It has been a long while since I have blogged and to be honest, I have never really been much of a blogger. I get distracted by other things and I read witty posts by other people living in this 'online world' and I think to myself that I couldn't possibly write anything as cool as they do. Well whatever, maybe I cant. But I can write about what is happening in my life.

I guess I should start off with a little introduction thingy on who I am? I'm just your average girl really. I can't imagine there is a whole lot to say about myself. I'm 20 years old, living in a little suburb called Ferntree Gully with my brother and friend. It's alright here. It's close to the bush and if I go for a walk I can usually see a kangaroo or two. I'm about an hour from Melbourne on the train. I don't drive and I prefer to walk places when I can. I'm a vegetarian and have been for about ten years. I love good books - anything that is imaginative and informative. I enjoy writing and I spend the majority of my time creating stories, putting poems together and documenting my days in a journal. I strive to be published one day and I enter as many competitions as I can. I love to travel and have recently (as in like, two weeks ago!) returned from a backpacking adventure around North America. I spent the last eight months exploring Canada from east to west - down the west coast of the United States of America - and around. To say that this experience was amazing is a huge understatement. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it. It was fantastic, marvelous, beautiful and life changing. I'm a bit under whelmed now that I am back in Australia and I am ravenous to keep exploring the world. I am currently unemployed which is not ideal. I am hoping fervently that something will come up.
My parents live in Chicago and my boyfriend lives in the Lake District, North West England.
What else is there to say? I am a huge fan of Michael Jackson - have been for a very long time and always will be. I have two tattoos - his name written on my foot with a flower and a rainbow - and two flowers and a butterfly on my arm with the lyrics 'stop existing and start living', from his song "Heal the world''. I don't appreciate ignorance when it comes to Michael Jackson but I am getting better at letting some of the nasty things people say about him go.

I'm a big fan of red wine, salt & vinger crisps, blues and jazz music, candles and flowers. I like to sit out in the sunshine and read books for hours on end. I enjoy meeting new people, hearing fresh ideas and doing fantastic things. I like learning and listening to people. I can be bizarre, hopelessly sulky and a real moody cow. Still, even with all my flaws, I like to think that I am an okay person.
