where do you meet people when you’re 34 and single, and everyone else is partnered up with/wo kids?

putting your money where your mouth is

i think i smell the smell of optimism in the air.
i think it has a lot to do with the rudd government. i think it has something to do with saying sorry, the first female governor general, a summit where some of the best and brightest (and russell crowe) get to share ideas. i know […]

‘the secret’ part ii

maybe there is something in this secret business after all.
