8:50 pm:My leg bones have just started hurting for no apparent reason..it's gone down into my left ankle now...but it's a generally uncomfortable feeling on the whole.
In other news...my desktop computer is dead! Last night I went to pick up my mother and when I got back my computer was showing the Blue Screen of Death again! But this time it wouldn't restart, so I decided to wait until the morning and continue playing Sims on my laptop (Pat McFly's graduated College Summa Cum Laude! Whoo! The first of my Sims to get that honour.) But this morning when I tried to start it up it turned on...then nothing...not the opening screen, the keyboard didn't light up and I didn't even hear the fan. I restarted it a couple of times and then it started making these crazy beeping noises, so I looked up on the laptop about them. It mentioned that continous beeps could mean various things but one was the power supply, so I plugged another power cabel in...still no luck. Although I've just realised that by power supply they probably meant the little box thing in the computer itself...either that or the System Board is dead. Which sucks! I can no longer play Sims while talking to my friends online. Boo! Hopefully, though the hard disk can be plugged into another comp and I can get some stuff off that because I've got some important stuff on there!
So, sniff R.I.P Desktop comp.
In other news, I'm watching the Air Crash Investigation that brings to light the importancce of keeping one's seatbelt on at all times when on a plane, 'cause if the roof or door blows off you'll be totally screwed (1 person on that United that had it's door blown out over Hawiian- which was the first ep of the series incidentally- prove it too. Poor fellow...) On Monday the next new episode, one that I haven't seen before, is on! It looks very interesting indeed! A missle hits a plane's wing, how's it gonna land with hardly any control?
My nose hurts again...God damnit, it feels like there's cuts up there or something...I don't know what the Hell that is, because I don't touch my nose very much, like I don't rub it or blow it for fun or something. And I've still got that thing where it's like I've got a cold or something, but this has been going on and off for months, and nobody has a cold for three months! Plus I don't feel malaise or any of that...so it must be an allergy. But too what? My room? The dog? I don't think I can be bothered to go through a whole allergy test thingo...but I don't exactly just want to start taking Clarytne or Zertec without having a reason too...that stuff can have weird side effects.

Favourites
1. What are your favorite colors? Do you use them in your everyday life (clothing, decor, etc)?
Green, red, purple and aquamarine. I like to wear those colour clothes, but having thought about it I don't think it'd be a good idea to paint my walls those colours, I've always wanted to, but as Dad points out it would just make my room look a lot smaller. I wouldn't mind having my bedsheets and couch those colours though...oh and my plates! :O)
2. What is your favorite type of food? How do you incorporate it into your life?
Oooh...cheese...and yeah I eat it every day...too much of it probably because dairy can cause problems with the digestive system...Lasagne is like my favourite dish, when home-made by mother. Ahh, super yummy! I also enjoy grapes, sausages and so forth. Good stuff.
3. What are your favorite types of clothing? Why?
Er...whatever's comfortable, I don't like tight clothes or ones that are really short (I've got large thighs so it ain't a good look), I like shorts, jeans, t-shirts and so on. Oh and no frilly collars! God damnit, my mother had these shirts with crazy collars and she tried to get me to wear 'em, but I put my foot down.
Bonus Question for Comments: Icecream! What are your favorite ice creams?
Vanilla with Ice Magic chocolate stuff on top, or any icecream with a chocolate outer coat...ooh yummy! I also like chocolate icing, but not too much of it...otherwise I feel gross.

An Interesting Character
1. Do you have a favorite character(s)?
My favourite fictional book characters are Percy Weasley, Ron Weasley, Hermione and Harry as well as Polgara the Sorceress, Kay Scarpetta, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett, Emma Woodhouse and Mr. Knightley and the kids from the I Hate Fridays! series.
2. What book/author is he/she/it from?
First four: Harry Potter- JK Rowling
Polgara: The Belagariad/Mallorean etc-David and Leigh Eddings.
