WritersBlock: Socializing- We’re All mates Here

Nine5Four The Magazine:WritersBlockMy names Kristie, I'm an Australian model and writer. I love my apartment, my friends, chocolate, wine and my boyfriend… not necessarily in that order.

First of all let me just say I drink beer, chase it with an awesome glass of red and im not afraid to challenge someone twice my size to an arm wrestle over the last bit of shrimp.

Im a typical Aussie with the humour to go with it. What is typical Aussie humour? Id say Honesty.. Not sensitive or compassionate but straight up Chopper Reid style.

In Chopper’s case, the humour comes from attacks on political correctness.. Rather than conform, Chopper is honest enough to state how he thinks and feels. This results in him criticising the art world, lactose intolerant kids and men who go by the name of Stefan.

In short, we have no hesitation in telling someone to harden the fuck up.

America, on the other hand has always been a dream of mine to travel to. The beautiful people, amazing food, gorgeous accents that make me weak at the knees, soda, sex tapes, real life cowboys ahh a girl can dream..

But can someone please explain to me what is going on with the White Christmas? Don’t get me wrong, I love snuggling up by the fire drinking wine and getting cozy, but have you ever thought about a hot Christmas? A Christmas where you can swim and have barbeques, get drunk off beer and realise at the end of day you can’t drive home because the steering wheel is too hot.

Now that’s a Christmas Down Under.

I once heard an actor say “The country itself is the ultimate joke; the wave you body-surf into shore after a day at the beach could contain a shark or a rip-tide and, when you get back, your house could have been burnt to the ground in a bush fire. That’s where the whole ‘no worries’ thing comes from.”

I love Americans, their strength, good humour and their ability to give a small time Aussie girl like me a chance to expand my creativity.

If you don’t get a chance to come on down to Aussie town, feel free to drop me a line and say G’day.

After all.. We are all mates here..
