A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

About Me

For those too unimaginative to give me a nickname themselves, I answer to Tahlia, Thals, Tahls, Bagwell, T-Bag, T-Dogg, T-Bird & Slaht, and I'd like to say that my life fucking rules.
I'm a UNSW Harvard Medgeek. Yes, this does give you the right to relentlessly ridicule me. No, I won't object, because I know it's all true.
I also have awesome friends in The Ville and Balj. A lot of them are in bands that I like to promote. I'm allowed to do this because they are all genuinely talented.
My love of ska and Reel Big Fish can be traced back to discussing Goldfinger with a cool kid named Callan on Will's couch, as well as some awesome mix CDs he made me.
My [almost] life-long love of Super Nintendo, Captain Planet and some other childhood love-affairs are being expounded in Super Mario necklaces and T-shirts and lying on a jetty with my elbow in fish guts, putting on the tattoo from my 10c bubblegum.
I think it’s completely arrogant to act like we’re the only planet that can sustain life forms. The Universe is rather large, and I like to hold some form of hope that there is some form of civilisation out there that has a little more respect for the world. On this note, I think most of the world's problems could be solved by putting Captain Planet back on TV.
While I often say inappropriate things, stumble over words, and blabber nonsense, I really love the English language. But just as that hilariously sex-obsessed owner of the world's greatest mustard yellow boat/car/beast, Woody, told me, lack of frequent writing has seen my grasp of the English language falter quite a bit. Still, people with deliberately shitty spelling, grammar and punctuation make me die a little inside.
Saving our planet is the thing to do.
Who I'd like to meet:
While my opinions on many topics have changes and mellowed over the past year or so, I don't waste time with shitty friends & shitty people. There are so many amazing people in my life that I'd rather spend my time with.
I am acutely aware that the time I have to spend with those I love is limited, so I don't waste my time with toxic friendships. Simple. That said, I'll always give you a fair go; probably a few more than you deserve.
I want to meet people who positively impact my world, who change the way I view things, who will challenge and be challenged, who can admit they're wrong, and admit they're right. People who intrigue me. People with passion, beliefs morals and opinions.

And for fear of it all, for fear of ineluctability

At least once a day I toy with the idea of dropping medicine. Each day, the desire to write and draw and read claws at me with a little more ferocity. Yet I palm off these urges to some dark recess at...