Kay Scarpetta: Patricia Cornwell
Mr. D and Lizzie: Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen
Emma and Mr. Knightley: Emma- Jane Austen
I Hate Fridays kids... self-explanatory- Rachel Flynn
3. Why do you like this person--what is it about the way he/she was written that drew you to them?
Percy: I like him because he reminds me of my brother...or perhaps myself...I'm not sure, my older bro claims he's not like Percy at all. Aside from that I'm also interested in how his mind works, and his current reactions against his family.
Ron: Ron's just cool. I love his sense of humour and his (usually reliable) loyalty to his friends and his bravery and so on. I was pretty pissed when I read OotP where Dumbledore basically said Harry would have been the Prefect if not for all the responsibilty on his shoulders. I think Ron deserved it as much as anyone!
Hermione: She's smart, she's brave, she doesn't take crap and she has more important things to worry about than her looks. And like Ron and Hermione as a couple, they get on great :O) Well, you know, when they're not fighting too much... And yeah I just really love how Hermione finds solutions to problems and helps her friends out.
Harry: After reading that horror that is Rose Potter (ugh!) I really, really like Harry! He does annoy me sometimes, but he has a good heart, his brave and loyal and a good friend, and been a good friend is important. :O)
Polgara: She's probably a bit of a Mary-Sue, but I still like her, she's a powerful sorceress, she gets down to business and she sticks up for those she cares about. She also has a rather sarcastic sense of humour that I like. :O)
Kay Scarpetta: Like my other women favourites, she's intelligent and she investigates to the very end when it comes to her job, as a Forensic Pathologist (which is intriguing in itself) and she's a good friend...well mostly.
Mr. Darcy: It's Mr. Darcy! Actually, Colin Firth may have something to do with it, but on reading the book I find Darcy quite interesting in himself. He's stoic and lacking in social ettiquette seriously! As it turns out though he's a real gentleman!
Lizzie: Lizzie is cool! I was actually surprised at how sassy she was as an 19th Century woman. If she doesn't like someone or something, she'll find a way to say it and not always tactfully. :O)She's also able to admit she's wrong.
Emma: Like Lizzie, Emma's sassy and she's fun loving, always sticking her nose in everyone's business...but only for the best :OP But she's loyal to the right people and she can admit she's wrong in the ends, good stuff!
Mr. Knightley: English Gentleman at its best, Mr. Knightley is great! He helps out people, he's smart, he's interesting and from what I've read in the book he's very attractive. Heh heh ;O)
I Hate Fridays! kids: I just like 'em 'cause they seem so real and I can empthasise with their situations and characters. Good insights into various different kinds of people.
4. Is there something more you would like the author to tell you about them?
Percy: Is he ever going to apologise!
Ron: Will he be Head Boy? Do he and Hermione live happily ever after?
Hermione: What's her future career? As above!
Harry: Does he live?!
Polgara: Nothing really, there's a novel on her early life and the other books...I guess...what sex were her twins, it's never said!
Kay: Ummm...dunno...why she seems to go down in age? ;O)
Mr. D: What happens with Lizzie? Do they have many kids? Do they have to deal with Wickham much?
Lizzie: Dunno...
Emma: Does she remember her mother at all?
Mr Knightley: What was his childhood like? Where his parents nice? Did he and his little brother get on well?
The I Hate Fridays! kids: Nope, at the end of the series they tell you want happens to 'em.
Thursday Threesome
::Money Back Guarantee::
Onesome: Money- What's the biggest waste of money you've ever spent?
Well, as it turned out my collection of X-Men comics which were stolen nearly two years ago...that was $200 down the train for fuck sake! Aside from that...there was something else...but it's gone out of my mind. Oh yeah, my Red Travel Pass a few weeks ago...fuck.
Twosome: Back- Have you ever said or done something that you wish you could take back?
Uh yeah duh! Who hasn't cripes! Just yesterday I did...and there's been many many other incidents...
Threesome: Guarantee- What do you wish would come with a guarantee?
Gee...I dunno...my comics would have been nice :O( So, I could get them all back you know...That's all I can really think of at the mo...
Five on Friday
Spring Fling
Sandal weather is nigh upon us... (Not for me it ain't!)
1. Do you wear any footwear that exposes your feet?
Yeah...but only for special occasions or if I have to get to somewhere quickly or it's really really hot!
