About Me


Previously at Uni doing a Communications degree after finishing school in 2002. Working in retail as a service supervisor but really just working to save $$ for travel at the moment. I'm currently toying with the idea of going back to Uni to do a new degree in the next couple of years.
I grew up all over New South Wales and have lived in Nelson Bay (in Port Stephens) Comboyne (near Port Macquarie) Nyngan (in outback New South Wales) and Singleton (in the Hunter Valley) before moving to the Blue Mountains in 2000 - so I've had a somewhat nomadic existence.
I love my family and friends, spending time with the other half, sushi, live shows and festivals, reading, movies, exercise, getting blind, sleeping, staring aimlessly into the distance, photography, expensive shoes, shopping, cappucinos, cats, buying stuff I don't really need, laughing, and lots more.
I adore travel, it is my aim in life to see as much of this planet as possible before I die. So far I've been a lot of places/states around Australia, toured New Zealand, and in September 2009 am off to the United States for 6 weeks which I absolutely cannot wait for!
I really love music and spend heaps going to concerts and festivals, including Big Day Out every year.
I prefer Facebook and use it far more than MySpace nowadays, so feel free to add me on there provided you're not a weirdo, stalker or someone I don't like
What Tool song are you?
You are Aenema. You are probably quite angry, mad at the world and people in it. Looking at you the wrong way will set you off. You are typically sad inside though and just want things to go away.
Take this quiz !

15 albums

So, after much deliberation, I chose the 15 albums that had a profound effect on me. They were instrumental in that they changed my life and the way I looked at it. They sucked me in and took me over ...

The Dark Knight

So before going to see The Dark Knight with Tim, I thought it would be a good idea to watch Batman Begins on the way down to Canberra first. At times throughout Batman Begins, I found myself bored, an...
