A week ago today was the Brisbane Hanson concert. Hanson are the only band I’ve seen live – excluding the odd musicians in pubs/cafes. Also excluding my husband, who I rarely see unattached from a guitar. Really. He takes his sisters as soon as we’re at her house. And he gets antsy if […]

Appreciation
Remember to feel appreciated. To feel depended upon. To be the giant pile that gets kicked, punched and screamed at when anything goes wrong. Isn’t it great to be needed? Just imagine what would happen if you weren’t there to be the person on whom all the frustration gets used up on. […]
I spread germs willingly
I am probably going to make someone sick today. My germs are spreading. Right now, I am one of those people who sits on the train, blowing their nose loudly. I have the common cold. My temperature was up & down all yesterday afternoon & I drank so much water to keep my […]
Bad Schoolgirl – Detention
As you’ve now seen, my first high school and I just didn’t get along. As a result of this, the school was also always trying to get me into detention for the things I’ve blogged about, as well as even tinier things, like not having a badge on my dress. In the first instance, […]

Having a school backpack was considered a compulsory uniform item, much like the ugly brown sack-dress and ugly brown shoes. My parents […]
Goals for 2012
Thanks to a post on Kelly Exeter’s blog at the start of this year, I’ve really been focusing on my goal for the year – Independence. You can read her post here: http://www.kellyexeter.com.au/one-word-for-2012/ I commented on this article before I even followed Kelly or read her blog. I promptly forgot about the website […]
Bad Schoolgirl – PE Classes
I had a severe accident in year 7, where I leapt over a school bench and ended up crashing down a set of grass & wood ampitheatre steps. My body hit the grass, my face, the wood. I mushed my face up good and it’s a sheer miracle I didn’t lose any teeth, though to […]
