(I barrack for whichever team has the nicest uniforms.)

I really do live in the wrong town.


All around me, people are discussing the footy, the soccer, the latest... err... other game that people play...

See - I'm so un-sporty that I don't even know what other sport they'd be discussing at this time of year. And yet, I live in Melbourne. Melbourne where "Who do you barrack for?" is a standard question the first time you meet someone.


Somewhere in the world, there must be a town where people don't care about sport - but get into extremely passionate discussions of novels over the morning coffee. And someday, I'm going to go live there.

When I first saw that, even though it's obviously a different spelling, I was like, "Huh? Why is she talking about Barack Obama?" Barrack is such an unusual word here - you use it to say, like, military barracks.

And sports are silly, I would live in this town with you.
