Top Gear on my tv.
Milo in my mug.
Tumblr on my screen.
I love tonight.

O ye’ll tak’ the high road and I’ll tak the low road, An’ I’ll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and me true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomon’
I will always sing this song at the top of my voice, such a beautiful tune.

An ode to the explorers of old.
Today I went for a walk, an adventure, in celebration of all those moustached and pith helmeted men who macheted their way around the world in order to show the rest of us what it was like. This is a somewhat lengthy description:
12:25 Leave boat and walk past dad trying to mow lawn around harbour with ride on. Too embarrassing.
12:30 Stop at mums work, is harrassed and warned about the perils...

Seriously, wtf is going on with the weather in Queensland? One minute it’s like the Sahara freaking Desert- except with the humidity of a Japanese bath house. The next second it’s chucking it down, jumper wearing weather with the whole of the state turning into one giant lake. I don’t know whether to be walking around with an industrial strength umbrella or an air-conditioning...
James' accident. →
I still feel a little anxious when I see this.
The verdict.
Ok, so just finished watching the Top Gear Middle East Special.
I don’t seriously think it was really up to par with specials like Botswana and Vietnam. It was a little more serious (and frankly, scripted) than past adventures. That said however, James smashing his head on the rocks was graphically real. Seeing all the blood soaked into the sand and him unable to remember where they were...

V. V. Happy.
So, my life is pretty perfect right now. Want to know why? Probably not but too bad.
It’s all nice and cold and rainy and I just went for a walk, so now i’m home all snug and cosy with my lovely emergency schoolies hoodie. Billy Connolly is on at 6:30 after which is Doctor Who chrissie special, so I will wear my Smithmas bow tie.
I will have dinner- don’t know what yet (oh the...

Does anyone else do this?
You’re thinking about something and then you zone out of your own ramblings but your inner voice keeps talking even though you aren’t actually listening. And then you zone back in and think ‘How the fuck did I get here? What the hell am I thinking about?’. Then you tell yourself to shut up. Comprehende?
Or is that just me?
Christmas.
Ok, so i’m bored out of my skull. My mum is reading and dad has disappeared to go and harrass some of his mates about our hot water system or something. Supposedly, we were going to have a relaxing Christmas- not travelling to see family or anything. I almost wish we had now. Although the choices would be as follows:
My brothers property in Nimbin with a load of un-washed communist...

James May hurt during Top Gear stunt
May, 47, was helping pull fellow presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s car out of a ditch when he fell and hit his head on a rock.
The Daily Telegraph’s motoring columnist was rushed to hospital where he was given a brain scan and put on a drip, the paper said.
May suffered severe concussion and was given stitches for a head wound, according to the report.
He was...

My Dad: “Why do you even like Top Gear? It’s just three fat old men.”

Do you know what's fun?
Pretending to be shopping for furniture and accessories with an unlimited amount of money, for a non-existant house. I do this too much. I have my whole apartment planned. Old green leather couch, mismatched cushions, antique dresser and random tiki wooden carvings. Retro lamps and a varnished book shelf full to the brim. Worn carpets and messy kitchen. I love going to op shops and looking at...

Five things that changed me in 2010.
1) Year 12. Finishing, graduating, the end of an era. Glad it’s over, but I know i’ll miss it.
2) Drinking. Not getting smashed or anything. Just having a drink with mates. I love it.
3) Stephen Fry. I don’t remember what first opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Fry and it is neither here nor there. All I know is that he let me remember how much I love language, words...
“So much that is charming, unusual, provocative and admirably strange in youth...”
– The Fry Chronicles, Stephen Fry.
God, how true that is.
I want to be a writer.
