It’s probably weird to hear that some people have a favourite country, but has anyone else ever felt particularly drawn to a country they’ve never been to? A few of my friends feel very drawn to America as it is where some of their favourite bands and movies have come from. Others I know are …
Do you ever find that sometimes there’s a process you need to do but there’s a certain step in that process that you just despise? For me that step is editing. I currently work for a historical tours company where we give walking tours of iconic locations in Melbourne. My personal favourite are the guided …
As some of you may know, recently I have been confined to a wheelchair. It’s such a strange and frustrating feeling going from someone who was ‘able-bodied’ and could rely on their legs to get them places without a second thought, to now having to spend my days in a wheelchair. When the car accident …
When tears stain your face, there’s only one thing that I know of that will make you feel better. I’ve always tried to be the person that you can rely on, to tell you that you’re great and that I’ll love you no matter what, but it doesn’t seem to do the trick. I’ve learned …

The astronomers at the Steel Merchants’ Guild have recently discovered that one of Jupiter’s moons has an incredible amount …
I’ve had extremely crooked teeth my whole life. It’s never particularly bothered me but I definitely have found it uncomfortable from time to time. Occasionally I would get bleeding gums due to my teeth crowding, but beyond that, I never thought it was a big deal. I’ve always followed the notion that I brush and …
I’m thirty-two and I hate my job. I hate it so much. I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to put teenagers in charge of picking their future professions but that person should be fired. Sixteen year old me really wanted to be a structural engineer. Boy was I wrong. I made …
Okay, I’ll admit that maybe prank calling all the welders around Melbourne was a bad idea. It was a stupid dare that I shouldn’t have gone along with, but I knew Rachael would make fun of me if I chickened out. When I agreed to the dare, she shoved a copy of the phonebook in …
