[Lets play a game.
You choose how the story goes, leave some comments and I will incorporate YOUR radical ideas into the story...]
These were the first three from Raymond:
BUNS
RETORT STAND
AIRFORCE
Sun shining, birds chirping, an elegant swallow duck dives into the nearby raggedy tattered water fountain for a cool refreshment before the heat scorches the bitumen. A nearby toddler throws a tantrum as the mercury rises and the creases on the underside of her thigh accumulates sweat and chafs her pudgy legs, 'Momma I want some buns', she yells. 'Momma, ..I want some buns'! she stammers.
'Damn right you have a lovely rack of buns' sneers a man in a white lab coat, with a premature comb-over.
'You shut that filfhy mouth of yours young fella, or I'll shove that retort stand ..' He scurries off. P* looks at her teary eye companion, and straightens up. 'Cmon honey, let's cool you down'. She picks up her little friend, just as an airforce of metallic dragonflies whiz past her ear, FZZZZ, one snatches her elbow and a spritz of blood empties onto the bitumen. 'Oh, they're back' she mutters, picks up the toddler, and strides over to take cover. She takes cover behind a barber red and white twirl neon, hoping the rhythm of the twirl would distract the flies. A sturdy arm grabs her shoulder....

Dookie Breath
I had a conversation with my mate the other day about the scents people give off after they consume certain beverages. One intersting piece was coffee and dookie breath. I didn't believe them.
This morning I was on the train and I sat next to this lovely looking lady, she had a coffee in her hand. I shoved a dozen mints in my mouth and started to breathe heavily. Minty freshness overcomes neighbouring ladies scent.
Dookie breath indeed.

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. Hi my name is Julie. Whats yours?
2. I am old and I have braces that glow in the dark. Pretty Rad. But don’t be mean or I’ll land my G-trax in your arm.
3. Watching Spongebob makes me happy.
4. I don’t like suspense. My toaster scares me.
5. My sister calls me strange. I tell her to elaborate. She says I’m unusual.
6. I once caused a blackout in our hotel in Thailand. I was trying to leap from the top bunk to the other. My head hit the light and the whole place had candlelit showers that night. Exotic much?
7. I love nerds. With cardigans. And no lens dork glasses. Oh wait. That’s what I wore yesterday. Loser.
8. I am softly spoken. In year 2, the school thought I didn’t know how to speak the language so they sent me to ESL. I blitzed it. They just couldn’t hear me. :(
9. I did Food science and Technology, Innovation Management and Commerce in Uni. I am now an accountant. Super Rad!
10. I like to draw and paint. It rids my tendencies for mean words and angsty raps.
11. I sew. But it looks stupid.
12. Mum said we could choose 1 instrument to learn when we were kids. Allan chose piano, I chose the sax. Mum put me on the recorder. :( I can play ‘3 little sausages’ on G. Booya!
13. I remember people by a certain feature. My sister’s friends are “itchy skin girl”, “water-nose boy”, “echidna head boy” “big forehead girl”... I am so so terrible. I am “monkey mouth girl”
14. I like beer. a lot. and cheeseburgers.. mmmm cheeseburgers..
15. I was kicked by a bird behind the ear when I was younger. I now have a natural dodgy reflex to duck when I see a bird in my peripherals. Birds are farkin’ dirty. DIRTY. Fark.. they’re dirty!
16. Long drives are my annual highlights. It’s the great company and so I Thankyou, all of you.
17. I miss my big brother. He lives in Melbourne now. He used to tell me to eat.
18. Dookies, pellets and nuggets make me laugh real hard. But only if its animated. I am afraid of walking on grass.
19. The people I work with are mega rad. Totally not stereotype accountants. I try really hard to be cool, so then I’m rad enough to be their friends.
20. I cut my own hair sometimes.
21. My teeth really hurt right now. I am silently screaming inside while I eat these Dunkaroos. Sweet action Dunkaroos!
22. I could eat meegoreng all day! Indomie fer shizzles.
23. I secretly wish I could dance like a radical dance machine and battle all who questions my dancing abilities and break out in awesome krunk or the insane shuffle or some rad 80s dance moves. Or contemporary dance in a bar. Unfortunately I look like a feret when music controls my feet.
24. I get sucker punched into emotional stories. I get super excited when people share their stories with me. It’s a beautiful gift.
25. Thanks for having me. Peace. x

stuff
5 things.
1. Giraffes are rad. Visited Dubbo zoo a while back where giraffes would come right up to your face. They are elegant things I tell you. Divine lashes, dashing strong legs, and humble teeth. The ranger told us their legs were so powerful that they could knock out a tiger with just one smashing kick. Downfall is they would get headspins if they picked something off the ground because of their lanky long necks, albeit golden bronze mane.
2. My ultimate. Illustrations, graphics and fashion. It makes me happy.
3. I love beer. Unconditionally.

5. I am strange.

So the big brother is moving out of town and off to Melbourne.
So very devastated. Will miss him at home. He was my hero.
