Moose Musings

10:30pm: Not mine though, my friend's, although it wasn't exactly her's either... We got a good meal though and my friend got to catch up with her classmates.

After that she came back to my place to see the new wardrobe and we watched one of the Futurama movies. I cleaned up a bit before she came over, and I think I've kicked up a whole lot of dust because I'm sniffly. At least it better be dust.

Anyway, let's bring on Memes:

Friday Question

1/4/11

What kind of computer do you use? How long have you been using it? Do you like it?

I use an Inspiron 1520 which I brought back in 2007 when it was top of the line and kick ass! Man I love this laptop, it's got a green cover and a fabulous video card and I can fit lots of stuff on it. Ah good times.

11:02pm: Only that I feel ridiculously tired...I think I went to bed much too late last night, I'll have to catch up tonight, because yawwwwn!

Next Tuesday I'll be going to the Vinnies Christmas party at a local Thai resturuant, which will be something new for me, I hope I'll be able to get something that isn't too spicey though.

Anyway, whatever, let's have some memes before I turn in:

Friday's Question

10/12/10

Do you like wrapping gifts? Are you good at it? Do you have any gift-wrapping tips to share?

I do enjoy gift wrapping, butI don't have any great tips...you should ask my mother, she's the gift wrapping Queen. She can do it without having to use sticky tape or anything like that.

Friday Fill-In

So...here we go!

1. What in the world is wrong with my nose, this seriously pisses me off.

2. After tonight's dinner, I feel well fed.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include RPGing and going to Church and Sunday, I want to hang with some friends maybe, I'm not sure really...!

Friday5

Excursion

1.Of excursions you remember taking in elementary school, which was your favorite?

To the Gold Fields near Dubbo, it was lots of fun! We went gold panning and saw an old timey school house at work and what not.

2.Of excursions you remember taking in elementary school, which was your least favorite?

I didn't have one, it was always fun to get out of school for the day and see something new.

3.What seems like a really good school excursion destination that nobody seems to take?

I haven't got a clue...

4.Which of your recent activities might pass for an educational excursion?

Ah I dunno...I think I went to a museum a whie back, but I totally can't remember.

5.When a sack lunch was needed for a field trip, what was most likely in your brown paper bag? How about now?

Well, as a school student in Australia I brought a packed lunch every day so it was mostly the same old same old, unless I got the chance to buy something from a cafe, which was more likely to happen in high school. And it's pretty much the same now.

Four For Friday

Q1 - Protection: Back in August, police officers raiding a marijuana farm in western Canada were shocked to find nearly a half-dozen bears guarding the crop. If you could train a grizzly bear to guard something of yours (something aside from your family or another loved one), what would you want guarded.

Bears, seriously? Waht the fuck? That sounds like an accident waiting to happen! I wouldn't want a bear guarding any of my possessions! I wouldn't trust myself to be able to get to them!

Q2 - Compromise: Once upon a time, it was considered a good thing when a President from one political party and Congressional leaders from another reached a compromise agreement on major issues like taxes and aiding the unemployed. But when that happened this week, all hell broke loose, with many from the President's own party feeling betrayed and threatening full revolt. Even some member of the other party are unhappy with a package that is loaded with their favorite dish, tax cuts. Have you been following this issue, and if you have... what's your opinion about the compromise?

Huh...what...I'm vaguely aware of it, but I really don't know the details so I don't have any opinion really.

Q2 - Recline: On a recent flight from Los Angeles to Denver, Brian Dougal did what many of us have done... he clicked the button on his armrest and leaned back. Upon doing so, however, the passenger behind him -- identified in a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of Colorado as Tomislav Zelenovic -- became so infuriated with the invasion of his space that he assaulted Dougal, which of course resulted in Zelenovic's immediate arrest once the plan landed in Denver. Reclining seats on airplanes: Are they a privilege or a right?

Well, you should probably ask first, but actually assualting someone? That's not cool, I mean geeze man, on a flight back from Bali I had to put up with German tourists shoving seat backs into my face for five and a half hours. And I couldn't recline my seat so I had to stay asleep on the tray table. So suck it up.

Q4 - Leak: WikiLeaks, the organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous news sources and leaks online, now boasts more than 1,100,000 Facebook fans. Have you ever visited Wikileaks.org? If not, why? If you have visited the website, were you surprised or underwhelmed by what you found?

