Moose Musings

Yawn! It's after midnight, my eyes are heavy on the verge of soreness, yet a strive for accuracy in my Fictional LJs...because they're set in 2002, I'm trying to located surveys and quizzies from that time, which is quite the endeavour because Quizilla didn't really get going until late 2002, so I can't go there. So I found some oooold LJ communities from that time and have been changing around the one_cooldude's entries...except I really should put in LJ cuts. But not now because I'm exhausted! Yawn!

Anyway, had a good chat with Ben, who called me up after he came online and I mentioned my recent issues, Ben is studying to be a doctor, so I'm sure this is all helpful to him, I hope he doesn't go and use my as a case study. :OP!

Tomorrow I have to take the dog down to my father's school so he and Mum can go from there directly up the cost. Unfortunately they're taking the red car up there so I have to drive the white one...now after driving the red car for so long the white one is all bulky. It's also got powersteering so whenever I take a corner I over steer and things get a bit dicey. Sigh! Plus I have to get the dog in the car and I don't like touching dogs, so this will mean a lot of calling and shaking of leads and whatnot.

Sigh! All because the little bro is working tomorrow, hmpf!

Well, memes then bed!

3X Thursday

Social Butterfly

1. Are you very social? Why/why not?

Eh, mildly, once I get out with friends and family I am, but around strangers, no. I also don't like going to new places very much.

2. What does 'being social' mean to you?

Hanging out, talking, having a good time.

3. Do you think because we're Merkins (meaning we love excess) we're more social than other cultures? Why/why not?

Huh, what an odd word...anyway, I'm not sure... in some areas women especially don't get to be very social, but you can't really clump a whole culture because of some extremist views or personal choices. Americans are probably pretty social.

Bonus Question for Comments: Done anything social lately? Do tell!

Yes! Met up with bookscorpion and Zep last Saturday, fun was had by all as well as a delicious spaghetti dinner. :O)

Thursday Threesome

Love and Marriage

Love- Tell us about your first love/crush. No, you don't have to name names, but why that person? ;)

LOL, Mr. Darcy aka Colin Firth, it might be more to do with Firth's performance than Mr. D himself, but it's still sad. As to why...well, Colin Firth looks mighty fine in breeches and a top hat let me tell you!
I may have liked Crispin Glover as George McFly, but now I kinda identify with George more look an alter ego or something, so that's just weird!

and Marriage- Are you married or in a serious relationship? For how long? If not, do you want to get married or be in a serious relationship someday, or are you happy with your single status?

Nope and not really, I can't think of anyone I'd want to spend a lot of time with or get married too.

Go together like a horse and carriage- What's the most romantic thing you've done, had someone do for you, or have seen done?

Ummm...my brother moving to Japan to be with his fiance is pretty romantic I guess...although Mike did say he's been planning to get out of this country forever. :OP

Yawn, I must retire...the eyes are closing...closing...

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Memes and Surveys

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

I've been toying with the idea of bring The HO and co. (LOL) ryhmes! Over here to LJ for no other reason then...I just feel like it, even though the options for free accounts aren't as many. But LJ is the original! And hence, the best :O) Plus these entries are been posted in 2002, and GJ only opened in 2003 so the discrepancy when I found it out last night annoyed me.

I was also hoping for a wider audience by bringing them over, so feel free to friend 'em- teh_ho (all the other combos of the_ho were taken!) and one_cooldude. (they won't friend you back because they're assholes living in their own little world.)

Geeze, I'm an obsessive idiot...I blame it on last night, it's been raining as you know and often when it rains heavily the roof will drip on the the gutter underneath my window in a very monotous "drip-drip-drip" way. I can't STAND monotomous noise, I don't know why but I can't sleep if there's at ticking clock in the room and I couldn't sleep with that dripping! I tried plugging my ears, hiding under my covers, but nothing would drown the noise out. Eventually, I just gave up and went upstairs to sleep, stopping the clock up there because it ticks! :OP So without the dripping or ticking I got to sleep. I was a little worried my parents would think I'd been kidnapped or done a runner when they woke up, but nope. LOL, that's caring and concern for yah.

Moving on I have to apply for two more jobs then haul ass to Centrelink, stupid thing is due again, I don't get why you can't do it over the phone, the line at Centrelink is always a piece of crap. So, this is a short entry.

Please not my new mood theme...I made this some week ago but haven't used it yet...I'm keeping the George III sidebar picture strip...hey it's eccletic. :OP

Ta ta for now!

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room The Ho and Co

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

Seriously! For about an hour today it was all nice and sunny, so I went on down to return that book to the library, just as well! Now it's pouring down! Looking pretty icky out there too, I hope Mum doesn't make me pick her up...I said it before and I'll say it again, I hate driving in the rain.

In other news I ran out of tape when I was taping Fairly Odd Parents this afternoon, do'h! That sucks...Oh well...what can you do, they'll be back on.

