Moose Musings

10:13pm: Yes, indeedy, yes indeedy. I was chatting to him on Skype and he mentioned I should get my butt out there and look for signs on doors to apply for jobs.

So I need to print me out some resumes and get on that.

In other news...not much...RPGing continues. And I made a macro from one of the scenes in the latest Merlin episode - but it's not exactly a spoiler so you can view it and tell me I'm going to Hell, LOL.

And now, Meme time!

Forgot to do the Sunday Seven last week apparently so here's two:

17/10/10

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Name seven TV moms you’re glad you didn’t have as your real mom.

Ummm...

1. Helen Morgandorffer - talk about being married to her job!
2. Endora from Betwitched - because seriously what a bwitch
3. Daphne Moon's mother
4. Susan from My Family - her cooking's atrocious.
5. ???

There's not enough bad mother's on TV.

24/10/10

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Name seven TV dads you’re glad you didn’t have as your real father.

1. Uther Pendragon - no seriously look him up!
2. Homer Simpson - the stranglings are a concern
3. Francis Griffin's father - what an ass
4. Peter himself - he means well, but no
5. George Constanza's father - he really is a nut bag
6. ???

And for some reason I can't think of any more.

Monday Movie Meme

Which I won't do because it's about horror movies, which I just don't watch, 'cause yikes!

The only one I ever watched all the way through was Dream Catcher and what the fuck was that shit? The world will never know.

And on that note, I best be off!

Goodnight all!

10:42pm: OMG...over dinner we were watching The 7:30 Report and there was a story on about woodchipping in Tasmania and the name of the guy who runs the Woodchopping Union or whatever it is had the last name 'Chipman'! LOL! I haven't laughed so much since the Gaming Minister was Mr. Gambol.

In other news, job prospects continue to suck, what's with that? I've had to call up the Disability Job Network, they're getting back to me tomorrow, I hope - which reminds me, tomorrow is Wednesday.

11:03pm: Ahem, back again, as I was writing that I just realised that the DVD of Invictus I rented for my father last week was due. So I had to go out in the car and return that. But now I'm back again.

So Memes!

Manic Monday

18/10/10

What work of art best describes your personality?

The Scream? LOL, no it's not that bad. Uh I dunno...there's so many works of arts out there. Hmmmm....I can't really think of one...except for The Scream, LOL.

What was the high point of last month?

Last month...uh...probably hanging out with the friends during the last weekend of September, hanging out with the friends always kicks ass! I need to do it more often.

What do you think is the single best decision you've made in your life so far?

Ahhh, gee, I dunno...making frineds with my friends. Because otherwise my life would be quite sad, even with the writing.

And the Shipping Meme!

Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?

I've never had that happen. I'm totally one of those people that don't mind over-saturation of my OTP, in fact I'll seek it out! Makes me go awwww. ;O)

( Getting down to the last three days! )

Righto, not much else to report, except I really need to get some new coloured socks, it's suprisingly more difficult to find them then you'd think. Very annoying. Will have to continue to investigate.

And on that note, I shall retire.

Goodnight!

10:29pm: I'm supposed to be applying to 10 per fortnight and admittedly I've been slacking what with the assignment and all, but there's also a rather big problem in terms of lack of stuff to actually apply for! I mean technically I think I'm supposed to go for anything and everything, but yeah a lot of those menial jobs I just wouldn't be able to do, like work in a warehouse touting boxes or being a waitress. This is quite a worry...I have to find six more to meet my obligations. No idea where I'm gonna find 'em.

In other news, I had to buy a mop and carry it home today because the one we had here fell apart (the mop head part and it wasn't one of those replacable ones) and I have to clean the bathroom floor. I'm wondering if I should do that tonight or tomorrow morning. Probably tonight because the people are coming over again tomorrow morning to sign the Rental Agreement because I forgot to have them do so today, plus I don't have a printer here to print it off.

After that excitement I go to my volunteer job, although I'll call first just to check, because yeah going all that way just to turn around and come back? Screw that.

Hmmm...not much else to report, although I'm still trying to work out how to pick up the car and whether I should return to my parents house tomorrow night. We'll have to see what goes down.

