Me and my Life

I live in Christchurch but I'm migrating to Wellington in 2009. I temporarily live at home and am not ashamed of it. I like our house and flat screen TVs and heat pump and dishwasher and laundry. I might need counselling when I move to Wellington to deal with the loss of these things.

I really am from New Zealand and my alleged American accent is an accident. I did not have an American accent when I lived in America so how can I have one now? I went to school at Southeastern Louisiana University for 4 years from 2004-2008. The weather was much nicer there apart from the occasional hurricane.

I would rather spend money to eat at a nice restaurant than buy a nice shirt. I definitely don't have enough money to do both. I would rather buy sausages from the butcher than a pack of Sizzlers at Countdown. And I am a supermarket brand snob with a particular hatred towards the Pams brand. I enjoy cooking and eating out. Basically, I like everything about food and its consumption. Wine and beer aren't bad either.

My friends are cool and are generally nice to me so I am generally nice to them. Ditto for my family. I have a Mum (Queen Lyn), a Dad (Gary), a younger sister (Tara), and a dog (Goldie). Tara has a fiancée (Bob) and they are getting married next year.

I'm not very photogenic but I still let people take pictures of me all the time. When my Dad learns to use his digital camera I will even let him take pictures of me.

I think sarcasm is one of the highest forms of wit but it is in a close race with toilet humour.

I hate it when people spell stuff wrong and put apostrophes in the wrong place. I am a hypocrite because occasionally I have bad spelling and grammar.

I don’t like running but I tolerate it. Sometimes running is necessary… if something on the stove is boiling over, if you need to get the mail when it is raining outside, and if you desperately need to go to the toilet. I do like lifting weights. I especially enjoy the rare moments when I can lift more than a guy.

I sit in front of a computer all day. It is very exciting. When I am at home I like sitting in front of the TV. My favourite show of all time is Outrageous Fortune. I also watch Shortland Street, Gossip Girl, Army Wives, Veronica Mars and Inside New Zealand. I used to watch Intervention but we don’t get it in New Zealand.

I play softball. It rocks. I have also played tennis, golf, soccer, netball and a variety of other sports. They rock too, but not as much as softball.

I like American football (aka gridiron). Even though it lasts for three hours there is plenty of time for food breaks, bathroom breaks and any other kind of break you can think of. I also like rugby and I’m not willing to decide which of the two I like watching better. I love watching the Olympics but I don’t think that team sports (especially beach volleyball, handball and U23 soccer) or equestrian or tennis belong.
