A meme via annella: I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. (some I probably know too well, hahaha. but trust me-- I never met a cut tag labelled "tmi" that I didn't click INSTANTLY.) I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But no matter what, I love that you give a damn enough to stop by my place.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself? Any old thing at all, the more trivial and fascinating, the better. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they enjoy nose-picking on balmy summer evenings, and have a giant birthmark shaped like a wilderbeest on their right buttock." (hey, I told you I loved those tmi cut-tags.)

I'd love it if every single person on my friends list would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

Ah, I thought only people whose parents want them to do medicine had this issue. But here I am desperately reading and rereading uni websites trying to find a course in Sydney which is nearly as awesome as the one at QUT so that my mum will stop yelling at me about having a closed mind. Lovely.

In the event that this effort fails - I know there is at least one Queenslander on my flist. I'm looking into the logistics of studying there, which basically means shared accommodation (that bit's not so difficult) and a job. Given average rent prices my minimum is twenty hours a week at something that pays $15 p.h. Having only dipped my toe into the employment pool in the context of weekly bread I don't really know what brand of creature I'm looking for. Advice? Thoughts? Reality checks?
