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."

arghhhhh! i'm getting really stressed about going to adelaide. i don't know why, i'm just worrying about lots of little things and scared that things will go wrong.
Hopefully i'm getting all my stress out now, so that i don't have any for the weekend.

i think it's excitement paired with not feeling organised, so it's coming out as stress. but i'm sure everything will work out fine

ok i've now got a reason to stress. anyone relying on my for a lift reading this please be reassured that it's all being sorted out, but here's the story...
the other day, i was happily driving my car, it's recently been mechanicerised, so it's been very well behaved...until it refused to reverse. i panicked, but this was the only time it did it, just a one off. till yesterday, when it wouldn't reverse at all. hopefully i won't be driving much of the way to adelaide in reverse, but it's kind of an essential feature of a working car. so i got a mobile mechanic out to look at it while i was at work today. something about my transmission needing to be replaced. something about it costing $2500! something about it taking till the end of the week, when i'm wanting to be on my way to adelaide by.
i called my regular mechanic, who i trust a lot more, and he said that it should only cost $750 and take till thursday, the night before we leave. i got it towed there, and he's working on it.
So by the time it takes us to adelaide, it'll be in top condition running like...something that runs really smoothy and safely and reliably.

Miss Bonnie it was so lovely to see you again! Had the best time catching up (though we didn't get to do chai again) and perhaps we'll continue the TV wars in a different state the next time
Maybe here perhaps? Would offer you a massage, but with those 5 people tending to you, it's hard to squeeze in Catch up soon miss!
