About Me

I think that my life can be summarised simply by the phrase 'a fridge of full of condiments and no food'. As a new resident of Sydney, I have already stopped grocery shopping like I am anticipating a nuclear winter (or feeding fellow inmates) Dear Chuck was right when he said that what we own ends up owning you, even if he did steal most of his ideas from others...I swore that I would never have a blog, particularly on myspace, but here I am! One of the key selling points of moving to Sydney was that I was going to live by myself and that I was going to have endless hours to write and finish many of the cultural pursuits that I haven't considered for several years. So far, I have barely even emailed friends and family and have spent (on occasion) far too much time on MSN.For those that are just signing up to be my 'friend' so that they can have a long list of lame photos and feel good about themselves... My interests include long walks along the beach and romantic evenings in front of a fire. I am dedicated to saving the starving children of (insert country here) My idea of a perfect holiday is being serenaded on a gondola. Ha! I have just one word that can summarise most of my life and interests - PONY!So, in the tradition of all great blogs that have gone on myspace before me, I can promise many things - 1) This will always be out of date and updated infrequently 2) It will all be about ME, ME and ME 3) That I will post a picture of myself and my black fringe. 4) At some point in the future, I will make sure that I figure out how to get this blog to play 'The Used' whenever you open it 5) Teen anguish. I may now be a dreaded twenty-something, but that doesn't mean that I can't write bad love poetry and complain about how controlling my parents are. 6) Poor spelling and grammar, resulting in many crimes_against_the_english_language

My Blog

Marooned

Wow. It's been a crazy few weeks. It seemed that only a few weeks ago it felt like my entire world was falling apart at the seams with no chance of salvation. Sydney was getting to me, my boy situatio...

Three days in a leaky boat

I would like to start being stating that I am not under water. Sydney is nowhere near the Hunter region. It is not flooded here and the pouring rain stopped on Saturday evening. And anyway, I can swim...

Erin finds true love in Sydney

I never thought that I would find it in Sydney. But it's here - a decent cup of coffee. Admittedly, it's a good 20 mins pilgrimage from my place but it's definitely worth it. My physio has given me a ...

Rocking the suburbs

It's official. I am clearly a pseudo-intellectual after spending the weekend in the suburbs. It was great to spend so much time with my step-family, to feel like I do have family here in Sydney. There...

Two feet on the ground

I am proud to announce to the world that I finally have two feet on the ground. Admittedly, I currently walk like someone with a serious mental illness and can't travel any great distance yet but I fe...

What the f*** is wrong with you people?

[commence senseless and self-centred rant]I love my family, I really do. I know that it's been a long time since I have lived at home and several of my close friends feel more like family than anyone ...

Teenage angst in three parts

Lester Burnham:. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once,...

War on Dust Bunnies (and the Convenient Truth)

Let's face a very obvious fact here. My apartment literally looks like a bomb hit it, I know it's a cliché, but it looks like a giant cluster bomb went off and spread fragments of filth throughout my ...

And why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

This morning I couldn't get out of bed. I felt the searing pain in my ankle the minute I tried to swing my cast onto the floor. All that I could picture was the 3.5mm by 5.0 mm syndenois screw boring ...

Now 5'4'' and covered in plaster

I must admit, I don't think that I have ever been over 5ft. The idea that I have crutches that tell me I am 5'4'' excite me. Admitedly, the pain and the swelling aren't so good, but it is important to...
