@jenwriter17 Update: I got two phone calls yesterday for two job interviews! One for after school tutoring and another for Kmart. Definitely a pleasant surprise after months of job-hunting and prayer, but also perfect timing as I start uni in a few weeks.

Wild Australian. INXJ.@dekreel Whoa, nice! I just checked it out and it looks great! I certainly look forward to reading more of your rambles. 🙂
Reminds me… I had a random blog on WordPress a few years ago which I completely abandoned to fight for my life in the great, mental cage fight known as school.
"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.@seekjustice Oof. That reminds me of when I lived on a sugar cane farm up around Cairns. It was an old, rickety, rural house that barely had radio signal and we’d swim in the creek nearby or stand right in front of the pedestal fan in our vain attempts to stay somewhat cool. Fortunately, I only had one sibling capable of getting in my way at the time.

Wild Australian. INXJ.@seekjustice Queenslander here, so we’re safe from the heatwave… for now. I’ve got a friend down in Canberra, so I’ve heard that it’s pretty rough there at the moment. I’ll certainly be praying for… well, most of Australia. I can’t even stay in my room during the day because my ceiling fan’s broken and it’s in the hottest part of the house.

Wild Australian. INXJ.@rochellaine Gotcha. An Australian version of Mary Poppins would be legendary, though. And I do indeed know of Ken Ham.
@seekjustice That is correct. P.L. Travers was born in Australia and moved to London to pursue writing.I’m currently writing, though I’m a little late. Got guests over, so it’s been a little on-and-off since I need to avoid being too antisocial.
"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.@rochellaine I know I’m just being nitpicky, but tECHNICALLy, “bloke” is a British word. I mean, it makes sense that our Australian slang originated in England: bloke, mate, chockablock, “bloody” before every second word, etc.
I just looked up some other slang and wow… I didn’t realise the word “dodgy” isn’t really a thing in America. Although, I hear “dodge” more often than “dodgy” because us cool kids in Straya have to shorten everything, including already-short words.
Anyway, that was a kinda useless tangent/mini-rant/2 cents from me… As you were.

Wild Australian. INXJ.@jenwriter17 Ooh, that sounds cool. Do you own a horse yourself? I’ve actually been getting back into photography lately. It’s always fun to experiment with different techniques.
I guess I’m most looking forward to the amount of freedom I’ll get in comparison to school. And as someone who struggled to make friends in the school system, I’m hoping I’ll fare better with those who have similar interests.
You’d be right about it looking like a MB type. The X simply means that it’s sorta undecided with that trait. Different tests show me as different types: generally INTJ or INFJ. 😛
"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.@seekjustice Hello! Your name seems pretty familiar, but it’s always a pleasure to see another of our kind on the interwebs. 😛
@rochellaine And that is very true. During my online life, I’ve found a lot of differences in my writing from most others. Stuff like the spelling of kerb and curb, then words that are completely different, like biscuits, scones, tomato sauce, etc. It was a hilarious situation when I brought up thongs before realising that they’re called flip-flops to basically everyone else.Hmmmmm. That’s a tough question. I’ve never been good with having favourites for anything. I’ve also loved all the Ancient Greek stuff like 500% of peeps, but I’m also fascinated by the history of the English language. The Battle of Hastings, the manuscript of Beowulf, the printing press and the King James Bible, etc.
@jenwriter17 Thank you. Glad to see that greeting hasn’t died yet. XD
Thanks for your prayers, by the way. And good luck with finishing school! Do you have any plans for university/college/the future?"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.@seekjustice As a fellow Aussie, I am a tad concerned to hear that you drive on the right side of the road.
"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.Well, I guess I’d appreciate some prayer towards getting employed. I’m gonna be spending a lot on commuting this year and sorta need an income.
"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.@dekreel Nah, it was very intentional. And yes, I know the feeling of compiling lists of people’s types. It’s a great feeling when your guesses prove to be correct.
@rochellaine Hi! Yeah, I noticed that it’s a lot quieter since I was last here.And yes, I am indeed. I happen to be one of those rare internet-dwelling Australians. XD
"Not all who wander are lost."
Wild Australian. INXJ.@emma-flournoy Hi! I remember you pretty well from my first time around here. Thanks. It’s certainly a relief to be out of that place. 🙂
@dekreel I think I may have seen you around, but my memory sucks in general. Yes, she is. My name isn’t actually Clara. It’s just one of the many random aliases I have online. It’s pretty hard to choose a favourite Doctor, but I always loved 10.I see you have an MBTI type in your signature… or at least the 16p version with the -T. I’m a sort of INXJ. INTJ-A according to 16p, but closer to INFJ by cognitive functions (which are a bit more accurate). Heh, I thought I was past my MBTI nerd phase, but it appears that some things are a little difficult to forget.

Wild Australian. INXJ.@clairec Yay! *celebrates with a plate of lamingtons*
*adjusts glasses and squints at your profile* A fellow Queenslander too? Niiice. I’m on the Gold Coast (but I was born a North Queenslander).
