My Journeys to Work
I think my walk to work is pretty cool. so i would like to share the experience with you all.The walk involves alleys, historic houses and beautiful public gardens as well as your usual subburban streets extravaganza.
My journey often starts at 6.30am or a bit later if i'm running late. I walk down my street, which isn't particually exciting, except for my hot neighbours who i think stole my dads credit card which makes them less hot. they also play shitty music at their parties (which i haven't been invited to yet) - the only good song i've heard them play is a dance mix of Deceptacon by Le Tigre.
I walk past the building sites in my streets before the builders get there (which is a good thing as the builders there are really seedy. except one... who isn't too shabby)
Here is a picture from the top of my street. It's not very good, and you can't see any of the major landmarks such as the hot peoples house, my house or the bulding site. click it to make it big.
Then i walk for a bit, and end up in angus' street, but i only stay in there for about 20m. However in that short space, there is this awesome car.
it's a car made of beer!!! v.cool. speaking of cool cars... here is an uncool car that was in my street the other day. it's a VW van... but with a porsche sticker on it.
And on the other side of uncool. here is my future car... which i WILL own one day... but in the colour known as lime green.
Then comes the little alleyway. which was cool when i first started going down it, but now it's just another part of my journey.
Then I pop out and find myself in Bililla House or whatever it's called. Which is like this mega huge old house. I love walking through the gardens. Some mornings there are Baloons in the distance.
But the most exciting part of that leg of my journey is the giant talking tree. We don't have conversations, it just likes to talk to the other trees, who never seem to answer back.
After that I end up in Pollys old street. The first time i walked down it, i got mega confused because it twists and turns weirdly. But in order to take the shortest route, i almost get myself run over.
Then half way through Black St, there is this small stretch of pavement which, no matter what, i will always trip up on. even if i concentrate on trying not to trip.
The second alleyway i go down is scary. as the camera in it always watches me. ASIS are spying on me. i also have a theory that every door intercom thing i pass is watching me too.
After the creepy camera, i have to pass creepy nicholas' restaurant.
Then i'm in church st, which is the home stretch. Then i have to walk round to the back entrance, and i'm at work.
