: About Me

I am a nerdy vet student, going to school in Oklahoma, but originally from the east coast. I specialize in wildlife and exotics, and love to ramble on about birds and other dorky stuff.
I'm just a nature lover who enjoys spending time watching movies, listening to music camping, hiking and playing with my two spoiled doggies.
Picture to come later.
Thanks!
