Such as her ‘about me’:

i’m 20-something going on 7eventy, i laugh at inapproPriate moments especially during dramatic/romantic movies, i love to sing but am utterly tone deaf, i dance like peter garrett out of the oils/frank spencer, i dress like a bliNd person who thinks the charity bin is their wardrobe, i claim to want to be a writer but have questionable skills, i watch morE tv then i should, i MaKe obscure movie referances and fail 2 notice that no one gets them, im a journalist but i was in sPecial spelling at school, i pick my nose while i’m driving and i’ll think so much my brain hurts but i do/$ay things without thinking…………………….

Then there’s the problem of your keystone antics being recounted to all the people who visit the forum mentioned in the terrorgraph:

the funniest was when the cops thought it was the punters who blocked the door to MITC stage and were bashing it in only to smack another cop in the head holding the door on the other side HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And of course there’s this beautiful allegory for the whole exercise:

just saw the channel 7 report, they had footage of 6 cops ontop of some guy on the road who’s motionless and they’re going “stop resisting”

and guy is going, “do i look like i’m resisting you fucking idiot?” – awesome

The backstory to the free party, including some other corrections to the Terrorgraph Reportage and some poetic accounts from participants fed up with the sanitized extortion (ie.$130 tix and $6 drinks) that passes for ‘festivals’ these days, the inthemix forum thread is worth a read from about here.
