I am a toasted, cheese s, and wich.
My Self-Summary
I'm not a girly girl. I have an outdoorsy job and I love
camping,
4WDing and generally getting my
hands dirty. I quite enjoy
drinking beer, obscene jokes make
me laugh, and I believe no vocabulary is complete without an
imaginative range of
swear words!
That said, I'm not a complete bogan. I like
movies, especially depressing foreign
arthouse ones,
travelling, checking out
live music and
interesting conversation with friends.
What I’m doing with my life
This is how it breaks down:
Sleeping - 33%
At work - 25% (50% of that actually working, 20% girlie gossip, 13%
coffee runs, 9% daydreaming, 5% googling, and 3% toilet
breaks)
Quality couch time - 7%
The remaining 35% of my life is unallocated, but generally includes
going to the movies, being at the beach, dancing around the house
in my undies, watching a band, playing crap but addictive puzzle
games, getting really pissed, doing the quick crossword in the
Australian, attempting various home improvements in handy-(wo)man
fashion and going to Inala for delicious Vietnamese food.
I’m really good at
Keeping up with the boys, cooking a mean mushroom linguine, being a
hermit, reading maps (gender stereotypes be damned!), swearing with
flair, drinking spirits, faffing about in my veggie patch,
answering pub trivia questions about male strip revues and cheap
asian car models of the 90s, the shoulder-stand in yoga (but none
of the other poses).
Things I wish I were really good at: walking in high heels (in
fact, just doing it with more grace than a newborn horse would be
fine), driving a boat, remembering names, maths, picking the right
thing on the menu, not looking weird at the moment someone takes a
photo.
The first things people usually notice about me
If they're being a dick, probably my locally-famous "stabby-eyes".
I use them most often on my boss, but anyone who's being a tool is
likely to get a little dose.
Otherwise, it seems to be my tattoo, which is really odd, since its
on my foot and not that obvious. Perhaps I just meet a lot of
foot-fetishists??

Seeds, the Eels, Bob Log III, Electric Six, the Drones, Radiohead,

Books: Mister Pip, the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night
Time, The Broken Shore, Notes on a Scandal, Oryx and Crake (crap
read actually, but damn cool ideas about the future of the human
race)
The six things I could never do without
Sleeping in, watermelon, rainy days, long drives, music, my
favourite beach.
Clearly, if any of those things were taken away, I would still be
perfectly ok, just rather sad. I guess I'd get over it eventually
though.
Along those lines, I read recently that scientists are working on
atmospheric manipulation as a means to combat global warming.
Essentially some sort of fine-particle powder is injected into the
atmosphere to reflect sunlight. Reduces radiation on Earth and
keeps our ice caps nice and cool, but also means the end of blue
skies. I guess we'd all learn to live with it, but the prospect's
pretty fucking depressing, don't you think?
On a typical Friday night I am
The most accurate (though least cool) answer is probably on the
couch drinking a beer and cursing the awfulness of Friday night
television programming. I make up for it though, by being quirky
and interesting on Saturdays...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Grasshoppers. I'm terrified of them. Its something about the legs.
Its incredibly annoying since I'm not generally sqeamish, and I
like to think I'm pretty tough. There was one in the back of my car
the other day, and I actually had to pull over and ask someone to
get it out for me. Good then.
You should message me if
You are TALL! I love tall guys. Superficial, but hey, the Tom
Cruise look doesn't do it for me. Apart from that, I usually like
guys who are funny, inquisitive, clever (nerds are fine as long as
you leave the house occasionally!), and a little bit naughty. I've
got a soft spot for blokey guys who fix stuff, grow beards and lift
heavy things, but I also rather like arty, creative guys. If you're
in a band that doesn't suck then I'll probably want to make out
with you. Oh, and I'm a big fan of spelling and punctuation, so if
you deal in real sentences you're in with a chance.