And now, Memes please!

Wednesday Wickedness

Martin Luther King Jnr

1. “A lie cannot live.” When was the last time you felt you were forced to lie?

Well...I sort of lied on the Centrelink form...but not exactly. More of half truth!

2. “A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.” What, besides the lives of your family, would you be willing to die for?

Geeze...I guess to protect someone else? I kind of hope I'd be the sort of person who'd try and help someone in mortal danger.

3. “A right delayed is a right denied.” Are there rights or freedoms that you’d give up to be safer?

The right to bear arms - we don't actually have that in Australia and thank God for that, fuck guns.

4. “All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.” When was the last time that you solved a problem of yours just to create another?

Well! I was rather unhappy the last few months at my old job...getting fired solved that...and now I'm unemployed. Er...fail?

5. “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” What do you have faith in?

God - no really, I'm sure He's up there...
Also my family and friends. :O)

6. “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” Do you believe things in generally will usually win out?

I think so...I mean tyrants like Saddam Hussien and Hitler have terrorised people but eventually the people have fought back and (hopefully) made the world a better place.

7. “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” When was the last time that you spoke out to help someone that you didn’t have to?

Uh...geeze...I dunno, I've fallen down on the job there Or maybe my friends and family just haven't needed help, LOL.

8. “It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.” Do you envision a time where the United States will not be at war? Why?

Well, I'm not American, but I hope so!

9. “Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.” Is there anything that you are bitter about that you cannot get over?

Not really, although I'm getting pretty bummed about the lack of job here.

10. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Do you take chances by speaking up even when it could cost you something?

Umm...not really...I kind of suck.

And The Shipping Meme!

Day 14 - What is your favorite book pairing?

Oooo, tough one...I'm gonna say Ron and Hermione, I love those two and their pickering, LOL. I had my fingers crossed that those two would get it together :OD And so they did and it was fabulous! :OD

( Almost to the halfway point! )

Hmmm, well I'm waiting for the Gymnastics to come back on here at the Commonwealth Games, I'm worried it's going to be on late, since like I said I really should get to bed early as I have to wake up early.

But them's the breaks I guess!

For now, though, I bid you all goodnight!

11:18pm: Yes indeed! I do so love coming to the apartment, once I move back I better make sure to keep it clean since the new carpet is really very nice and it'd suck to not be able to see it!

My mother dropped me over tonight because instead of coming over this afternoon I stayed at home for a belated birthday dinner for my big bro. Unfortunately, Mum's snowed under with work at the moment and just about missed it! After Dad went to all the trouble of cooking a delicious spaggetti dinner - he got some high-fibre spagetti, nice, as well as garlic bread which I overcooked a bit, but it was still yummy.

Mum did get home before the big bro had to depart and I got to give him the cupcake I made - there's cake left over too, but no-one wanted a slice right then. The big bro in fact took the cupcake home, I hope he eats it! I don't want to hear it's been found all mouldy after he goes back to Japan in October.

Speaking of which, due to the fact he has to go back a few days later then planned he can take my parents to the airport! Good to hear because I've previously mentioned my discomfort with the parentals new car and its oversenstive breaks. Plus driving through tunnels make me most uncomfortable these days. Dear me. I'll have to bring that up with the Pyschiatrist when I go see him on Monday.

Today was a busy one! But I'm now registered with those library job finding agencies and got lots of advice for how to spruce up my resume. I'm reminded that I need to find my transcript for my BA, since the actually graduation certificate is too huge to carry around. I know I have one, but I'm not sure where it's got too. I hope I don't have to order a new one, I bet that'll cost money.

Hmmm, for some reason I decided to go and look at some of my earlier LJ entries last night, made me all nostagic for the good old days of Uni...although admittedly I was still bitching about pretty much the same thing (lack of job, procrastination), LOL. Still! It's always interesting reading about past me.

And now, to the Memes!

Friday's Question

17/09/2010

What is the funniest thing you have ever heard a kid say or what is the funniest thing you have accidentally said to/around a kid?

