About Me

Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I am a registered nurse, living in Sydney, about to begin my first year of real work. I grew up around the Pacific and have friends from various parts of the world ... mainly AUS, PNG, & USA. Recently I fell in love with travel and would love to do more. I think it would be awesome to have friends in every country and really get to know the locals therefore having a more indepth experience of the culture than just being an average tourist. I have a passion for education, stopping poverty, caring for the elderly, and the freedom for people to have alternative lifestyles. It would be a mad experience to work with the United Nations, Amnesty International or a likewise organisation to help eliminate poverty - I know, I know, bit of a Bleeding Heart and all that ... but I like it. :)

My latest craze

Ok, while I was in Melbourne I brought Roger Waters The Wall Concert Live in Berlin. I love it. It is tons of fun - they rebuild the wall and knocked it down and have inflatables and a trail scene etc. The only special event that the DVD doesn't have are subtitles for the concert (you can laugh at me; it is okay). Sometimes I don't understand 100% what the DVD is saying so I sometimes like subtitles. Well, due to the lack of them I decided to look them up. I found one that I really liked. I remember Dad playing it a lot back home and I think it is one of his favourites :) It is called Perfect Sense Part II

Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds, shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Little black soul departs in perfect focus
Hold on soldier
Prime time fodder for the News at Nine
Hold on, hold on soldier
Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight
[Marv Albert:] Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert
And welcome to our telecast
Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium
It's a beautiful day
And today we expect a sensational matchup
But first our global anthem
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds, shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
[Marv:] And here come the players
As I speak to you now, the captain
Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig
It looks to me like he's going to attack
By the way did you know that a submarine
Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year
[Edward:]That's less tax Marv
[Marv:]Yeah, less tax
Thank you Edward
[Edward:]You're welcome
[Marv:]Now back to the game...he fires one...yes
There goes two; both fish are running
The rig is going into a prevent defense
Will they make it? I don't think so
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds, shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense

I hope you enjoyed and got it.

Blog Warming Party

Hi everyone,

Well, yes, since it is the holidays I thought I would get a new blog happening. You know, a change is as good as a holiday. Ok, the main reason is that I couldn't comment on Taylor's blog unless I had the same blog account thingy. I am sure if I tried hard enough I could have figured it out or contacted someone who knew more about blogs or even just sent the comments to Taylor's email address ... but really, why not just have another blog? Tons of other people seem to be able to manage two so I am sure I can too.

My plan is maybe, my original blog will continue to be where I put all the latest news and goss and long blogs and this new Blue Nurse blogsite will be for photos and jokes and forwards and other things that I didn't write myself. At least this is the plan. Who knows, this may change in the future.

So welcome to the blog warming party. Walk around, check out the sites, help yourself to the refreshments and enjoy yourself.

Your Blue Nurse
