The affectionately naïve Lunchbox (or sometimes Lunchbawx) is an Australian forumite with a penchant for Bowie-esque phases of self-reinvention.
The Legend
Lunchbox has somehow managed to become one of the Names of the QC forums, and consequently has one of the top Quiki listings, but has absolutely no idea how she managed it. People have suggested that perhaps it is the constant prevalence of her face in Picture threads, but Lunchbox prefers to think it is her own special brand of wit (this generally consists of satirical CAPS LOL posts or corny captioned photographs).
Lunchbox’s achievements to date are numerous. In early 2007 Est judged the ‘Raised Eyebrow’ emoticon (ô_ō) her best, although this could be contested by the famous Edvard von Legoenstein saga, which earned her the coveted peer-reviewed ‘Best Post of 2006’ award. She is a rabid photowhore and is currently trying to restart the ludicrous 365 Days Self-Portrait project on flickr, an endeavour which has led to her not only gaining an Internet Sugar Daddy, but the affections and free t-shirts of John Allison, something she is fond of pretending she isn't boasting about.
Lunchbox originally hung out on IRC, but is these days much more likely to be found mooching on Gabbly, whining about her lack of anything interesting to do, knowing very little about music, bitching about not having coffee, fishing for compliments, sighing about work, sharing in-jokes with fellow Novocastrians Eris and Princy, and/or making puppy-dog eyes at Tommydski and Calenlass.
The Lady
Lunchbox’s real name is Alison, however she prefers Ally. You should call her Lunchy, though, to reduce confusion.
Ally lives in a roughly shoebox-sized apartment with her Extra-Smart-Physics-Typey boyfriend Matt and a fluffy, sweet kitty named Tigerlily whom she found under a house. Ally’s bad habits include nail biting, procrastination, and untidiness, although people who have lived with her find she makes up for this with her excellent baking, helpful fashion sense and general okay smell.
These days Ally works as a posh Barista and Assistant Manager at a swanky little cafe near Newcastle, although in previous incarnations she has also been a Barmaid, a Receptionist and a Subway Sandwich Artist. Ally once studied Teaching Little Children at Newcastle University, although the magnetic effects of The Interblags and also the sort of wet-bread-retardedness of her head assured her that she would not be getting High Distinctions at any time in the foreseeable future, so quit. It was probably for the best.
