: About Me

I'm a five-foot-something country bumkin turned city bumpkin with a fat cat and a very self-assured attitude. I'm in college, I have a casual job at a lebanese takeaway and i really want a pet wombat. I'd also like a fruit bat, a carpet snake, a panda cub, a tiger cub and a Cthulu.
Let's see, other than that i have two half brothers, two half sisters, one full brother and more cousins than i know about. My family is one big jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing. I didn't even know i had another uncle 'til early last year.
Even though i have lived in about eight different houses i have never left the bottom right-hand corner of Australia in my whole life. Most of said houses were rented, like the one i live in now with my mother and brother.
I like to draw and write and ice-skate and Doctor Who (old series - Tom Baker is da bomb).

My passion is ...

A ferocious, raging, loud, theatrical, over-sensetive version of myself that i like to keep tucked away deep inside until someone gets close enough to have their fingers bitten.

I know too much about ...

Irrelevant things. Like fish scales being one of the ingredients in lipstick.

My parents always told me ...

"You're not wearing that". (well i can't go naked, can i?)

My childhood ambition ...

If i were to write a book about things i didn't want to be when i was a child, it would be shorter.

My favorite memory ...

Mum's face when she got her first story published.

Why I write ...

Try and stop me.

My first job ...

Serving behind the counter at a lebanese takeaway. And i still work there.

My best moment ...

Sometimes i feel as though my whole life is one big best moment, and sometimes i wish it would go away. It really depends on when you ask me and whether or not i've remembered to write said moment down somewhere obvious.

My inspiration ...

I have no idea where it all comes from, but it's there, and that's all that matters.

Anna-bear was small and sweet With her own little chair in the passenger seat It's good that she was so petite So the shopping-bags didn't have too far to fall when she dropped them on my feet.
