This is where I get all self indulgent (for a change) and tell you about myself, what makes me tick, why I’m making this website, and why Posh was/is my favourite Spice Girl….

So, here’s the 411 (and a good excuse for me to play with little icons):


I am Australian.


Before moving to New York in May of 2008,
I lived in Amsterdam for three years.


I turned 32 this year.
I remember when my Dad turned 32.


I was born in a town called Point Lonsdale,
but spent most of my childhood living in Ocean Grove.


When I started university I moved to Geelong,
then to Melbourne for my postgraduate studies (and to have a life)

After much gnashing of teeth,
I got my Phd in bioinformatics and molecular biology/oncology


I studied and worked at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
and The University of Melbourne.

I used to be MUCH fatter than I am now; I lost about 40kgs/80lbs.
[all 'before' photos have been destroyed - thank me later].


I have a brother Justin, who died when he was young,


I also have two sisters Rachel & Jasmin,
both now married and all grown up.

I think of them all three of them, practically every day.


I have swum since I was old enough to walk.

§

I am a total technology junkie,
I like to question things,
I sometimes get annoyed at things too easily,
I am good at entertaining myself.

§


I love music, especially vocal/house/diva dance music.


I have about 1/10th of dad’s creativity and mum’s tenacity.
Thankfully, I also have about 1/10th of their hair.


I really love dogs and would like another of my own one day.


I miss my friends in Australia a lot .


I take great pleasure in celebrity humiliations.


I want an X5, so bad it hurts.

I don’t actually know what ‘the 411′ means.
