# About me
I'm an English person living in Scotland in the midst of the Scottish referendum (today is D-day as they say...). In the last six months I have achieved my ambition of becoming a fully fledged zoo-keeper and loving every minute of it! I work with big cats, little cats, wolves, bears, lemurs and small primates (to name but a few).I live in a beautiful part of the world, albeit a cold one (apparently I'm just not used to it yet... hah!). I am still studying (zoo management) BUT this should be the last until I set my sights on a Phd... but that's years off.
I am obsessed with cheetah, pallas' cats and genets, and have been lucky enough to work closely with each! I love art, but it has been sidetracked for a long time now due to academic life, but I'm slowly trying to filter it back into some sort of routine and aim to produce or work towards something at least once a week :) I'm not too great with digital art, but I'm learning and hopefully improving over time.
I am a friendly person who will generally reply to any requests or messages I'm sent (although there can be times when I'm not around so don't be offended if it's not an instant reply). Think I've waffled on for long enough anyway! :)

Hi! I'm starting up a new Animal RP group and was wondering if you would care to join or at least check it out and help spread the word? It's called #CastersOfSociety here's a little description of what it is about
Located in the storm drain under an abandoned city is a bustling place called the Shadow Society. Within feline Witch Doctors, Rebels and Gypsies live everyday life; gambling, having Skiz Duels, and training. Outside on the cities edges are where the loners rule, biding by their own laws. But there is a new threat in town. It lies a few miles outside the city in the dark forest, the Blackshore Society. A gang of notorious felines move into this area and claim to take over the rest of the city and all who lie within it. Choose a side, master the magic within, and become a Caster of Society.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Yeah the riots are a bit scary =/ We had 10 arrests here after some of them came down from london on the train and started setting light to cars and things... other than that just a lot of rumours but no serious trouble (fingers crossed). I can't remember whereabouts you are, was it Surrey/Essex? Try not to worry about it, police are out in big force down this end now. I'm good too thanks, have you been to Willow this year?

Navia121 In reply to Oraa [2011-08-10 15:33:23 +0000 UTC]
Ah man, on the trains? o.o I hope no more come, I mean, that'd be horrible =/ I hope it all ends soon too, I don't even get why they even did this (though the reason is just, stupid QQ) and me, Hull. Nothing has happened here, we're just a bunch of cowardice people, which is good ^^. Also, I didn't go to Willow this year, wish I could have, miss Cindy, hehe. Hopefully I can go next year thought. Are you still at Willow?

God job it didn't last that long, still a lot of damage though =/ Why did I think you were more South than that heh... oh well! I left almost a year ago now, I got fed up with a certain someone... I don't really hear much about it anymore, as far as I know all the horses are ok, I know Scrag and Tiffany (the old white goat) have been put down - not soon enough in my opinion but still... other than that no idea about the animals

Navia121 In reply to Oraa [2011-08-24 18:11:25 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, it is. And too much damage imo. I don't know either, maybe 'cause you're cool? x'D. And why?! And who also?! Aww, bless them both, r.i.p ='/
I hope all horses are ok, like Cindy.

You're welcome
The cheetah photo was taken at Moholoholo Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa - she's used in a cheetah project where she is used to help promote cheetah in hope of reducing the number killed by farmers (we we're just lucky students )
