I make all these hilarious in-jokes with people at work, or myself, and I want people to hear them but they are so contexutual.

How I feel about my ever increasing book collection that I don’t have the ability to concentrate on. I need to be making things, I don’t have time to read. I need to work, I need to playyyy, I don’t have time to read.
Despite how much I love hiding inside stories, I...
In relation to that last post; I have a small obsession with categorizing my personality. This is probably in tune with my desire to know what, exactly, is wrong with me; assuming there is something wrong.
I may be over-excited 48% of the time but at least I am a winner.

There will be someone claiming that it is the thing that is holding them back from achieving everything they dreamed of.
I don’t do anything amazing because I am lazy and whiny, not because I live in Brisbane.

Hi,
I’m Rachel.
I love my car (the datsun), buying things (other peoples junk, from eBay), sewing (mostly clothes), reading (favourite authors include Chuck Klosterman and Roald Dahl) and whinging about how it is inevitable that I will be single forever, because I have a chunk of shaved head and I know what a carburetta does.
But that’s not really the reason. I don’t know the...
I haven’t been like this in a long time and it is scary and I hate it and make people hate me.
Note to self: Stalk less

Dear Josh,

what on earth is a bogan?
How nice of you to ask.
The Australian equivalent of “white trash”/ “red neck” I suppose. Unintelligent, rude, racist, poorly dressed hoards that comprise a large percentage of the Australian population. Enjoy things like Crocs, Ed Hardy and cheap rum. They name their children after places and I could go on about this ALL DAY but I suppose you...

syntheticpubes:
I used to read stuff like this and get upset. But then I realized that my entire generation knows it’s baloney. They can’t explain it intellectually. They have no real understanding of the subtleties of the law, or arguments about artists’ rights or any of that. All they really understand is there are large corporations charging private citizens tens, if not hundreds of...
