BACK FROM THE BRINK

Things I Did In My Absence:

1. Discovered Chatroulette.
Wow. Just - wow. I have pretty lofty sexual aspirations, but I can honestly say I have never wanted to see as many dicks as I have seen in the past few weeks. HOWEVAH I am now Facebook friends with a Russian artist named Alex who paints the most beautiful watercolour landscapes, AND I had a lengthy discussion with a handsome Texan highschooler last night that did not include a SINGLE OCCURRENCE of him asking to see my boobs.

If you want more information on Chatroulette (yes you do), please to be reading this article and seeing these hilarious screencaps. Does this encapsulate everything it means to be 'Gen Y'? Discuss.

2. Played in my band a lot.
Did you even know I was in a band? I bet you didn't, you heartless wench. Well I AM, and things have been picking up for us and it's been great. We played shows with Skipping Girl Vinegar (you will remember my glowing review of their previous Brisbane show), local lads Montpelier and Tin Can Radio (who you must absolutely see, immediately, run-don't-walk), and most awesomely, the vivaciously talented and hilarious Svavar Knútur from Iceland--more on that gig to come. AND we were a featured artist on triple j Unearthed and NOW we're about to start recording our first EP. Respect this way, thanks.

3. Read 'The Road', by Cormac McCarthy. Saw Avatar. Saw Alice In Wonderland.
Read. Watch. Avoid.

4. Got really really drunk. A lot.
WHAT, I'M YOUNG OKAY, SO WHAT IF I WANT TO THROW A HAWAIIAN-THEMED PARTY AND DRINK MY BODYWEIGHT IN PUNCH AND CHOW DOWN ON JELLY SHOTS AND FORGET TELLING MY FRIEND KATINKA HOW I "JUST THINK YOU'RE REALLY GREAT". DON'T JUDGE.

But anyway, now I'm back! Back at uni. Back to work. Back from four months of delinquency and the brink of alchoholism and committing most of my Friday nights to the dusty halls of memories addled by substance abuse.

Responsibility! Steady income! Study routine! I LIIIIIIVE
