An Introduction.
December 30th 2006 13:17
Hello, brave trawlers of the wide expanse of the Internets.
I am Catie, a.k.a. The Anxious Outsider. I will write of various adventures and comparisons I find through my new life as a displaced country girl in the city. Currently I am back home in Tamworth for the holidays, and yes - I couldn't bear the thought of missing the Country Music Festival. All the rum, beer guts and inconveniencing road blockages a girl can handle.
Thus far, there are two things immediately apparent to me after spending a year in Sydney and coming home:
1. Sydney people have no clue about the water crisis the whole nation (except Glen Innes - fuck you, and your stupid green everything!) is currently facing. I myself had no idea of the extent of the damage...we need rain like, soon. It's not a matter of only watering the garden twice a week and taking other disciplinary actions apart from hosing down the children. There's no spare water! Put a bucket in your shower and use it for the garden! Bottle your tears!
2. Everyone seems to be wearing 'muffin top' here this season. Seriously, showing off your attractive saddle bags by having them pour over the top of a pair of Roxy hipsters is about as appealing as crabs. Sigh.
It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, so I must uphold my tradition of bringing in the new year with my head in the toilet. Adieu.
