I am determined, flirtatious, and quirky.

My Self-Summary

My name's Bri! I live in Melbourne and spend most of my time being a goofy, music-and-books obsessive kind of dork. Everything fascinates me, including you. Yes, you.

Really!

What I’m doing with my life

Well, some people work in general admin roles. Me, on the other hand, somehow I arrived in a therapy centre that deals with students, clients, and very slightly deranged staff. All of whom need administration to keep them functioning. It's kind of awesome; I can actually brighten people's days, just by smiling at them and remembering their therapist's name. It makes me happy inside.

In my spare time, I am a complete nerd who loves being with family and friends, dorking around on the computer, reading worrying numbers of books, and investigating new recipes which people then have to taste-test with me. Dessert is frequently involved.

I’m really good at

Making people smile. Being a bit of a goofball is good for that. Creating things - writing, cooking, performing, playing, dreaming. Seeing something all the way through. I'm verrrry determined and I'll fight to the end for things I believe in. Making my cat purr and the people around me roll their eyes and try to smack me as I bounce past.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm not very good at keeping still, unless I'm snuggled up and comfortable. I'm quiet - until I get to know people, and then good luck making me stop talking and joking and trying to make everyone laugh. My accent is kind of weird, thanks to English and American schools, performance training, and a tendency to pick up other people's speech habits. Oh yeah - the glasses. No, I'm not good at being a sexy librarian or sexy teacher. Yes, I have tried. But I could probably make you giggle with my impression.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books! Anything by Terry Pratchett; Wicked, by Gregory Maguire; Isaac Asimov's short and longer stories; the Phryne Fisher series by Kerry Greenwood.

It's not exactly a movie, but Mythbusters...I am a sucker for useless information, and Mythbusters is full of it. I also love Imagine Me And You and Death At A Funeral.

Music! A lot of musicals: Wicked, Rent, Cats, The Witches of Eastwick, Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, Into The Woods. I love musicals with a passion. Vienna Teng. Disney music! Idina Menzel.

Food! ...oh, most things. But especially cookies and, yes, well, it has to be chocolate doesn't it?

The six things I could never do without

Life would not be worthwhile without my family, my friends, my pets, a good book (or two or three or...), music, and cookies.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Anything and everything. Finding out how Latin names of plant and animal species are constructed; how real things could have turned into old legends; what would happen if...; how words can sound pretty similar in different languages; whether dirt cake actually looks like the name implies (it does); how I can write a drabble for my favourite characters; what a name translates to in different languages; who came up with the idea of CDs, and how they thought of it...

...anything. Everything.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Some day, years from now, I am going to have children. If you've decided you're definitely not going to...you'll be wasting your time trying to hook up with me.

But I'd still love to find out whether we'd make awesome friends! And whether you can put up with me suddenly coming out with useless bits of information.

...yes, that counts as a private thing.

You should message me if

You feel like someone to talk to, or you want to be silly and crazy with me! Really, as long as you don't resort to chatspeak, you'll almost definitely get a response.
