Letter to The Age 24/2/06

Teehee look at this letter my lovely friend Bec Rowe wrote...

Thank goodness we won't be embarrassed

WELL, I for one am so relieved to hear that, due to the new Victoria Police and State Government policy, there will be no "distressed" homeless people on our streets during the Commonwealth Games. I would be so worried if all the important international visitors thought that our homeless people were distressed about their living situations. How embarrassing that would be for our city!

And thank goodness for the 24-hour number that will direct homeless people to shelter. They can just whip out their latest model mobile phones, dial the number, and be hidden from sight in no time. Now, that's a load off my mind.
Rebecca Rowe, Thornbury

I'll refrain from quoting a little quip about something other being the lowest form of humour... hehe. Go you little sarcastic good thing, Miss Rowe!

woohoo!! i'm on your blog! the letter was kinda in response to an article from the day before... so it might not make too much sense to people if they didn't see the article. Anyway, i banged it out in about 5 minutes, before i went and taught a class! I was SO angry! I just clicked send but didn't really think they'd publish it! what an angsty, sarcastic little wench!! miss you taylaaah. xox

haha yes you are angsty. i've heard about this whole ker-azy putting-homeless-chaps-up-in-a-motel-for-the-duration-of-the-games caper, but a hotline?? that's news to me - what the heck's going on?

speaking of what the heck's going on, when are you planning on updating your blog, young lady? i'm a bit sick of the whole esteban post!

i miss you too! just went out for dinner by myself (i actually LIKE doing that!) and ate weird czech food. damn weird czechs. oh well.
