We are The Hives and we are the nicest band EVER!
Back in 2005 a pretty great band from Sweden came to Australia to play the Big Day Out. As they’d never toured Australia before I was pretty excited. As were my cousins Hannah and Lucy, who at the time were only 13. They announced a show at The Metro and H&Ls little smiles turned into frowns. I, on the other hand having just turned 18 in December, was pretty damn excited.
It was the day...
Stereotypes I've encountered during my travels
Rowdy English lads Bossy older Italian lady Sleazy older Italian guy Obnoxious American jocks
I will add to this list as I encounter/remember them.

Offending Strangers
A conversation with a bartender last night
Bartender: How's your night going?
Me: Good thanks, I'm celebrating my last day of work.
Bartender: Oh are you going on holiday?
Me: Yeah, for 6 months or so.
Bartender: Wow, where are you going?
Me: Europe and North America.
Bartender: So, are you going to go on Contiki tours?
Me: Hahahahahahaha no.
Bartender: Oh, I'd really like to do that.
Me: REALLY?
Bartender: Yeah...
Me: Just going around getting drunk with Australians, just doing the same thing as you'd do here but just in a different place? That's a bit boring.
Bartender: Erm...yes...
Me: Ok, seeya. Sorry if I offended you.

M: You know, you put the paper in and pull the handle down and it cuts it.
N & L: You mean the guillotine?
M: Noooo, it's called the goonelator.
N & L: Um, no it's called a guillotine.
M: Whateverrrrrrrrrr, goonelator sounds way better.

N & L: We're being dinosaurs.
M: But why? Dinosaurs aren't even real.
WHAAAAAAAT? (an introduction)
There is a special someone who I have known for the last year who occasionally says some very dumb things. Her code name is M. My code name is N. Another person is L (she’s not dumb). I’m super creative. I will share with you some of the dumb things she has said during our time together. Enjoy.
The Curse of the Ks
Over my four years here at my job we’ve seen a lot of staff come and go. It is interesting to note that three of these people’s names started with K - Kathryn, Kylie and Kristy. Another interesting thing to note is that they were all WHACK JOBS.
First we had Kristy. She was a lollipop and a compulsive liar. She lasted five days. On her fourth day it came out that a few months earlier...
My last week of work
is this week. I finish on Friday. I thought I’d share some memorable moments of my time here. They’re probably not very exciting but we’ll see how I go.

I used to have another blog. It was called A Few of My Favourite Things. I gave up at L. I might post a few of the things from there on here. We’ll see.
