Everything's coming up Millhouse!
So I got that job I interviewed for the other day. It’s weird though, obviously the people at work know, and I text messaged and emailed a couple of people who had been very supportive throughout the very painful application process. I also posted a little something on twitter because I crave the attention and congratulations of strangers.
But I haven’t really been shouting the news...

I have a theory...
(if this had you thinking of Once More With Feeling you’re my kind of people)
I have a theory that, at least in my case, positivity is a finite resource. There is only so much good energy I can muster. This works most of the time, I’m not really using it at a rapid rate, so there’s always enough in the tank when I need to use it. Sometimes though I use everything I’ve...

The best little bar in Sydney
I don’t know if I told you or not, but around Christmas time last year I decided that I wasn’t going to drink (alcohol) for the entirety of 2011. Looking back it’s hard to remember my reasoning. I think more than anything it was just to show myself that I could. It’s not like I have a problem with drinking, I mean I’ve gotten pretty badly drunk more than a few times,...

Tonight I realised
That I had the original Broadway cast recording of Wicked on CD, but I’d never ripped it into iTunes because I was going to wait until I saw the musical. Seeing as I still haven’t seen the musical, and I’ve owned the CD for four years I figured I should probably add it to the digital collection.
Now one day I’ll actually take the time to listen to it.

I know you’ve all been on the edge of your seats regarding the fingernail situation, and you probably don’t all follow me on twitter, so I just thought I’d let you know I got a manicure today after work.

A window into my insanity
Until recently I’d owned a pair of sunglasses. I lost them a few weeks back when I went out for a meal with some old workmates. I’ve been making do without in the interim, but I’m driving to Sydney and back this week, so I figured it was time to get a new pair. I briefly toyed with the idea of getting some proper, expensive sunglasses. You know the ones with a name brand that...

Anniversaries (Warning: contains overshare)
Generally I’m the kind of guy that likes them. I have a reasonable memory for numbers so it’s quite easy for me to remember them. This time of year is quite unfairly packed for me though. Today was two quite important (to me at least) anniversaries, and yesterday was two more. Four anniversaries in two days. So tumblr, allow me to share with you my celebrations.
Yesterday is three...

Riddle me this tumblites...
When I recently watched Natalie Portman / Ashton Kutcher romantic comedy No Strings Attached I enjoyed most of the film, but became enraged by the ending, where the two people who decided to be fuck buddies ended up falling in love with each other. Obviously one of them realised before the other, scared the other one off, and then when the penny dropped the reluctant party won them back and they...

on Looking For Alaska...
Today I read John Green’s Looking For Alaska. I’d wanted to read the whole thing in one sitting, and today I had opportunity as well as motive, so I sat down in the sunlight that was streaming into the living room and devoured the book in a single sitting.
I love John Green’s writing. He manages to create protagonists that feel so real in their ordinary averageness, and then set...
I used to bite my nails
for years and years I chewed them all the way down to the quick (why the hell is it called ‘the quick’ anyway? That’s just weird) but a couple of years back I stopped. Not really sure how or why, but I just wasn’t biting them any more. Normally this is fine. I’ll break one on something, and get the nail clippers out and give them all a trim. But I haven’t broken...
I didn't end up going
to that party with the girl who may or may not want to be friends with me. I wanted to go, so I had motive, but no opportunity. Not only was I carless (and public transport is basically non-existent in this town on the weekends) but I had some family stuff I needed to deal with. In theory we’ll catch up sometime soon. I’m currently working on the opinion that she’s almost as bad...

A tale of two puppies.
My sister-in-law got a puppy for her birthday (about a month and a half ago). This in itself is not remarkable. My brother has had a cat for a while now, and she’s not the kind of person who can see that somebody else has something she doesn’t and sit idly by. The problem is that she (to my knowledge) is not planning to ever have children. Which means all of her indulgent mothering...

Waiting For Alaska
As you probably know I’ve recently been on a bit of a John Green kick. I’ve been starting to watch the vlog brothers videos, and I’ve been reading his books too. The next book to read is Looking For Alaska. It’s a short book, but I’m hesitant to read it.
The problem is that I’ve got too much of the Rob Fleming in me, and I judge people by their opinion of the...
I'm so confused.
Remember the girl I whined about not wanting to be my friend Here
Well today she SMSed me (not just me, seemed like a bulk thing) inviting me to her housewarming, and her boyfriend’s 31st birthday this coming weekend. Does this mean she really does consider me a friend? I want to go, so that she knows I consider her one, even if I’ve never had a conversation of more than a few words...

...and now for something completely different.
tumblr my journal of thoughts and place of my truest revelations, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen me in a good mood. Well I feel like I’m in the best mood I’ve been in for ages and ages. Brace yourself for an outbreak of optimism and general positivity. Don’t worry too much though, I’m sure regularly programmed mental anguish will continue after this short...
