Toot Your Own Horn...
Aug. 30th, 2009 10:55 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
9:14pm: SoI'm watching the second episode of Hornblower and you've got to love the straw hats.
Very chic...
Of course this is the one without Archie in it, which is really rather a shame, being that he's my favourite and all. But you got to love Hornblower, despite the unfortunate name there.
And I can't say I remember to well the subplot of that guy who wants to get the Hell out of dodge. Not that I particularly blame him, the armed services in the late 18th century sucked.
I've been trying to work on my resume, I want to make it the best I can so I can get a chance at this job! But the cover letter's proving to be a bit of a stumbling block. I need to make it goood!
Meanwhile Capt John is having quite a bit of fun with Captain Jack and Amaya, LOL, and he's not even dreaming. ;O)
But alas, it's past 10 now, so bed calls soon.

1. What single thing were you most afraid of as a child?
Throwing up. Or ball games...I hate ball games, the ball always seemed to hit me.
2. Do you feel like you’ve been able to overcome this fear or does it still bother you?
Well, I managed to try and learn tennis, but the fear of throwing up remains unabated.
3. If you’re alone in the house on a “dark and stormy night,” and there’s a scary movie on TV, are you likely to watch or avoid it?
I don't like scary movies at the best of times, so I'm totally avoiding it!
4. If you were to watch it, would it make you have any trouble at all in getting to sleep?
There would be no sleep for me, seriously I once ended up been unable to sleep all night just by reading the prologue of Jaws. I'm a complete wuss.
5. Take the quiz: Do You Have the Fears of a Child or an Adult?
Seems true enough.
6. What is your biggest fear now that you’re an adult?
Throwing up...no really...Which I suppose goes to show I'm on a good thing in my life, but it's still a very uncomfortable and terrible pain in the arse.

:The Ellie Bellie Meme:
What are your most common nicknames?
Moose
What is today's weather?
Apparently it was quite nice, but I was a lazy arse and didn't go out, which I'm a bit ashamed of now.
Where did go on vacation this year?
Well I went to visit my cousins in the Canberra area in April, good times, good times.
What did you do there?
Lots of things! Went and saw Questacon and the National Portrait Gallery and the National Library and I just hung around with my Aunt Chris, Uncle Laurie and my cousins Haley and Alex. It rocked! :OD
Where did you stay?
At my Aunt Chris and Uncle Laurie's place.
What job do you do?
I'm an Admin Assisant.
Describe where you live.
A very messy studio apartment in Newtown, good times, good times.
What do you usually do on weekends?
RPG and chat to my online friends, which whilst fun, I could probably do with a lot more outdoor activities...
What food hits your 'bliss spot'?
Cheeeese and chocolate, you know the unhealthy stuff.
What drink really does it for you?
Iced water, yeah I'm hardcore! ;O)
Describe the first friend that comes to your head.
Zep.
What was the last restaurant you went to?
Some place in Dee Why, I ordered off the kid's menu, which is kind of rude, but it's not my fault they make portions for adult menus so huge.
Where would you like to live if you had unlimited moneys and nothing stopping your dreams?
New York! At least for a while, I think that would be totally cool!
What is the likeliness of you achieving this dream home?
Ha ha! Snowball's chance in Hell.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
RPG and write stories.
What's your favorite genre for TV programs?
Crime documentaries...hmmm...that sounds a bit disturbing out of context.
What's your favorite genre for music?
Old school pop.
What's your favorite song that's sad?
Don't really like sad songs, since I don't like being sad. The background musical piece Broken Heart from Robotech really tears at my heartstrings, so saaad!
What's your favorite soppy film?
Bridget Jones's Diary - oh that Mr. Darcy!
How about your favorite chick flick?
I'm quite fond of A League of their Own

Getting a glass of water, seriously, I'm thirsty.
What are you dreading at the moment?
Nothing really.
How would you describe your personality?
Weeeird!
If you had a personality eraser, what part of yours might you erase?
The anxious part, useful fear is useful, but needless anxiety, fuck that.
You are given $5000 to spend in 1 day, what do you do with it? remember, no limitations!
Ummm...I'd pay it towards my apartment and get myself a good DVD recorder, I'm really wild! ;O)
What is your biggest fear?
See previous Meme.

5. Take the quiz: Do You Have the Fears of a Child or an Adult?
You Have the Fears of a Teenager |
![]() You are still finding your footing in the world, and a lot fear stems from your own insecurity. You feel ready to be more independent and successful, but you're worried if you can really do it. You fear failure, and you also fear humiliating yourself. The less confident you are, the more afraid you are. Over time you are learning that everyone is afraid... you just have to act as if you're not! |
Seems true enough.
6. What is your biggest fear now that you’re an adult?
Throwing up...no really...Which I suppose goes to show I'm on a good thing in my life, but it's still a very uncomfortable and terrible pain in the arse.
