anonymoose_au10:15pm: For I'm very tired indeed!
In other news today was the big interview and they said I did quite well! Fingers crossed I say! Apparently I'm against five other people and I should know by next week.
Sadly, while I was catching the train back home, a button fell of my jacket! Fortunately I was able to save the button and Mum said she'll sew it back on. What a shame, I've only had that jacket for four months.
Thursday Thunks
:You give it a title:
The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of lightning bolts and the number 1.
A. If you see a tornado out your window, what do you do? Scream 'FUCK!' and hide in the crawl space under the house.
B. A celebrity knocks on your door saying that their tour bus/limo/pedal bike broke down (you pick the transportation)... who is it and what do you do to help them?
It's Colin Firth and his car (probably something nice and economical). :O) And of course I help, I call out the NRMA and while we're waiting I give him tea or coffee.
C. Brett is back on the Vikings - do you really give a crap? I don't know who or what that is.
D. What side of the bed do you think Bud sleeps on? Beats the crap out of me.
E. Cookie Monster eats vegetables now. Is this ok with you? Well...as long as he still eats cookies I suppose. Still it's kind of sad that he can't just scarf them down, he's obviously not a small child in danger of obseity after all!
F. All the TT's get together for coffee... which state do we meet in? I don't even know where you all are sperately.
G. Is the town you live in famous for anything? Infamous for anything? Well Sydney's famous for its beauitful harbour and the Opera House and Bridge! As for infamous? Dunno...we used to have a lot of convicts of course...so it was a rough place.
H. Coffee flavored bubble gum - would you? Ewww, no thanks.
I. So Kimber lost her fight with a granite table.... what did you ever lose a fight with? Um...lots of thinks, I'd probably say my job addiction.
J. Have you ever slept beneath the stars? Well, I've slept in a tent beneath the stars, but no not without something over me.
K. School is starting up soon, or has for some, did you get a new pair of tennis shoes every year while you were in school? Er no. But I did get new school shoes.
L. What two flavors do you love that you would never want to taste at the same time? Cheddar Cheese and chocolate.
M. If you could shave a quote into a lions fur, what would it say? Nothing because yikes that's just cruel!
N. Did you ever accidentally walk in on your parents doing the nasty? Did you ever purposely walk in on them? Oh Hell no way! I have the awful feeling I might have heard them doing it. And that was enough for me. I've also had the misfortunate of walking in on my brothers' (not at the same time!). I have bad luck in this department it seems...
