If you know me well you will know that I hate to be a cliche. If something is a cliche then I try to avoid it, or at least pretend that I did it differently to most other people.
The new phase of my life that I will be embarking upon very soon plays right into the cliche box. I will be one of the gajillions of Aussies every year who go and work in the UK (and London no less) and while I have my reasons for caving on my original plans of much more random (and thus less cliched) destinations, I have a feeling that it's going to work out well.
This blog if just one more step into that direction of being a cliche. But hey, cliches are cliches for a reason aren't they? I'm going to list some that I love. And hopefully this blog (welcome by the way!) will be one too.
- Loving Harry Potter
- Having a coffee addiction
-Owning a Macbook and an iphone
- Doing an Arts degree
- Playing the ukulele
Anyway I'm writing this blog so friends can see what I'm doing once I leave Oz and because I really enjoy writing. I even wrote a novel once but you can't read it because it sucks. I have decided to call this, my new blog, 'clumsy traveller' because I will be travelling and I can be a little clumsy. I like to think that it's because I'm a little absent minded rather than uncoordinated. I have been told that it's endearing, mostly it means I have a lot of bruises. But seriously, you have to call a blog something.
So welcome! I will try and make it not boring.
Dear "Claire",
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy travelling, but sometimes I accidentally find myself brushing my teeth with my hairbrush, and cleaning my hair with my toothbrush because I have mixed up their respective containers. Does this make me clumsy?
Regards,
Clean in London
Dear "Clean"
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to write to me. I would firstly like to reassure you that the problem you have been experiencing is not in fact isolated and many others have told me of similiar experiences.
I suggest that you label the cases: 'hairbrush'and 'toothbrush.'It may help if you put labels on your hair and teeth to to ensure no mix ups there.
I am currently working on developing a special hairbrush that starts singing if you put it into your mouth. I have hopes the first prototype will be available mid 2012 at a very reasonable price.
I would suggest your dilemma does make you clumsy but you are in the best of company. Others such as Nelson Mandela and Billy Bob Thornton have had the same malady. Chin up!
Claire.
