Melbourne or Bust!

[aussietraveler]

Hey all! I'm back finally from the amazing paradise of the Northern Territory after a months worth of amazing adventures in the bush and out. I'm not going to go into any details tonight, but I thought I should check in since I haven't had an entry for over a month and a half. Classes are looking good this semester and I've had a really great

Once again...

[agentkjb]

Once again, I must say is that if your picture is how you look now, I'm gonna have to read up on some martial arts to be able to beat off the guys that wanna get to know you.

Haha, you're so sweet Koustubh. You wouldn't say that if you saw what I looked like during my camping trip tho ;o) (the pics will be sent out soon). The hair definitely doesn't look quite up to par without some serious management!

[aussietraveler]

Haha, no worries, I'll do my best :o). Although I'm not always as happy as in this entry, slitting my wrists is not on my list of things to do! I haven't really explored LJ--are there really that many people talking about committing suicide?!

[aussietraveler]

Yeah, definitely. Maybe it's their idea of coming to terms with death?
It's interesting that this whole suicide thing came up in the past day or so, because only last week I had to start reading a book that semi-deals with the idea of committing suicide and how today (at least in the book) if a person wants to commit suicide their peers figure it's their choice and won't stop them and might actually help them reach their goal. Then just now my friend told me about a recent aquaintance of hers who killed himself a couple of days ago. And earlier today when I was with a group driving over a bridge one of the guys up and explains how people that jump off this particular bridge aren't killed by the impact with the water surface, instead their momentum shoots their bodies deep into the mud beneath the water and they suffocate in that!
I find this is all rather sad and disturbing.

do you drink fosters or guiness?

[aussietraveler]

Neither, actually. I'm a Strongbow or Mercury fan. I have yet to see an Aussie drink fosters.

[ryanpudlitzke]

YES!!! i knew it! see, most of my stupid fellow americans think all australians wrestle kangaroos and drink fosters. but i, im smarter than them.

[chilledxoctober]
