I think I owe you a song

Men
Sometimes I forget that men have feelings too.
I’m a girl, and I know girls. I’ve grown up talking to my friends about our feelings and commiserating when things hurt and cheering when things felt right.
But men don’t often talk about their feelings. And so sometimes it seems like they don’t get hurt or sad like girls do. But they do. And as sad as it is to know,...
I queued my first tumblr posts
I figure this way I won’t be able to second guess myself before posting.
thejoebiz replied to your post: Truthful Tuesday.
It’s Monday.
I know. And I have to put my pants back on before I’m late to my meeting.
But I don’t wanna…
Truthful Tuesday.
When I post something that’s relatively open and unguarded I drown it with chatter and pretend you didn’t see it.

what is this notepad and pen you speak of? I’m confused.
I know, right? I don’t think I remember how to use a pen. It looks hard.
indefensible replied to your photo: Come back to bed, tumblr, I’m sleepy.
So *that’s* what you look like!
Umm yeah. Except not that orange. This itouch camera is a bit shit. And usually not as squinty or pouty but I had like three hours sleep and I have to buy a notepad and pen for this meeting because no laptop. So I’m cranky and want to go back to bed. Looking like this,

That’s the problem with not having a laptop at the moment. I can’t edit and crop the crap out of my photos. I just have to snap and post. And believe me, it’s making me very pouty to not be in black and white.
stuartgt asked: Having read your post, I realise I don't know what you do that people actually might not get so; What do you do?
I have a meeting tomorrow
And it’s 3 am… and I’m showing no signs of going to sleep. Or pretending to prep for it.
It’s a new client and you know when someone just doesn’t “get” what you do? So yeah, this will be an all day meeting where they nod and pretend they understand but I know they don’t really so I will be smiling and repeating myself while I secretly wish I could...
Dear women who can't open jars without a man
Here’s a tip - if you hit the side of the lid against a hard surface like a bench, just a tap, the seal will pop and the jar will open with ease. If it doesn’t work, do it again. And stop acting like such a pussy.
Random wet hair thoughts
Washing your hair is a pretty good excuse for not going on a date.
I have long hair so I have to wash it, condition it, towel dry it, comb it, let it air dry a little before using the hair dryer. Then brush it, then I have to GHD it straight. And then I have to style it.
So basically if anyone asks me on a date I’m not interested in I will be free with clean hair in about ten year’s...
So
This girl who was a bit of a bridezilla changed all her wedding plans at the last minute. Which is kinda expensive when you do that. And now she is in a bit of debt. So she’s been asking for more work.
All well and good until someone I do work for told me they were giving my work to her. Because she needs the money.
Just because I don’t go around saying I need money doesn’t...
If
If you had been biting your lip lately,
and if you had gotten a little ulcer on it because of this,
If you were Australian you could put vegemite on it.
It would sting like hell but it would fix it. Can your silly PB&J do that?
Name meme
My name comes from Nike, the goddess of Victory and means “bringer of victory”. Other than that it’s a real old lady name and no one calls me it.
My other name was made for me and probably means Sweet little Peace in some bizarre Latin-Russian hybrid.

