That awkward moment...
When you don’t want to go to sleep, because there’s nothing to look forward to tomorrow, and you don’t want to stay up because there’s nothing worth staying conscious for.

violet-tumbl replied to your post: Has anyone read The Hunger Games?
The Hunger Games trilogy is on sale at Costco for $25. You should totes buy it..and then lend it to me.
If it’s still there next time I go to Costco, maybe I’ll do just that.
Has anyone read The Hunger Games?

Tumblr, today it was my birthday.
And I spent most of the day depressed and cranky. Work is really getting to me at the moment and it’s making me really anti social and self pitying.

I don't want this too sound perjorative...
…but I can be such a girl sometimes. (no disrespect, I love girls)
I have a pretty big Sunday. I’m spending an hour with one of my musical idols (Tom Dickins of Melbourne’s The Jane Austen Argument) as one of my Christmas presents. But then in the afternoon I’m having a drink with a girl from an internet dating site.
What do I wear?
Should I get a haircut?
Will she like...

The thing about young adult fiction
I’ve been trying to collect my thoughts on this topic for a while, and seeing as I just devoured John Green’s excellent new novel The Fault In Our Stars, now seems as good a time as any for a little literary self reflection. The thing is that, despite being nearly 34, I still love reading books written for people approximately two decades younger than me.
So the question begs, what...

Hey I think I know her. Someone I know posted this on FB. Either it’s her or she stole it.
Probably the same girl. She’s ex Canberra.
