10:16pm: Or rather I've all ready been and it's actually my Grandparents' house, but anyway, the point is there was Canasta played today!

And unfortunately, I got thrashed by M, it didn't help that this stomachache I've had since yesterday was throwing a complete spazz. I actually considered not going, but I fought through it. It presisted though and made it sort of hard to concentrate, still I think M would have won either way, because I sure didn suck today!

M very kindly brought some non-yeast bread for lunch since I told her about my unfortunate tongue issue. With ham and cucumber and lettuce on th side, yummy, very yummy, how I love a good sandwich! Plus she gave me the bread so I can take into work tomorrow too, huzzah!

Anywho, I kinda didn't do much writing this weekend because for some reason I got the inspiration to twick with my George and Lorraine Mood Theme and the next thing you now I was working hard on get 132 individual moods like I originally planned. And yeah there goes a lotta hours! I've done them all though now I just have to upload them and set them, good stuff.

Total:
Ranking:

0-7: Fandom Virgin - You are a pure, untouched soul. You've never been in fandom before. In fact, you probably aren't sure what it is... Just don't ask us to be gentle, okay?

8-14: Fandom Saint - You're a saint! You've done so little wrong in fandom! ... In fact, you're kind of boring. Go out and write some smut already!

15-21: Repentant Sinner - You've made your mistakes in the past, but you're ready to let that go. With some good fic or fanart, you'll be in the fandom gods good graces again. Now get on your knees and show me just how sorry you really are.

22-28: Middle Way - You're a walking contradiction. For every good fic and thoughtful review there's a flame and a self-insert to balance it. You're a fence-sitter, neither good nor bad, though you have the potential for both. So make up your damn mind already!

29-35: Bad Influence - You're certainly not the worst that fandom has to offer, but your fandom soul is more than slightly tarnished. In fact, you might be responsible for the corruption of others. But you probably don't feel sorry about it.

36-42: Damned Sinner - Where am I? Where are we going? And why am I in this fandom shaped handbasket? ... Well, at least we've got really good smut here.

43-49: Fandom Demon - You've done it all, been around the fandom block, and baby, you don't even regret it. Satan could learn a thing or two from you.

I'm a Fandom Virgin! I take offence to that! Would a Fandom Virgin have spent half the weekend creating mood icons for their favourite pairing? I don't think so.

LOL that was fun....moving on to...

FOUR FOR FRIDAY

The Economy Edition

Q1 - Cutting Back: The rising price of consumer goods is driving shoppers from all lifestyles to use coupons for food, beauty aids and pharmacy products at an increasing rate, according to some of the country's largest purveyors of manufacturers' coupons. Has the current state of the U.S. economy forced you to take a second look at your spending habits? If so, are there any areas in particular where you are consciously cutting back?

Well, I don't live in the US, but things aren't going exactly peachy in Australia either. Fortunately I haven't been hit by it, the only reason I have to curb my spending habits is because I'm pretty sure I owe tax this year and due to other...unfortunate factors I don't have as much in savings as I hoped, so yeah, I'm stuffed.

Q2 - Installment vs. Lump Sum: A winner of a $42 million lottery in Michigan may do something almost unheard of: receive the money in installments rather than getting smaller, one-time cash payment. The unnamed winner of the October 3 jackpot told state lottery officials she would be taking the annuity (lottery winners typically take a lump-sum payment with plans to invest it, but confidence in the stock market has dropped with the current financial crisis). If you won a $42 million lottery tomorrow, would you take the money in installments or one lump sum?

Dude! I'd totally take the installments! It's the best way to get the most money, plus like you'd need $42 million all at once.

Q3 - Worries: Just prior to Congress' passing and the president's signing of the Treasury bailout legislation on Oct. 3, the percentage of Americans saying they worried about money the previous day hit a new high for the year at 48%. Since that time, worry has declined, with the percentage of Americans worried about money falling to 39% in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Oct. 4-6 and 42% from Oct. 5-7. Are you worried about money (asked differently, do your current worries have anything to do with money)?

