Is anyone on here from Australia? Or is it just me? I feel so disconnected. Everything I find is in America…
I decided to colour my hair the other day, to try to get me out of this funk I’m in. It’s worked before. I’m naturally blonde, so you can imagine all the jokes I copped at school. I usually dye my hair black. It’s longer now, since I can’t afford a haircut, so it’s growing out. So I bleached it…
You can imagine the outcome… yellow ends, orange middle & white roots. My best friend (whom i live with) stared at me in horror & couldnt hold in her laughter. So much for support…
I felt so bad, so embarrassed. I tried to tone it, researching everything to try & get it at least a less vibrant colour. No luck. My hair stayed yellow on tge ends, turned silver in the middle & purple on the roots. Again, laughter ensued. Not just from my best friend, but from her family as well!!!
So next day I thought, fu*k it, & put bright purple dye over my whole head. I didnt have enough, so I put raspberry on some strips at the front & all over the ends, blending it together.
Now I think it looks cool, not a solid purple, but I dont like solid hair colour. I’m finally feeling pretty good. Then my best friend sees me… she stares & laughs & asks me what was I thinking? It isn’t even! There’s patches here, different colour there… I said I wanted it like that. I planned it (even though I didn’t). And then all the teasing starts. I got it from her, from her boyfriend & from her 8yr old son. The only one who isn’t teasing me is her 7yr old daughter. She thinks its lovely since her fav colour is purple.
This is all I’ve ever gotten in life. I have been teased non-stop since I was a chold, & I am 31 now. This is all I am to people – a verbal punching bag to make them feel better & I am tired of it.

There are a couple people from Australia. Hjerteblomst and lonelyplatypus are from OZ. So is Annunaki I think.
Shephard and soulsister are New Zealanders.
A fine lot from the southwest Pacific.
I’m unfortunately a filthy American. Haha.

Cope said it first that i am from there lol
A filthy American with a bad internet connection apparently.
A finer lot of your countrymen and women you will not find.
You are not filthy
I am sorry that you get teased, they are not nice to do so. Worse part is the compounding effect of all that teasing i guess… Even your friend is teasing you… I thought friends were meant to be supportive… I am from Australia …
You ready to see your Wallabies get wrecked at Bledisoe II tonight? It was a draw last time, yeah, but y’all haven’t won at Eden Park since the ’80’s.
But yeah, why don’t you go with lilac? I reckon that’d work for you. I remember I shaved my own hair once (Mandika, like Mr. T) and sure, people laughed, but it’s better than the yee-yee ass do’s they were sporting.
Good to see another Skippy on here, and hey…enjoy your evening (even if your boys get a hiding, and if they don’t and somehow manage to whup the bro’s…ugh).
Skippy is a male
…kangaroos in general, you get what I mean. It’s either that or one of my more colourful names for you Diggers. But no, I love y’all too much to dis’, so I’ll stick with Skippy or what ugh fuck it I’ll pop some pills and drink another bottle.
I am worried but i understand..
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pills, that might do anything. I know I have some itchies, but that likely won’t do much so i’ll just have to stick with smashing down this bottle of vodka.
Cheers by the way.
Yeah, I have a bottle of gin in the refrigerator that’s looking mighty friendly right now.
Take it out and join the party Cope.
Okay…cheers good sir.
Haha…the tonic I have expired in June of 2013. It’s still sealed. Shows you how little I drink.
I don’t drink as much as I used to either, which is sad because i’m not even at legal drinking age. But, I digress. Cheers, Cope. *clink* *clink*
I thought legal drinking age was when you were supposed to stop drinking. The few years before that, it’s like an Olympic event!
When you get my age (well, I’m not really that old I suppose though everyone guesses me far older than I actually am), it just doesn’t have the same appeal.
The tonic is flat so I added more lime juice, which is also expired but not as bad… Haha…
That’s true. Lime juice eh? Doesn’t sound too bad.
Well, basically with gin and so much lime it’s kind of a gimlet, but I’d using the tonic and thinning it a bit. Works..
Mmmm. Have to try that sometime.
They have kookaburras here
Yeah, but we’re all a bunch of kooks so that might not be specific enough.
alot of suicidal people are intelligent and do not fit into this world. Because this world is shit
I wish it wouldn’t wipe itself all over us. Damn world… What was it you said about me not being filthy? Haha…
lol
You are so right, HB. It is very hard for intelligent people to fit into a shit world like this, almost impossible.
I haven’t found many in Australia to be nice but the Australians on this website are nice. Very kind…
Ha, kateralia made a post and it turned into a drinking party… 🙂
Lmao! Sorry kat, you’re welcome to join if you want.
I am from OZ, but will be gone soon.
Welcome to the SP! It is a very nice place with many supportive people.
You will be a spectral platypus soon, maybe… I think you wanted to be a skull. Keep hugging it 🙂
O.M.G… all I can do is giggle at your banter. Thanx guys! My internet is so shit & im looking at this on a tablet, so it’s hard updating, plus I got distracted looking up stuff. Cheers!
Cheers as well.
We may be dead inside but there is still a little bit of life left in us.
Cheers
Plus, it’s not everyday you get to talk to a platypus. Platypeople are some of the best people.
yep 🙂
🙂
PS: I am from NSW, but if I survive (unlikely) I would like to move to QLD.
Nothing up here lol but never mind me. It wouldn’t matter where i lived, life is still meaningless to me
To me too, but maybe in the middle of nature completely away from civilization it is slightly better? That’s what I envisioned… But I won’t survive to do this.
Then if you move out there you may not have to put up with Christmas. I don’t know
Well, yes, it is certainly possible because Christmas is not celebrated in the middle of nowhere!
I’m from Sydney, I love this city but I hate it at the same time.
When I go to Sydney on a day trip I always love it and hate it at the same time too.
Tell your friend to get fucked! Your hair sounds pretty cool to me, out of the ordinary and unique. I like it when things aren’t even or in place.
Fancy still teasing people when you’re around 30 years old.
I’m from NZ if that helps (probably makes shit worse)
I’m an Aussie. From QLD.
I’m an Aussie. From QLD.
Annunnaki – I agree with you, I visited Sydney a few years ago & loved & hated it at the same time. I can’t tell her to get fucked, or else I’d be homeless.
Pondersaurus – I’m from QLD too!
And i am from QLD
A lot of Maroons on the site; me likey.
Anyone from Port Douglas? That’s where I would probably like to move in the unlikely event that I survive.
i live in cairns
i am broke though so i cant help
I was on holiday in Cairns last year in November and loved it too. I stayed at the Travellers Oasis (in a single room of course).
the weather here is nice, and it doesnt usually get too cold in winter
I know. That’s why I would like to move up there. I get really sick when it is cold and I love warm weather. However I will probably be dead soon anyway.
