Slight Case of Insanity

I have just had enough of everything at the moment. I’m tired, stressed and frustrated. Two weeks left of my uni holidays and I haven’t had an actual break. I went straight from uni + working + exams –> working full time, so I’m still feeling just as run down and stressed as I was [...]

So, I had my first car accident last night. I still haven’t quite processed properly that it happened, seems kind of like a dream. Still feeling a bit rattled from it, and was surprised how nervous I felt driving again today, as I consider myself a fairly resilient person. I was on my way to [...]

I watched this confronting video on Youtube today by Sir Paul McCartney. Some of the footage I had seen before from the Earthlings documentary, yet it is still as shocking as the very first time I saw it. It was after watching the Earthlings documentary a while ago that I made the choice to go vegetarian [...]

Ever since we were just young pups, women have been told to stick together. Girls v. boys and all that stuff. Support each other against the opposite sex, blah, blah, blah. But how am I supposed to rally with my fellow ladies when there is a large majority of them (oh, and I mean large) [...]

No, I will not pop out a baby to receive financial (and other) benefits. I choose to work for them instead. But apparently society gives no benefits at all for the childless. Saw this today. Made me so angry. Problem: Men are, on average, paid more than women in the workforce. Solution: Let’s pay women [...]

We see violent behaviour every day. In a myriad of forms, from news, television shows, movies, music. Everyday we are exposed to violence in some way. And, as we become less and less sensitive to the violent images we are constantly confronted with, movies and television shows have to elevate the levels of violence they [...]

Having just missed my second lecture of the semester (bearing in mind we are only in week 3), I thought it appropriate to have a good old rant about university parking.  I am at Griffith University and the majority of my classes are at the Nathan Campus, with only one at the Mt Gravatt Campus. [...]

Being new to this whole blogging thing, I am not quite sure what the etiquette is for posting or even what topics are deemed popular or correct to post about.  I had a journal as a kid. Yes, a good old fashioned  flowery-patterned, padlocked notebook which I wrote in (by hand with a pen, as [...]
