Well its been a little while

Sorry guys, I know its been a while. I vowed not to touch this thing while Ive been doing exams and was afraid of what Mia might do to me if I broke that.

Also, I have been launching myself toward becoming the trendiest, coolest person around. Rather than just thinking about children, I got on board and did whats fashionable - I adopted an african child - a five year old boy. His parents both died of AIDS in Ghana when he was only a few weeks old, and he;s been living in an orphanage in pretty crappy conditions. I've named him Nokia. Me and Nokia are getting along great - he loves coming out and hitting bars with me late nights. You should see him down a milk shot. Yeah, there's been a few tussles with the paparazzi (damn paparazzi), oh and keep an eye out for me on an upcoming 'celebrities uncensored' where I yell a few 'effing this' and 'arse that's before exposing myself. After a period in rehab, I plan on adopting a little sister for Nokia from southeast Asia - she'll be called Boston.

Also, Nokia and I are appearing at the 'make poverty history' concert next week in Melbourne. I've been invited by Bono because I'm so influential in the circles of 20 something Sydneysiders. I can see where he's coming from - basically I'm not that different from the average 20-something; I'm socially involved, politically ambiguous, and culturally aware. i hang around cool bars, I drink Chai Latte's, I drink foreign Lagers. I wear all the right clothes, the right coloured wristbands (At the moment Pink Breast Cancer is out, so is Yellow Livestrong. Brown Movember, White MakePovertyHistory and Black Roadtoll are all in). Ive got a brsitling Mo, and I listen to the right music.

That's right, I'm cool. but whats makes me cooler is my love for other people. I don't just wear the gear - I raise the money, I raise the profile. I live the life. Coupled with my minor celebrity-ness and my adopted african child, I'm now taking my message to a global stage. Melbourne here I come.

Okay, I'm not a minor celebrity, and I havent adopted an African Child. Although I'd like to one day, I won;t be naming him Nokia. I will however be in Melbourne next week for the MakePovertyHistory day, and the u2 Conert. Hello to all my frinds from Melbourne. Make Poverty History People, get behind it and make your voice heard.

Oi. Now everyone is going to think I'm some big scary no-necked rugby-type chick, not the sweet, cute skirt wearing lady that I am.

Please people, dont be afraid of Mia. She's just a normal, pretty girl who looks out for her friends who are stupid enough to sit up half the night talking or blogging when they should be sleeping before exams!

Hey Mia (Waves)
She's right. She's not a no-neck rugby type. She's cute, and today she is even wearing a skirt. She's not sweet though. She just kicked me when she read that post

:P Nyeh nyeh. :P

But don't be afraid of her, she only seems to do it to me. She says it's cos she cares, but I think it's cos she enjoys having power over someone.

Anwyay what do you all think of the whole 'caring celebrity' thing going on these days. It was cool when Princess Di got behind landmine programs. I suppose it was still cool when Clooney, Pitt and Bono founded One. But its such a bandwagon thing now, with Madonna and Jolie 'rescuing' third world kids. Do you think these celebrities actually care about making a difference, or just like to be seen like they care?

I have to say Lucas, I don't think a lot of them actually care, they just want to be seen to care and hey, it's "good" publicity for them, right?

Outlaw man, we salute you!

Hey, now that you're a minor celebrity can I come round to your place and mooch off you? I'll uh take Nokia out and chuck a frisbee with im or something, if you letthe paparazzi shoot photos of me too.

Yeah man, I wish i could go to MPH with you. I hope peopel do find a way to make their voice hear, and maintain credibility without resorting to violence. It's time for a change. its time for revolution andits gotta come from the people. Write letters, write songs, get to the protests. start talking to your MP's about it. Not just letters, book a meeting and chat to them about it. If we all do it, weve all got a voice. They'll listen eventually. We can halve poverty. We can eradicate it. We can cut Carbon emissions. With faith like a mustard seed we can move a mountain. Well come on, lets try this out. God says feed the hungry, clothe the poort. Why the heck aren't we just doing it?
