Three wise and funny friends
18/07/2008 | I LIVE with three fantastic, talented, interesting, funny, beautiful girls. When I was first offered a position as a cadet at The Courier I was horrified that I'd have to move out of my McMansion in Melbourne into some creaky old house in Ballarat all by myself. One of my best friends from high school, Emily, was my salvation.
