Today is a pretty special day here at Smaggle. It was 6 years ago, on this day, that I first started snapping photos of my daily outfits and posting them on the internet, which was extremely odd behavior back in 2007. It used to take like 1o minutes to load a photo into a post and formatting was a NIGHTMARE. Blog years are kind of similar to dog years I think, so that would make my blog 42… which is quite a bit older than me, so that’s a terrible analogy. Anyway, I digress. I’ve been plugging away at this little corner of the internet for a large chunk of my life and I have to say that starting this blog is easily the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve been lucky enough to have turned Smaggle into a part time job in the last few years, which is just the weirdest thing ever. If you told 16 year old me, that grown up me, would eventually spend several days a week writing whatever I want on my very own website, I probably wouldn’t have cried that time I got a score lower than 85% on that English essay.

My most favourite thing about blogging is coming home at the end of the day, whether I’ve been teaching, freelancing or rehearsing, kicking off my shoes and reading all the comments and emails from my readers. I’m so fortunate to have such an engaged and engaging readership. You guys really are what keeps this blog alive. You’re my BFFs. The only reason I’ve consistently updated this blog for so long is because I love chatting with all you mad cats, sharing ideas, having amazing debates and just having a laugh. Thank you. I like you all very much.

On that note, before I get too soppy on you, here’s a list of all my new favourite insults I’ve heard in the last few weeks.

1. Douche Canoe

2. Plonker

3. Dick Salad

4. Knob End

5. Arse Pelican

To finish off this post, I’m going to steal my mate Woog’s phrase ‘de-lurk’ and ask everyone who reads Smaggle to take a minute and introduce yourself!

Are you a Gemini vegetarian? Would you one day like to open a Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Would Like To Do Other Things Good Too? Did your father invent toaster strudel?

If you need help you can follow this All About You Mini Quiz.

1. What’s your name?

2.  Where are you from?

3. What’s your favourite breakfast food?

4. Have you ever been naked in public?

5. Do you look in your friend’s bathroom cupboards when you go in there to pee?

6. Would you rather have sex with Fat Bastard from Austin Powers or Goffrey from Game of Thrones?

DE-LURK! DE-LURK! DE-LURK!

    All right, you’ve convinced me to successfully delurk! My name is Kate!

    I was born in Aberystwyth, Wales, but I now live in Canada and my favourite breakfast food is waffles. Only waffles. I’ve never been naked in public, I always look in my friends bathroom cupboards (and sock drawers every time they leave the room) and I am SO not answering the last question.

    I was 12 when you started this blog, just to make you feel old!

  2. Claire 11 years ago

    Happy birthday to your blog!
    I’m Claire, I’m 23 and I started reading Smaggle in 2010. I have very similar hair to you but I’m not brave enough to do the chop! I’m from regional Victoria but I’m a total wannabe melbournian. My favourite breakfast food is porridge – I’m boring like that. I believe I was last naked in semi public on the day I was born. I’m a confessed cupboard rummager. I would probably have to choose fat bastard over Joffrey, but I just threw up in my mouth a little bit….

      Do it! YOu’ll love it! I’m all about the volume! x

  3. Trudi 11 years ago

    Well I have just been introduced to your blog so of course I should introduce myself. I am Trudi from country victoria (actually Eltham and it is metro melbourne unless you are an inner city dweller then it’s the country).
    I eat museli but my new love is this orange and cranberry house made toast from Toby’s Estate coffee
    Possibly partly naked when I was younger! Oh and the birthing suite but I suppose that’s not public is it
    On occasion I have had a look.
    I don’t know the second one but fat bastard and his bodily functions make me want to vomit.
    Oh and an acquaintance recently called me a dick snap via text that she meant to send to her high school buddy! The funniest mis-text I have ever received.
    I will continue to stop by. This has been fun

    • Liz @ I Spy Plum Pie 11 years ago

      I’m an Eltham girl too (well, I spent my childhood there but don’t live there anymore). I still go out all the time to see my parents, such a gorgeous part of the world

  4. Nicole 11 years ago

    Yay! 6 years! Smaggle is a first grader, getting all grown up.
    1. My name is Nicole. Not really a big surprise there…
    2. I was born in Sydney, grew up in Canberra, spent 4 years in Newcastle, 1 year back in Canberra and am currently living in Daytona Beach, Florida. Next stop, is Melbourne as of May next year & I can’t FUCKING wait!
    3. Any and all breakfast food. But lately, waffles. And bacon always.
    4. I have been naked in public. I’m a country girl at heart and have little to no shame & will proudly show off my bodacious bod.
    5. I always sticky beak. I am super nosy and will peak in every cupboard I can.
    6. Goffrey, easy. I would make sure I orgasmed first and would roll over and go to sleep as soon as I do. Suck it, Blondie; no cuddling for you.
    Congratulations lady, looking forward to your next 6 years. You’ve influenced my style and have infiltrated my every day vocabulary.
    Mwah!

