I always feel somewhat ridiculous writing these things. See, I'm not really that interesting, for a start. Also, I feel really arrogant writing about myself, as though you're even remotely interested in me or my life. But I think it's somewhat of an obligation with these kind of sites that you have at least a little something about yourself written there. So, um, yeah. Prepare to enter the realm of the inherently uncool.

I'm 19 at the moment, born in April of 1984. I'm in my first year of a double degree in Arts and Law at the University of Adelaide in South Australia. I don't really dig it much; I probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for other people. I'd prefer to be doing something else, such as, say, for instance, being the evil dictator of the world. But I can't even organise my bookshelf, so I don't think I'd make a particularly good evil dictator of the world. I've been planning to run away lately. It would be nice to do that, some time... I think I want to be an actor. Why, then, am I doing a law degree?... I don't know. To pass time? Because my sister told me to? Because everyone wants to make a lot of money? Some of these, in not all of them, are quite possible.

I used to write a lot, which is why I created this page in the first place. I originally intended to post poetry and prose and such, as well as some drawings, but I don't really do that anymore. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm no longer sure I can. See, when I was 15, I wanted to be an animator, and I knew I was good enough to be one. Yet, I draw something now, and all I can see in it are faults. So I don't draw. It's the same with my writing. Also, my brain got pretty fucked up in 2001, when I came within a hair of a nervous breakdown. I can't write much in a logical order any more -- I've even started planning my essays before I write them, which is something that I never did before. Sometimes, like now, I feel sad about this, because I have so many stories and pictures in my head, and I want to show someone. But I can't really do it any more.

I have complete and utter emotional breakdowns on average of once every two years. Usually odd years. I'm in line for one at the moment, given that it's now April in 2003.

I spend most of my time doing yukky things like school work. When I'm not doing that, I'm drinking coffee, reading, enlarging my shoe & eyeliner collections, being a pervie, or participating in some other form of procrastination.  I spend far too much money on my CD collection, and I doubt that will ever change. The three CDs that are currently in my stereo are creations from Idlewild, Placebo, and Rasputina. I'm an insomniac, which is actually why I'm up creating this page at 12:30am.

I'm an appreciator of music, which basically means I'm highly critical of bands a lot, even though I personally have not a lot of musical talent. I want to be John Cusack's character from High Fidelity, so that I can own a record store like that and so that I can have Dick work for me.

I generally like uncool things, like Britney Spears and pink fluffy socks. I never really got past the mental age of five, and I believe in God and in faeries. I like pretty things, and I get sad and happy over stupid things. I spend a lot of time talking to myself, which is a weird habit I picked up after working at ABC Picture Framers for a year.

I have a secret love for all things Russian, and I have a celebrity crush on the Finnish popstar Ville Valo (but then, who wouldn't?). However, pop culture is usually something located just outside my grasp. I hardly ever watch TV, but I dig Buffy, Alias, and Rove Live, as well as The Glass House. The last movie I saw was Ned Kelly, and I only saw that because my sister paid for me. I like French movies, for some reason.

Boys with funny hair make me randy. Also: boys with cool eyeliner application techniques make me randy.

I'm a leftie. I plan to go to Amylea and get her to pierce my lip on the left side because of this. I'm tempted to join the Greens party, because there's this boy at my Uni who's heavily into the Greens and I think he's dead sexy. He has cool hair. Also because I'm a leftie, but mostly because of the cute Greens boy at my Uni.

I think this is the most retarded introduction ever written by anyone. Ever. In the history of the world. Did I mention ever?

I think I've run out of things to say.
