If I Nail It Down, A Cyclone Will Flatten It

About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Non-Profit
Occupation	chiropractic monkey
Location	UQ (quasi-suburb), Centre of the Universe, Australia
Introduction	I'm going to be a cop out here. my blog will reveal my character better than an 'about me' page element. This is partly because I tend to write random epistles that are generally bald-faced lies, farcical and interspersed with disjointed mumbling; but partly, because as soon as I try to nail something down or give myself an attribute, it usually flies away/is flattened/etc etc. Anything I write is like removing the 'void if removed' patch off a scratchie - whatever value (or truth) it had is gone the minute you interfere with it
Interests	I desperately want to travel, but its more an 'interest' than an 'about me', I love to write [would love to be in the publishing industry someday] Music festivals & live gigs, reading (the classics, no matter how painful), I love my yoga, my running* [when bothered], lazing around nobby's beach, watersports [kayaking, snorkelling, etc etc] & anything adventure. my interests also extend to me not being able to save a cent - in the joy of living, i just about spend what i earn.
Favorite movies	Top 10 [or we'll be here all night]: ,1. Some like it hot ,2. Pulp Fiction ,3. Spinal Tap ,4. Fight Club ,5. The Princess Bride ,6. Wayne's World ,7. Kill Bill II ,8. Hercules Returns ,9. Romancing the Stone, 10. The Usual Suspects 11. [I totally rate] Eddie Murphy 'Raw'
Favorite music	Jeff Buckley, Jamiroquai, Gomez, Moby, Debussy, Oscar Peterson, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Steve Vai, Jack Johnson... I love a stack of jazz guitarists, a lot of jazz standards, Ministry of sound chill-out cds & a shameful collection of Earth Wind & Fire