Well a bit in my personal finances because of that whole tax thing going on. Also the Australian dollar has most certainly taken a dive which is a pain in the ass. Also, that Bailout doesn't seem to have done shit for the stockmarket, what's the deal with that?

Q4 - Fund That Cause: Billionaire investor and businessman Warren Buffett is again the richest American, deposing Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, after Forbes magazine recalculated the fortunes of some of the 400 wealthiest Americans. If you could compel Buffett to give away 50% of his $58 Billion net worth for a single cause, to what cause would the money go?

The Clean Water Fund! There's something like that all ready in existence after all my harping on it, I got a donation envelope with my water bill last week. But yes, dirty water is the single biggest cause of death in the world. So I'd tackle that first and foremost.

Friday Fun

The All About Me Edition

1. What is your idea of a perfect relaxing day?

Hanging out with friends just talkin' the day away, with good laughs, good food etc.

2. Your first real boyfriend/girlfriend,… do you look back fondly or do you get the shudders? Where are they today?

N/A

3. What was your favorite subject in school?

Ooh that's a toughie...I'd say Ancient History narrowly beats out English because some of the books we had to read for English were completely shithouse.

4. What is your favorite show on TV? Favorite book? Favorite song?

TV: The Simpsons
Book: Oh damn tough...Polgara the Sorcress is a big favourite.
Song: I've got lots...I guess I'd say I'm really like Clocks by Coldplay (LOL I'm like five years behind or something...)

5. My husband’s only real competion is Wentworth Miller from Prison Break. Who is your celebrity crush?

Colin Firth - aka that Mr. Darcy.

6. Since I got my first gray hair at 16, Miss Clairol and her friends are my close, personal friends! What about you? To dye or not to dye the hair? If so, what color is your natural hair (if you remember!) and what color do you dye it?

I've never dyed my hair, the closest I've come to is the when I used that spray on stuff so I could dress up as Inspector Gadget's neice Penny for Book Week when I was in Year 1 or 2 at Primary school. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I saw a really over the top A Current Affair report on the dangers of hairdye (someone's scalp basically fell off!) and since then I've never been game.
My nautral colour is dark brown with light brown, gold and reddish highlights. If I could dye it any colour though I'd definitely dye it green. LOL what can I say, I'm nuts.

Saturday 9

:Return to Sender:

1. When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it?

That would have been my Uncle David over in England, I wonder if he ever got it...I haven't got a reply

2. Can you change the oil on a car?

No, but I do know how to check it!

3. Name three things you have on you at all times.

My glasses
Unmentionables
Shoes

"Damn, my hair's messy..."

8. Who is your worst enemy?

Aside from George Bush :OP - myself probably!

9. What does your watch look like?

I don't really have one at present, I've got an old fashioned windup watch that comes with different wristbands, but all the wristbands are breaking so I can only wear it in a 1930s style type locket, which is a bit unweldy...

Saturday Six

Shit, I can't remember, it was earlier this year...or maybe the end of last year? Wait I remember the title And Then She Found Me...it had Colin Firth in it, but it was pretty weird...

2. How much is absolutely too much to pay for seeing a movie in a theater at night?

How much it is now I say! Which is about 15 bucks! Screw that, I'm gonna go on Cheap Tuesday when its' only $9 unless someone shouts me, LOL.

3. Other than popcorn and a drink, what concession item are you most likely to buy in a movie theater?

I bring my own - heh heh!

4. Take the quiz: In What Genre Should You Be A Movie Star?

Quiz broken...

5. What was the last movie you watched at home?

The first Back to the Future movie

6. Would you have paid to watch this film in a movie theater when it originally came out?

Oh Hell fucking yeah! I would even have paid double today's prices to do so...Man, to see that on the big screen...

Right there's still a few memes to go but I'm gonna end here, first of all, it's late and secondly my shoulder's just decided to chuck a spazz and I can't type.

And I just discovered I am in fact missing one mood icon to make up the total 132 set, damn...can't figure out which one it is either. I guess I'll need to look into it tomorrow.

Right goodnight all.
