Yeah i had this random med student just start talking to me while i was getting my ID card. at first i was like wtf, but yeah he was a pretty cool dude once we started talking.
yeah i should probably warn you about cazza, if you're blonde and have blue or green eyes, he'll just come up and start humping your leg.
