Profile for trintrin:
Hi. I'm Emily, a 19 year old American. From North Carolina, to be exact. I love teh b3ta, but I don't contribute much due to lack of talent.
Here's 5 random photos from my Flickr page:
I'm in college/university/whatever and I currently hope to become a radiographer and/or nurse. I absolutely love photography and originally wanted to study that, but I've realized that I can't make a living off of it.
I'm mental. Bipolar disorder, severe social anxiety disorder, all that fun stuff - but a lot of the time I'm ridiculously in love with the world.
I'm fat, as a proper American should be; however, I'm doing something about it, so don't hold it against me.
I'm sick of being here, but I don't know where else to go.
I love music, especially Radiohead (don't be hatin') and many others. I suffer from delayed-onset Beatlesmania, as well.
And I've just discovered Doctor Who, so I'm a bit crazy about that too.
Also, if you haven't noticed by now, I talk about myself way too much!

» Expensive Mistakes
My local hospital is state of the art, top 100 in the US, etc etc.
A couple of years ago they obtained an ultra-expensive pharmacy robot named TUG which scoots around the hospital delivering medication to various units. It's pretty much a complicated talking refrigerator on wheels - it knows its way around the hospital, can operate elevators, and dispense the proper prescriptions to the proper units.
This is totally awesome apart from the fact that it can't open doors. Instead it bashes into the door over and over while repeating "PLEASE MOVE ASIDE" until someone comes along and opens it. This can take a seriously long time, especially at night.
Stupid robot.
edit: I forgot the incident where TUG accidentally found its way into a heart patient's room at night. It sat there going "BEEP. PLEASE MOVE ASIDE. BEEP. BEEP. PLEASE MOVE ASIDE," bashing into the bed repeatedly. Needless to say the poor woman was scared shitless.

» Ignoring Instructions
abuse
When I was about 12 we had the special class about abstinence and baby-making. We all had to take home an electronic baby-thing that would cry and you'd have to stick the correct key into its back.
The teacher told me to make sure I supported its head(which was on a hinge) or the "ABUSE" light would come on and it'd cry forever.
Well, I wasn't careful enough and let its head fall back. It snapped off of the hinge and rolled across the floor, and the thing started to scream, no key worked so I had to yank the battery out.
So I showed up at my teacher's house on Saturday with a beheaded, disemboweled baby in my arms. I still passed the class somehow.

» The Police
My friend's dad, an officer in Fort Worth, Texas,
abuses his power in an entertaining and mostly harmless way. He once arrested his girlfriend and threw her in jail as part of an elaborate scheme to propose to her(she punched him before saying yes).
So anyhow, I was with said friend one day when she checked the voicemail on her phone. Her dad had left a message, as follows:
"Hey, you'll NEVER guess who I just arrested! (giggles, etc for about 5 seconds) A MIDGET! (bursts out laughing) He's so tiny! And he's MEXICAN! Oh my god, I wish I could take a picture! (yelling in background) He's obviously high or something and he keeps cursing at me in spanish..oh god I love it. So anyway, I'll call you later, love you, bye!"
And apparently he wouldn't stop talking about it for days.

» I witnessed a crime
My dad
is a vigilante, and not really the angry xenophobe type, either.
He's apprehended several drunk drivers (with my help, hooray), one bank robber, and has uncovered local police brutality. He's got a reason for doing all this - he's the photographer for our local newspaper, and his success in the past 40 years has been due to his incredible fucking nosiness.
Oh, and on his days off he uses his telephoto lens to spy on scantily-clad women. Classy.

» Hidden Treasure
gold? yes. treasure? ehh..
A friend of mine used to have a house and abandoned barn dating back to when slavery was pretty much normal in the southern US. She and I and some people from my class climbed up to the loft for the first time one day, and what we discovered was a little odd. Six or seven huge glass jugs, which were filled with a cloudy yellow something. We later found out it from the landlord that it was indeed piss. He had no idea where it came from or how long it was there. Treasure indeed.
