whilst stuck waiting in an understaffed public office recently, i read a "spiritual" magazine that suggested performing "random acts of kindness" as a way to help bring about "inner peace" i have been somewhat short on inner peace lately, so i figured i would give it a go acting on the advice of said magazine, the next time that i found myself driving on a "tollway", i paid the toll for the car behind, as well as my own, as i passed through the tollgate. the man collecting the tolls s...

as a much younger woman, the first “trend” i recall noticing in my emerging sexuality was a weakness for clever men. while all my girlfriends drooled over duran duran and boy george, i was consumed with bone melting lust over shakespeare and neitzsche. as all the other teenagers’ clung in sticky, slobbery, sweaty clinches at weekend discos, i was locked in my bedroom, reading glasses perched on my 14yo nose, caressing the leather bindings of library books and dreaming of the men that wr...

i think it’s about time someone removed the whole “shagging like rabbits all night ... nudge, nudge ... wink, wink” aspect from modern marital celebrations. whilst it’s obviously considered a bit of a joke to “tease” a “blushing young bride” about her “wedding night” (ie: about SEX), it’s kind of awful when you find yourself in your “congratulatory line” having to say stuff like: “oh, shut it, dad. i’m twenty-nine years old. i’ve already done it, for pitys’ sake”. why on earth normally...

it's true. i couldn't care less what you believe. or believe in . any of you. because chances are i will respect, accept, and try to understand you regardless of what you do or don't "believe". with the obvious exceptions of ALL socially intolerable "beliefs" (racial supremacy being one of many examples), if you are enriched by something i can't fathom, then i will stand aside with every courtesy and let you get on with your thing. i stand firm in everything i believe, yet i ...

are you ... 1/ an evolutionist or a creationist ? 2/ an idealist or a realist ? 3/ a fantasist or a pragmatist ? 4/ a communist or a capitalist ? 5/ a pacifist or a pugilist ? ... i recommend these as first date questions, myself. it would save a lot of people a lot of trouble *this has been another presentation from stickybeakoldlady productions*

my husband has the day off work, and it is raining anybody else who has been locked in a broom closet with a juvenile hyena will be able to appreciate my distress the couch is strewn with a sony playstation, three newspapers, the tv guide, chocolate wrappers, paddle-pop sticks and the remote controls to every device in the house and every half-hour, he says the same thing: “i’m bored” in desperation, he has been watching the only tv program he could find that doesn’t invo...

my mother is so funky that people wonder what “happened” to me. or didn’t happen. everyone that meets her says exactly the same thing: “your mum is so cool !”. (they do not add “how on earth did you turn out so rampantly anti-social with this ray of sunshine for a parent ?” ... but they all think it.) my husband and my mother get along so well that it almost pisses me off. they actually like each other. they’re friends . she spoils him rotten because she always wanted a son ...

imagine for a moment a maximum standard of living. (warning: idealism ahead. please don't call me a silly woman). a concept of private wealth in excess of a certain amount being removed from the individual/s in possession of it and redistributed “as needed”. how would one go about placing people who are very different into the same material position ?. by treating them unequally , of course. that is the western way. ... assuming that one could ever overcome the barriers t...

i was 19 when i left australia for the first time, united kingdom bound. and i found i was a type of traveller i never knew i’d be. i got immersed . lost. i was delirious. passionate. gawping !. i felt alien. aware. alive. and, oh yes, instantly addicted ... to me, the united kingdom was like some huge walking history book. history having been to me, until this point, something so boring and far away that the fact that it actually happened was astonishing !. on the hmas “vict...

george orwell (circa 1949): "it was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, as well as here, and the people under the sky were also very much the same ... ... everywhere, all over the world, hundreds of thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same ... ... people who had never learned to think but who were storing up in their hearts and bellies and ...

what is the worst ... 1/ thing you ever did and then blamed on "lust" ? 2/ lie you ever told ? 3/ mistake you ever made? 4/ accident you ever had ? 5/ feeling you ever experienced ? ... it's 'fess up time kiddies
