Welcome to my world. Visit as often as you like, just leave your shoes at the door.

Well I guess I should finally start this thing. I don't know why, but I have been putting off having a personal blog for years. While I might think that I haven’t accomplished much so far in my life, I have found I am continually giving advice to people and they are asking for my opinion on their issues. So maybe I do have something worthwhile to contribute. Other than that I have been thinking a lot lately about life and death and before you start getting worried, NO I am not suicidal. I’ve just had some friends lately who have had some rather crappy things happen to those they are close to and it got me thinking. What if something bad were to happen to me? I have many experiences I would one day like to share with my child and this is a way I can guarantee that if something were to happen to me (touch wood it never does) he would still have a chance to get to know the person I really am.

So, who am I? *shrugs* I don’t know.

I’m a 27 year old chick who lives in Brisbane with her fiancé and 7 year old son. I’m a red-head both in coloring and in attitude. I’m opinionated. I like to stir people up a little bit. Not to cause trouble, but for giggles.

I’m a homebody these days and have the occasional creative streak. I like to think I am somewhat intelligent. I like to make things and if I can do it out of recycled materials I am even happier. I cook the majority of meals at home from scratch, not only because it is healthier and I’m frugal but also because I find it enjoyable and quite relaxing. There is nothing quite like taking your aggression out on an unsuspecting piece of dough and just kneading the hell out of it.

I value education and morals. These are a few things I would really like to pass on to my child. I don’t like how I see society and would love to make some changes in the way people value each other. While I dish out a lot of crap, it is only ever done in humor. I don’t like the idea of intentionally hurting someone. I personally see all people as equal. I don’t care what your nationality, skin color, religious or sexual preferences are.

My life is full of contradictions. I have a scientific mind and yet I still believe that the supernatural is plausible until proven otherwise. I love having friends but I am not very good at socializing. I am a girl but I don’t know how to do girly things. I love technology but still consider myself to be somewhat green-minded. I love homegrown vegetables. But I am a lousy gardener. I like to eat reasonably healthy and I exercise by walking everywhere, yet I still smoke and drink way too much coke.

I like to pick flaws in other people’s logic and nothing gets me going more than a nice topical debate or discussion. I enjoy reading and movies and in both cases I really love a good horror or thriller - the kind of book you can’t put down or one that leaves you just too scared to sleep.

I like to document almost every aspect of my life. The good, the bad and the ugly. I take a lot of photos and videos and I share them with anyone who cares to look.

That’s about all I can think of for the moment. But I guarantee there will be a lot more to come. I have a lot to say… about everything.