  5. Michelle... 11 years ago

    Heeellllllooooo!
    I’m Michelle, and I live in Christchurch, New Zealand although my heart resides deep in the Waikato.

    My favourite breakfast food just right now is Marmite on Molenburg with a slice of Swiss cheese. YUM.

    I’m not aware that I’ve been naked in public, however I do live on a busy road so I’m sure that people walking past my house might have copped more than they were expecting when they glance at my bedroom window 😀

    I sometimes look in people’s cupboards. Can’t remember the last time I did though. I laugh at the idea of people looking in ours.

    Fat Bastard or Joffrey? Ugh. Joffery, if I really had to.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      I LOVE Christchurch. Such a beautiful city.

  6. Liz 11 years ago

    Alright, Smags. I hardly comment on anything any more.

    I’m Liz! I’m from Hobart. I loooove eggs Benedict, but it is a rare treat.

    I have never been naked in public. I doubt it’ll ever happen, either.

    I don’t look in friend’s cupboards, but I’d happily look in a stranger’s cupboards. No sense of betrayal there.

    I haven’t seen Austin Powers or Game of Thrones, so I am clearly not your target market!

      See I always feel like you live Melbourne but maybe because the only time I ever see you is when you’re in Melbourne! 🙂

  7. Angela 11 years ago

    Ayyeeeeeeeeee Smagz! You know me(sorta), been lurking ever since we met way back when I was 14 and still blogging. I spread my comments out on Fb/Tw/insta nowadays and rarely comment here anymore so I still feel bit lurkly
    1. Angela
    2. Melbourne
    3. Really grain-ful toast with avo, chilli, jamon and sous vide eggs (or just muesli LOL)
    4. Not yet….
    5. I have
    6. Never watched either :S

    Birthday drink on me this weekend! So …
    1. Nikki
    2. Queensland’s Sunshine Coast
    3. Poached eggs
    4. Yes, much to my horror as the child of a hippy parents who insisted on taking us to nudist beaches. I hated it.
    5. Of course.
    6. Never Goffrey. Never.

    3. What’s your favourite breakfast food? eggs of all sorts. and potatoes

    4. Have you ever been naked in public? outside yes, in public not completely

    5. Do you look in your friend’s bathroom cupboards when you go in there to pee? often but not all the time

    6. Would you rather have sex with Fat Bastard from Austin Powers or Goffrey from Game of Thrones? niether? but Goffery I guess if I someone was holding a gun to my head.

    Also, I miss the creative insults in Australia.

      Smaggle 11 years ago

      It really is the best thing about Australia, the insults. I have a few ex-Melbourne now Canada readers. Cool!

  10. Harlow 11 years ago

    This means I’ve been reading for 4-5 years now, and I don’t think I’ve missed a post since I started – even when I’m travelling I just sit down and binge read Smaggle to catch up hehe. You’re like this crazy awesome aunty that lives in a commune and cooks gluten free! Btw speaking of things gluten free, have you tried Wallaby Bites?

    Anyhoo, since we are already acquainted:
    1) Harlow
    2) Moscow, Russia
    3) Breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of the day…I love all of it…fruit platters…Vegemite on toast…bacon and eggs….pancakes with lots of ice cream and strawberries….*Homer Simpson face*
    4)Not yet..
    5)Yes…and then I feel sad because I’m not cool enough to have a cupboard full of Lush and Body Shop things 🙁
    6)Hmm….death by being absorbed by Fat Bastards fat…or doing time in jail for child molestation…because Goffrey is like what, 10?

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Oh you’re gorgeous! You HAVE been reading for ages, I love it. And yes, I have had Wallaby bites! TO DIE!

