About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep it real

ABOUT ME

Closet rom-com watcher, suppressed sceptic, hope to be first Australian member of the Wu-tang Clan.
I have curly hair.

When I was in highschool nobody realised I had braces cos I didn't open my mouth very much.
Have been living in Darwin with my father for a year and a half, and we don't fight very much. But now I've left the dirty northern village, so all is good!

Have, less than successfully, tried to be a DJ, stand-up comic and t-shirt maker in the past. Look forward to more failed, under-thought-out plays for fame and money in the future.

Have been called a social critic in the past, I don't get along very well with shallow, vacuous people, and I seem to repel sociopaths, which I guess is a good thing.

My mind sometimes spins out of control and I jump to the wrong conclusions and since I have already opened my mouth I cannae take them back. It sucks but I continue to work on it...

PHILOSOPHY

To accept things as they are, not as they should be, at least until I'm in a position to actually make a difference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to get out of CHCH with a smidge of my dignity left intact. Would've been nice to have some money as well, but hey, stooges can't be choosers...
