ZOMG! It's A Woman!

anonymoose_au10:23pm: Indeed, Australia has joined the other countries out there with our first female prime minister! Sadly though it did come at the expense of old Kevin Rudd, who cried when he had to make his stepping-down speech. Poor guy, that was mean!
In other news, I rang up those people who interviewed me for the ongoing ATO job, and they told me they were still considering candidates, which is quite different from what I heard on the office gossip mill. Who knows, I ask you?
Speaking of work, it was a bit of schmoozle today when cross communication led me to do a whole lot of stuff that as it turned out I didn't need to do. Well, damn me, that was a fuck up. On the pluse side I get paid still, LOL.
Not much else to report except that there's this EPIC tennis game going on at Wimbledon due to the rules that the winner has to be two points up no matter how high the score goes!
Wednesday Wickedness! (I forgot this yesterday!)

1. "With a parent, it's always guilt. You want to be there, but you kind of also want to be here." Tell us about a time where you had to be selfish with your time, and felt guilty about it (whether it was time taken from your children or a S/O).
Due to the fact I'm a free agent I've never felt guilty for being selfish with my time, LOL! But I tend to help out my parents when they ask so I'm probably not all that selfish with it anyway.
2. "Sex appeal is not on purpose." Do you feel that you can create more sex appeal or that it's just a given?
No idea...but I think it's probably something you can create.
3. "One man is not enough." Has there ever been a time when monogamy seemed difficult?
N/A.
4. "I think I've always been good so God wouldn't strike me dead." Do your religious beliefs really influence your behavior?
Sure! Although I'd like to think a lot of them just come from basic good human nature. But then God created all the good stuff, so there you go, LOL!
5. "You just have to forgive them for being men." Do you feel there are some things in a S/O that you can't change because of their sex?
N/A.
6. "When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was when I was growing up, with braces, crooked teeth, a baby face and a skinny body." Do you see a younger less secure person when you gaze in the mirror?
Nah, I notice that my forehead gets way more wrinkly when I make faces these days! Bit of a concern that...
7. “I was a pregnant vixen.” If you have ever been pregnant, or have been with a woman who was, how did effect your sex life?
N/A.
8. “Everything needs to be worked on...” What would you like to work on to become a better person?
Ummm...holding down a job I suppose. Quite lame being a member of the longtime unemployed.
9. "From an early age, I was aware of what America meant, and how the Marines at Camp Pendleton were ready to defend us at a moment's notice. I also remember what fabulous bodies those troops had." When did you think that you understood the sacrifices that people in the military make on behalf of their country?
Um, probably after making an insulting remark re: the statue of the Unknown Soldier. It's cringeworthy to think about it now let me tell you! Fortunately it wasn't during ANZAC Day or anything like that, or I might have had my ass kicked. But yes, you've got to differiate between military people and the military machine.
10. "The bigger the better. Do I dare say that!?" In your experience, is there truth here?
Well, not when it comes to being fat, but everything else? Why not? Bring it on, I say!

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of Atlantic Ocean and the number 3.
1. It became officially summer on Monday. What's your favorite part of winter?
Not here in Australia it didn't...and I don't much care for winter, too cold and it gets dark too damn early.
2. What was your worst summer vacation ever?
I don't think I've ever had a bad one...when I was 6 I fractured my arm and had to spend most of it in a sling, but that wasn't so bad, except when I had to shower...most unweildy.
3. Kimber's husband just got the dream job that he's hoped for. So a big shout out to her and Anthony! Tell us about the best job that you ever had.
Well, I really did love my time with Albert at ITP, a one hour lunch, working in the beautiful surrounds of Manly, near the library...good times, good times.
4. Who is probably talking a load of crap about you right now?
No-one I know of. :OP
5. An alien appears and offers you the opportunity to repeat one year of your life. You will still know everything that you know now. He explains that no matter what you do differently, when you are returned to the present nothing will have changed. What year would you pick and why?
Oh sweet! I'm totally going back to 1993, we went on our World Trip! That was the best summer ever! Plus I'll know to ride all the rides I can because later on in life I'll develop a tendency to motion sickness :O( Even if it hadn't closed I don't think I could have experienced the Back to the Future Ride.
6. Name three things you have on you at all times. Explain why.
Umm...I can only think of one that isn't a body part...or two actually - most of the time:
My crucifix necklace, I'm loathe to take it off!
My glasses, I can't see without 'em!
7. When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it?
So long ago I can't remember, that's rather sad isn't it?
8. If you could have everyone in the blogosphere read just one of your posts, which post would you pick and why?
Uh...I don't have a groundbreaking post like that...maybe the one that links to my Torchwood Flash Fics? I should get back to those...
9. I recently read that the music industry continues to decline at an alarming rate. In the last year it said the sales of Michael Jackson's and The Beatles' music are the only artists who sales continue to climb. The article stated that the two are holding up the industry. Have you bought a CD or mp3 of either artist recently?
Nope.
10. What radio ad right now do you find so annoying that you'd rather have a tooth drilled than hear it again?
A radio ad specifically? I can't think of any. But those mining ads they had on (gone now with the new Prime Minister, hmpf) can kiss the fattest part of my ass.
11. Berleen walks into a bar on a hot Minnesota day. At the bar sits a priest, a rabbi and a minister. A ten foot duck walks into the bar right after Berleen. What drink do you think Berleen orders?
"A Long Screw Against a Wall" I laughed my ass off when I saw that drink in a bar. Dear me...
12. There is a knock on your door. It can be anyone in the world. Who would you want it to be?
OMG! Colin Firth! I'd die! :OD But what a way to go!
13. What would be the worst entertainment or sporting that you could be forced to watch?
Cricket...once I had to go to a game with my parents...boredom doesn't describe it!

Do you read book reviews? Do you let them change your mind about reading/not reading a particular book?
Generally, I don't read them until after I've read a book...don't ask me why, LOL. But no I don't let it sway me, but if the reviews are really bad I probably won't buy it but borrow it from the library instead.
Man...I really want some cheese...but I've had quite a bit of it all ready today! Ah alas...
Anywho! Back to simming! Goodnight all!
