... and members of TV cop shows came to investigate the crime scene?

This all came to me when watching Criminal Minds. In this particular episode, they are in a victim's apartment. There's the usual mess that you would have in your apartment. Reid comments, somewhat dryly, that the place has a 'lived in' feel to it. Hotch picks up a DVD and says "Looks like she spent most of her free time here". And I don't want Morgan going through my underwear drawer. I want to be wearing the underwear when he sees my underwear for the first time. Although upon saying that, I'm dead so I guess my chances with Morgan are out the window.

What if that particular day you were running late and you didn't have time to make your bed, you left your underwear on the floor and you didn't put the milk back in the fridge? Just thinking about what someone would say about all that makes me shudder! Can you imagine the lame remark that that guy from CSI: Miami would make about me just before the opening credits roll? "I guess the sour milk is the least of her problems now" or something equally 'cutting'.

I would be so mortified. My place right now is an absolute mess. Everything, and I mean everything, is lying around. And someone would make a snap judgement about the status of my mind based on that. Or what if I was killed the day after I did my big clean up? They might label me as an 'obsessively clean person'. Then they'd be going about it all wrong. All I'm saying is "Don't judge me!!"

I don't want Grissom checking for stains on my bed sheets. I don't want Goren standing on my table in order to sniff my air conditioning vent. I don't want Monk counting the number of black socks I own as opposed to the number of white socks.

But... who would you want investigating your fictional murder?

Hello all!

I'm here!! At the moment, I am sitting on my bed with a kitten on the end of it. I'm house sitting for my friend while she's away on her honeymoon. I'm about an hour from London but like a hundred years from my dream of living in Edinburgh. I've sort of hit a dead wall. Dead wall? Is that the phrase? Oh, dead end or brick wall. Hey, I just combined two phrases to make a whole new one, never mind. Um, so where was I? So I'm staying somewhere that isn't Edinburgh and so it is incredibly hard to search for a job or place to live there because I can't go in for an interview or see the place myself. I've been trawling the internet and it's so, so hard! Especially because I'm not going to be there until the 28th. I just want to have that all sorted out and then I'll be fine. BUT because I know it's going to be a while before I can sort it all out, I am currently living in a stressed out state. And I'm never stressed out, which is why I'm feeling so bad!!

Phew!

Needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for playing Dr. Phil for me

Travelling now seems like a distant but wonderful dream. I promised people that I would do blogs on each country I visited and I really will but I decided to save writing about it until I'm all settled with a job and am back in the grind of daily life so that I have something nice to look back on and write about.

And on a nice note to leave you with, here's one of my cute and cuddly charges while I'm house sitting

I thought everyone knew about this but after having a few people freak out on me, I thought I'd do a blog about it. This way everyone knows

It's official. I'm moving. From 17th June, I will no longer be an Aussie. I'm travelling around Europe for six weeks and then settling down, um, wherever. I really want to live in Scotland but I figure London will be easier. I'll be flying by the seat of my pants, I have no place of abode lined up for me there, no job, nothing.

So from now until the 17th, I won't be online very much. I just realised I'm going in less than a month and I've only got a few arrangements sorted out, so I need to be super organised and get everything done. My British passport still hasn't come through and I worked out that the six weeks they ask you to allow for it to come through, is two days after I go... I have been doing some serious prayer!!!!

Although upon saying that, as soon as I have lots of very important things that need to be done, I immediately start procrastinating, so I'm sure you'll see me around very, very often!!

I genuinely count you all as my friends, not people I call my 'internet friends', but my actual friends. And it might be a while until I see you again, but I shall return!