Gee, I have no idea since I don't really hang out with kids, although a couple of weeks ago for Mum's birthday we went to my Grandparents place and my cousin Mack was there - he's 6 years old now and really hyperactive, LOL! I did say something was 'crap' in front of him, and Mum told me off. I better never babysit him...I wouldn't want my bad language to rub off!

Friday5

Nagging

1.What kinds of nagging injuries do you have?

Well, my knees sometimes hurt, it's really annoying! When I was a kid they sometimes hurt so badly I cried. But it's not really from an injury, so...
However, the cause of the pain my tight muscles often do result in strains and aches in my legs and stuff.
I also have weak ankles, I once really hurt one of them when (I kid you not) I stepped off the curb. I don't even know how that happened.

2.What long-procrastinated task is nagging at you lately?

Nothing long-procrastinated fortunately! I really need to get my act together with my second assignment, but I haven't been sitting on my hands for too long on that. But I better not dilly dally too much longer.

3.In what way have you been a nag to someone else?

Whenever I see my big bro I often nag him to talk to me, because he's lame and doesn't like to. The ass.

4.Who in your life is a world-class nag?

Sometimes my parents can really piss me the Hell off...but it's usually well justified.

5.Nag is such an ugly word. What would be a nicer way to describe someone who exhibits nagging tendencies?

Uh...prodder? Encourager? Heh.

The (Other) Friday Five

17/09/10

1) What is your favorite mode of travel? (Car, train, plane, etc). Train! Because it's convienent, I can read or write on it and it generally gets me where I want to go.
Planes are also fun! Although I'm still too nervy to get on one by myself.

2) Where is the northernmost place you've traveled? The southernmost?

Somewhere in Scotland I guess, Loch Ness? We may have gone further up, but I'm not sure.
As for the southernmost, uh...Adelaide I guess. Unless Auckland is lower than that...I can't be bothered to check, LOL.

3) What is the last place you visited for the first time?

Well, the building the One Umbrella is at if you want to get technical. I haven't done any travelling this year due to lack of funds, so that's pretty much as far as I can go there.

4) Of all the places you've traveled, which is your favorite?

Oh man, that's so tough...if I really, really had to pick...Disneyland California, because it's freakin' Disneyland! I'd go there even now when I'm too scared to get on rides in case of motion sickness.

5) Where would you most like to travel to next?

New York! Some day...some day...

And the 30 Days Meme!

Day 25 – A first, in great detail

A first what? I guess it's wide open here...well, I'll go with the first time I saw Back to the Future! It was actually around 1996 or 1997, Dad had on tape, but I'd never watched it. BTTF II has been on TV the year before we left Dubbo for Sydney (1994) and Dad had encouraged me to watch it, but why would I watch Part II when I hadn't seen Part I? I think Parts II and III must have been shown and I must have caught some of it, because until I saw those movies some of the events in them were all mixed up in my head like one minute they were in the future, the next in the Old West.

But I digress! My brothers and I were home one day and insanely bored, when the little bro stumbled across the tape and we decided "What the Hell" and put it on. I wasn't totally enthralled at first - especially since the tape was old and the quality at least in the first 10 minutes was not good (eventually the first 10 minutes would be unwatchable! It was years before I bought my own copy and could watch them again - man how cheap I am?), but I stuck with it and then young George McFly and his stories showed up.

Oh my God! It was like looking into a weird mirror! Poor George, loving to write, but too petrified to show anyone what he wrote - I was just like that! My brothers saw it too and teased me mercilessly (gotta love 'em :OP) but from that moment I was hooked! It became my favourite movie of all time and my first finished story was a BTTF inspired story with the theme of parallel worlds (incidentally Sliders came out around that time and I was pissed because it looked like I'd stolen the idea or something - I hadn't!) And even though I've been obsessed with many other things in the 13 years since I always come back to that film and its characters.

I'm soooo glad I was bored that day and watch it otherwise...well, who knows!