Nah...I hear that website won't work anymore what with the shutting down of the servers and what not. But nah, I haven't gone, the papers have mentioned most of the interesting stuff that's in it anyway. I might go one day....

The (Other) Friday Five

Old Plans/Dreams

1. What job do you have and why do you like/hate it?

I work at a newsagency, and I like it because I have lots of interesting new tasks and what not to do. Good times, good times.

2. What did you want to be when you "grew up" as a kid?

Please see my 400 other responses to this.

3. Is the job you have now, anything like what you imagined as a kid?

N/A.

4. Do you have a 5 year career plan?

Well, hopefully I'll be working in a library or something. Fingers crossed.

5. In order to get the job of your dreams, is there ANYTHING you WOULDN'T do? Why?

Sleep with someone, pay someone off...lots of things. Because...um...wee...gross.

Hell, I'm buggered, sleep is needed...I shall retire.

Goodnight all!

10:17pm: So here I am at the apartment, which means it's Crime doco time! We're certainly got a crop of complete nutcases tonight. People shooting people in broad daylight for the dumbest reasons. People killing other people and then burning the body. I tell you, if you watch too many of these you'll start getting paranoid!

Anywho! I came over here earlier than usual and went out to the library since the little bro was still here, I also went to the shop to get some much needed items for the apartment, including loofahs for the shower! And also junk food...shame on me. But they're so sweet and tasty. :OP

Although the table and chair set up here is really not ideal, my left arm is all ready a bit sore. This can't bode well.

In further body news, my nose continues to be uncomfortable...so annoying...the cream has come out. I hope it gets fixed soon.

And now, memes please!

Friday's Question

13/08/10

When you were a kid, what did you want to be “when you grew up”? What do you do now? What do you want to be “when you grow up” now (the second time)?

I've discussed this...a lot. So you're all clear.
But I want to be a librarian one day! C'mon me, I can do it!

Friday Fill-In

And...here we go!

1. Music is fabulous! Except when you get two lines of a song stuck in your head - as I do.

2. A nice bowl of cereal is what I like first thing in the morning. (Although I won't be having it tomorrow because there's no cereal in the apartment.)

3. The first thing I said this morning was: "Uuuugh!" I wasn't annoyed I just felt like answering my mother that way, LOL.

4. Chicken nuggets and shoestring chips; it's what was for dinner tonight.

5. It's all been a pack of liiiies. (And I can't remember what song that's from...not the one stuck in my head.

6. Finishing up the memes is what I feel like doing right now.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching the crime docos, tomorrow my plans include going to the university library and applying for jobs and Sunday, I want to enjoy lunch back at the parentals with the grandparents and the big bro!

Friday5

No Superstitious Here!

1. What’s something good that there are thirteen of?

A baker's dozen of donuts or other similiarly sweet treats! ;O)

2. Have you known any black cats?

Nay.

3. Among people you know, who seems to have an uncanny knack for games of chance?

Not that I know of...it's a family joke that Dad won part of a lottery way back in the 70s and used up all the family's luck, alas.

4. It seems to me that while people seem to have all kinds of tokens of good luck, such as lucky articles of clothing or lucky rituals or lucky figurines, nobody has a lucky food. What would make a really good good-luck food, and what would seem to be a bad-luck food?

A good luck food? Cupcakes of course! :OD
A bad luckk food? Prunes...that could end badly...

5. Not that any of us believes in luck, but what’s something that happened this week that seems to have been very lucky for you?

Hmmm...I can't say I can think of anything outstandingly lucky, but I did get a call to come in for a job interview next week at the Parish Support Unit in the same building a volunteer at. I tried to get a job there once before, but I wasn't volunteering the library then, so that could be a boost! Fingers and toes crossed.

And that's all of the memes.

Goddamnit, my eyelashes are falling out at an alarming rate and getting stuck in my eyeballs, it fucking hurts. What's that all about? Eyelashes are supposed to protect your eyes. Sigh...

Righto, I've got nothing more to say really so I shall be off.

Goodnight all!

8:31pm: Illness is an ass...on the plus side my throat is better, on the downside my head's all stuffed up now and I'm having trouble hearing! Also, I feel tired and really thirsty.

I also feel I've been neglecting my Captain Johns, this is just terrible! I haven't neglected my Sims though, I was just playing them today! But now I should do something with my Johns lest they fade away!

