I lead a very modern lifestyle. Like most people I'm on Facebook, have a LinkedIn profile, have two Twitter accounts, a blog, a website for my company, and am considering creating a personal website to help promote the 'brand' (very modern). I contribute to a range of forums both social and business related.
I shop online for half of my stuff and take deliveries of food, books, wine, clothes, electrical appliances, kitchenware and more from vendors here in Australia, and all across the world. I have a home wi-fi network, two TV's, a you beaut home theatre hooked into the network, an iPhone 4, a Mac and several laptops.
I've recently outsourced some of my business offshore (the US), and am about to engage someone from the Philippines to do some marketing for me. At some point in the near future I'll be taking on a VA - a Virtual Assistant, to help with the business managing a range of activities (where are you Jen?), and I expect to help with the disorganised shemozzle that is often my personal affairs.
I follow the news online and in the old fashioned paper formats, pretty well know current affairs backwards (though not always the right way around) and generally have a distinct opinion on them. I generally have 2-3 books on the go and generally manage to finish at least one a week - whether it be a history, a book of stories or essays, a literary novel or a cheap paperback.
I'm pretty well travelled, and intend to do more. On top of that I have the typical Melburnian penchant for good food, good wine, good coffee, and a social lifestyle hitting the bars, cafes and restaurants of the city on a regular basis with a variety of friends male and female.
I avoid shows - here I am different to many. The Phantoms, Mary Poppins and Jersey Boys are not for me; but I don't mind the occasional intelligent play (if I can find someone to go with), comedy act, not to mention concert or performance.
I chat with women online in places like Ok Cupid and meet them randomly in the aforementioned venues and will often bring them home for some of the aforementioned wine perhaps, or the yet to be mentioned bedroom play.
I meet interesting people at entrepreneur functions, as well as less interesting people at networking do's. I'm sufficiently in the know to get regular invites to exclusive events, openings and parties, which I'll often take up.
The sum total of this is a pretty busy, connected and dynamic lifestyle that is, I think, almost the prototypical modern lifestyle. Much as I hate being reduced to a statistical stereotype there you have it. I'm a demograph (yes, I've coined that phrase).