( And all the rest )

Well, I should be off, but! I have a Keanu Reeves tale for anivad, I was watching Millioniare Hot Seat this evening and a lady came on who told a story (every contestant has a little tale to tell before they get to answering questions) about while working in Sydney during the filming of The Matrix she had Keanu Reeves hold a bus for her so she wouldn't miss it. They'd just been filming around the corner and were taking a break I guess. But they were in costume and the image of Neo in his trenchcoat holding up the bus - LOL. But how nice of him.

Righto, five minutes to 12 so I best be off now.

Goodnight all!

11:26pm: Whenever I go shopping with my mother we always end up buying more stuff to wear! Fortunately it's from the 'Recycled' clothing shop so it's not full-price, but still! Having said that though, they're very nice, I'm having them taken in and will pick them up next Thursday. I'm looking forward to it!

In other news, today's library work was fun as usual! Although I still need a paying job! Apparently more than 50,000 new full-time jobs were created in August, they must have been in the mining sector or something, because I haven't seen anything like that reflected in the Careers Section.

Actually it might be teaching jobs...but then those aren't new ones they're old teachers leaving and new ones needed to replace them. Unless the schools are getting bigger...

Anywho! I've got stuff to do this weekend! One of my friend's is coming to spend the night at my apartment, we're going to see the Science Revue (one of those Uni skit show things), we're sitting in the front row! I hope we won't get wet, LOL.

And now! Memes:

Booking Through Thursday

Disaster!

You’ve just dropped your favorite, out-of-print book into a bathtub, ruining it completely … What do you do now?

Well, after screaming my head off in horror I'd do my best to salvage it, I dropped a book in the bath once, and it was OK, except for the fact that after the pages dried they expanded and fanned out.

But if it's really and truly gone then it's onto the net to eBay and Amazon to find a copy!

3x Thursday

Change

List 3 changes (major or minor) that you’ve made in your life lately (pick your own time-frame)

Uh...man...I don't really have any - which is really sad...except trying to face the throwing up phobia, I'm not sure how it's going though since I've just started, fingers crossed though!

And now the 30 Day Meme!

Day 17 – Your favorite memory, in great detail

You know, I'm never particularly good at these sorts of questions, it's not that I don't remember stuff, it's just hard to do it justice when writing it out. Which is terrible for me to say as a writer!

Anywho! My favourite memory would have to be visiting Disneyland! Because it's Disneyland! Plus it was the first thing we did on our big family trip around the world in 1993. It was actually around this time of year and the weather was really nice and sunny. The Hotel we were staying at had a pool and we swam in it once we recovered from our jet lag.

Anywho! Disneyland was like all the holiday brochures had promised! In those days I didn't get motion sick or rather I wasn't afraid I'd get motion sick (still had the throwing up phobia though) so when we rode Space Mountain (except for Dad) I sat in the front and sceamed my head off!

We did the Small World ride and the 20,000 Leagues under the Sea although the magic of the later was rather ruined when we took the sky car later in the day and saw the damn thing just ran on rails! I was an idealistic youth.

We didn't see the parade, at least I don't remember that and sometimes it's a bit hard to seperate the memory of LA Disneyland from Paris Disneyland, because we went to both!

But I do recall we went on the Indiana Jones's Log Ride, the line for that was ridiculously long. I'm also remembering a lot of camcorders about (of course).

For some reason though, I'm pretty sure we didn't catch the monorail, quite an oversight!

And with the time getting close to midnight, I'm gonna wrap it up there.

( To come! )

And now I'm off to bed! Goodnight all!

9:47pm: Well I don't have much to say for today...I did go to that interview though and it went really well! There's two other people aside from me being interviewed for the job so I've got a 33% chance of getting it! LOL...I think...my maths may suck.

I wore a skirt to the interview, which was only a problem because it was quite chilly today so brrrr! After the interview I went hunting for a shower cap for Mum's birthday (which I found), some chocolate for me (ditto) and I popped by St. Vincent De Paul and got myself a rather nice (and longer) skirt - which is more fitted (my current ones seem to make me look a bit boxy) and Michael J Fox's second book. The later was only 4 bucks! What a bargain I say.

( So that was not too exciting day so let's have the Memes! )

Right and the 30 Day Meme!