( But I better catch up on the memes: )

Wow, that's taken a while...but then I did go an a have a bath.

Man, I need to take a Sudafed or something...my nose is running and it's totally pissing me off.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for today.

Goodnight to you all!

Reach for the laser with Antic's Sims-ulator!

9:55pm: Aww man, I'm sooo tired today, I don't know why, I think it has something to do with all the dust in my room. I cleaned it up today because my Aunt is coming on Wednesday, dust makes my nose go nuts! But I'm not sure why that would make me tired. But it's not like I haven't got enough sleep! I better not be getting sick (knock on wood!).

Either way this doesn't bode well because I have to work from 6pm to 11pm and I can't be falling asleep can I? Hopefully I'll be more awake tomorrow.

Anyway Meme time:

Saturday Six

1. Hot Coffee or Iced Coffee…and why?

Neither I don't like the taste of coffee be it hot or cold.

2. Front Porch or Rear Patio…and why?

The back patio I guess...because when you sit out the front anyone could look at you, LOL.

3. Dog or Cat…and why?

Not sure really...but I wouldn't mind having a cat I suppose.

4. Blackberry or iPhone…and why?

Blackberry because I don't care for Apple...I've never forgiven them for those no-button mouses.

5. Morning or Night…and why?

Well usually I like the night life or the afternoon life, but right now, I'm sleeeepy as anything.

6. Beef or Chicken…and why?

Oh wow...I love them both...hmmm....I guess...sausages probably because I just love 'em!

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now, zzzzzs are needed!

Goodnight all!

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Dust

Reach for the laser with Antic's Sims-ulator!

9:24pm: Well, I feel suitably shitty today. This morning not long after going outside I developed a runny nose and I was constantly sneezing. I had no idea what the fuck was causing it until I finally watched the news and heard that another one of those dust storms had come in overnight. Nowhere near as bad as the one that made everything red, but bad enough to set off my allergies.

Now I've got a sore nose, chapped lips and a stomachache. I am NOT happy.

On the other hand, I managed after many false starts to get writing on my NaNo. I'm almost at 50,000 words at Marek hasn't even graduated yet! LOL, I'm planning to put it up on guns_n_poodles when I'm finished - get some readership - but should I cut it down majorly before then? Please advise.

Oh and I'm only 2% away from being a winner!

49187 / 50000 words. 98% done!

Man should I take a Sudafed even if I don't have a headache, it seems a little extreme. Plus I don't want to iritate my stomach any further.

( Here's some memes )

Righto! That should do for today, although now I'm wondering about timelines again...for Captain John.

Oh timelines, you do annoy!

Goodnight to you all.

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Dust

Reach for the laser with Antic's Sims-ulator!

2:10pm: Really, I feel totally icky from the cleaning because all this dust...ewww...

So Mum came over to pick up the boxes, the problem was I hadn't packed them all because most of the stuff still in my apartment is so small and I really wanted to put them in smaller boxes to they wouldn't be crushed.

As a result she got a little annoyed at me, but we managed to get enough boxes packed for Mum not to feel like she's wasted her time. She said though that she won't be back until I finish packing up all the rest of the stuff here. Not sure how much longer that will take, every so often I have to take a break because my stomach continues to be a complete ass.

Anyway, here's an interesting meme thing that I saw on docsgirl LJ:

Put your music player on shuffle and write down the first lines of the first twenty songs that come up. The first line of the twenty-first song is your title.

If I Could Turn the Page

This thing called love
I, I just died in your arms tonight
I've been meaning to tell you
I wake up every morning, stumble out of bed
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
We're no strangers to love
If a boy had a chance with someone like you
You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
Oh Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind
Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find...
We a life, we had a love
Do you wanna go
All that time I was searching
We skip the light fandango
Won't you come see about me
I love myself, I want you to love me.
I come home in the morning light
Light go out and I can't be seen
It started with a kiss
I like the way that you took advantage.

LOL, that's kinda weird, but judging from the weirdness that passes for a song these days it'd probably work. ;OP

Not much else to report except I'll probably have to go out and buy something for dinner because I'm pretty much out of food now.

Humbugs!

Anyway, tht's all I have to say about that.

