Big Brother up late
Posted: June 24, 2004 Filed under: BLOG | Tags: big brother, television Comments OffI’ve already discussed my penchant for watching this (I haven’t watched any of the other BB shows since the first series). Especially since I’ve started working a job that requires me to stay up very late, the nights where I’m not working I’m becoming accustomed to watching Mike Goldman fluff his way through a couple of hours of banality.
Last night Ryan (26) and Bree (21) were discussing their respective love lives. Two attractive young people, with personalities that certainly do not render them unattractive to most of the population, and yet their dating frequencies remained sporadic at best. Ryan hadn’t had a girlfriend for the last 2 years, and said he didn’t go up to girls he liked at clubs. Bree had been single for about the same and went on to say her first date was only a month ago (I’m assuming she’s referring to a first “real” date).
This makes me feel better. Not everybody out there is a fake loser just hooking up with whoever comes along. Some people feel they need to wait til it’s the right person, and yeah, it sucks that the right person doesn’t come along very often. But what choice do you have?

Auctioning off your virginity
Posted: June 22, 2004 Filed under: BLOG | Tags: Ebay, modern life Comments OffI must be the last person to have heard of the recent spate of “selling my virginity” on EBAY

This was the result found when I typed in “virginity” at Ebay – it’s sure to be pulled off by Ebay soon, so here’s his pic and his description: “i am willing to sell my virginity for the right price,i am 20 years old with hazel eyes,stand at 5″11,i am a very quiet person and dont go out much,hense the reason i am still a virgin.so i would prefer a gentle caring lady ….of all ages please.”

World Refugee Day
Posted: June 20, 2004 Filed under: BLOG | Tags: merlin from big brother, protest, world refugee day Comments OffOn my way down George St bumped into the large crowd that was progressing in protest against the government’s treatment of refugees. Public displays of emotion for the plight of others is so rare in Australia, that when I do see it, the passion and fevour that reverberates through the air always touches me, almost to the point of tears.
Near the head of the line was Merlin of Big Brother fame. Unless you’re completed disconnected from Australian popular culture, you’ll know of his own form of protest in which he refused to give an interview upon eviction, instead taping his mouth shut and holding up a sign that said FREE TH(E) REFUGEES.
Unfortunately I think the message was a little lost in translation as two fourteen year old girls in puffy jackets spotted him and started screaming hysterically “OMIGOD IT’S MERLIN! HEY MERLIN! MERLIN!” And then ran into the nearby KFC to show their friends the “celebrity”.