Things that make me laugh
1. Funny jokes on favstar
2. When people “save” their “good” jokes for later because favstar is down.
3. Some other stuff but #2 is particularly amusing
Car candidates
brianstj replied to your post: Car meme
Any candidates?
Yeah, I’m torn. I want a red Mini Cooper with racing stripes, and a Volkswagen Touareg. And a Black Jeep. And I also have a real fucking soft spot for classic muscle cars. If I could get one that was just perfect… it would be mine.
So my taste is kinda eclectic.
Also, good cars only come in black or red. There are no other...
Car meme
I don’t own a car. Never have. Probably should though… but I want my first car to be right. I’m a car romantic… holding out for the right make and model.
Everyone says
that tumblr is unfollowing people randomly. If I’ve unfollowed you it wasn’t on purpose. So just throw a msg in my askhole. I wouldn’t have done it on purpose.
I wonder how much baldness comes from people...
That was a semi serious one.
My sister wore her hair braided to work and a colleague commented on all the grays she had. As soon as she came home she made me look at her hair and check. And was begging me to pull them out. But I couldn’t… because then she’d have bald spots :/
Weirdness
madshrinkage replied to your post: yuckyducky replied to your post: High school…
Alright. I must interject. Underpants rule? Who was checking? Foreign japanese diplomats?
Ok I know this is weird but it’s true. In the junior school they had to wear what we called runners. Which were overunderpantsunderpants. They were bottle green to sorta match the dress code. I guess they’re...
Private School
shookiesback replied to your post: yuckyducky replied to your post: High school…
Wow! I’m guessing you attended private school? There are few dress code restrictions in US public schools.
Yep :) But most state schools have dress codes here too. I think there’s only one locally that doesn’t have a mandatory uniform. And it’s not a very good school.
yuckyducky replied to your post: High school yearbooks
Were your parents strict or was the the school policy?
School policy. No makeup and no hair dye. I got detention for chewing gum once. We had to wear matching socks, proper shoes, and were only allowed the one colour for hair ribbons. I shit you not. You also weren’t allowed to wear a jumper (sweater?) outside of school unless you...
High school yearbooks
Something I’m noticing from these pics, and something I noticed when I had an American penpal as a kid, is you were all allowed to wear makeup at school. Even you guys, it seems.
Sexual Skeletons
For a start I’m not banging any skeletons. And have never done so.
But
Virginity - Lost or given away. Please call if you’ve seen it.
Actually if you saw it, I’d be mildly creeped out. I gave it to my boyfriend for his 16th birthday. Wrapped in a bow and everything. He was very sweet about it. Laid a blanket under the stars and made it as romantic as possible. Nice guy,...
There's a sex meme?
How does that work? The meme, not the sex. I’m pretty sure I know how sex works.
Who needs a unifying theme anyway?: Flowers. →
indefensible:
Freesias are the perfect flower to give to an aged female relative whom you suspect of being a closeted lesbian. She’ll know that you know, and that will make her comfortable or terrified. Either way, you’ve done your good deed.
Sometimes you’d like to give someone a bunch of vaginas, but…
I really like when things match
On the day of the height meme I have 555 followers. Just like my height 5’5” and a half.
FREEZE! NO ONE LEAVE!!! IT’S PERFECT!
Oops
I missed the second part of the meme.
My last boyfriend was 6’2”.
And most have been around that height. It’s not a conscious choice on my part. I think those tall guys just like the little people.
Which would make me a leprechaun so I am going to rethink that statement…
Height
5’5” and a HALF.
That half is important, don’t forget it.
Also I don’t really know which of the ’ or ” is right. Because although we have the metric system here we still talk height in feet. And baby weight are also in pounds. Makes no sense, but that’s the way it is. Upside down Down Under.
Truthful Tuesday
I can’t help questioning an unfollow in my mind. When it’s someone I know, like, and interact with. I’d never question it publicly but I will wonder what I did to offend them. Or bore them. Or whatever. I will scrutinise it for way longer than necessary. And feel incredibly bad because of it. But I will still reciprocal unfollow. If someone isn’t interested in me I will...
unbindingme asked: Two questions.. Have you checked out the books I suggested to you a few months ago? Who is a writer, living or dead that you'd like to spend a day with?
Truthful Tuesday
I am jealous as hell when you Americans go to tweet ups.
Also, if I went to a tweetup I would have to duct tape all my orifices shut because you guys scare* me a little. *tempt

a brief rant about stars = favorites on twitter…
First of all, any one of you who states “I don’t care about stars” is full of shit if they don’t stop reading this now.
The other day, I saw several tweets about “I star you, you star me.” I thought they were meant sarcastically. However, I…
stephiehell asked: if you had to pick being completely bald and not able to wear a wig or having one of your legs amputated below the knee but having an excellent, state-of-the-art prosthetic, which would you pick?
thejoebiz replied to your post: Where the hell have you been? Why have I not seen you around the internetz lately? Are you on some sort of wacky normal Australian schedule? Have I just been terrible at reading the Internet? Please advise.
That is SO much! Sounds like a force-fed break to me.. I’ve missed you.
I miss me too. I mean… I miss you :D
Yeah, I haven’t been AWOL by choice,...
You know when you tweet something that you think...
thejoebiz:
and it flops harder than you can even imagine hard being?
I’m very familiar with that feeling. This night needs more alcohol.
I know that feeling well. And then something you flippantly tweet will do better than something you actually put thought into. Go figure.