2. Do you prefer flip-flops or slides?
Slides...I hate flip-flops! Hate them! Hate them! First the hurt the skin between my big toe and the toe next to it. And then they make this horrible sound when they drag against the ground. Oh, I hate the sound, it's painful!
3. Have you worn sandals yet this year? Is there a special time when you traditionally break them out?
Yes, because I'm in the Southern Hemisphere. I usually break 'em out around October.
4. What are your feelings on the increasing popularity of flip flops and their appearance at the White House last summer?
Noooo! As I said I can't abide by the noise they make, I can feel it in the back of my throat, it's like it's choking me...Although I suppose if everyone walks on grass with 'em... I could stand it.
5. What kind of shoes are you?
That's ironic, because I need a pair of those shoes like nothing else right now, but I can't find any I can wear with my orthodics, which suck 'cause I really need to wear those things...

Cheaters!
1. Have you cheated or been cheated on?
Nope, never had a relationship.
2. What is your definition of cheating?
Any romantic interaction with someone other than your significant other.
3. If you thought your significant other was cheating, how far would
you go to prove your theory correct?
Errr...dunno...maybe listen into their phonecalls if they were acting particularly suspicious about that. Confront a few of their friends and see if they know something. But I wouldn't stalk 'em, and I'd ask them outright if they thought something was wrong with the relationship.
4. Would you date someone knowing they have prior history with
cheating, as in they cheated on someone? Why or why not?
Hmmm...it's often said "Once a cheater, always a cheater" but I don't know...it depends on the circumstance...if they did it just to do it, I probably wouldn't, but if they had a semi-decent excuse or if it had been relatively small stuff (kissing and flirting) I'd consider it.
5. What do you think is a person's most common motive for cheating
on someone?
It seems to be sex...like sex with someone they find reallly attractive or someone new.

Ummm...well for my last birthday, Dad got me a pedometre! This was great because I lost my last one :O( But alas it's recently broken, which sucks, 'cause he went to quite a bit of trouble to get that for me.
Dessert
How do you react under pressure?
Badly, with lots of waving of hands and high pitched voice. Not good at all...
T.G.I.F
Health Buff
1. How many glasses of water do you drink in a day?
Heaps! Although sometimes I have big glasses, other times small ones...but more than 8, particularly if I'm just sitting at home, which is probably why I have to go to the bathroom so much...
2. Do you watch what you eat?
Er no...I mean I don't eat cake all day, but I don't always eat all the veggies and what not I should each day.
3. What physical fitness regimen do you follow?
A shit one, I usually walk, but I've been doing hardly any of that since I injured my knee...but it's almost better now, so I think I'll be walking about soon. :O)

I do, I do indeed, particularly when it's nice and juicy...mmmm...or in nugget form, double mmmmm!
2. What is 1 food you can't live without?
Cheese! Oh, how I love my cheese! :OD
3. Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Afternoon bird really...I don't like staying up too late, although sometimes I do, because I get drawn in by the net...that nefarious thing!
4. Chocolate or vanilla?
Chocolate, baby!
5. Are you more of a cat person or a dog person?
Neither...more a bird person I'd say...I don't like dogs at all though.
Phew! That took forever, during this time I saw a deeply sad program about the sinking of a ship called the Estonia 12 years ago, 852 people died when it capsized, most of them stuck in the ship as it rolled over! Awful stuff. The most shocking thing was, when people got out on deck, some guys who were all ready up there came over and mugged them! As the ship was sinking, what the fuck? I think they died (which is sad), but what the Hell were they thinking?
Now, I'm watching something on the Magnetic Field of Earth...did you know that it flips every couple of 100 thousand years? And we're way overdue to have one! Which is a worry because when it flips it can't deflect the sun's dangerous rays properly, although apparently it's not that bad...hopefully...But it seems it's all ready happening, and we could end up with heaps of magnetic fields all over the place, which make navigation a pain in the ass. On the upside we'll all be able to watch the Boreliuses every night, and contary to my previous belief it doesn't make the earth turn over so that the Southern Hemisphere is the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa, which makes sense, LOL! But yes keep your eye on the compass and your sun screen on (to protect from the radiation).
