I might be re-hashing a post long-gone, but I think it would be interesting for us PT'ers to give us a bit of interesting background about what goes on in their worlds!

Me first ....

I am a 21 year-old brunette, born so blonde that my mother thought I had no hair. Fortunately, my hair darkened, as my peers would not believe that a blonde with a generous bosom could be such a high academic achiever. I aced high-school, but made the decision not to study law or medicine as a) I did not want my family to succeed vicariously thorugh me b) I couldn't be bothered and b) I wanted a much simpler life, away from the constant pursuit of material goals.

Let's face facts, how many 18 year old's really know what they want out of life? All I knew was what I didn't want.

I went a bit crazy after that. I moved interstate (1000 k's) from my parental home to my current city of residence, Brisbane Queensland with my heartless ex-boyfriend. We broke up, but I decided to stay on, as I had become addicted to the balmy heat - such a wonderful contrast to the Siberian-like frigidity of Canberra's climate. I went through some hard times. I was broke, broken-hearted, afraid and alone. But, somehow, I "came out on the otherside."

I have said "Au Revoir" to my adolescence, leaving behind my innocence and my size-8 figure.

But! This young laydee is happier than she's ever been in a low-stress job with Australia's second biggest Telco (Optus), a boyfriend she loves and a kitty she just ADORES! Life just couldn't be better.