  11. Rachel Pierce 11 years ago

    1. My name is Rachel. I’ve commented a few times before, but I still feel like a lurker sometimes.
    2. I’m from San Francsico/Chicago/New York/Washington DC. Oh, do you mean where do I live? Los Angeles. And those are just the places I liked living in.
    3. I don’t know that I have a favorite per-se. I just rotate through a handful of different things. Most recently Penut butter and jelly on toasted English Muffin.
    4. I’ve been skinny dipping a few times, once in the ocean, and in a friend’s hot tub. I don’t think either of those are technically public, but they are around people who I’m not in a romantic relationship with, so that’s somewhat public in and of itself. Goodness, I’m putting this on the internet.
    5. Of course. You never know when you’re going to need band aids or tampons, and I like to know where they are before I do.
    6. I suppose Goffrey.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      I’m the same! It’s just good pre-planning to sticky beak in someones drawers.

  12. Bek 11 years ago

    I lurk all the time and never comment….so I’m commenting now! Congrats on 6 years Smaggle – you are totally the highlight of my inbox.

    1. What’s your name? BEK!

    2. Where are you from? Sydney

    3. What’s your favourite breakfast food? Bacon

    4. Have you ever been naked in public? Yes. Accidentally. Long story.

    5. Do you look in your friend’s bathroom cupboards when you go in there to pee? No! I only just learned this was a thing and it disturbed me greatly because I bulk-buy pregnancy tests due to the fact that every time I get PMS I freak out that I’m pregnant and have to reassure myself. So I would seem weird.

    6. Would you rather have sex with Fat Bastard from Austin Powers or Goffrey from Game of Thrones? Fat Bastard.

      How have you only heard this is a thing? It’s awesome. I do it all the time.

  13. Lejla 11 years ago

    I never comment, but rules are to be broken….
    My name is Lejla and I am from Bosnia, but live in Melbourne in the past 14 years. My favorite breakfast is anything someone else prepares for me. However, I am very keen on sourdough and crushed avocade with feta.
    I have been naked on the beaches in Croatia. The nudist movement was very strong back in 80’…
    Inalways have a peak in someone’s else’s bathrooms, bedrooms if given a chance… Curiosity is very powerful.
    And I wouldn’t have a sex with either of those two as I have some standards, but if you ask about Jon Snow…eeeh, that’s another story….

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Ha! Thanks for breaking your no comment rule. I think if I had sex with Jon Snow, I’d be too distracted by how beautiful he is.

  14. Tara 11 years ago

    1. Tara. I’m not a lurker.
    2. Originally Adelaide but Canberra for over 10 years now.
    3. The cinnamon toast with coconut butter at Urban Pantry in Manuka.
    4. Define public…
    5. No. I’m a big believer in privacy – i like mine and i respect other people’s.
    6. Celibacy forever. Or Tyrion. Or Jorah Mormont. Mmmmm, Game of Thrones sex…

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      CANBERRA REPRESENT!
      And Tyrion is mine. I’ve loved Peter DInklage since the Station Agent and he’s my boyfriend now.

  15. Beckster 11 years ago

    I only lurk sometimes…

    1. Beck
    2. Geelong – it’s a way better place to live than it’s given credit for (but I was dragged back here kicking and screaming)
    3. Almost anything from my fave cafes – it’s my fave meal to eat out
    4. Sort of. A friend (and some strangers) and I did a nude earth dance on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. We aimed to stay out of the prying eyes of the rest of the tour group
    5. Nope, not friend’s cupboards but maybe the cupboards of people I don’t know well… sometimes
    6. My mind shuts down when I contemplate either. Eric from True Blood would be a nice alternative. It’s so easy to get crushes on TV characters.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Nude earth dance??? Tell me more about THAT please.

      • Beckster 11 years ago

        Hahaha, it’s my mystical, beautiful explanation for what was really just dancing to the Peat Bog Faeries (the most amazing music to listen to while travelling the Scottish Highlands) in a circle on a stark, beautiful island while starkers.

  16. Bethanne 11 years ago

    Haha, I’ll de-lurk for this. 🙂
    1. Bethanne
    2. Maryland, now New Jersey (U.S.)
    3. quiche!
    4. yes. heyyyy, college!
    5. nope
    6. nunnery

    I’ve been reading for 3.5 years now. Love this site!

      Whoo hoo! Thanks for the de-lurk!

  17. Happy Six Years!

    I’m Sarah, from Sydney. My current favourite breakfast food is porridge with coconut milk and strawberries. I’ve been semi naked in public only when having babies, but that’s not really public anyway. I was a secret bathroom cupboard peeper, but have been reformed in recent years! Not a Game of Thrones watcher, but despite FB’s ‘dead sexy’ accent, I don’t think I could go there…

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Goffrey isn’t very nice either and he’s also a child so it was very hard question. 🙂

  18. Melissa MacGowan 11 years ago

    My name is Melissa and I live in Columbia, Missouri, USA. My go-to breakfast is two eggs over easy, hash browns, bacon, toast with butter and jelly and lots of coffee. I have probably been naked in public more often than your average person and I love to snoop…cupboards, drawers, the very back of the refrigerator. I like to discover secrets!

