Hi everybody!
I've been checking out this site for a wee while but decided to register and post today as I've just received my new set of fire pois!

I live in Dundee, Scotland and work as a field ecologist. I am driven by a love of biology- anything to do with the natural world, habitat conservation and amazing plant science and I'm there!

I love to feed my head with books on everything from 'End of the line' (a brilliant book about the state of the worlds fisheries and oceans) to 'American Scream' (Bill Hicks' biography). I slide to the subversive, social ecologist way of thinking and would fly the BLACK & RED flag if I was into flag twirling.

I used to sing in this all vegan punk band called Eat Yer Greens! We were pretty political in our lyrics/actions and did a CD and toured Ireland. It was loads of fun playing all over Scotland! Now I play drums in this new band I'm working on called Outwith, it's kinda a psychedelic stoner punk affair with hippied out Earth ideas. Yeah, OK, I'm a hippy at heart I suppose ubbloco

I'm 23, just graduated last year with a BSc (Hons) in Biology, and I love to dance about, jump about, cycle about and eat lots of veggies!! My favourite things are: mushrooms, trampolines, punk records and bonfires!!

Well that was my first post, I'm Mhairi, hope I'll be able to keep visiting and get to know some of yoos!!bounce

wavehello welcome

Props to the veganism, it's hard work! My girlfriend is veggie (has been since she was around 4yo) and had to move onto a vegan diet cuz she found she was alergic to dairy products. It was a really tough thing to do but she seems to be coping quite well.

I know it's a bit of a drive but you should get down to edinbrough sometime, some very nice people with lots of skills to play and learn with.

And your taste in books and music is exemplorary smile I like your name too, where does Mhairi come from?

Let's relight this forum ubblove

what a brilliant welcome from you all! These boards seem pretty friendly!
In reply to some of yer comments:

As a field ecologist I have been studying soil ecology, which is soo interesting- like I've always been into plants and animals and beasties and habitats/micro habitats but under ground ecology is fascinating! Now I'm doing some plant physiology and insect stuff which is great fun!

Being vegan can be a bit of work but I love cooking for myself + friends. Washing and chopping and cooking veggies and ending up with a gorgeous + healthy dish is heaven!! I love it!

Also, Dunc, I often go down to Edinburgh to different punk gigs/festivals! I used to live down there too! I've met up wi some folk who do poi but that's about it. My old band played a gig at this protest site in Bilston woods (action to stop this biotech company chopping down this ancient forest for a more direct road to there site!) which was ace and some of us did poi and diablo for extra amusement!

The Name Mhairi is Scottish Gaelic and should be pronounced
V-arry (you see?) but I have always been called M-arry. It's something to do with talking to me Vs talking about me!

OK, last bit of news: I'm going out to the beach now with my sister- She is just back from living in Japan for the past couple of years and has come home with my new neice!! Hannah Skye who was just weighed yesterday at 10pounds 8oz!! She is a wee stunner- world look out!! ubbrollsmile

Hi there Ismellsmoke,

I've just moved to Dundee... Are you still here? Fancy a spin sometime? Anytime?

I'm only here for about 4 weeks, so I hope you get this.

smile

I am glad this is an international game - I learnt in school that the world spins, and now I know it's true.
