First Timer- Tomas

Hi!

Im Tomas Glee. The general rule with these things is to introduce yourself, so i thought i would tell you a couple of things about me.

I still live with my parents but it doesn't bother me cause it's heaps of fun. See my parents work for this big lawyers firm that has lots of international buisness clients and contacts. Their job is to go around and liaise with all the clients, working out problems for them, usually spending a couple of months with each person. They're sorta like the face of the business. They love what they do, so we move around a lot. I think the longest i've ever stayed in a city was 6 months. We've been doing it since i was 10 so i'm used to it now.

I have an older sister, but she decided that she didn't like the lifestyle, so she opted to go to boarding school when she entered high school. She's in her 2nd year of Uni now and lives with her boyfriend. We see them rarely, but Mum and Dad usually pay for her to come out to where ever we are for christmas.

At the moment we're in London. We were in Paris last month and Frankfurt 4 months before that. I think my favourite place though has to be New York. We were there 2 years ago, and it was just had this city vibe that made me feel at home.

I love meeting new people, i can talk to them untill i'm blue in the face. I'm pretty friendly and out going. Cause of my travels I have so many contacts around the world. Thank god for facebook, makes it heaps easier to keep in touch.

Work wise I don't do a lot. I work for my parents, just helping them out with organising things. Kinda like a persoanl assistant. I book the travel, hotels, restraunts, all that stuff. I'm pretty good at it and it gives me heaps of time to do my own thing. I guess one day i will have to settle down somehwere. But for the moment I'm happy doing what I do.
I do miss Australia sometimes. We actually own a house there, but about 95% of the year its empty. My parents employ a cleaner/gardner to come once a month and make sure the house is kept in good condition, but apart from that no-ones there.

Well i might leave it at that for the moment, there's plenty more i could say but i'll save it for another time.

ciao

First post- Richard

Well I'm the first one to post here.

I dont really know where to start...hmmm.

I guess i should tell you a little about myself.

My name is Richard Summers.

I'm 18, recently moved to Canberra from country NSW where my rents live and live with my Aunt and Uncle. I start Uni next year, hoping to study Psychology and Buisness at the ANU.

I would describe myself as an allrounder i guess. Allrounder looks, smarts and personality.

I have some close friends, but don't really socialise with outside people a lot. I'm not the extroverted type.

Things I like- Autumn leaves, neck ties, lonely planet travel books and the smell after it rains.

Things I dislike- Large crowds, bubblewrap, spring pollen and white choclate

What I want to achieve: I'm not really sure. Get my degree I guess, and then get a job. Maybe work for the government.

Well i guess thats all i can really think of for now. I'll think of something and post again in a couple of days