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      I’m SUCH a sticky beak and I can’t understand when other people aren’t!

  19. Amber-Rose Thomas 11 years ago

    That’s awesome-sauce!

    So! 1. I’m an Amber, 2. I’m from Winchester, England but live in Cardigan, Wales. 3. My favourite breakfast food is brioche. 4. Who hasn’t?! 5. Yup, and spritz their perfumes. I’m a bad friend. 6. Hard one! *snigger* I’d have to say Fat Bastard, because at least he doesn’t have a crossbow fetish.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Brioche is THE BEST. It’s my Christmas day breakfast.

  20. Keep Warm (Danielle) 11 years ago

    I’m Danielle ( http://www.keepwarm-daniellabella.blogspot.ca).
    I’m from the wild prairies of Canada. But I spent 9 months living in Melbourne last year and kept hoping I’d run into you somewhere. I’d live there again in a heartbeat.
    My favourite breakfast food is eggs benedict or huevos rancheros. Now I’m starving!
    Of course I’ve been naked in public. Nude beach in Spain and skinny dipping in England and various truth or dare games in Cyprus. It’s not ideal, but it’s true!
    I don’t look in the cupboards just for fun. If I need something, like toilet paper or a bandaid or something then yes. But generally I respect privacy.
    I guess it would have to be Goffery but only Fat Bastard is not nice to look at and he’s not a good person. Goffery is at least only one of those things?

  21. Steph 11 years ago

    Hello fellow Smagglets! My name is Steph. I’m from Canberra. My favourite breakfast food is avocado on toast. I’ve been naked in public when performing in some plays (Angels in America, M Butterfly and Pool (No Water).) I don’t look in people’s cupboards unless I need to get toilet paper or something. I’d choose Fat Bastard, no question. Far less likely to end up riddled with arrows.
    Happy 6th birthday my love! Xxx

    My name is Annie

    I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

    I’m currently on a hard-boiled egg and avocado kick

    I had a near-catastrophic almost run-in with security at State Farm’s corporate headquarters one pleasant summer night in college while indulging a skinny-dip there with some friends. They have a seriously nice pool

    Perhaps

    Propose a threesome, get them both really drunk, then leave the scene.

  23. April Baum 11 years ago

    1. April. 2. From Ohio, just returned from a long stint in Korea, and living in Arizona. 3. SCONES. 4. At a Korean public bath house… where a mom hired me – in the nude, while generously washing the hard-to-reach part of my back – to give her kindergarten-age daughter and nephew private English lessons. 5. Dear god.

    I comment semi regularly anyways… but Happy birthday Smaggle.

    I am Alisa. I am from Invercargill New Zealand. My favourite breakfast food is hmmm pancakes.. mmm pancakes.

    I have not been naked in public. Thankfully. I would be paying for far to many therapy bills if i had… lol

    No I don’t look in my friends bathroom cabinets. Other than my besties if I need something. Like I will grab a tampon or mascara or lippy etc i need it. She will do the same to me. We share..

    Can I pick neither? Goffrey is like 5. And fat bastard is bound to have fried chicken hidden on his naked body somewhere… lol….

  25. eloquentlyellen 11 years ago

    Hi I’m Ellen and I live in Tasmania. My fave breakfast food is always anything with egg in it, and preferably available all day. Never been naked in public, yet, but had the obligatory nightmare about it. I prefer looking in kitchen cupboards, condiments can tell a lot about a person! And instead of the last question I am going to tell you the best insult I have heard this past week courtesy of my 12 year old bro “You X chromosomal shit”.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      AH! New favourite insult.

  26. Cazza 11 years ago

    OK then… Caroline and I live in Canberra. Eggs and bacon all the way. Never naked in public. Try not to look but sometimes do anyway… and I refuse to make a decision on the last…

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Canberra represent! Heaps of people refused to answer the last question… perhaps I finally went too far?

  27. Marieka 11 years ago

    Delurking! I think that I might have initially clicked over from a link on Yes and Yes, but I’m not sure, and I’ve been combing through your archives for your fashion-related posts ever since!

