Adriane's Adventures

Here is a log of my travels and the adventures, dramas and stories that ensue. I've just finished up two years living in Australia and am headed to South America next, although that could change at anytime thus the benefit of this blog for constant updates on my whereabouts, state of mind, and my latest ramblings.

Debbie Downer



Pictured is the Debbie Downer that Joey saw at Disneyland, you can tell she’s not having fun at the Happiest Place on Earth. We all know a Debbie Downer, always complaining about things, never having fun, everything is always a disaster. Rachel Dratch does the character great on Saturday Night Live. There’s a Debbie in my office, this morning I went into the copy area and she was making copies and says to me, “Look these copies are too dark, and look at this one the letters are a bit stretched, I don’t know why I even come in, nothing ever works right.” It’s always doom and gloom, then a bit later I go to get some water and DD is saying how the tea is making her queasy and she thinks she’s coming down with a cold. Then she tells me how her friend’s dad is in the hospital here and she hopes he doesn’t die. Dammit Debbie I dare you to have a good day! Also Debbie Downers usually talk in an Eeoyre voice. I don’t know what it is but DD’s crack me up, every time they are on a doom and gloom tangent it makes me laugh, because it’s always something so ridiculous, so thanks Debbie Downers you brighten my day!

It's only when I've listened to a DD for any length of time that I realize I'm a pretty upbeat person. That's unless the tsunami that we're expecting doesn't show up first.

Cast of Characters (or friends who are often mentioned in the blog)

Eric- my little brother, I’m always dragging him into some nonsense and even though he complains I know he secretly loves it!
Joey-one of my bestest friends, we grew up together in Crowley, TX, Joey now lives in San Francisco, which makes it convenient for us to cause trouble together.
Claire-I wouldn’t have survived Brisbane or my masters degree without Claire, I think sometimes we share the same brain which can be a dangerous thing. Claire is now teaching English in Japan which of course I convinced her to do and then I didn’t end up going, but she forgives me!!
Danielle- Her and her boyfriend Conor were my flatmates in Sydney, being Irish they were always up for something and we had lots of adventures together, especially when Danielle and I got a hold of lots of vodka lemonades.
Soot Face-a Dutch girl that I did my masters with, when we were in a group together and supposed to present information about a company, she suggested that we put soot on our faces and pretend the company had burned down.
Mad Mary- my British flatmate in Sydney, Mary would drink lots of wine every night and be good entertainment for the house, and of course she is a bit mad.
