CURRENT MISSION

To search and destroy.

ABOUT ME

Well, I smoke like a sailor, drink like a sailor, often swear like a sailor.. Maybe I should embrace this and commence building a boat. I love cooking, and eating. I will listen to anyone that wants to talk to me for hours on end. I adore trees, snakes, cats and most creatures, with the exception of leeches *shudder*

I am easily convinced to do almost anything, I'm always ready for adventure. I have been told I give good hugs, which is handy because I am quite affectionate. I was brought up to clean up after myself, I'll probably clean up after you on many occasions, I like to be helpful.

Very easily excited, distracted and ammused. I'm a pretty chilled out person, often described as "quirk fest" and "space cadet." I go into my own world on the dancefloor, I enjoy most kinds of music but primarily 60's and 70's rock, psychadelic and punk. But I'm always happy to listen to other people's music, I feel you learn a lot about someone by what music they listen to.

I have not travelled much in my time, so don't expect amazing tales of my wanderings. I do have other stories though, hopefully that will make up for it. I have insanely itchy feet, so I'm starting to save for travel now.

I do a bit of modelling, but I would never call myself a model. I love to sing, but I'm not exactly good at it. I'm just about to start life modelling, there's nothing obscene about the human form in it's natural state. I draw a lot, I take a lot of photos. I smile a lot. I can get along with almost anyone, I'm a very understanding person so if there are any problems just talk to me about it.

I'm a morning person, I often stay up late. I get pretty grumpy without my morning coffee and cigarette, but the extent of my grumpiness is generally muterring to myself on the way to find them.

Hmm, what else... I need another coffee.. And to buy blue hair dye, I make all my best decisions at 3am. Where did I put my lighter... Oh right, typing.. I have a terrible habit of thinking out loud. I seem to be missing that filter between your brain and your mouth a lot of the time. I'm not an angry person, you can sit there poking me for hours and I'll just carry on as usual. If you have bubble wrap you don't want popped or made into a bubble-wrap suit.. I suggest you keep it out of sight. You have been warned.

PHILOSOPHY

It's never as bad as it seems. If we have nothing else, we have hope. There is good and bad in every person, every situation, you just have to choose which to focus on. I think everything is exciting, I'm in a state of constant wonderment, the world is a beautiful place and I want to see and experience as much of it as possible. Personal philosophy... "Just chill man, have a *bleep*"? "Bitches be trippin'"? Something along those lines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just starting out, really.. But I tend to meet people, get along with them and end up being invited to stay with them for a while, or even a night. After Mardi Gras this year I ended up staying at a sashimi warehouse with some very kind, hilarious and absolutely wonderful people I had met on a bridge earlier that night.

Interests

Music, alcoholic beverages, story-time, funny hats, bubble wrap, shiny things, art, photography, books (I love the smell of old books, I'm glad the owner of my favourite second hand book store doesn't find this creepy), records, dancing, mindfullness, clowns, cloud watching, people watching, four leaf clover hunting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson (book over movie, but both are good)
The Way Of All Flesh, Samuel Butler (everyone should read this)
Naked Lunch is good in hindsight... At the time I wasn't sure how to feel.
The Stooges, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, The Runaways, Donovan, Bowie, Dylan, Zaz, Simon and Garfunkle, The Kinks, New York Dolls, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, Lisa Mitchell, Lou Reed, The Who, Ramstein, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Eagles, The Allman Brothers Band, Cyprus Hill, The Cure, Dr Hook.. I could go on but I have things to do today (trivia at the pub.. Oh yes!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met Thin Arthur from the Aunty Jack Show once, we talked for hours and I convinced him to come back the next week. He was a very interesting man. (I am well aware the majority of people will have no idea who this is. But holy amazeballs! I was so freaking excited!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy teaching people how to cook, I think it's a skill everyone should have. And if you get bored we can always pretend to be the onions screaming as they contemplate their fate (my little brother enjoyed it, at least)
Mindfullness, I know a lot of people who let their thoughts spiral out of control. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature.
I've experienced a lot in my 21 years, some of it good some of it bad. I'm always happy to share my experiences and what Ive learned with others.
