About Me

Hello... I'm Lach,

Firstly, I'm not going to say that I'm 'not like someone you've ever met before,' because I probably am you know. I'd hate to disappoint.

I enjoy talking to people, but forgive me if that doesn't apply to you. I can't explain why I feel the way I do about people, I just do. Thus if I talk to you, it's mostly because I think we'll get along, whilst if you have the opposite effect on me... well need I say more?

I grew up in the country, down south. Although I could be content enough down there I decided I needed to escape before the rural abyss swallowed me whole. I've been living in Brisbane for the last 3 years, just graduated from Griffith and I'm now about to begin my honours dissertation.

Despite appearing as an outgoing and sometimes vulgar extrovert, inherently I'm the exact opposite. Really depends on what day you get me.

After much introspection (I love that word)I know what I want in life and would be much happier getting ahead, then getting along more often than not.

Hope that gives you an idea to who I am.

Lach
