Life's too short for so much sorrow.

You do seem to like Sydney a lot? It really is beautiful here I wish I would have visited this place when I still had my sight. 

I agree, you are who you are but you always change. You grow and become mature, good and bad times form you. Basically you never stay the same. The basics might stay to a certain point. I am glad to hear that you are happy with yourself now.

No I meant on time as in - you can count on them-. I was in Spain a few times and when I told someone they should come tomorrow they would come the next week instead. Things took ages to be fixed and you needed so much patient for everything because they would never be on time or do as you told them to. Canberra has mountains? I think I love this place already, it sounds amazing.

Where in America would you like to go?

[tillie-brooks]

It is a shame, but don't worry, you'll be able to see it, in all it's glory, when that lovely doctor fixes your sight for you.

Exactly, and if you find yourself turning into something you don't like, or heading in a direction you'd rather not, you just need to take a step back and work it all out, put yourself on the right track. I think some people don't realise that - that we have more control over out lives than we think we do. I know I didn't when I was younger, and trying to 'find myself' helped me understand it.

Ahhhh, yes, that I can understand. It's been said that we're a reliable bunch, us Australian's, all to do with our 'mateship' complex. Then again, we are also said to be quite lazy and laid back, but we do like to get things done. 

Yeah, Canberra has a nature park full of them, and then there is Mt. Ainslie closer to the city. The mountains for snow though, are a couple of hours from Canberra itself.

Oh god, I don't even know, really. I just like the idea of going there; of visiting the grand canyon, the statue of liberty, the hollywood walk of fame, all the touristy things. Though I would like to go to New Orleans and learning the history of witchcraft and voodoo that it's apparently steeped in.

Awesome. Concierge break out, that should be on my resume. ‘Skilled at breaking out concierges’. Where do you want to go than? We can — there’s a neat bar a few blocks away… Or if you’re not into that kind of stuff, we can check out the theater.

[tillie-brooks]

I'm sure that once word gets out about your skill set you'll be inundated with job offers. But first, to test it. I - you know, I think I've only been to the theatre once in my entire life, and that was on a school excursion. I dare say it's time I went again. Or we could do both.

I love curly fries

[melanietonkin]

See, that’s a really good way of going about it. I know they ask for money and stuff, and I know some people refuse to do so because they spend it on booze and cigarettes but this way, you’re ensuring they’re fed. Right? And still have enough money to ride the bus home, haha. Really? Matilda makes me think of the movie, and I loved that movie. I do, I’m the creche manager. How about you?

[tillie-brooks]

Exactly! It's like the company in Queensland, I think it is, that take donations for the homeless, but instead of giving them the cash, they buy them camper swags and all other types of equipment to ensure they are looked after whilst on the street. It's much more satisfying than wondering where the money you give them is going to go. But oh my god, yes, I loved the movie, and the book when I was little - ironically, it was my grandmother who introduced it to me. Haha. Ahh, so you're the one in charge of the little critters. Is it much of a handful? I work concierge.

I love curly fries

[melanietonkin]

Yeah, exactly. I’ve never thought of doing that, but I should definitely start. I mean, most of those places have like dollar menus and the sort now too, so why not? It’s nice to meet you as well Tillie, that’s an interesting name!

[tillie-brooks]

I mean, I'm going there anyway so it's not really a hassle. That and they're going to watch me come out with food and I guess I just feel somewhat guilty, and yeah - you can make pretty much whole meals out of the dollar menu. But thanks, I was named after my grandmother, she was Matilda, Tillie for short. So, do you work here, or are you a guest?

[melanietonkin]

I love curly fries

[melanietonkin]

That’s true, they do and when the homeless are just silent and sitting there, I feel bad and when they’re begging for money, I feel awkward…it’s just…it’s a real shame that it happens, but what can you do? Haha why thank you, I like you too! I’m Melanie, by the way.

[tillie-brooks]

Exactly, there isn't really much that can be done, especially when some, not all, are there by choice. Still, If I'm going to macca's or KFC or wherever and I cross paths with someone I'll buy them a meal, it's not much, but you know. It's nice to meet you, Melanie, I'm Tillie.

[elliot-robinson]

Hey, I’m up for almost anything. Though, I must say I’m a little shy of the whole swimming with the sharks thing. So sure, in between.

[tillie-brooks]

Well in that case, I may have some ideas. You could spend a night out on the town, or if not, there's always the theatre, or Luna Park which is just as much fun in the evening as it is during the day.

[melanietonkin]

I love curly fries

[melanietonkin]

I would have offered anyways. Do people really say that to you? Wow, I’d like to see how they’d react to being homeless and people telling them that…not to say that you’re homeless, but you know what I mean…I really wouldn’t, help yourself.

[tillie-brooks]

A lot of people have a lot of choice things to say to anyone who interrupts what they are doing, the homeless mainly get ignored though, which I don't know if that's worse or not. But yeah, I know what you mean, and thanks, I like you. Ha.