    Here goes:

    1. Marieka
    2. San Francisco
    3. Odwalla juice and whole-wheat bagel with butter
    4. Nope!
    5. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t know who Goffrey was because I don’t watch Game of Thrones, but I can’t say him because he’s apparently a horrid character and he’s underage to boot. I guess that I’d have to say Fat Bastard, even though the thought of him asking Felicity Shagwell if she wanted some chicken made my stomach turn.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Bagels. Something Australian’s never quite mastered.

  28. Marieka 11 years ago

    Ooops, skipped one question. Checking out people’s medicine cabinets: I don’t think so, or I don’t remember doing so. 🙂

  29. Erika 11 years ago

    Erika from Canberra (true, born in the old hospital at Acton peninsula far too long ago)
    Porridge. Proper soaked overnight stuff.
    How public is public? Naked in front of a photographer – yes. Almost naked (lace g-string body suit to show off tattoos) in front of a heap of art students – yes.

    5. Nope. Unless they’ve asked me to find something for them.
    6. Absolutely no idea, not having watched either.

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Oh a Canberran! I always get a little rush when people say they’re from Canberra.

  30. Liz @ I Spy Plum Pie 11 years ago

    Congrats on 6 years, how impressive!
    1) I’m Liz, I guess that’s obvious from my name!
    2) I was born in NZ but moved to Melbourne when I was a toddler. Have spent a few stints elsewhere but call Melbourne home at the moment (Collingwood to be exact!)
    3) Oh man, I love breakfast so much. Currently I’m eating homemade granola with coyo & berries but on the weekends I’m a sucker for anything at a cafe (well, anything vegetarian!)
    4) Not completely naked, but I did burlesque for a couple of years so y’know that gets down to not a whole lot at time
    5) I prefer looking in kitchen cupboards than bathroom ones
    6) Ugh, I just can’t even contemplate any of that!

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      Oh a kitchen cupboard peeper? That’s risky! And we’re neighbours! I’m Fitzroy gal!

  31. Maddison 11 years ago

    Yay! Six years is amazing! I’ve been reading for 4.5 of them 🙂

    1) I’m Maddison
    2) I live in Melbourne, and originally hail from regional Victoria.
    3) Basic hot buttered toast. Mmmm. Or muesli with yoghurt.
    4) I once was very close to naked in the rain at a party. I was still wearing knickers, but nothing else. Scandalous, I know.
    5) It depends who it is! I would never just begin exploring through the cupboards of someone I haven’t known long. But I may sneak a peek from time to time if it’s someone I’m relatively good friends with. Just for interest: what brand of toothpaste do they use? What sort of hairbrush? It’s endlessly fascinating ha.
    6) No. Just…no.

  32. Maddi Higgs 11 years ago

    My name is maddi, clearly!
    I’m from Hobart, Tasmania, but I’d rather be pretty much anywhere else.
    My favourite breakfast food is either pancakes cooked in coconut oil with strawberries and maple syrup, or Greek yoghurt with strawberries, oats, coconut flakes, and passion fruit. Can you tell I love strawberries?!
    I’ve never been naked in public but I’m only 15 so plenty of time yet 🙂
    Guilty! I’m a total spy/need to know everything about everyone person so yeah…sorry friends!!
    Neither? Haha but if I had to pick a (non gross) fictional character I’d choose Wren from Pretty Little Liars, duh!

    • Author
      Smaggle 11 years ago

      You know who I wouldn’t choose? Toby. What a creeper.

  33. Natalie Mulford 11 years ago

    Fun fact, my ipad now fills in douchecanoe for me when I start writing it. I get to douch… and it pops up douchecanoe. WIN!

    My name is Natalie and I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. I spend 3ish years living in Adelaide before moving back to Sydney and currently live in Penrith in a granny flat at my parents.

    My favourite brekkie food would be one of those big breakfasts, you know, bacon, eggs (scrambled or poached) mushrooms, tomato, avocado. But you’ll often find me eating a slice of banana bread!

    No, i’ve never been naked in public, but its not something I would rule out, depending on the situation.

    I can’t say that I have ever sticky-beaked through friends cupboards, but maybe I should now you’ve mentioned it!

    I’d rather live a life of celibacy.
    Also *throws glitter* HAPPPPY BLOGOVERSARY!! (And no, i’m not cleaning that glitter up)

    Favourite breakfast food = fresh, flaky croissants (ideally in France) with strawberry jam.

