About Me

My Favorite MySpace 2.0 Layouts

I'm nothing other than your average 25 year old...apart from a few things...I own my near-new car outright, I have two degrees, and I am the size of your average 4 year old (but I am yet to be the shortest member of the extended family). I spose sharing the stage with Adam Hills twice in one night kinda makes me stand apart from the crowd a little too...
I'm a social worker. I am currently searching for jobs, would love to end up working in a children's hospital, but I need to build up my skills before that happens. I don't think I'll be doing social work my whole life, but you've gotta start somewhere.
I live for comedy. I love stand-up, Adam Hills is by far my favourite, not only is he funny, but he's a lovely guy too. Don't mind a bit of physical comedy either, ala Lano and Woodley and the Umbilical Brothers. Have a soft spot for musical comedy, especially Sammy J and Tim Minchin, and Paul McDermott in his many guises.
I'm a bit of a sucker for live music too - whether that be a successful international artist, or local pub bands.
Street performers also spark my interest - they're just so damn clever. Have seen quite a few over the years at the Taste, and have become so intrigued with the art that I ran away to join the circus for a few days in Feb 09.
Travel is something I have begun dabbling in. I am slowly making may way around Australia, as I figure if I can cope ok in Aussie cities, I won't freak out so much when I eventually head overseas. The UK is defiantely on the cards, as well as anywhere I have friends/family to help me out, either with accommodation, or tour-guide duties. Also where there are comedy or street performance festivals on....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who have a passion to live life, laugh, have the guts to have a go, and don't take themselves, or life too seriously.
