I'm A Monarchist, Bitches!
Apr. 21st, 2008 08:54 pm6:54pm: Indeed! Which is a bit embarrassing because Alexander Downer (an asshat from the old Government) is one. I don't want to be associated with that guy!
But yeah I don't want Australia to become no freakin' republic. Apart from anything else, it seems like a big waste of time. I mean, it's not like the Queen comes down here and takes our money or anything like that. If we go republic we'll have to change all our money - which will cost a heap! And they might change the flag (and believe you me, when they had a competition to design a new flag back during the Republician debate in 1996 - they were horrifying!)
So yeah this seems to be a case of change for change's sake. Like there's no good reason to do it, but it'll make us feel cool.
Won't make me feel cool though! I'll be really sad if we go republic, all our British ties severed! George III would be so bummed!
It's Queen Elizabeth's birthday today actually, she's the oldest British monarch (actually she passed that milestone a while back), but she still has a few more years to go before surpassing the record set by Queen Vic's reign.
I'm reporting all this from my apartment. It's nice to be back although the antispetic I accidentally spilt on the stove the other day stunk the place out.
And alas I was still rather uncomfortable going over the Bridge or not so much the bridge, but the approach to said Bridge. Don't know what that's all about, but I've borrowed some interesting books from Stanton Library on overcoming panic attacks. I'm hoping they'll give me some tips.
In other news, this carrot taste absolutely gross, which is bad because there's still a pack of them left in the fridge. Cucumber doesn't taste that great either... Hopefully the sausages are all right, how long can you keep those anyway?
And I got rid of the milk, I'm not actually sure if it was off, but it tasted kinda dodgy.
The Pope has been in the US this week, and I've found it rather offensive that all the news stations except SBS and ABC here in Aus is providing him with subtitles. He has an ever accent, but it's not unintelligible.
( Anywho, let's have some Memes )
Opps, I got distracted doing other stuff so that's why this entry has taken so long. But now I have websites to go, stuff to read and so, I will be off.
Ta-ta for now!
