I am here for Friends

About Me

If I were an artist, I would create bold, graphic, shocking and sometimes brutal images of vaginas. When asked what they meant I would respond: “Cunts are funny”.If I were a musician I would release one perfect indie pop album, the world would love it, the NME would hype it, no one would ever get sick of dancing to it and the debut single would only just miss out on a top ten charting position. Then I’d come back two years later with a two disk set of spoken word covers of Xmas jingles; when people asked why, I’d tell them “It’s a concept album about mental illness”.If I were a writer, I’d release one challenging, poetic, prize winning novel. Its raw emotion and beautiful prose would move anyone to tears. Then I’d spend the rest of my life writing the corniest, fluffiest chick-lit and blame my wasted talent on the use of anti-depressants.If I were a scientist, I’d invent a cure for all illnesses; then loose the secret (and my life) in a tragic, accidental lab fire (but not before the discovery had been announced to the press).If I were a girlfriend I’d be sweet and soft and yielding, then I’d spend the entire relationship questioning my sexuality, before finally running off with someone of a different gender to my partner.If I were a daughter I’d ace all IQ tests, grow up slim and tall and beautiful, then fritter away my looks and talent on booze and boys and bad decisions.I guess I just really enjoy disappointing people.

My Interests

For your aMUSEment

This is a slightly extended, less polished version of an article that appeared in the last issue of Oyster. I had to change the story proper, but I enjoy the ambiguity of this one... The muse is a co...

Less on?

It's a hectic learning curve, like someone just hands me this fucking guitar and says: "Hey Alyx, we want you to play something that isn't Come As You Are", and I'm like "fuck! Man, how can I do anyth...

Fly away home.

I get home from a walk around my suburb (lovely but a matter for a different blog post), sit down and feel some discomfort around my left buttocks. I pull my knickers aside in order the remove that of...

A note to Fauxhemain Rhapsody

MOST PEOPLE WHO BOTHER with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilizati...

Bugged out, right?

"You hang up first" "No, you hang up first!" "No! You hang up first" A sigh. Frustration born of tedium. "Why do we have to play this again?" "It makes me happy." "I know plenty of other things we cou...

The faux-hoe guide to underage girls and lame joke songs

So, this started as a vent about a traumatising event, and ended as a joke song about a fictional couple. Let's just hope Red Gum don't sue me for simultaneously defiling Australian culture and plagia...

An open, irate letter to Beth Ditto

Dear Beth Ditto, Let me start this by saying that I think you're an amazing singer and your songs are catchy as hell. But I also think you're wrong, not in that "ugh! She's just wrong" sense that sugg...

In which she learns first hand what "Nazi Halo" is about

I always assumed that remaining single was as effective a guard against breaking up as abstinence is against STDs, but in this crazy world, it seems that you can contract diseases from toilette seats,...

Fauxhemian Rhapsody, a user's guide

On Thursday night, as three of my few remaining single cohorts scored in one fell swoop, I was once again confronted with the reality of my own romantic situation (it's a reality I'm confronted with...
