Everyone get excited! We’re back for another year of Brisbane’s Muay Thai Boxing Competition! Last year saw Alex Boxer win the highest award. It almost seems like it was meant to be, with her last name, doesn’t it Nath? It sure does, Kath. But I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. You didn’t even …
I was that kid in high school who was always talking about tattoos I wanted to get. I’d already planned what I wanted to get and where. When I turned eighteen my parents threatened to kick me out if I even thought about getting a tattoo. Now I’m twenty-five and their rules have definitely relaxed. …
I just love inconveniences. After all, who doesn’t? There’s no better feeling than having your days disrupted with something totally unexpected and that’s going to make your life just that little bit harder. I live for it. For example, the other day I had to visit four different supermarkets to find a specific pasta sauce. …
For a while, people have been telling me that I need to get glasses. I kept telling them that I’m only thirteen, so obviously, I don’t need glasses! Thirteen-year-olds don’t wear glasses. Sure, I couldn’t see anything past two metres in front of me because it was all blurry, but I was managing just fine. …
Has anyone else noticed that cars tend to break down at the worst time possible? It’s always when you’re in a rush or your car is far from home or you’re in the middle of a freeway. Well, the other day my friend who lives an hour away from me decided to drive to my …

Does anyone else remember that game we’d all play in primary school called ‘rounders’? Its existence had been totally erased from my memory until I was out with friends the other day and someone mentioned it. The more I think about the game, the more amusing it is. You literally just hit the ball and …
Does anyone else remember in the early 2000s when everyone was getting those God awful feature walls painted? You know, that tacky trend where one wall in every room of the house was painted a different colour? It appeared on one renovations show then suddenly it was the thing to do. I remember when I …
When we finally arrived at the second checkpoint, we were told to give a report on what it had been like working with the others, tethered to their ship. My experience was truly terrible, working with Lorenzo, who spent the entire time blogging on his phone. Of course, I didn’t tell the reporter about that, …
My husband is so incompetent. You should have seen him last week painting the outside of our house. He was outside for three days straight just going absolutely nuts with the painting. He was painting wildly in all these different directions and using all these different colours, and frankly, he was just completely ruining our …
