Will you look at that.... I have made a post.  Its taken me two or three years.  I have also finally changed the layout of this place.  Is this fancy enough for you?  I think I want to do a few more changes, but it might not count for much if I don't really end up posting anything on here. Ugh guys... adulting is hard! Every hour of my day is used up like sand in a... sand bucket... But last week, my social media feed got inundated with information about the casting of my favourite game dad, Geralt of Rivia for the upcoming NetFlix series.  I had feelings as a result.  Weird ones. Anyway - I mentioned that I had an essay's worth of thoughts and a friend told me to write them down.  So here we are.  Its a preliminary set of thoughts, and I truncated a lot of it and cut out loads of paragraphs because the article was meant to be for publication in another online thing.  But it didn't happen so I might as well archive it here....

Hallo Hallo PANIC! It's May!!!  Or almost June. Almost half a year has passed.  Holy shit. Things have been happening! And when I mean things, I mean, like, things, stuff, occurrences, things!!!!!! (enough to warrant multiple exclamation marks). Things like – Oh lordy I have a new job!!  WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am vintage dancing banana excited I'm going to miss my old job and the wonderful people I have had the privilege to work with.  I have been really lucky to have the best boss ever and have also been influenced and inspired by some of the brightest and smartest. In short, it's a bittersweet parting but I'm going to move out and onward into the breach. The job is with a lovely NGO that advocates children's rights.  Its certainly a lot more fulfilling than corporate law and it’s the industry that I have always wanted to work in. In other news, I grieved hard for ...

Errr… happy new year and two months?! (disclaimer - GIF PARTY BELOW) Let's do this right Hello – We survived! So – Hmmm, lots of stuff happened… And then I burned out – major – crash. and. burn. Oh my god… its been a cray-cray past two months. I mean c'mon, Christmas – who doesn’t get insanely busy during that time?.. ok, people who don’t celebrate it.   But still, here in Aus, its summer and its all about going out and going to the beach and festivals and party and the Sydney Festival was on and damn, so much stuff has been happening. I mean, what's with all my buds suddenly getting married everywhere? Check this out: Friday night; hen's night out for one bride (sangria, sangria, sangria); Saturday all day; hen's 'tea' (as in drinking tea but mostly drinking vodka punch out of teacups) in the Blue Mountains (beautiful views, hilarious talks about adult toys and champagne) Sunday; quiet daytime wedding with friends and family; F...

Oh my god – would you look at that – I'M NOT DEAD!!!! Its like a Christmas Miracle. Yeah… well… I technically was. I actually got off my ass and did something!! And I have done many things in the past few months. One – I have finished my masters! I AM A MASTER ….i am a master…. master, master, master…. Yes, I have finished my masters studies – and now that its done, I will never make any intellectual propositions ever again.   I shall cease to cogitate at higher levels from now on. All I will think about from now on are kittens and Turians.   (And shoes) - And Christmas!!!! Seriously, these studies have sucked the everliving crapping life out of me.   I feel so tired and so, so drained and oddly, slightly lost.   I feel like there should be something I should be stressing about, but I no longer have any assignments or exams to stress out over. Its weird, I have yet to make up my mind as to whether this may lead me to darker paths – like...
