About me:
Hey all! I'm 21, come from Western Victoria, but live in Kensington, Melbourne. Last year I finished my third year of a science degree at the University of Melbourne, with a double major in Genetics and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. I'm doing my honours year doing a Biochemistry project, working on mitochondrial protein import, though it is taking up almost every hour of my life. Look up "Tim12"! I love alternative, post-punk, Britpop, indie and rock music, I hate chart music. I follow AFL footy - at least my Bombers are doing a little (!) better than last season. I'm teaching myself acoustic guitar at the moment, which meant the huge sacrifice of my beautiful long nails. I argue about everything, I lose my temper often, I'm a bad driver (last two = not a great combo) and have a love/hate relationship with almost every boy I meet. Nothing makes me madder than liars, ignorance, religion & creationism, Tories, 6am rubbish collection, and my alarm clock. I work a crappy job interviewing people on the phone, but it pays well - or at least covers rent and bills. Sometimes. I haven't shown up for three months. I studied Italian a couple of years ago, forgot most of it, remembered it again...and now forgetting it, again. I cook good Italian food though. Umm I also enjoy alcohol, surprise? Not when you consider they call me BoozerGal. Have fun.
Who I'd like to meet: People into the life sciences, and Roman History. Australians mostly, but open to all! All AFL fans...I recommend you check out myafl/ausboards. If you want to add me as a friend, PLEASE talk to me. I don't add randoms.
Ahhh, the deb ball. Major social occasion and cause for motherly poverty!!Hard to believe the parading of white frocked creatures could cost so much money. Couldn't they just all dress up and post their pics on My Space? See you there
Always great to hear from you. Kiwis are cool like that. It will be wicked after the All Blacks get even this weekend. Anne and I were at the G a couple of week back and watched the Wallabies get up. It was sad :-(
Anne has a party coming up. Weekend of the 18 th Aug. Talk to you Mum for more info as she should have her details tomorrow.
Its a new eductaion liftout set up by the Uni and The Standard, basicly I ring schools around the place and get some stories about issues or student/staff acheivements and write about them...First one will be inserted next week so im trying my hardest to get some decent storys to print, with not much luck other than "Sally won the spelling bee"..
If you haven’t already, come check out DepressionTribe.org - very neat new community website for those that deal with depression and are looking for support from others that can relate.
Matthew Richardson Fast Facts
Jumper No: 12
Height: 196
Weight: 105
DOB: 19/03/1975
Recruited From: Devonport (Tas)
The champion forward showed he still has what it takes to be a star of the competition, playing one of the games of the year in 2006. Against the Bombers in round 21, he pulled in 19 marks, had 24 possessions and kicked nine goals. Coach Terry Wallace said Richardson could play for another five years, and if he stays fit, he still has the ability to dominate matches. Led Richmond’s goalkicking for the 11th time and, with over 700 career goals, is third on the Tigers’ all-time goals list.
Draft history: 1992 National AFL Draft father-son selection (Richmond).
