When you're talking to someone new and the conversation steers towards the topic of home suburbs, your impression of the person will immediately change based on where they're from.

Newtown or Enmore? You must be a hipster. Anywhere from the North Shore? Your parents are ultra-successful doctors or lawyers, aren't they? Cronulla/The Shire? Oh cool, well it's nice to meet you. 

And as for anyone who moved to Sydney from at least 2 hours away? Congratulations, you are the token Bogan of your new friend group.

My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem. Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh. You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
