About me

Gender Male
Industry Student
Occupation Bachelor of Nursing
Location Wodonga, Victoria, Australia
Introduction I was born in the US and moved to regional Australia when I was 11 with my family. I was never one to excel at school or even enjoy it and as a result, I dropped out of high-school at age 15. Fast-forward seven years and a few different jobs and you’ll find that I’ve just finished the first year of my nursing degree with straight A’s (except for one B…) and have plans to go onto medical school; funny what a bit of motivation can do. I try to fill in what spare time I have by spending time with my fiancé and with work at the local hospital. I also try and keep up with general technology and gaming news.

Sponges and tongues are frequently misspelled. Is it because both are thirsty?

Desirous fits better than thirsty. A sponge has a desire to become something special, perhaps to be used to clean an Audi made of silver. However, they are more commonly used to clean dishes. Tongues are much the same; most have an opinion that they would like to speak, but are often suppressed or ignored. In this way both sponges and tongues are alike; very misunderstood and misinterpreted.