    I haven’t ever been naked in public. I don’t look inside my friends’ bathroom cupboards, but I do examine things that are left out (on shelves, etc) in detail.

    Ick. Joffrey? Because he’s close to my age? I dunno.

    Love you! http://www.clairebonello.com

    Well I’m not a complete lurker, as I’ve answered some of your questions/posted comments before, but I cannot resist a good survey, nor references to some of my favorite movies!

    I live in New York (the state, not the city). I love breakfast! My favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs, bacon, some sort of potato and either toast or pancakes, preferably eaten at some greasy diner with good coffee. The closest I’ve been to naked in public is performing as ‘The Moaner’ in lingerie during a performance of ‘The Vagina Monologues.’ I have looked in friends cabinets, but not every time. I think I would rather die than have sex with either man. Can I choose Tyrion instead?

      A New Yorker!!! You win all the things from that alone.

      And no you can’t have Tyrion because he’s my boyfriend. 🙂

    De-Lurking, stand by
    Name: Maud or Maudie

    Fave breakfast food: Scrambled eggs, shrooms and spinach
    Nude in Public: Nope, but I’ve been in a film in my undies? Not sure if that counts.
    Cupboards: No because a lot of people keep medications in there and that ain’t none of my business
    Fat Bastard or Joffrey: Joffrey. I have no idea why but Id rather be beaten to death by a prostitute than bang Fat Bastard.

      I always in cupboards but I’ve never found anything that I shouldn’t know about but I’m now I’m scared! You’ve added a whole different element to my bathroom snooping.

    Okay, here goes! My name is Emma, I’m from Melbourne and live in Brunswick at the mo. I once saw you at Little Creatures but you looked engrossed in your work and I was too shy to say hello.
    Fave brekky food is probably porridge with shitloads of toppings, like nuts, brown sugar, fruit, yoghurt.
    Haven’t been totally naked in public but I do love a bit of topless sunbaking when the moment is right.
    I look in friend’s bathroom cupboards, and any other cupboards and drawers that I can easily rifle through. I love other people’s weird-ass habits and secrets.

    Aloha! I’m Megan and I’m from Hawaii but, I’m a sailor and I’m actually on a ship in the middle of the Pacific as we speak. I’d have to say I’m always down for Eggs Bennie. Naked in Public not so much – maybe some skinny dipping in highschool…
    I’m always ready to peek in cabinets, I’m just assuming everyone looks in mine too. If this is a do or die question I say Game of Thrones but just ew.

    I’m late, but I wanted to say congratulations!

  43. Nessbow 11 years ago

    Congratulations on your 6th blogiversary! Although I comment here fairly regularly (and we’ve met in the offline world) I’ll still fill out your quiz!
    I’v Vanessa, and I live in Benalla, a tiny country town in Victoria. My favourite breakfast food is McDonalds Sausage and Egg McMuffin. I’ve never been naked in public but I did once walk down Bourke Street with my skirt tucked into my g-string, so that kind of counts.

    I don’t peek in my friends bathroom cupboards, but I have been known to spend ages rifling through their bookshelves.

    I’d rather sleep with Joffrey. I figure if I’m close enough to sleep with him, I’m close enough to smother him to death with my thighs.

  44. Kayla 11 years ago

    alright, not sure if this counts, cause i’m pretty sure i’ve commented a few times, but here goes.
    im Kayla, from Boulder Colorado! 🙂
    my favorite breakfast food has to be Kamut pancakes with candied ginger, pecans, and dried cranberries NOM!
    not sure if ive successfully been completely naked… maybe in a sauna at a spa, but there was definitely a lot of topless bathing when i lived in France in high school 🙂
    I tend to be a lurker cause I like figuring people out by what they choose to buy and have around and their habits and stuff. not sure about the bathroom tho. i tend to look around peoples kitchens more. 😛
    i think i’d choose Joffrey, only cause i’ve got some martial arts training so i’d know how to kick his ass!

    oh, and just so you know, your Why Don’t You posts are the BEST pickmeups on a day when im kinda in a funk or overstressed cause of school.
    cheers!

    I’ll weigh in because I’ve been lurking for awhile and I’ve really enjoyed your blog.
    Nic, born in Vancouver, live in St Kilda, VIC.
    I love my grandmother’s thin Finnish pancakes which are my ultimate favourite breakfast food.
    I have often been naked in public. It’s liberating!
    I wouldn’t snoop because I’d hate it if they did that to me.
    I don’t know which character Joffrey is and Hells to the NO re: Fat Bastard.
