An Aussie (formerly) in America
and other semi-related nonsense





{Content}
Stateside Ranting Various rants, observations, stories, and other textual revelations from two years in the USA.
More Stateside Ranting More of the above.
(These two pages are basically the heart of ArwonOnline)
Post-America After having been elsewhere, I'm seeing things back in Australia with a new perspective and a new outlook and all that stuff.
Tourist Meanderings Travel journal. I've passed through thirty US States, seen both coasts, and eaten at Denny's in five different time zones.
Other Writings Various other things which I have written at different times. More or less unrelated to the larger theme of this site.
Other Stuff Miscelleneous things. Some of it quite good, some of it quite crappy. A mixed bag. Oh, the gaity and the novelty of it all.... It overwhelms.
Snafu the Wombat Absurdist story. Featuring wombats and fairys and guns and more. Not that great, but you might get a bit of entertainment...

+Five new Pieces I wrote back around December and January but only just uploaded for some reason. They're about working in a supermarket, insects in summer, and various other parts of Australia situated various distances west of here.

This'll probably be the last time I update this site for a while, as well as the first time since December. I've been working since school ended, and now, I leave for a trip back to America in two days . It will be grand. Then after that it's more work because of the whole "needing money" thing, and then University in Sydney in the new year. We'll see how things go.

{About}
All you really need to know is this: I am Sean. I am 18 years beyond birth. I am Australian. I lived in America and I wrote about it. Hence this site. You can go now, if you want.
Sometime late in 2000, my family moved to San Diego, California. The Royal Australian Navy sent my dad there, and so off we all went (My first time overseas).
ArwonOnline was born in about March of 2001. In the early days, it was mainly about me venting, serving as a way of dealing with culture shock. Hence the title "Rants" which has stuck around even though it's not really a good description of my later pieces.
Since then though, this site, and my writing, has evolved somewhat. After about a half dozen URL changes, it's become what you see before you.

In late 2002, my two years in the US was over, and it was time to return to Australia. So here I am, back where I started from, with little more than memories and a new persepctive to show for it. Oh, and all this website stuff, too.
