I spent my entire life in the Hills except 1 year in West Ryde and 8 Months in Drummoyne and I enjoy living in the Hills but Annik’s blog post has a lot of truth in it. Catching the Hills bus to and from work every day brings out a horrible side of me (the cunt in me, I suppose you could say). I get really annoyed when I stand at the bus stop for 20 minutes waiting for a bus that still has seats available and then at the next stop a pregnant woman gets on and glares at me until I forfeit my seat. I waited and in my mind earned that seat. I have a lot of friends who catch the Hills Bus and bitch about it just as much as Annik and I do.

My parents insisted on sending me to a private all girls school on the north shore. Therefore for 6 years of my life I listened to the girls from school tell me that the hills was shit and I lived in the middle of nowhere. Thousands of people in Sydney think the Hills is a crappy area and I don’t understand why some people are getting so upset just because one person wrote a blog post about it. It’s not like it was on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald.

For those people who are offended, I would like you to take the time to read some other posts from Annik’s blog. Annik exaggerates and dramatises quite a few situations she has written about, I know this because I was there for many of these occasions in Annik’s life. Annik can take any situation and twist it with sick sarcasm which people like myself find entertaining.

Chill out kids.

Neek, hurry and finish ur book so I can be all like “yeah I totally read her blog before she was famous”

@ Cando
I was also there that night and agree with your comments.

In truth, really there was not much anyone could do given 0.3 seconds to react to the junki attack. From memory, several people asked if she was ok and one lady called the police. Not sure what more was required in order to remove the ‘Cunt’ badge?

To add – unless people in other suburbs have the reflexes of a cougar, there was never anything anyone could do to assist. My point? Not necessarily fair to attribute the “cunt” characteristic to all hills residents for this reason, nor because given the circumstances they have no choice but to catch the Hills bus. A choice determined by socio economic status….. Not the forum to go further into this without starting world was 2, but my point is clear.

@ Passerby.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to this blog. Someone who finds Beauty amidst ‘irony’ perhaps needs some education themselves.

@Neek – Bus = the bane of my existence.

You are clearly a frustrated, foolish ill-informed woman…

Did you think this through before submitting? I bet the answer: NO.

Do you spend a little too much time on the internet finding things to be appalled by? I bet the answer: YES.

Are you secure enough in yourself to resist lashing out at something that has so patently touched a nerve: I bet the answer: NO.

Do you have anyone that actually loves you? I bet the answer: NO.

You poor thing.

Here’s an idea – look up ‘irony’, get some perspective, realise that basic skills in spelling and grammar really do help make a better point, please stay in the Hills as I am more than sure everyone outside of your enclave would prefer you in!

O and keep in mind + IGNORANCE ISN’T BLISS!

Your obtuse remarks suggesting Annik educates herself really made my day.

Thanks for the beautiful irony.
