About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to do more stuff and have more adventures

ABOUT ME

I am a gemini. I love music. and socialising. I am an optimist. I love summer, even when it's brisbane and humid and sticky. love it! my friends are rad. I am a night person. I am on facebook - look me up. I am learning the guitar and it is fun though i am yet to make my fingers bleed - one day i will be tough enough. when something is quite funny i laugh and cry. i have 4 sisters. i am highly suggestible and have self-control issues. i used to be a bouncer. i find flight of the conchords hilarious. i am learning to paraglide.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that what you do in your life comes back to you so you should always treat people with respect and kindness. i believe in star signs a bit but i don't believe in ghosts...i don't think. i believe that everything happens for a reason, even the bad stuff and especially the good stuff.

I am all about trying new things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i played trumpet in a concert with james morrison once - that was pretty cool
the most amazing thing i have ever seen (though not technically a good thing) was in Canberra in 2002 when I walked out onto my balcony after spending the day reading in bed and suddenly noticing the eerie red glow of my surroundings caused by the bushfires in the area at the time. It was awesome and i'll never forget it!

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach piano and trumpet? and if you ever need to know anything about episodes of buffy the vampire slayer i can probably help with that too.

i'll swap you some English lessons for some French or Spanish lessons!(I can teach English, want to learn the others)

have i missed the point of this box? is that what i'm supposed to write?
