Tomorrow is my birthday and I’ll be waking up alone in an empty bed and then going off to work in an empty office all day and if you don’t think that’s a little depressing you should fuck right off.

I can almost remember a time when there were people who wanted to date me/make out with me. Almost.

I’ve spent the last hour at my work computer, trying to buy $10 Jetstar sale fares and I don’t even know why because I don’t want to even go anywhere but it’s like THE FARES ARE $10 THIS IS BIGGER THAN WHAT I WANT

I’m really pissed off at someone right now and I don’t know how to deal with it other than being a passive-aggressive dick. Help?

An Actual Interaction I Had This Week:

My friend: ‘Well, if you wanna come I could set you up with someone as their +1.’

Me: …

Me: I think I’m just gonna order food from my bed and watch Star Trek.

The name Tumblr is derived from the tumbler of wine I’m usually drinking when I make a post.

Sometimes I wonder if the reason I’m single is because there’s a video out there somewhere of me eating a baked potato.

Faking waves: how the NRA and pro-gun Americans abuse Australian crime stats → theconversation.com

The Sandy Hook massacre and President Obama’s response to it has refocused attention on impact of regulation on American gun crime. Crime statistics before and after the implementation of gun laws provide…

So I just read that the pro-gun lobby is twisting facts and trying to use Australia as an example of why gun laws don’t work.This makes me incredibly angry for many reasons. Please follow the link to realise why the stats that are being used are incredibly misleading.

Fun Things To Do In Apartments When You Have No Power*

- Read Sweet Valley High by the light of a borrowed camping lantern
- Drink red wine, because you don’t need to chill that shit
- Light lots of candles, then constantly fret that you might start a fire
- Order takeout and eat it all in one sitting because you have no fridge in which to keep leftovers
- Use last of phone battery making dumb Tumblr post

*Apartment has no power because we forgot to get it connected before we moved. Idiots.

#welcome home irish

Since I had a massive allergic reaction a couple of months ago to washing powder (labelled for sensitive skin LOLOLOL), it’s like I’ve been hypersensitive to everything. Absolutely everything seems to set me off, with no rhyme or reason. It’s been exhausting. It’s been particularly awful the last few days, no doubt because packing up all my shit to move is kicking up loads of dust.

So I’ve been trawling the interwebs for remedies and I read that drinking apple cider vinegar in warm water is great for allergy relief. OTC antihistamines don’t do anything for me anymore, so tonight, when another attack hit, I thought I’d give it a try.

Maybe it’s a placebo effect, but I swear that within 10 minutes, my whole body calmed down. No itching or overheating or breathing problems. The haziness I get with an allergy attack cleared and I actually feel vaguely human.

If this is the allergy cure I’ve been looking for my whole life, I’ll never say a bad word against weirdos on home remedy forums ever again.

I went to uni and worked in Hawthorn for like years - YEARS - and now I have to go to dinner on Glenferrie Rd tonight and I’m freaking out about how to get there.

This is what happens when you’ve been swallowed up by the inner-north bubble and haven’t left the area bordered by Hoddle St, Royal Pde, Brunswick Rd and Victoria Pde in years.

Here are some things that have happened in my life over the last few weeks:
- I left my job at the Red Cross, where I’d been for 18 months
- I started a new job that isn’t in retail
- I found out I have to move
- My lovely friend Phil turned up back in Australia unannounced and suggested we move in together
- I got into a Facebook fight with my soon-to-be ex-housemate
- My bird died

2013, you need to just chill the fuck out.
