Ok this is an official update of my mouldy old intro. every time that i accidentally bring up the first page of this instead of the recent one, i get a case of "geez i'm a tool writing such a dodgy intro". so i thought i'd put a fresh intro up for me to feel embarrased about
Here's some information about me...
i live in melbourne, where things are often rainy. raininess makes me sad.
i go to the ever wonderful melbourne sunday spinning, where all the lovely melbourne kids go. If you live anywhere near melbourne and you're checking out this intro to suss out what type of people go on sundays, i highly recommend you come along.
i'm a student nurse, so i get terribly excited about health. it also means that i will intermittently whinge about going on clinicals. i secretly love being on clinicals though.
i'm also a disability support worker, which i've done for ages. i love it heaps, but like any job, it has it's moments.
i live with my boyfriend, who i tend to complain about a lot also, but i love him to bits, even when he gives me the sh!ts.
someone once asked me to sum myself up in 5 words, and i came up with independent, caring, firey, needy and...oh bugger i can't remember the last. i'm sure it was good though
well, i can't think of anything else to put there, so i'll leave it till i start cringing whenever i see this intro
and just so that the initial comments here are in context, here's what my intro originaly said....
"hey, I registered with HoP a few days ago in a procrastination attempt (1exam to go), and this whole talking-to-people-on-the-other-side-of-the-world thing kinda freaks me out. Anyway, I been reading peoples messages, which seems a bit voyueristic, since I haven't really introduced myself. I live in victoria, and I'm studying nursing, play with poi, but haven't 4 ages. please reply with something encouraging, otherwise I'll get scared and feel unwelcome.
Then I'll be stuck with playing solitaire."

it sucks to miss out on the flow of conversation... should i talk about the assignment? the wallet? the kitty cat? or complain about now knowing what to talk about?
how about this, instead:
yay! miss ya myco... and i dont think i've said it on HoP yet... but... my computer is busted, and i dont have MSN access any more, and i need to use other ppls computers to come and post on HoP, coz im addicted and dont wanna be left outta the loop, even though it seems that i am, judging by how quickly the posts fly in this thread! wow!

Nice things happen to nice people
Although.. I remember once, several years ago, I found a wallet, and it belonged to a guy who lived about 30km away. I didn't have anything to do, and neither did a friend of mine, so we took a bus down to return it. It contained a few cards and about $80. Anyway, an hour and a half later, I found the guy's place, and rang his doorbell..
*Door opens slightly*
"Hi, we found this wallet on a bus- think it might be yours."
*Beady, shifty eyes look at me and my friend. Door opens more, hand reaches out to take wallet*
"Thanks."
*hand and wallet zip back in in faster than those crackly measuring tape things. Door closes.*
Aren't people wonderful?