Day 11 – Your siblings, in great detail

When I was learning to write in Kindergarten I had to write about my family in which I said "I have two bothers". Oh we laughed :OP

Anyway, yes, I have two brothers, one older and one younger.

My older brother is Michael, who's just 16 months older than me. He's a solicitor now, as well as married to Rui - who lives in Japan (he'll be going back there soon himself).
Now, the big bro has always been ridiculously smart, good at English and Maths and Science. Kind of gave me the shits because whilst I was good at English, I was awful at Maths so it was like he was always upstaging me.
He can also be terribly standoffish! I know I can be a bit weird, but he seems to take it as like a personal insult.
Having said that though, only I and the family can make fun of him :OP He's my brother after all!
I'd like to know more about what he gets up to, what living in Japan is like and stuff like that, but he's not very talkative to me. :O( Strange man.

My younger brother is Chris, otherwise known as Burg, he's 16 months younger than me. He's smart I think, but he never went well academically. I'm not sure what that's all about, but he didn't go to Uni, but he's hoping to be chef. Right now he works as a waiter at a local pub.
He's got into a fair bit of trouble, but often for really dumb shit.
Now, unlike with my older brother I tend to watch out for the Burg and defend him, he's a mumbler, which annoys my parents. Probably the older sibling syndrome. :OP
At the moment he's residing in my apartment, because he can afford to pay for it. He keeps it clean and everything so that's good.
He does however smoke, which is really very stupid, I hope he kicks the habit sooner rather than later!

( Still to come! )

Wow I've spent a while on this entry! That's what great detail and a new meme does!

Goodnight all!

11:25pm: My brain has gone into lack of concentration mode, so annoying...I hate it when this happens.

Anywho, today I didn't do too much, but I did arrange to go to an 2nd interview with the real estate people for the Saturday Receptionist role. It's on Friday afternoon which kind of puts a kink in my going to Newtown plan, but it'll probably work out OK.

I also have to see if I can invite my friends along for a get together at my apartment on Saturday, I wonder if I can manage to get them to come by, I've got one friend lined up, but I don't know about any others. Better make sure I call 'em!

And now...Memes time...

Monday Movie Meme

This week's movie topic is all about Child Actors...

Share on your blog the roles you've enjoyed from the younger set.

Hmmm...let's see...well the babies in the Look Who's Talking put on a pretty good performance (not the voices obviously :OP).
And...hmmm...dunno never really thought about to be honest with you, I don't watch many movies with kids in the main role.

Wrote a sentence I'd be so damn rich! LOL.
Seriously...for every time I checked LJ, I'd still be rich I think.

What do you think about while you exercise?

Er I hardly ever exercise I'm afraid...usually I go walking and I'm thinking about various stuff when I do that. Making up stories in my head sometimes.

What are 5 things you love about your spouse/partner/significant other (or children or pet)?

Man I don't have any of those :O( Although that reminds me of the Plant, I wonder how it's going? Besides I suck at these sorts of questions anyway...I can never think up 5 things.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Name seven of your top annoyances of late.

1. Lack of job
2. Dish washing (pisses me off! I'm no good at it!)
3. ????

Hmmm...I dunno where all my annoyances went...this is good news.

And here's the 30 Day Meme!

Day 07 – Your best friend, in great detail

Well I have more than one best friend - I have an entire group - go me! :OD Plus I'm not sure if they'd want me to go into a lot of detail about them on the internet.

But let it be known that they've all got great senses of humour and they can get along with me even if I am seriously annoying sometimes. :OP

I'm a bit of a procrastinator so I often don't call them for quite a while, but whenever we all get a chance to meet up, good times are had with plenty of LOLs.

And for that, I say thank you!
( The rest! )

And now I say goodnight!

10:19pm: Well, interview rather, tomorrow at 12:45pm. Fingers and toes crossed yet again.

This morning I went to church to do the Powerpoint for my mother. It was all right, except I had to start off some of the antiphons (there wasn't any music so those are said instead) and me talking in front of crowds in large buildings isn't my idea of a good time. I had a lot of trouble getting the words out!

After that I went and got myself some more recordable DVDs at Aldi, then onto the library and I borrowed some interesting books, looking forward to reading those!

