welcome me.

we are moving house in 8 days. i wish moving house was as easy as joining a blog.

i was standing in the line at centrelink today and suddenly a guy picked up a chair and started chasing another guy with it. the chair guy was rushed out by centrelink workers and the other was taken out the back, well behind the magical screens.

although i didn't want anyone to get hurt i was a bit disappointed it all ended so quickly and got me thinking that perhaps when there is a big line at centrelink everyone in the line could perform some sort of 'item'. a poem, a monologue, modern contemporary dance piece, that sort of thing. it would surely be more entertaining then just staring at the back of the head of the person in front. it could even be rated by applause and if you were really good you could be awarded a frontage, backage or even go straight to the desk. and if you were bad you would get given 10 -20 forms to fill out and then have to rejoin at the end of the line.

my friend kate and i once were in the centrelink line listening to missy higgins (before she got way popular) on my ipod and were doing some interpretive dance. it's amused us and i reckon everyone else liked it too, except that to them we probably just looked a bit silly because they wouldn't have heard any music.
