About Me

Myspace Contact Tables
Hmm... I'm a 3rd year Nursing student at UniSA who is currently living with her sis Renee! I moved from the partly lovely, mostly not-so-lovely town of Kadina on the Yorke Peninsula 2 + years ago! I currently work in an aged care facility looking after the oldies which is reasonably fun but tiring and smelly work! My family includes... a beautiful Mum, a whinging Briton but very loveable Dad (whom are no longer together but great friends never-the-less), an older brother Joel (cough*LOSER*cough) and two older sisters Lee and Nay who are great sisters, friends and drinking buddies ... which means I am the youngest and therefore the best! What makes life interesting is passion and people who are passionate! I am passionate about music and passionate about getting the most out of my life!
Low down: my birthday is the 27th of December making me a capricorn... turning 21 this year, I was originally born in Balak... bogan central... grew up in Kadina.... bogan city!, have dark brown hair and hazel eyes with long eyelashes that the oldies love reminding me about, i fear failure; sharks, big vicious dogs and giant birds, i overuse elipses and exclaimation marks, i'm a bit of a caffiene addict, i swear too much, i play the flute and can play a little clarinet too, i have a tattoo, i treasure my friends and family, I stupidly dont think before i speak or do... please see Interests! ;)

MySpace Avatars Lyrics

I hate: a lot! (and am trying to reduce this and become a less hateful person), rudeness, impatientness and bitchiness (all which i can be sometimes), Insincerity... pet hate!, being paid the same as a secretary when i wipe ass!!, not having any money, paying tax on textbooks!, the stupid man whom introduced gst and appears to be attempting to run our fair country!, that the man mentioned previously lives in Kiribilli... just such an awesome place for such a loser like him!, feeling helpless or stupid, doing nursing (uni is crap! and you know it!), ... doing so many readings (its put me off reading!), getting needles (giving is pretty fun though!), ditziness, seeing inequalities or suffering in the world, Vanessa Amorosi (she just shits me! always has!), PCD ... ughh! painful!, Sharks (they like eating limbs and i quite like mine), Earwigs, Jessica Rowe (could anyones laughter be anymore annoying?, the ridiculous amount of readings this year, work (the majority of the time) and sitting on a bus or train for longer than 30 minutes!!