Not much else to report after that, in fact I think I sat down too much today because my butt hurt, LOL.

There was an interesting show on the SBS - about sexual attractiveness, cool stuff, they even had this old couple on there. You gotta love the old couples, they make you go 'awwww.'


And due to the lack of Tuesday Memes and because I'm generally interested here's that 30 Day Meme thing that's going around:

Day 01 – Introduce yourself, in great detail

Well! I'm Monica, known as Moose in real life and Anonymoose on the net. I'm 26 years old and am currently living with my parents because I'm unemployed. It's getting quite annoying, the lack of job, I've had lots of interviews, but I never seem to be able to get the job!
That aside, I love to write stories and read all sorts of books. I also have an obsessional nature and tend to get caught up in a fandom, I've gone from BTTF to Robotech, to George III, to Torchwood, to a particular Agatha Christie novel!
I'm emetophobic, but I'm about to try and get over that with my pyschiatrist - wish me luck.
I'm not very active I'm afraid, but I managed to avoid childhood fatness by being obssessed with trampolining, LOL! I bounced for hours everyday!
I love crime documentaries and documentaries about disaster investigations. I love words, but I suck ass at maths.

And I think that's a good lot of detail?

( The rest! )

And a quiz:

You Are a Cat

You are agile and mysterious. You have you own way of navigating the world. You enjoy exploring new ideas and places, but you also like to be able to retreat quickly. You are a bit standoffish and aloof, but you aren't shy. In fact, you are brave and courageous. Always resourceful and fearless, you can handle any situation. You are a survivor.

Er...no. Not like me at all.

And damn! I didn't realise there were two ad breaks in this program, I'll have to re-record it, because wants the point if having something on DVD if it's got ads in it?

Anywho, I better go down and check that the kitchen is relatively clean...which I just did and nicked myself slightly on a knife...ow!

So to all I say goodnight!

This morning not long after I woke up my arm felt itchy, and now I've got welts and itchness, but I have no idea what could have bit me! Plus I forgot to bring anti-itch cream to the apartment with me, and I don't really want to buy another tube because we've all ready got some. But I may have to if it's still itchy tomorrow.

In other news, I may be out tomorrow because it's the election and applied to work at one of the polling places (you get paid for that). I'm on the alternate list so I might get a call up tomorrow morning.

Which also means I have to go to bed shortly because voting starts at 8am so I would probably get a call way earlier than that.

So! Memes!

Friday's Question

If someone was visiting your town for the first time, what local things would you make sure to show them/have them experience?

The Harbour of course! :OD Most beautiful harbour in the world and if you come in during New Year's Eve you can see the fireworks! Also the best in the world.

Friday Fill-In

And...here we go!

1. Laughter is the best medicine.

Friday5

Mint!

1. How picky are you about toothpaste? Not super picky, but I hate spearmint, it burns I tell you.

2. What’s the best cooked dish you’ve had that included mint? I don't like mint at all, so none.

3. How far would you have to go from where you are right now to get a breath mint? If it's mint flavoured I'm not going anywhere for it.

4. Got any gum? Nay, I used to have some fruit-flavoured gum, but I'm not sure where it went.

5. What’s something you keep in mint condition? My books if I can manage it, but I usually can't.

Four For Friday

20/08/2010

Q1 - Stop and Count: How many cosmetics or personal care products do you use over the course of an average day? Well aside from shower wash and deordourant, nothing else.

Q2 - Deeds: What percentage of good deeds do you feel you do out of generosity versus the ones you do out of the avoidance of guilt? Ummm...I don't really do good deads out of guilt, although I really should donate some money to Pakistan.

Q3 - Find Me: Facebook launched a location-based check-in tool this week called Places. Similar to Foursquare, Facebook Places allows you to share where you are, find out where your friends are and discover new places. Would you want your friends and others on Facebook to know where you are? Well, most of them know where I am, but I wouldn't want the person on the street to know!

Q4 - Happiness: A couple of years ago (on April 18, 2008) I asked "How do you define happiness?" Mixing it up a bit, what do you believe is the secret to you happiness? Not sweating the small stuff too much...or something like that.

