It’s not that weird, having a completely cyber wedding. That’s the thing about weddings…it’s entirely up to a person’s tastes. JOINT tastes, in this case, because I care what my future husband thinks about my special day. And I don’t care what anyone else thinks about what we ourselves think, because it’s not their day. I know, tradition should play a part, I get all the remarks from my relatives…maybe they’re just jealous.
Anyway, we’re having a cyber-wedding. I’m doing an app design course, he’s doing a web design course, together we’re the perfect techno couple, so why not? Everything will be online, from the ceremony to the reception, all the way to our vows. Anyone can tune in, so it’s instantly solved the problem of what to do about invitations. We’ve invited anyone who’d like to come; all they need is a password. The only real non-cyber part of the whole affair is how me and him will be in the same room, because we thought we’d at least do that much. You should see my dress: it’s wedding-style but in cyber green and decorated with circuits. His suit is the same, but themed red. The webcam photos will be amazing!
We’ve even put our degrees to good use, with him web designing us a website for people to tune in on our special day, order us gifts through the registry and generally leaving comments below the live video feed. Meanwhile, I’ve used my app design to whip up a fun little application that people can download before the ceremony. It’s called ‘Bouquet Toss’, and it involves on game-master (that’ll be me) virtually throwing a bouquet. Anyone who wants to play can then log into one massive game where they can equip weapons and use magic to defeat all the other players in the game zone to win the prize of the bouquet…but the game-master can throw in all kinds of surprises. And my parents said that I should find some nice, safe software development course around Melbourne. Once they see how much fun we’re all having, and how much we’re saving on catering, they’ll know I’m right.

There are many lessons to be learned from the world’s major religions. One does not need to be religious themselves nor have any belief in a higher power to glean knowledge and wisdom from the cultures and traditions surrounding religion. Judaism provides an interesting perspective on death. In the Jewish tradition, death and the rituals surrounding it are far more about the people remaining than the person who has passed away. In 
The problem with millennials is they are self obsessed. They love talking about themselves. Not just talking but writing too. As an editor of a major Melbourne newspaper I can’t tell you the number of articles I receive from a millennial titled something along the lines of ‘why millennials do X’ or the ‘the issues with millennials is Y’. Get over yourselves millennials, you’re not the first generation to have an identity. I met a 22 year old recently who had begun a career 
I have few complaints about the city of Melbourne and neighbouring towns. I think the services are really great, the lifestyle is good, and by and large, the people are generally open minded. However, there are two things that really suck about this part of Victoria. One is the Melbourne weather, and the other is the public transport system. Both the train system in Melbourne and the rural lines are erratic, with delays and cancellations occurring daily. It really isn’t acceptable in a world class city and one of the richest nations in Oceania. 
Personally, I don’t think the 
There is a special place down below reserved for people who replace the word ‘nice’ for ‘noice’. And people who chew with their mouth open. And then there are those who say ‘SNAP!’ whenever they discover they have the same thing as someone else. Wow, cool, who cares!!
What’s the worst thing that can happen to an introvert? Not just any old solitary person, but one with intense social phobia and agoraphobia. I haven’t left my home for the past three years, and I’ve been quite happy here. I get my food delivered by the supermarket van and occasionally my brother comes over for some human contact lite and I work from home doing menial internet jobs, and life is great. Until the day when the outsiders must come in…
I’m right up there in the big leagues. Rubbing elbows with the big dogs. Um…that’s as many metaphors as I can think of right now, but I’m doing very well, I think. I know that because I got to paint someone orange last night and it was the most gratifying thing ever.
I suppose if I had to pick some kind of terrain to get lost in, it’d be some kind of spooky forest. Once you come back from tromping around in a spooky forest, there’s really nothing else that can scare you anymore. It’s just like ‘oh yeah, went for a walk in a spooky forest full of spooky ghosts playing pranks and unleashing mischief’, and then you can basically do anything.
