I’ve just recently moved to Melbourne due to a job relocation, and although I love it here I don’t really know anyone, so I am offering my services for friendship, to anyone who has a gap to fill in their social circle!
A bit about me: I am a 30-year-old female Capricorn, and I enjoy the company of other women of pretty much any age. I’m aware that ‘30’ makes me seem frighteningly mature (to me), but I actually have managed to resist most trappings of ‘adultification.’ I rent a small but cute apartment, and I live alone, so I have no flatmates to contend with if I wish to allow friends to crash out on the couch! My politics are distinctly leftist, and I subscribe to a ‘sex-positive’ brand of feminism. I consider myself fun and easy to be around, a good listener, and a supportive and loyal friend. I live in the inner north-west of Melbourne, and although I don’t own a car, I am handy to the city, and to the suburbs of Collingwood, Fitzroy, Brunswick and Carlton. I have no issues with addiction or substance abuse, and have never been in trouble with the law (not so much as a parking fine here!).
What’s in it for you: I enjoy hosting friends in my own home, so I usually have wine on hand for visitors, and I enjoy cooking for others. I am a good cook, and I studied naturopathy for some time, so I can cater easily (and tastily!) for most dietary requirements. I have a large collection of books that I am very non-stuffy about lending out, and I generally prefer playing music to watching TV. I also have the entire ‘Sex and the City’ TV series on DVD, for repeated viewings at girly gatherings! I have a steady boyfriend who I love very much, so I will be unlikely to disrupt any ‘man dynamics’ on a night out. I love shopping for homewares in second-hand and retro furniture stores, and this is only equalled by my love for shopping for make-up! I am emotionally low-maintenance, and can usually be relied on to be a fun and goofy companion in a variety of social situations.
Stuff I like: Books on human sexuality, being up-to-date on current events, vintage clothing, jeans, flat shoes, doing cross-stitch, making earrings, sex toys, positivity, self-responsibility, Audrey Hepburn, art, Vogue and Rolling Stone magazines, floor cushions, glitter, candles, apple martinis, Oolong tea with dark chocolate, fresh flowers, kitty cats, the smell of rain on hot concrete, lip balm, sleeping in, bananas.
Stuff I can do without: Racism, intolerance, whinging, chewing gum, breast implants, the politics of John Howard, Scarlett Johansson, wearing a bra, bad coffee, sexism, doing the dishes, stepping in dog-poo, that ‘Tully’ book by Paullina Simmons, Hinder, irresponsible sexual health practices, and home decorating palettes based around the colour beige.
If you have further questions, would like references, or would like to see a photo, please feel free to email me on urban.fairygirl@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you and taking our communication to the next level in the friendship journey!

I'll just add this to my ever growing stack of reasons why I should move to Melbourne (in addition to the fact that my boyfriend is there, I am in desperate need of some culture, decent shops and no good bands bother to travel to Perth unless they are from here originally)
Tully certainly stays with you, like a bad taste that you can't get out of your mouth. Her other books are quite good though, except the latest one.
Be sure to stay in touch, and let me know if you find yourself on this side of the continent!
Cheers, m'dear...
I always read this post when I visit your blog to see if you've updated and when I make my move to Melbourne in January, I would love to meet you.
Weenyhearts,
Yes, please keep in touch! Melbourne is a great city, I hope you are having a lovely exciting time planning your move here.
Cheers,
KM