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Dustiness

9:30pm: Aww, how can you not love the Doubles Tennis when the players are wearing matching outfits! Like the Bryan brothers...whoever they're playing against though, fail because they're not wearing matching outfits, and yes one is Indian and the other is white, but you can still try you know!

Oh wait! I prejudge, the other dudes ARE matching, with wristbands and everything, yay for matching!

In other news I've been working in Sims 2 Body Shop on Torchwood Sims and now I'm getting a sore wrist, damn you mouse! Damn you! On the plus side I only have to make Owen and also, I found Jack's outfit on ModtheSims2, I thought I was gonna have to make it, which can only cause further wrist ache.

Anywho, I shall play Sims 2 tomorrow stick 'em all together (I've got some sort of download that lets me change names, so they won't all have the same last name) and see what Capt John will do to them, or perhaps the other way around...Ianto's still got a grudge...LMAO!

( Hey, look! Memes! )

Damn, my nose is irritated.

And with the wrist and all, I should go and rest it and exercise it a bit so I don't get stuffed.

LOL, one of these guys playing the Doubles is called Bhupety and it's the commentators favourite name, they mention it every chance they get! If I was in a drinking game I'd be on the floor by now.

Anywho, have a good night!

10:20pm: Where's my nose cream dang it, I can't remember where I last saw it, which is bad because I need it. I can find the box it came in, but not the actual ointment, this sucks man.

Yawn, I be tired, I was kinda hoping to get a bit further with the NaNo, but I think I'll turn in.

With my new enthusiasm I'm now at:

14,105 / 50,000 (28.2%)

All right, go me!

And only one Meme is up today:

Wednesday Weirdness #19

2/9/08

1.) Someone dares you to eat two cooked bulls testicles for 1,500 dollars. They're fried, topped with nacho cheese, belly button lint, lima beans, sweat rung out from a dirty sock and maple syrup and you have to eat it all. Are you going to eat it for the cash or pass?

Oh fuck that. No way is that going anywhere near my mouth, I'd probably die trying to do so. Eww.

2.) If you were not getting enough sex in your relationship, how would you handle it? Would you cheat on your significant other?

Well I'd certainly hope I'd be able to talk to my significant other about it, and I wouldn't immediately decide to go out and cheat on them because that's not cool. Also I like to think I wouldn't want to have sex with someone I don't care about.

3.) Would you cheat if you knew you would never be caught? Why or why not?

No, because that's lame.

4.) If you could get rid of any of the late night talk show hosts and replace them with anyone you want, what late night persona would you get rid of and who would you replace them with?

Eh, I don't really care...I'd like to get rid of those pain in the ass "You can win a thousand dollars if you anwser this easy question" shows, damn they're annoying.

5.) If you could get rid of one day time talk show, which one would you pick and why?

Don't watch 'em enough to care.

6.) Where is your favorite places on the body to be kissed? Favorite places to kiss?

N/A. Although kissing on a beach under the full moon sounds romantic...awwww!

7.) Do you watch porn? How does your significant other feel about that?

Nah, from what little I've seen of it it's like really not my bag.

Well, like I said bed is calling and I need to find my nose cream because this is really pissing me the Hell off.

Good luck on your NaNo's people!

Goodnight all!

I don't know what to do about it...last time I went to the doctor they gave me a script for this nose ointment, but I have no idea where it got to. Plus it didn't seem to work so...how's that supposed to work?

Ehh, damnit.

Happy New Year!

1. How was your Christmas for 2007?

Great! See the entries for more details.

2. Did you do anything to celebrate the new year?

3. Come on...be honest...How much did you end up drinking New Years Eve night? LOL!

Nothing but water. :OP

The Whenever They Put It Up Three

Happy New Year, DailyThree Friends!

My resolution for 2008 is to be more consistent with questions on a daily basis. Let's see how I do! That's good to know!)

1. How are you/did you spend your New Year's Eve?

See my 1st of January post, can't be bothered to reiterate.

Unreliable cars...and fortunately, I can! :O)

Stop all the violence! Have you heard what's going on in Kenya right now? It's appalling.
About me personally...be more neat and tidy, the apartment really is a joke...

Bonus Question: What event, accomplishment or thing from 2007 do you most want to celebrate?

Getting (and holding down) a full-time job, go me!

Well, that's all I have to say for now...work tomorrow for a few hours so now I shall lay me down to sleep!
