SO. FUCKING. COLD.
It's just wrong that I am sitting here in a great big woolly jacket that's designed for, you know, outside. Winter has well and truly arrived in Sydney and I, for one, am not happy, but that's mostly because I'm living with psychotic nutcases who are ideologically opposed to the concept of indoor heating. I know it's punishment for being 21 and still living with my parents, when the majority of my friends are out on their own, but c'mon, I'm a poor, penniless student. Besides, I 've got a 26-year-old sister and a 29-year-old brother who also still live at home, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't have to go until they do.
Living rent-free ain't that great when you're living in a giant fridge though - my mother doesn't think there's anything weird about having to rug up like you're going on an expedition to the Arctic merely to get out of bed. My parents are from the 'why waste money on a slightly different version of something you can already get for free' school of thought - which is why neither of them will ever spend money on things like indoor heating, cable TV, bottled water or prostitutes.
Meanwhile, my numb fingers are about to fall off from all this typing/whining, so I'll shut up now.
