About: monicam

Profile:

Monica grew up in a very sheltered neighbourhood in Sydney, Australia and found solace in her teenage years by convincing herself she was a nonconformist for listening to punk music. As a result, she feels like a bit of a sell-out now she has a corporate job and tries to compensate by hanging out with lots of cool people and doing rebellious things at work like not switching her monitor off at the power point over the weekend.