Righto, it's now much later than I planned, so no Simmies 'til tomorrow. Ah well.
Good night!
In other news...my desktop computer is dead! Last night I went to pick up my mother and when I got back my computer was showing the Blue Screen of Death again! But this time it wouldn't restart, so I decided to wait until the morning and continue playing Sims on my laptop (Pat McFly's graduated College Summa Cum Laude! Whoo! The first of my Sims to get that honour.) But this morning when I tried to start it up it turned on...then nothing...not the opening screen, the keyboard didn't light up and I didn't even hear the fan. I restarted it a couple of times and then it started making these crazy beeping noises, so I looked up on the laptop about them. It mentioned that continous beeps could mean various things but one was the power supply, so I plugged another power cabel in...still no luck. Although I've just realised that by power supply they probably meant the little box thing in the computer itself...either that or the System Board is dead. Which sucks! I can no longer play Sims while talking to my friends online. Boo! Hopefully, though the hard disk can be plugged into another comp and I can get some stuff off that because I've got some important stuff on there!
So, sniff R.I.P Desktop comp.
In other news, I'm watching the Air Crash Investigation that brings to light the importancce of keeping one's seatbelt on at all times when on a plane, 'cause if the roof or door blows off you'll be totally screwed (1 person on that United that had it's door blown out over Hawiian- which was the first ep of the series incidentally- prove it too. Poor fellow...) On Monday the next new episode, one that I haven't seen before, is on! It looks very interesting indeed! A missle hits a plane's wing, how's it gonna land with hardly any control?
My nose hurts again...God damnit, it feels like there's cuts up there or something...I don't know what the Hell that is, because I don't touch my nose very much, like I don't rub it or blow it for fun or something. And I've still got that thing where it's like I've got a cold or something, but this has been going on and off for months, and nobody has a cold for three months! Plus I don't feel malaise or any of that...so it must be an allergy. But too what? My room? The dog? I don't think I can be bothered to go through a whole allergy test thingo...but I don't exactly just want to start taking Clarytne or Zertec without having a reason too...that stuff can have weird side effects.

3. What physical fitness regimen do you follow?
A shit one, I usually walk, but I've been doing hardly any of that since I injured my knee...but it's almost better now, so I think I'll be walking about soon. :O)
4. How many hours of sleep so you need every night?
8, I can function on 7 but getting up in the morning is a pain in the butt.
5. Are you happy with your body?
Sure! It does it's job well. :OD
The Other Friday Five
Bits and Bobs
1. Do you like chicken?
I do, I do indeed, particularly when it's nice and juicy...mmmm...or in nugget form, double mmmmm!
2. What is 1 food you can't live without?
Cheese! Oh, how I love my cheese! :OD
3. Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Afternoon bird really...I don't like staying up too late, although sometimes I do, because I get drawn in by the net...that nefarious thing!
4. Chocolate or vanilla?
Chocolate, baby!
5. Are you more of a cat person or a dog person?
Neither...more a bird person I'd say...I don't like dogs at all though.
Phew! That took forever, during this time I saw a deeply sad program about the sinking of a ship called the Estonia 12 years ago, 852 people died when it capsized, most of them stuck in the ship as it rolled over! Awful stuff. The most shocking thing was, when people got out on deck, some guys who were all ready up there came over and mugged them! As the ship was sinking, what the fuck? I think they died (which is sad), but what the Hell were they thinking?
Now, I'm watching something on the Magnetic Field of Earth...did you know that it flips every couple of 100 thousand years? And we're way overdue to have one! Which is a worry because when it flips it can't deflect the sun's dangerous rays properly, although apparently it's not that bad...hopefully...But it seems it's all ready happening, and we could end up with heaps of magnetic fields all over the place, which make navigation a pain in the ass. On the upside we'll all be able to watch the Boreliuses every night, and contary to my previous belief it doesn't make the earth turn over so that the Southern Hemisphere is the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa, which makes sense, LOL! But yes keep your eye on the compass and your sun screen on (to protect from the radiation).
Righto, it's now much later than I planned, so no Simmies 'til tomorrow. Ah well.
Good night!
