I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Don't know what you want to know, so i guess I'm just a girl who lives on the gold coast, who loves music , random nights with friends and my dog.....I'm a simple creature really.I'm currently going out of my mind with boredom at my mediocre life, I've been running for along time searching for something, anything to make me feel alive, i need a purpose to get up in the mornings, I'm yet to find it.....I don't like the Gold Coast, but I'll deal with it for now. Wanting to move to Brisbane, but until I find a way to make more money this is where I have to stay.One thing I've been spending a lot of money on over the past 12 months is Music. My best friend and I have been flying between Townsville and Brisbane a lot to see different bands, Spent a lot on tickets off eBay when we miss out on them and the only real reason we travel so much is because Nadine lives in Townsville and I'm stuck on the Gold coast if she lived down here we wouldn't travel so much. Our favorite band to see is the Butterfly Effect, and despite what some people might think, I'm not some groupie.........it's about music and what it makes me feel when I listen to it and I don't expect everyone to understand that.I hate fake people and girls who think it's a good thing to act like a Barbie doll, so basically thats the entire population of the Gold Coast....it's tacky as hell here.....I stopped drinking over 5 years ago, but lately I've found myself with a drink in my hand when ever i go out..... i also just quit smoking, lets see how long it will last.....I love body piercing and getting tattoos, uh if you want to know more send me a message, I'll try to be a bit more interesting......but i wouldn't hold your breath....xFinal Days of Autumn - Bar 388 - 23 November
Another wonderful photo of the guys taken by Nadine.... Things I like:|Music - I'd die without it | Dancing like no one is watching | Brisbane | Shoes!!! | Puppies | Caesar salad - I'm obsessing over it right now | Listening to music really loud - especially in my car | Hot Guys with tattoos and piercings.....*sigh* | Going out for a nice dinner and getting home at 6am after random events.... | Ten Pin Bowling - love it but i'm shit at it | Putting random things on my head when I'm drunk | The rush of a new piercing and the sting of a new tattoo | Fancy Dress...love being someone else for a night | Staying in bed all day on Sundays | Going to the gym and just running out all the negativity of my day | Kisses - Never under estimate the power of a single kiss | Roller coasters | Art Nouveau | Dali and Warhol | Staying in Hotels and Jumping on the beds.....| Flying | Talking peoples ears off when I'm drunk | Cooking - Nothing in particular I just love to cook. | Sitting at Starbucks in Brisbane, alone with my iPod, a coffee and a good book......then spending all my money at skinnies and comics etc. | Driving to the airport, cos it usually means Nadine is here.....|Things that I can't deal with:| Glazed cherries - ick ick ick | Belly Buttons - especially people playing with them! oh god i can't even think about it........| Little people - I know this isn't very PC and it's nothing personal, they just kinda freak me out, their legs don't bend when they run.......| Street Performers - Especially mimes...funny story.... at the Ekka this year Nadine and I saw a midget street performer, I almost had a anxiety attack. | People I don't know touching me - It's fucking rude as hell, thats not to say if I know you, touch away.....lets just keep our hand to our selves and we'll all get along | People touching my neck - I may have been strangled in a past life....even though i have a tattoo and a piercing on the back of my neck.....yeah I have issues if you hadn't picked up on it. | People on planes/trains trying to talk to me...thank you iPod!! | Clowns | Animal Cruelty | Children - they have really tiny hands.....I don't plan on being a mother at all.......| People who whistle....it's obnoxious as hell so knock it off. | Nagging | Patronising assholes | People who change lanes on roundabouts! | The Gold Coast | Sport - any kind... why does it have to be on TV all the time......| Saying Goodbye | Reality | Liars | People who Judge others | Hypocrites | Driving home from the airport cos I'm usually alone.|"I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly blood lust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip." - Patrick Bateman

My Interests

Live Music. I Don't get out enough to see the great bands Brisbane has to offer. But if it wasn't for music I'd wander the earth like a lost soul. It lets me escape.
One of most favorite paintings by Dali. I love sitting around with friends taking about the things we love, be it music, movies, travel and laughing till it hurts.I love all kinds of Jazz and was lucky enough to go to New Orleans in 2005 for The Jazz fest. I went alone and had the best two weeks. I simple adore New Orleans, such a beautiful city full of Old world charm, and beautiful Plantation Homes, such as Oak Alley which I've wanted to live in since i was a little girl.....

I'd like to meet:

People who share similar interests to myself.I love Music, nerding out with video games, watching movies and cartoons....People who don't take themselves too seriously.....People who are honest and aren't full of bullshit. Also people I can trust, I don't think there are many out there but I would love to be proven wrong.I've recently been lucky enough to meet some really cool people, so thanks to those people, you have restored my faith.My Baby, Norman and my brothers Girlfriends crazy nut bag Chihuahua Peaches! She has a massive over bite and is super cute for a pocket dog....TJ and Dani on their wedding day......two of the most beautiful and important people in my life, I hope to one day find what they have found in each other.......(Photos by the exceptionally talented Nadine....)Me, Adam, Nadine and Will - Adams last weekend in Australia, He moved to the UK the next day. Not sure why Nadine and I are lunging....we're special girls.....Me and my girls.......Anyone know what they were on and where I can get some?Just when it couldn't get any funnier, there goes bowie walking like an Egyptian.....and wait for the leg kicks at 1:36.....even funnier with no sound......Castle Hill RSL 2005 - The Butterfly Effect - Take it Away
I've got nothing........just watch the video.....Final Days of Autumn - Bad Day (my new favorite song)

Music:

One of my most favorite pieces of music ever would have to be George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue......I don't know what it is about this particular piece that had such an effect on me, it's a combination of classical music and jazz and I just love it.... The Butterfly Effect, Final Days of Autumn, Eskimo Joe, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Led Zepplin, Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Smiths, Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, Shifter.....list goes on and on.....and i'm lazy so thats it for now....I HATE Hip Hop, and RnB, and all that shit. I pretty much hate 95% of the music that is played on commercial radio.

Movies:

I love the Studio Ghibli films from Japan. They are so beautiful. But any I'll watch any Anime.....if it has vampires in it...even better.....Robert Rodriguez, Tarintino and Tim Burton are my favorite film makers of all time.I love most movies,but you won't ever see me watching a Romantic Comedy, I'd rather eat my own foot.Oohh and Horror, I just don't understand what's so entertaining about being scared to the point of crying.

Television:

Supernatural
The Simpsons
Scrubs
Will and Grace
FriendsI HATE shows like Australia's next princess or what ever the shit is called.I miss old Cartoons like Transformers He-man She-ra Voltron Thundercats Gummy Bears The Smurfs The Snorks The Wuzzles. I could go on but you get the point.

Books:

Anything written by
Hunter S. Thompson
Patrica Cornwell
Gary Larson
Neil Gaiman
Frank MillerAnything about Serial Killers and Jack the Ripper (I don't think they are cool or encourage what they do i just find them interesting.)

Heroes:

My friends, who are my life. I miss them more than anyone will ever know. I don't seem to function when they aren't around me.Nadine - Well she's my twin (even though we're like 18 months apart and aren't related at all) Nadine I'm sorry I left for 12 months.Dani and TJ - I have only known them both for about 12 months and I already know that these two wonderful people will be with me forever. Love you kids,Adam and Will - You will always be my boys. Love you both

Clearly how NOT to get a girl.......but its still funny.....

How to get a girl.1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better." This will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weak...
