About Me

I am an obsessive-compulsive stenographer living in Hamilton, New Zealand. I have one ovary - I would like more but the damned thing just won't grow back. I love my job. I also love smoking and have no intention of quitting until it's time for BABIES. I am married to the best person in the world - a completely tolerant, understanding and wholly loving Adonis who I somehow duped into ending up with me. Astounding. I spend my days working, studying part-time and watching disturbing British comedies - the darker, the better. I like feijoas.

So the ambulance people want to charge me $54 for my little collapsing stunt the other week. Needless to say, I’m pretty miffed by that. $54 for looking at me cynically and taking my blood press...
