Following months of diligent practice, Julia aced her driving test last week, earning herself a triumphant victory. In celebration of her achievement, her parents presented her with a car – a gleaming blue compact – one that perfectly embodied affordability. While the vehicle was second-hand, her parents deemed it prudent to refrain from bestowing a …
Does anyone else hate driving while sitting in silence? In fact, I’m not sure if I hate sitting in silence more or if it is talkback radio that absolutely grinds my gears. The day has finally come for my car’s CD player to stop working and I’m absolutely spewing. There’s nothing I love more than …
Okay, I feel like such a bad person. Ever since that blog post I wrote complaining about the price of running a car, bad things have been happening to people’s cars that I care about. My car is fine seeing as I have literally just gotten a car service from a mechanic in the local …
I’m so sick of my dad being obsessed with cars. They’re just all he talks about. He would choose to never see me again over never driving his precious cars again. I know it sounds like an exaggeration but it’s genuinely the truth. He looks after his cars so well, better than he’s ever looked …
I’ve been in a long distance relationship with a man I met online for the last two years. He’s from Perth and I’m from Melbourne, and he has told me for the last year that he’s eager to move to Melbourne to be with me forever. I want to be with him forever too, so …

I’m a pretty self aware person and I know that some of the things I do probably aren’t aligned with what a ‘normal’ person would do. I say this very lightly, because I also know there is no such thing as a normal person, but I do recognise that my obsession with things isn’t normal. …
I don’t know if you’ve ever had a really bad sunburn like I have, but I can easily say based on personal experience that sunburns are genuinely one of the most painful things in the world. I say that because right now, I’m experiencing the worst sunburn I’ve ever had. I went to bed last …
Working from home is fantastic. I love it. I very rarely even actually work from home either. I’m either in the park with my children playing and my laptop out, or in the car making work calls and driving to visit my parents. It’s given me so much more flexibility and it had never come …
I am so hungry. I only ate four hours ago, so it doesn’t make sense to why I’m absolutely starving, but I am and it’s making it hard to concentrate on what my mechanic is saying. I’ve just arrived at the car mechanic in Hawthorn to pick up my car on my lunch break. He’s …
