"For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it."

Stoney Swamp Diana

Things they never tell you ‘til it’s too late 1:

            When you’re in grade school and you have to make a poster about what you want to do when you grow up, it is inevitably either too ambitious:





or is the complete and utter opposite... lack lustre and mediocre at best:



In time, the likes of the latter becomes painfully realistic and mortifying, as you bus tables during uni holidays to replenish your bank account with drinking money and of course your grade school teacher happens to come in and order a half-strength, skinny-soy latte and a scone and you just know she’s remembering your childhood aspirations and making assumptions. You can’t help ponder whether you think she’s happy for you for achieving your dreams, or disappointed about all that wasted potential….

      This is my blog. There are many like it but this one is my own. Within it I make (debatably) witty observations about life or something like it. During the day I teach teenagers things about the world and the English language. I read philosophy books and classics and I have an impressive vinyl collection. I appreciate the small things and I try to make the world better everyday. I love to write and take photos of pretty things using my Diana. I'd loan you my toothbrush...

    I'm a 24 year old, stuck in the body of a 24 year old. I like you if you like me, If you screw up I can't look you in the eye. I wish I knew who made up that thing that kids say about sneezing being a 1/4 of an orgasm as I think they've made a pretty wild connection between two different ends of the human body. Sometimes I'll employ the use of sarcasm even though I know what they say about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit-but does anyone else think that statement could be sarcastic itself? When I was a kid the dentist told me I'd grow into my mouth and I'm still waiting. I walk a seesaw between extro and intro (verted that is). I'm convinced RnB music is the bane of my existence (the very fact the middle letter 'n' stands for 'and' should really be enough to call the whole thing off). I hate prejudiced on all levels of the word. I think I was either born in the wrong era or grew up with people who had not yet grown out of theirs. I hate it when people use words like "asap" or phrases such as "24/7" but at least there's a record that i love to play......
