This was one of the best times of my life. The UQ Newman Catholic Society's 1920s Ball!
A few of my musical influences [AKA the bands who have banners when I actually went to look for them] :)
My faith, Music (listening, playing, writing), photography + photoshopping, ART!, thinking [which I do extremely well, tuvm], melodic freestylin', speaking (apparently i do this very well too), writing + english + journalism, creative thinking, cooking (especially when my food turns out fantastic), uni, living life to the full (i.e. with all ups and downs)
Anybody really. The more random the better!
Definitely Jesus, my best friend. Actually...wait...he's sitting right next to me! Woot yeah?!
