems to be saturated with useless crap, occasionally sprinkled with actual, useful information. no offense to anyone here, as i am often a culprit too in contributing to the overbearing mindlessness of sdn. i log onto this site every day with the intention of utilizing the informative threads and contributing what i can, but in the end i just get sucked into the pointless ones and waste my life away. again, not attacking anyone here. i just wanted to announce my arrival at blearly-eyed enlightenment: i need to do productive **** again. see ya guys.

Not gotten into medical school yet, I take it? :laugh: :laugh:

Productivity? What's that? I think I vaguely remember it from the days before the acceptance letters....

Thanks, girl. I work for an internal medicine practive; we provide perioperative care. Yeah, Presby's pretty laid back, as opposed to the craziness of Parkland.

getunconscious, your pic in the car is soo cute! 😍

it's ok, noboby paid any attention to mine either 🙂 i guess i was just overshadowed by chaey... anyway, i'm here too. and ajt - you just made me realize that i'm closer to 30 as well! gaah!
 
Psycho Doctor said:
how the heck am i being mean? obviously you don't read everyone else's true attacks on this board if you think i'm being mean. gee i get worse than anything i said on an everyday basis for no reason at all and i let it go. wow, this is unbelievable.
it's not unbelievable at all, ryan. let's take a look back, shall we? since you love to call anything negative said about you an ATTACK, let's have a look at some of what you've had to say about others on this thread, hmm?
Psycho Doctor said:
well that explains it b/c it doesn't necessarily look like a flattering picture, so why post it?
um... how about because it shows personality? who are you to judge? honestely. ever hear of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all... or at least use a smiley. 🙂
Psycho Doctor said:
then that's great that you're both cute and conceited, but then what i said is true, it's not a flattering picture of you
seems like a few people disagree.
Psycho Doctor said:
not really, b/c isn't he gay?
even though you are right, is there really a reason for this?
Psycho Doctor said:
obviously i was kidding, my point (since i think that was what the thread was about..as a joke, i presume) was that i didn't think i deserved all my acceptances. and i already commented i can not understand why anyone would ever post their picture as their avatar unless they were drop dead gorgeous and wanted to be harassed
again, i don't even know why you're bothering to say this. if i (along with many others) want to post my picture as my avatar, i really don't give a flying f*** whether you like it or not. i don't know why you feel the need to express this opinion over and over. and then we have this priceless series of quotes:
Psycho Doctor said:
actually i'll go study, but i'll look for your picture in the morning
...
**gasp** yes, and i'm so poorly understood
...
naw, it's not worth the search b/c i don't really care
i think everyone can judge for themselves... nobody will judge you by your avatar, because you make it perfectly clear what kind of a person you are by the way you post. i really used to think you were harmless, but now looking at what you have to say, so much of it is negative. and not only that, completely uncalled for. remember tact?
so, in response to You're even cuter than ajt.... Yum!
Psycho Doctor said:
definitely better looking
how was that appropriate at all? completely useless and rude.
Psycho Doctor said:
why not? everyone, including you attacked me for just saying i didn't think that was the best pic of someone; even he admitted he was drunk; a drunk pic of someone is not usually one's best resemblance
i think that if you have a look back, you'll see that first of all, nobody was "attacking" you, they were rightly responding to some very rude things you posted without cause. if you can't see this, i'd say you have some self-examining to do. you might want to watch what you say. 😕

fear not, getunconscious...nobody noticed my pic either 😛

you're very cute 👍
 
Myodana looks and sounds like the kind of person I want to be friends with 👍 Good job!!

was it the PBR or the photo of me in the bath that did it? 😉

:laugh: I think a combination of the PBR and the shot of you skiing in front of the rainbow... what a great pic! 👍
 
QofQuimica said:
I have to agree that you are all a fine looking bunch of people. 👍
Who ever knew that there were so many pre-med hotties out there??? 😉

Just try going to an AMSA meeting at the University of Florida. Then you'll see all of the hotties.

I've actually thought about doing the same. Who needs to carry a hospital ID badge or even wear a white coat when you can just flash your ink as proof of an M.D.?

I never went to an AMSA meeting when I was at UF, but having traveled around the world and been to several schools since then, I can attest to the hotness of the hotties in Gainesville.

Good luck at Miami deuist and remember, its orange and blue, not orange and green.

ROFLMAO at you and Deuist.

Are you getting a MD in public health? 😉 That is what the caduceus stands for... oh and it is the symbol for the Kappa Sigma fraternity. AEKDB

It is a VERY common mistake. Our medical school printed t shirts with the caduceus on it. The real symbol has a single snake and it is called the staff of Aesculapius.

Why are you using a first name here? Is it your intent to flame this person personally?! Let's have fun, can we call you by your first name? Isn't this a violation of SDN rules!? Somebody?!?!
 
I don't post on pre-allo much (I'm more of a "post-bacc" lurker), but since I'm starting my pre-reqs in June, I guess it's time to join the pre-allo gang.

So, for my (kind of) debut, I'm going to post on this thread since I actually took the time to read all of it. Anyway, here is my pic. Sorry I couldn't get all of my face, but I promise the other side looks the same as this one. 😉




Oh, and I'm also 4'11''. :wow:

But in the end, aren't all doctors concerned with the health of the public? The point of being a physician is to promote the health of the US population (though the AMA would have you believe otherwise).

first of all he ALWAYS ALWAYS makes some snide comment to me saying "you better not be coming to Penn"....now who started it? it was finally my chance to say something rude to him in return....and i don't think it was nearly as rude as he always is to me.

**sigh** Look man, no one likes you because you have a burdensome personality. All these people can't be wrong, maybe you should just accept the fact that you are an obnoxious person and leave the rest of us alone. Some people just suck ass; you happen to be one of those people.