The (Other) Friday Five

Cards

1. What's your favorite playing card game? Why? Canaaasta! Because it's a kick arse card game! Even if I can't seem to win against M, even when I'm ahead!

2. Poker: five card draw, seven card stud, or Texas Hold 'Em? I don't know how to play poker, it doesn't really look like my bag.

3. Where gambling is involved what is the highest amount of money you'd bet on a hand of cards? N/A.

4. Have you ever had your tarot read with playing cards? If not would you want to? If so was it accurate, interesting, or just plain lame? Nah, I tried to read my own cards once, but considering I didn't actually know anything I was just making up shit.

5. What is on the back of your playing cards (the swirly red/blue design or is it a specialty deck with photographs)? I've got lots of different cards, but they're none of them are really fancy, at least on the back. The canasta cards M and I use are Japanese themed.

Righto!

Not much else to report, except I've got a job interview on Monday, fingers and toes crossed yet again!

And now I better be off.

Goodnight all!

10:32pm: There's this show on every afternoon called It's Academic which is basically Sale of the Century for kids, and I enjoy watching it. And alas, today my friends, a golden Fandom bubble was punctured! One of the rounds on the show is a 'true and false' one where there's three different topics to choose from.

And today one of them was Back to the Future Part I.

And those punk kids didn't go for it! You bastard kids...Instead we got stuck with wierd foods or some shit like that. Shame, shame.

Although I suppose for the kids on there BTTF is movie that came out 10 years before they were born...I is old. :O(

In other news, I didn't work on the assignment today, instead I tried to pass the typing test so I could work in that election job, but alas I'm not fast enough with the numeric and couldn't do it! Dang.

I've put my name forward as a polling assistant, but I'm a bit worried if I get it if only because I might not be able to finish that dumb assignment. Sigh...

Oh well, at least I'll be able to go to the Sydney Uni library on the weekend, if I can't find sources there I'm definitely doing it wrong.

Anywho tomorrow is libray day so I better Meme and run:

Wednesday Wickedness!

Hugh Grant

1. “Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.” How boring do you think your life is?

Umm...to the outsider, real boring, however, I enjoy surfing the net and making up stories in my head, so it's not that bad for me. I really need to get a job.

2. “But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way.” Can you do any accents? If not, do you know someone who is good at it?

Aside from maybe Fran Descher since we both have highpitched voices I should say no.
And I can't say I do...except you know people on TV. Go James Marsters!

3. “For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it.” What technology did you at first fear that you now could not live without?

Can't think of any.

4. “I cling to the fantasy that I could have done something more creative. Like actually writing a script, or writing a book. But the awful truth is that I... probably can't!” Do you, or have you ever, thought you have a book in you?

I do! Although whether they're any good is a question for us all. ;O)

5. “I had Courtney Love's left bosom out of her dress on my plate in front of me. It was extraordinary. I didn't know where to look.” Have you ever been in a similar type of situation?

Hell no...yikes...well actually, at the Year Six End of Year celebration thing some dickhead pulled my swimsuit down, fortunately I was facing away from the shore at the time, but yeah, that was seriously humilating.

6. “The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather.” How does the weather effect where you live?

Well, I wouldn't want to live in a cold climate! But it's generally very nice in Sydney, so I can get by.

7. “When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.” How about you? Are you more interested in you favorite artist’s next work, or the TMZ side of it all?

Their next work, because the other thing is well I was going to say you can't watch that, but with some of them you probably can - but yeah. I can safely say I want to know what they'll be acting in next!

8. “Women are frightening. If you get to 41 as a man, you're quite battle-scarred.” Have you ever felt “battled-scarred” by a relationship or relationships in general? If yes, do tell.

N/A.

9. “You know everyone loves to be the villain.” Do you tend to root for the bad guy?

Not usually actually! Captain John is the exception.

10. “I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.” What have you failed at and learned a lot from?

Getting a job! But what have I learned? Well, I'm much better at interviews now! I'll get there eventually!

Hmmm, nothing more to report, so I should be off now.

Goodnight all!
