Day One

A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself


So thats a picture I took on Friday just before I headed off to a wedding

Now for the "interesting" facts...

1. I have a birthmark in the colored part of my eye... my eyes are blue but the birthmark is a brown spot

2. My husband and I had a surprise wedding, it was a birthday party for my daughter's fourth birthday and we stood up half way through and announced we were getting married

3. I have known my husband since we were 10 years old and I have been in love with him since the first day I met him!

4. I prescribe to no religion in particular but believe in a higher power and the power of the universe as well as the concept of karma. I paradoxically believe in both fate and free will, I believe that we make our own decisions and guide our own path but that there are certain events and lessons in life that will happen regardless of our actions.

5. I suffer from chronic depression and have done since I was about 13. Somedays I struggle simply just to function but find the strength to carry on from my husband, kids, mum, family and friends.

6. I am a fiercely loyal friend and would do anything, absolutely anything, for the people I care about

7. I have started 6 degrees and never finished any of them... I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up

8. One of my favorite saying is "I love you in the face" which I occasionally shorten to face love when I'm feeling lazy... I think its Kacy's fault, her and her damn love for Grum's face!

9. I adore film and am probably a bit of a movie whore... I enjoy even the worst movies and can always find something to love about most of the movies I see... I have a dream of being a movie reviewer but know that I would probably suck at it because I love all movies and would struggle to be objective!

10. I grew up in Darwin which is one of the best places in the whole world to grow up. I grew up immersed with diverse cultures, traditions, cuisines, languages etc etc and am thankful for how that childhood has contributed to making me the accepting person I am today.

11. I have a little bit of a fetish for thin, sexy, anime men... I blame my Nanna for buying me Captain Harlock on Beta Video when I was little

12. I love receiving things in the mail (that aren't bills or grown up mail) so please feel free to post me things TIffany, PO Box 247, Gosnells WA 6990.

13. I would totally turn lesbian for Angelina Jolie

14. My two favorite books are The Time Travellers Wife and The Little Hut of Leaping Fishes

15. As well as film I also adore music, especially Australian music and would attend every single live show in Perth if I could afford it (and didn't actually enjoy spending time with my kids)

Well thats 15 things... I don't know if they are particularly interesting or not but I struggle to write these sorts of lists... maybe I'll try again later...

World Domination and the Darkness

"Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night Pinky -  try to take over the world!" Two things are clear to me , I love that cartoon and Brain never suffered from depression. You see it's much easier to try to take over the world if you don't have to use every ounce of motivation and determination in your body to get out of bed each morning. If Brain had suffered from depression it is likely he may have given up his plan after the first failure. For even the smallest hurdle can, to a depressive, seem like an insurmountable barrier. Now don't get me wrong, there are lots of depressed people who have achieved all sorts of amazing things. World domination while depressed is not completely impossible its just a hell of a lot harder. Before people start accusing me of being a whiner and making excuses I would first ask those people a) do you currently have or have you ever depression? and b) can you shut your stupid...

I don't want to be that weird, creepy girl

Sometimes I meet people and I know instantly that they are awesome! They laugh at the same things I laugh at, they share similar views to me on things, they are clever, sassy and generally pretty neato (I'm mostly talking about other ladies here), and I think to myself, you're pretty fantastic and I would love to have you as my friend and do stuff with you and hang out and talk about life and love and stupid things we've done. Then comes the kicker. How, as a thirty something grown woman, do you ask another grown woman over for a play date or out for dinner, without seeming like a weirdo / lesbian / desperate / friendless / loser? It's much easier for kids to make new friends, they just say stuff like "I like He-Man and you like He-Man and I think that makes you totally the best and we should be best friends forever until we're like, old and wrinkly and  our butts sag" then they piss themselves laughing and the friendship is cemented. But that just doesn...

now you're just somebody that i used to know

this song by gotye (good thing this is typed or i'd still be stumbling over the pronunciation... goat-ee-ay... gotcha...goat-yee...) is one of my favourites at the moment and is on constant rotation at my house and in my car. the song is about two ex lovers but has gotten me thinking about all those people that were once an intrinsic part of my life, helped me to define who i was and my place in the world and are now just some people that i used to know. we all have them. those people that we thought we would be friends with forever, that we talked to every day, hung out with all the time, people who knew all our in jokes because they helped create them, knew all the stories of our past. then suddenly you wake up one day and realise its been a month since you saw them, then its six months, then you can't remember the last time you saw them. you think about calling them but it feels awkward, then you tell yourself that they could call you if they wanted to. time passes and the...
