Yes, the music is my favourite thing about this NING site - wish we could do the same kind of thing on Facebook!! :-)
Boys are well and growing tall. It's a bit wintry here in Brisbane at the moment - means I can look forward to summer…"

About Me

Born in Kenya, raised in Australia. I am a Subject of the Sultan of Zanzibar, a British subject, a naturalised Australian Citizen and I have two Kiwi/Aussie children... but I don't think I have a valid passport just at the moment.

My Interests

English literature, history, education, music, dance...

Employment or Career

I am gradually working towards my BA, majoring in History and English literature as an on-and-off part-time student. In the past I have been employed in the following jobs: fruit shop assistant, waitress, Arnotts Biscuits factory worker (biscuits = cookies), Hoyts candy bar attendant, legal secretary, McDonalds front-counter (are you impressed?), student nurse, nurses aide, customer service at St George Bank: loans and enquiries, motel house-maid, cocktail waitress, house-cleaner (for Dial-an-Angel), Telecom NZ faults centre officer, bookkeeper, and self-employed office manager for high-rise window-cleaning business (the latter for about 13 years.) I resigned from my full-time job in administration at the University of Queensland to study and complete my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Literature and History.

Music I Like

Piano, guitar, clarinet, trumpet... I mean, I like to hear other people playing them - solo, as accompaniment, in orchestras, and bands. I like music.

Books I Like

I love to read! Recently I've read several "Postmodern" novels for a literature course. I enjoy novels by Jane Austen, George Orwell, Charles Dickens, PD James, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jonathan Swift, Gerald Durrell, John Steinbeck, Rosemary Sutcliffe, E Nesbit and many others. I like reading the poems of writers like Rudyard Kipling, AB Peterson, Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Henry Lawson, John Donne, Robert Frost, Mo Wilkinson (she's my mum!) And I like books that help me to spring-clean the brain cells: - The Peter Principle (Laurence and Hull) - The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements (Hoffer) - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Pirsig) - Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior (Brafman and Brafman) - The Language of God (Collins) - In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed (Honore) - Dumbing Down: Outcomes-based and politically correct – the impact of the Culture Wars on our schools (Donnelly) - Endangered Minds (Healey) - The Tipping Point (Gladwell) - Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say (Rushkoff) - Boys Adrift: the Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men (Sax) - A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-First Century (Van DeMille) - Eve’s Bite (Wishart)

Television I like

Crime investigation, British comedies - don't watch it very much - so I even find the adverts interesting!

Movies I like

The Mission, Out of Africa, The God's Must Be Crazy, The Constant Gardener, The Devil Wears Prada, Gone With The Wind, The Bourne Identity, The Sound of Music, Brave Heart, Spy Game, Finding Nemo, The Insider, Pulp Fiction, Along Came Polly, Love Actually, The Full Monty, Cool Runnings and all the rest! :-)

Sports Teams I like

Yeronga Devils, Brisbane Lions, the Kenyan Olympic team and the Kenya national rugby union sevens team.

Sarah; I'm just reading your site here..you sound so sweet and smart. I like your book list...I love stuff about DNA so I think I'll see if I can find that one. Dumbing down..slowness...I love it! LOL. I'd like to know if you have a book you'd like to own that I can scout for...I usually can find them :) Also, will you send one of your mum's poems (or part of one?) Debraannkline@cox.net if you can.
I just watched Out of Africa again...and again. How about the English Patient...and did you see the Shipping News?

Sarah,

Good to see you here. It's been a long time. I haven't the time to watch your videos right now, but we have a new holiday CD that has a song Six White Boomers that has had me thinking about Australia again. I'm also "chief manager and director of my children's education."

I misjudged the smallness of the NING embedded video. I think a better way of giving this video to new members is like this which makes it open in a new window. I'll send you the code.

Here is an instructional video made by NING which gives you plenty of tips on using this site as a new member.
