We just got our proposal video back and I am so excited to watch it. They sent it to us on this virtual platform and sent a really cute handwritten note in the mail telling us it was ready. It kind of looked like a save the date notice but it was alerting us to …
‘And how long have you known my mother?’ I asked, raising an eyebrow. The man at the front door grinned at me with teeth so pristine they had to be fake. ‘Oh, just a few months now,’ he sparkled at me. ‘She’s quite a lovely lady.’ ‘A-huh,’ I frowned. ‘One moment please.’ I closed the …
I dusted a speck of mud off my brand-new leather jacket and scowled at the stain. I must have made a sound too, because my brother turned around to look at me. ‘You know, nobody made you come,’ he said, as I squinted into his torchlight. ‘I would have been happy to look for my …
Remember in my last update when I told you that everything was going smoothly and that I was really happy? Well, things have taken a turn for the worst, which tends to happen on large projects like this. I’m disappointed that I’ve reached a bump in the road, but it’s not unexpected. What happened, you …
I am living a love story. It’s without a doubt one for the ages and it is the type of story that people write about, sing about, scream about – you name it. I never thought that I would be the type of person that would be lucky enough to find unconditional true love, but …

The RPG system didn’t even have rules for fighting, …
It’s been quite a week for financial scandals. As a financial journalist specialising in the technology arena, that’s good news for me – bad news is better than no news, as far as I’m concerned. Still, even I can’t help but grimace at some of the fraudulent activity that’s going down at the moment – …
Cleaning all of Melbourne’s sewers was a lot harder than I thought it would be. In theory, it should have been easy. I used to teach my school class all about sewers and what it would take to clean them. But even with my knowledge, a magical wizard from space, a cute bandit and a …
A drive with friends in the country: what could be better? Well… how about not breaking down in the middle of nowhere, and having to walk 45 minutes down the road to get enough reception to call for a mobile mechanic? That’d be somewhat better. Unfortunately, it seems like this occurrence is part and parcel …
I hate being caught in the middle of things. My high school careers counsellor always said I’m a pacifist by nature, and that I’d be a good diplomat because I can see both sides of an issue. What he failed to realise is that, while it’s true that I can see both sides, it’s precisely …
