anonymoose_au11:10am: I totally forgot to update last night! How embarrassing...
But I did remember to finally join a Health Fund so now I'm covered, phew! Took me forever to get around like that.
Not that I had much to report re: yesterday. Normal workday, you know...although I wrote another flashfic, which is good 'cause I've been kinda neglecting it since I made my Capt. John sim, LOL :OD
And hey I forgot to put a link to this video I downloaded of Sim!John having fun with his latest acquisition. :OD
FOUR FOR FRIDAY
Q1: - Drugs: Fueled primarily by Internet sales, the International Journal of Clinical Practice recently reported that the counterfeit pharmaceutical market could reach $70 billion dollars by 2010, Alarmingly, the Journal reports, these include fake drugs that could have devastating consequences, like counterfeit medication for potentially fatal conditions like cancer and high blood pressure. Have you ever--or would you consider--purchasing pharmaceutical drugs online from a foreign-based provider or company?
No way, Jose! I'm not a dumbass! Seriously, man, that's just stupid, you don't buy drugs and medication over the net. I don't now why you'd think it was a good idea.
Q2: - Rejuvenile: Rejuvenile's are what marketers are now calling people who cultivate tastes and mindsets traditionally associated with those younger than themselves. For example, the iPhone recognizes and plays to the rejuvenile trend by featuring brightly colored icons and playful features that reflect a kid-like tone, whereas the Mini Cooper lets every boy or girl live out their fantasy of driving a Matchbox/Hot Wheels-like car in real life. Do you consider yourself a rejuvenile?
Sure, I love watching cartoons and buying cute looking stuff etc. Ah, fun times fun times,
Although I can't see how a Mini Cooper looks like a Matchbox/Hot Wheels car to be honest with you.
Q3: - Credit: The credit score--that annoying but all-important numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit files that represents your creditworthiness--is getting a lot of play these days. With the availability of credit tightening and more people going into debt because of the state of the economy, many people stand to lose ground over the next few years--not gain it--when it comes to their credit score. How concerned are you with your credit score? Do you, for instance, use a fee-based service to monitor and check your credit score, or could you give a rats-you-know-what about your credit rating?
I'm not sure if we have that sort of thing in Australia...I don't have a real credit card because I'm not comfortable with spending money I haven't got yet, because if something goes wrong, well, you have to pay the interest and everything. So yeah, not worried about that.
Q4: - Place: A new national survey by the Pew Research Center's Social & Demographic Trends project finds that nearly half (46%) of Americans would rather live in a different type of community from the one they're living in now. When asked about specific metropolitan areas where they would like to live, respondents rank Denver, San Diego and Seattle at the top of a list of 30 cities, and Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati at the bottom. Reasonably speaking, would you like to live somewhere other than where you currently reside?
Not American, but hey, I like it right where I am. :OD There was talk last year of me moving back into my parents house and one of my friends move into my apartment here. But it didn't come to pass, which is good, 'cause like I said I really like it here. :O)
Friday Fill-Ins
1. I'd really like some cheese right now. (I'm gonna get some...)
2. "FUCK" is the word you'd most often hear me say if I stubbed my toe. ('Cause I curse so much.)
3. Possession is 9/10ths of the law. (Which I'm pretty sure translates into "Finders keepers".)
4. Captain John Hart totally pwns Captain Jack Sparrow.
5. Marshmallows and fire go together like a horse and carriage. (Yum toasted marshmallows...not that I've had them very often alas...)
6. I can talk on and on. and on and on... ;O)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to dunno, playing some more Sims maybe, tomorrow my plans include going to find some new shoes and maybe visit the Library and whatnot.and Sunday, I want to!
Friday Question
30/01/09
What personality trait has gotten you into the most trouble?
Hmmm, probably my inability to admit I'm wrong...it's not that I don't know I've made a mistake, I just hate admitting it, and that's a great way to piss a person off, you know. I recommend one avoids this!

Super Friday
1. In American football, a fumble occurs when the player carrying the ball drops it, often resulting in a great advantage for the other team. What have you recently fumbled in your own life?
LOL, the question might be what haven't I fumbled, I always stuff shit up...To take this literally, I practically dropped the recycling bin on my toe. Shit that hurt!
2. In American football, you have thrown an interception when someone from the other team catches the ball you meant for your teammate. Who’s often an interceptor of something you intend for someone else?
Dunno...never really done that sort of thing...
3. One of the severest penalties in American football is for unsportsmanlike conduct, when a player doesn’t play according to the spirit of fair play. In what situations are you most likely to be a perpetrator of unsportsmanlike conduct?
Talking about my big bro probably, I'm always taking the piss out of him. How mean of me!
4. In American football, the concept of running low-risk plays that consistently gain a few yards at a time is called “moving the chains,” while the concept of going after huge gains with higher-risk plays is called the “vertical game.” In your personal life, are you more of a moving-the-chains player or a vertical-game player?
All this football stuff is getting rather confusing... I suppose I'm the "moving the chains" type person. In all honesty though, I kinda just stay where I am on the field...no wonder I keep getting tackled, LOL!
5. Sometimes in American football, the quarterback will, at the last moment, change his or her mind about the intended play, either to prevent what is likely to be a failure or to take advantage of a vulnerability in the other team. The method used in this play-change is often “calling an audible.” In what way have you recently called an audible in your life?
I got nothin'...I suck at lying, really, so I'm not good at fooling anyone. So yeah, if I say I'm doing something it's not likely that I'm going to try and fake someone out.
The (Other) Friday Five
30/01/2009
1) How would you define beauty?
Errr...never really thought about it...could be lots of things though, a sunset, library full of books (I love books!) or Mr. Darcy, LOL!
2) What is the best quality a person can have?
Man...I guess...compassion, 'cause it can inspire you to do all sorts of things, tell jokes, be comforting and whatnot.
3) What is the worse quality a person can have?
Coldness, 'cause it's the opposite of compassion and makes you an asshat.
4) What makes up your perfect match?
Never thought about it, honsetly.
5) Have you met this person yet?
N/A.
Hmmm, not much else to report, so I'll leave it off there. It's been hot all week, and it seems it's keeping up...I've got to turn the air-con on.
I'm thinking I should definitely do some swimming this weekend!
Ta ta for now.
