The Void in my Head
Faith, Honour and Integrity.
The Underdog will Triumph.
Who am I?
I am a 5th year Medical Student. I am also a dog lover, a road trip fanatic and a magazine addict.
I'm currently taking up supplementary / complementary language lessons (Spanish and Japanese) and music classes (flute).
And hell no, Rose Gunner Knight is not my real name. [So don't bother googling. ;) ]
What’s happening now?
In my fifth year of Medicine.
On the side, i am finishing up on a summer research project affiliated to the prison system - to examine the side effects of one of the medical treatments of (hardcore) sexual offenders.

Satisfy your curiosity
In my opinion, only 2 groups of people would want to contact me.
1) You are dying to ask me a question that you can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
2) You heard rumours and gossips about me, and you are either feeling revolted, puzzled or just plain righteous.
Well, just be forthcoming and ask me. People who play their cards close to their chest will be annihilated by their own webs one day.
A word of warning. I hate insecure and/or incompetent people. If you are sending me an email stemming from your insecurities and incompetence, then perhaps i suggest flying a kite first before contacting me.

Principles to live by
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
--Mother Teresa
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge That myth is more potent than history That dreams are more powerful than facts That hope always triumphs over experience That laughter is the only cure for grief And I believe that love is stronger than death.
--Robert Fulghum
He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; a he who lights his candle at mine, receives light without darkening mine.
--Thomas Jefferson
One should respect public opinion insofar as it is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.
--Bertrand Russell
