These books have been like comfort food to me lately. Makes me want to go get loose in San Francisco. On a more serious note, I want to write books like this about Brisbane. I’ll even base a character on you.

Anyone using Goodreads?

(via lanipauli)

I haven’t updated mine for a while (except for just then), but my profile is here.

I’d love some recommendations too. I tend to like anything with bizarre or possibly insane characters.

these are a few of my favourite things

  • Big plastic sunglasses.
  • Working with Rosa and Mee-na. In which we talk about relationships, sex and perve on hot customers.
  • Perving on everybody. Boys, girls, it doesn’t matter - aesthetics are aesthetics.
  • When Rosa sends me videos relating to cats or Trolololololol or BOTH
  • Polka dots and stripes.
  • Picking people’s brains. Learning new things. Being inspired by something different. Figuring someone out.
  • Singing. In the car. In the house by myself. At work. Sometimes with sassy, extravagant dance moves and poses. 
  • Feeding my housemate’s guinea pigs. Sometimes I save the leftover lettuce from the fruit shop and bring it home to them. Watching a bunch of guinea pigs going “nom nom nom nom” on lettuce is the cutest thing ever.
  • Many varieties of cute animals: cats, puppies, bunnies (my friend Ash has one, SO JEALOUS) etc.
  • Spending obscene amounts of money on books
  • Watching bad movies and dubbing the dialogue.
  • Drinking cheap wine and watching DVDs with my dear friend Peter
  • Terrible jokes containing the following: shit puns, sexual innuendo, political incorrectness and bird sounds
  • Cute boy in the Valley observing me touching up my makeup at the traffic lights: “You don’t need it.” 
  • Bringing the sass.
  • Enjoying something bizarre without any context or meaning.
  • Drinking and dancing in an unattractive manner and having the time of my fucking life.
  • Love. Not necessarily the mushy romance sort - the feeling you get when you’re with someone and you love every second of the time you spend with them. 
  • The excitement of a new love. The endless kissing, the slow burn that catches your breath, the swooning when they smile at you.
  • Playing obnoxious, wanky guitar solos
  • Writing so good that it makes me think, laugh or cry while reading it. Anything that provokes some kind of reaction from me.
  • Listening to my mp3 player, wandering around the city and pretending my life is a video clip.
  • Unexpected moments in every day life. 
  • Walking into a bar by myself and instantly feeling comfortable because I know half the people there. Hugging everybody. 
  • Music that fits your mood, mind and reality perfectly at that very moment.
  • Music from another era. 
  • Playing guitar. I don’t do it enough these days. I want to form a band. 
  • Eyeliner.
  • Bursts of art everywhere - from quirky street art to poetry on toilet doors.
  • The smell of fresh basil leaves.
  • Late night adventures. 
  • Brightly-coloured plastic beads.
  • When people tell me they enjoy my writing. I worry that everything I write is inane, offensive and stupid. I can’t explain how much it means to me when someone tells me that’s not the case.
  • Black Books, Arrested Development, The I.T Crowd
  • Listening to a playlist on my computer entitled “Pretty”, specifically containing all the songs that make me shiver when I listen to them.
  • Being stupid immature irresponsible dangerous Having fun
  • Laughing. And nothing else.
