WOW what a time warp - below is my profile from 2009 (read it for a laugh)....In 2020 a very different person will be hosting you! I've grown up, I am waaaay more boujee (ask about my fav natural wine variety?). I live in inner city Melbourne with my partner and baby. I work as a scientist, play guitar (I would never play it front of you unless asked! LOL) and still obsessed with music.

CURRENT MISSION

Can't I have lots of little missions? rather than just one really big one, I really want to do everthing I can

ABOUT ME

I was born naturally, on the last day of the year. I have come to love my NYE birthday because everyone seems to be having fun.
I am friendly and talkative. This has lead to odd conversations at times and me questioning my need to talk to strangers.
I volunteer for community radio (PBS) and it is really an excuse to talk about music non-stop.
I try a lot of things, most because I am a people pleaser and unable to say no. Such as being in people's plays, helping out in elections, flying planes, working at a burger joint, drinking vodka at dinner time, and the worst was looking at some guys arse at work to tell him that his stretch-marks aren't that bad. Why didn't I just say no?
