CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm 22, living in Sydney. Studying nursing at the moment after a few years of stuffing around with other things. I love to have a good laugh. Until your belly aches and your cheeks hurt. Otherwise I get into stuff pretty enthusiastically, and quite unsuccessfully try to induce others to do the same.

PHILOSOPHY

"I smile, of course,
And go on drinking tea."
