Hey, I'm Caitlin.

I live in Melbourne in my second year of a BSc majoring in Genetics at the University of Melbourne. The dream is to teach and to take my music as far as I can. I don't usually write, except in flashes of mediocrity inspired by endless re-readings of Austen and masochistic rewindings of every sad moment of Doctor Who.

Quotes.

"From the very beginning, from the first moment I may almost say, of my aquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were as such as to form that ground-work of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike, and I had not known you a month before I felt you were the last man on earth whom I could be prevailed on to marry." Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet;" Juliet Capulet, Romeo and Juliet.

Donna: This guy...
Josh: Yeah?
Donna: There are some who'd consider him handsome. I don't, personally, 'cause you're the only one I find handsome.
Josh: Aha.
Donna: But for the sake of appearances, here around the office, other people wouldn't suspect I'd pretend I thought this guy was handsome if you hired him. Of course, all along it'd be a lie because of how handsome you are. And powerful.
Josh: Your sense of humor's a bit of a high-wire act, isn't it? You're really trying to thread the needle.
Donna: And half of it you don't even get. Evidence of Things Not Seen, The West Wing.

Sam: Never has a war been so courteously decleared, it was written in calligraphy, on parchment "Your Highness we beseech you on this day in Philadelphia to bite me if you please". Isaac and Ishmael, The West Wing.
