anonymoose_au10:43pm: Well this documentary sounds very interesting, but the narrator for said docu has an extremely irritating voice, I hate it when a good doco goes bad.
So, it's about autusim, as an Asperger's type person, I'm rather interested in all this, I wonder if this is about...what do you call it? Behaviour Modification or something? Cause I've heard mixed reviews about that sort of thing, apparently it can border on pyschological abuse, although I'm not quite clear how.
Moving on, I think I need to call the Foxtel people because the lack of vertical hold on my TV channels, I really can't figure out the problem (as I've mentioned when I record programs and play them back the vertical hold jumping doesn't happen) and if it's related to the Box but one may as well ask.
Oh, this doco has made me somewhat bummed, what with this chick here who's efficent and accurate to nth degree what with autuism and all. Where as this week has decidedly shown I have no accuracy whatsoever, which sucks ass. I used to think I was extremely accurate and could remember all sorts of things, I can actually remember crap, but never stuff that's important! Bah humbug! But well I shouldn't bitch, since if I had autism rather than Apserger's I'd probably be pretty screwed.
Right I'm all over the place with this entry...but to the important thing - I broke the 40k barrier today, whoot!
"I Want..."Wednesday
19/11/08
What do you want to be remembered for?
Writing a great novel! Seriously, it really would be something to walk into a bookstore one day and see my name on a book! In my younger days I used to say if I ever got published I'd use a psuedonym, but now I say nay! Unless it was a romance novel, LOL, then I'd probably be tempted to go with one so I could keep my self respect! :OP)
Wednesday Mind Hump
Hello everyone! Today is Pencil Day.
Find a picture online of a pencil you think looks interesting or cool. Then, post it or link to it so everyone can see what pencil you found!
Pencil Day! How cute! I love pencils, my personal favourite is
this, my oversized pencil, it really does work too! LOL, my big bro used it once to write down the details when my comics were stolen from our car. Bummer :O(.
Wednesday Weirdness
16/9/08
1.) If you caught your partner viewing porn online and masturbating, how would you react?
I'd probably go, WTF?! If only because I've accidentally gone to some web porn site and yeah that's not attractive, I mean, ewww, as Principal Skinner said "How could anyone call that making love".
2.) If you caught your partner participating in a sex chat room online, how would you react?
I'd be really pissed off, seriously, that's cheating! I'd give 'em one Hell of a talking to.
3.) Did your parents know when you became sexually active? How did they find out?
N/A, but I pity the people who's parents found out by walking in on them! O.o
4.) How open were/are your parents about sex?
Dunno...not very, although by the same token, they didn't say it was dirty or anything like that.
5.) When was the last time you had a splinter? What part of your body was it stuck in?
A few weeks ago, it was in my thumb. I had one a couple of days before and I managed to get it out, but this time I had to go to the local chemist and have him get out for me, which was nice of him, but rather embarrassing.
6.) If you could only bring back ONE extinct animal, what would it be and why?
Man, that's a hard one...I guess the dodo, because well it's a dodo! Fun name there, although it would result in the loss of one of the great metaphors.

1. Would you rather join the Ghostbusters to hunt ghosts or join the Sesame Street bunch? Why?
Well, I'm a wuss, so I'd probably have to take the Seasme Street route, which wouldn't be so bad, I could mental bleep words while the puppets sing and laugh my ass off.
2. What is the most you are willing to do to get out of a police officer giving you a ticket?
Cry like a baby and beg them for mercy.
3. What popular movies do you find to be overrated?
The Matrix - what the fuck was that? It sucked! Star Wars - it's just meh to me.And various other movies.
4. What is in (and/or on) your bedside table?
N/A.
5. Have you ever had or fantasized about having sex with a boss before? Have you ever acted on that fantasy?
Oh dude that's GROSS! All my bosses have been either 40 years older than me, assholes, or in one case a chick.
6. If you had a personal assistant, what would you have them do?
In all honesty, clean up my apartment, but only if I could trust them not to read through my stuff.
7. Have you ever faked static, loss of cell phone reception or anything else on the telephone line to get out of a conversation?
Nah, which is kinda weird...'cause I often have uncomfortable telephone convos.
3x Thursday
Parents
1. Are your parents still alive? If so, do you get along with them?
Thank God yes! I love my parents, they're the coolest parents in the whole wide world! We don't always see eye to eye, but I love 'em!
2. Do your parents live close? Why/why not?
Indeed they do, just across the bridge. As to why, well I'm a homebody I could never be like the big bro and move overseas to Japan or something or even up to Queensland or something.
3. Name one thing valuable that your parents taught you. Why did you choose this?
Uh...hmmm...well....to be honest, I dunno...there's a lot of stuff they've told me...I can't figure out any right now, I'm bad at that sort of thing.
When I Grow Up
1. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
See previous comments to this question.
2. What did you grow up to be? Are you happy with that choice?
An office assistant, and indeed I am, it's a varied job, with interesting and nice people, good pay and perks!
3. If you could choose any job for the next 30 years, what would it be? Why?
Man, I dunno, 30 years is a long time...maybe at the State Library, that sounds really interesting.
Phew! I was going to do some more of those, but the arms are getting tired, as am I since for some reason I woke up at like 4:30am, I got back to sleep, but it was very irritating.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Goodnight and further good Nano-ing (and to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
docsgirl, I'm glad your computer's OK, but damn those viruses aren't cool. :O( I hope you can catch up on your NaNo).
