Friendly Fire

I have a slight problem.
How do you tell a friend that the girl he is currently with: is using him, is treating him horribly, and he should get out now? 


Without sounding like a horrible person?


In a Hollywood film it would end up that I am in love with the friend, telling him would mean I'd lose him, but it ends up he loves me too and then through something miraculous we'd be brought back together, get married and have 100's of babies... 
Sounds far-fetched but that's Hollywood for you.

However, this is life - not Hollywood's fantasy land and I'm not in love with my friend; I'm just freaking concerned for him.
This is his first girl friend, and I know he doesn't want to feel the way he did before having someone in his life... But she is a horrible person. She lies outright to his face, all the time.
I haven't met her yet, but I want to - just so I can punch her in the face.

One solid one for treating such a gentle person so horribly!

Who does she think she is?
She is jealous of all his friends, more so with the ladies. I can't quite work this one out: he was friends with these people before he even met her, so if he wanted to be with them, he wouldn't have chosen to date her...
I don't understand humans!

Her latest trick has been trying to guilt him into things. 
To tell him he is selfish and should buy her things...
Oh my dear lord above, that man be selfish? He can guilt himself into buying his friends things, by now she will have been showered in gifts. 


From what I can gather she has seen how much he earns and is gold digging her way into the rest of his life. 

I just don't know how to tell him he has made the biggest mistake of his life. He has already told her he loves her, and his friends are distancing themselves from him so they don't have to meet his evil shadow. 

That is not how life should be. 
If you've managed to keep friends this long after high school (and can still find things to talk about...) that should be congratulated, and you could presume that it would be a life long friendship -  until some woman comes along and ruins everything!
Horrible specimen of a human that even the devil himself would be afraid of.


On a side note, I'm thinking of having a dinner party and inviting old high school friends over.
 - excuse me while I go polish my knuckle dusters.

Time, ill spent

Dear Readers,

Depending on who is reading this, you might have have known that last week was very exciting for me, and not in a good way.
I attended the Uni Cocktail Party at this cool little bar in Fremantle, WA - called the East End Bar.
Awesome place, there were velvet covered walls, luxurious couches (including a chaise...) - all in all rather fantastic place, and I would generally recommend it!
However, and maybe its as I am hitting that early mid-twenties stage and I don't bounce back as quick, I have either had alcohol poisoning or my drink was spiked.
An experience that I don't recommend for anyone, nor one that I ever thought I would have.

Luckily it happened as the bar tab was closing and it was the last drink I had that was the issue.
However, I can not remember the last hour of the night.
I have been using my best detective skills to try and piece together what happened to me. I have found more people that remember the night a whole lot more than I do, so I am talking to them trying to sought out what I did - which ends up being an entirely different story.

I am a little wary now, and it will be a long time before I am able to drink alcohol again.

So let this be a lesson to all of you, keep an eye on what you're drinking - and how much you drink. Losing hours of your life and time not spent partying with your friends on the dance floor is time ill-spent.

theme, need a theme

When I tell friends that I have started a blog - each question has been the same.
What is your theme/what is it about?

To tell you the truth, I had no idea that I would need a theme. Here I was thinking I could just write and something would come out.

pondering what my theme would be

In my last post, I gave a brief history about myself. In which included some of my interests. Generally most people would grab one of their interests and make it into a theme.
One of the blogs I follow is about Jane Austen, and the writers love/experience with Miss Austen.


Though I love Jane with the majority of my heart, I feel like her as a theme has been done.
I could write on my baking explorations, but I'm not too sure on that one either - though it does match my title quite well.

one of my pies cooking,
if my theme was baking - the posts would be filled
with photos like this.

I would like to think that I could be my own theme, as there are a couple of blogs that I follow that do write just about themselves... I mean I'd like to think I am interesting enough to write about/for others to read about. That is the point of blogs right? That other persons would like to read it?

Interesting right??

I'd like to think I could take on a project, something that persons could read about how it goes (like cooking my way through a cookbook??), but I don't think I have good follow through tactics, or that uni would allow me the time to have a side project.

Working my way through "a side project"
I'm pretty sure this was the first pie I ever baked.

Or that I have a secret double life, and I should document it for others to discover... (may have just finished watching the entire series of "Secret Diary of a Call Girl"...)

I have a tumblr, so I somewhat already have a blog, but I don't fill it with words, or generally my own thoughts at all. I tend to reblog other creations that I feel could belong from my own life.

So this blog, though written with the intention for others to read, is going to be for me.
I'll try by setting aside time for mini projects, as well as letting you (the lovely reader who has stumbled upon this quite by accident...) into the life that is me.

I'm kind of exited now, to what silly things I will be getting up to, just so that I have something to write here :D

silly things I'll be getting up to
maybe when I'm a blonde again...

So sit back, relax and let me take you on a wild ride of a Perth Theatre and Journalism student...
(in saying that about my baking skills... Will be making a lemon meringue pie for the first time for my sister, she has been craving one for weeks... wish me luck)

First in First served

My brother has for a while been insisting that I start a blog. So, for you dear brother, here it is.
In this elementary stage, I thought I would give a brief history of myself.

My name is Megan, and I'm a part time nerd. I'd like to think I could get into gaming, but with my time spent reading Jane Austen (and other fab writers...), auditioning for yet another play/musical, and thinking I really should start practicing the piano and (finally pick up) the cello (and there is a tiny thing called University study that my tutors would like to think I do...) I don't really have the time.
Instead I appreciate gamers, and the time they put into their extra curricular activities.

I have changed my degree that many times that my own mother still asks me what it is I do to fill up my time. Currently I'm a journalism and Theatre student. I've just turned 23, which makes me in my early mid-twenties. Within my group of people, age does have a relevant significance. To which I am unsure as to why.

I'm from a little unknown city called Perth, Western Australia.
I lived there all my life, other than when I spent a stint in Sydney (for study and internship purposes).
I like it here, but I do feel the travel bug calling me away, and I have so many places I would like to move too. I'm not sure where in the world I will end up but I know I will miss all my friends and family when I do finally get up and leave.

I think thats all you need to know at the moment.
Oh, one more thing. I like pie. I like thinking about it, I like baking it, and I love eating it.
I hope that clears some things up.
