I am here for Friends

About Me


I like eating plants.
I am a left handed boxer.
In six months I will receive a piece of paper that says I'm an archaeologist.

My Interests

Maps in every capacity, taking up old hobbies I had forgotten about like trying to dig a hole to China in my backyard. Also, writing limericks in classical Latin.

I'd like to meet:

Some manner of talking lion. Or a garbage truck full of pathos.

Music:

I won't start anything I can't finish

Television:

Footballers' Wive$, The Bill, Neighbours

Books:

Siddhartha - Herman Hesse, The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien, Confessions of St. Augustine

Heroes:

The guys dropping concrete blocks into dumpsters at 8am outside my window. Dumpsters full of pathos?

My Blog

Mitten, sweet mitten

I love my family to death and it's great to hang out with all the trees and little forest creatures but I need to GTFO. Sooner rather than later. What will be my next adventure? Back to Perth for grad...

I'll be home soon

I never check myspace but apparently I missed a lot.So I'll be home soon. I leave Perth the 23rd and I'm going up to Exmouth for awhile, then Karajini, then Broome, then across the Kimberleys to Darwi...

A Scentless Apprentice

107 degrees at 4pm should only occur six inches from the molten core of the earth. Or, alternatively, Perth. I'm not too keen on this weather but it's getting more bearable by the day. I'm wondering w...

Just finished my last exam for the semester. Fuck they're not kidding about this crap. They have more freedom in communist China. I had to have someone accompany me to the bathroom. I wish I were joki...

it's about 900 degrees outside and that's a low estimate

I'm not sure if I'll be able to stomach a Christmas where there are no pine trees, no snow, no tinsel, and no crackling fire. Here Christmas means sweating your ass off outside in a lawn chair, swatti...
