Confession time: I haven’t been the best worker over the last few months. I know, perhaps I was never a model of a perfect worker before, but for sure, over the last few months I have been distracted. Not just at work, either. It’s becoming an obsession, a habit that’s gone so far I’m not …
I can’t help thinking sometimes what it’ll be like in space. We’re obviously going there…you can tell from all the sci-fi movies that are set a few years into the future. Like in The Mauritian, even though their mission to Mars went completely wrong and one guy ended up stranded in Mauritius. And there was …
My twin sister and I have always been rivals. From the moment we could take our first steps were were racing each other and challenging each other. Like most sibling relationships, this was both bad and good. Bad because it there has been an edge of hostility and competitiveness between us ever since, good because …
I do a lot of gazing during exam time. Gazing out of buses, gazing from my desk out the window. This time, while gazing out of my window, I discovered that I’ve never actually looked at the window itself. The wood was very old and was looking a bit gnarly, so I decided to get …

So, my folks made their decision to go away for their anniversary during my school holidays. I say it’s a mistake because as you can imagine I took the opportunity to go wild,. I wanted to have a massive house party. I was already 18, even though I was in year 12, so I was …
Shopaholic right over here. I love buying new things. Take me into a second hand store or op shop and I’ll claw my way out screaming. Screw old things, bring in the new, that’s what I say. Since my income could no longer keep up with my spending, my boyfriend stepped in. I think he …
I was in a bad way with my boss. It’s was as if every time he came past I was bludging on the job. I’d be leaning against a machine, a coca cola in hand and my butt-crack peeking through my un-belted trousers. He called me into his “office” one day, a windowless shoebox in …
As a filthy rich businessman, my tastes have become quite niche. The mundane really has no impact on me anymore, my senses are dulled by the ordinary. That’s why I can only get my thrills and kicks out of the extreme, only then can I feel anything. Possessions, no matter how sumptuous, also bring me …
My partner got into a bit of trouble with the law. It wasn’t his fault, he was just involved with the wrong people. Anyway, since then, a bunch of evidence has come up and we also need to send important information between the lawyers. We were having a really hard time finding appropriate packaging for …