In other news rush of updates at The HO, so go check him out. :O)

That reminds me though, I haven't written any BTTF stuff in forever! And I have all these plans for the backtothefanfic challenges, I'm a lazy writer I tells you...or maybe not...I just kinda get obsessions, so when I'm on one the others kinda fall by the wayside only to be picked up again later. I really should learn how to juggle stuff.

Which reminds me of something bookscorpion told me the other day, she wanted to know if I'd written any original fic...the thing is I haven't written any original fic since I was about 11, everything since then has been fanfic or fanfic based (for example, about Alison, who's George McFly's half-sister and hopefully not some weird Mary-Sue), the thing is if you wanna be a published writer, you gotta write something original! Or get permission from the Powers-that-Be to do fanfic. Which aside from Star Wars and a couple of others doesn't usually happen.

So, if I was gonna do some original fic what would I do it about? Well, my first ever story was called The Secret Diary of Fizzy, when I was 8 about a supersmart dolphin who live in an underwater city and wrote to the Governor of the place with suggestions, which sounds really weird now I'm writing it out, but I once accidentally left the printout of it at my friend Zep's house once, and she and her mother read it and thought it was really good. So, you know... They could have just been trying to be nice.

My other work of original fiction was in Year Five when I was 10 about a girl and her cat switching bodies leading to mayhem and whatnot, I wrote a new chapter when we had writing time and my teacher would say she was always looking forward to the next chapter. This of course, could have been because it was a good story for a 10 year old. Probably wouldn't stand up today, LOL! Plus, I never figured how the girl and cat would change back.

But yeah, basically not long after I wrote about Fizzy I wrote a Garfield based fic, then one about Robotech (old school!) then one about Rugrats and so on and so forth. Odd stuff.

Heh, today is 6/6/06 and there's just been a Satanist on the news talking about how it's the Anti-Christmas...but I've always been confused by Satanism...I mean Satan represents all the bad stuff- murder, stealing, hurting people...sounds a bit of a freaky thing for someone to worship.

Tonight is a new Simpsons! I mustn't forget to tape it! Although in a standard weird ass move by Australian TV Networks, it's a Christmas episode, in JUNE! Although technically it's Winter, so it kinda makes sense looking at it that way. Although if they'd waited they could have just called it Christmas in July.

Yeah...so...that's all I got at the moment. Except for this odd thing...OK Cupid! seems to have taken away html post ability thing, so all I can do is ctrl-c in it.

Have You Got What it Takes to be a Billionaire?

Thomson of Fleet

You could be worth $2 billion... someday

Based on our rigorous interrogation of your personality, we have determined that deep down you are more good natured than evil, more lazy than hard-working, and more lucky than cunning. If you do become unspeakably wealthy, which we sort of doubt, it would probably be through some combination of inheritence and luck. Furthermore, based on your personality, we feel you are most like actual billionaire The Right Honourable Kenneth Roy Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet, the world's 9th richest man. He's dull but incredibly lucky with money -- just like you. The Lord Thompson of Fleet, or Kenny Boy, as they call him down in Stamford, Connecticut, inherited the media holding company Thomson Corporation from his dad, Roy Thomson, then sold most of the newspapers and media-related companies to people like mini-billionaire and fellow Canadian Conrad Moffat Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour, now better known as "the defendant." When he's not selling his dad's newspapers, Ken enjoys long walks on the beach and collecting art. He's worth about $20 billion, or two Jamaicas, and owns a $117 million painting (that's more than most people make in 100 lifetimes). Cool, huh?

What's the deal with that? I want my HTML damnit!

Ah well, ta ta for now.

Man, I should have thought about asking over there before! I've got lots and lots of replies regarding what sort of subjects The HO will and can do...although, I'm rather surprised to find that Rich Prep School kids really are the rich of the rich. I hope they're all not showing up in limos...'cause that'd screw some very important points in the GJ so far. (Well as it turns out no-one drives limos on a daily basis...well..er...lets just pretend the HO was always in a normal sized, though kickass vehicle...:OP)

I've also found my way to some very interesting websites on the topic...oh what fun! Although it looks like the HO should have down Biology in Grade Nine, not Grade Ten...whoops...ah well, what are you gonna do, I'm not taking or changing that...that's like a major part of the whole thing! But it looks like he can't dump French just yet...poor HO! I gave up Japanese after Year 10 when I realised "Shit, there's no way I can do this for the HSC!"

This is also distracting me from Dad, I got so freaked out I tried to get Mum to convince my big bro Mike to let me stay over at Newtown since I have an appointment at the Job centre tomorrow anyway, but Mike said "Nope." He can be such an ass, he even threatened me with his hands (he helped Mum clean the bathroom a bit)...so I blamed him for giving me emetophobia (hey, he shoved my head down the toilet!). But what can you do...Well, I for one won't be going into the upstairs bathroom until:

a) Dad wakes up fine or near fine tomorrow having recovered from the food allergy or:

b) Three days are up (those gastro viruses don't give up easily)

Geeze, I am suffering from the "Avoid the germs at all costs!" problem...but I have worries...I haven't touched Dad though...I should be OK, and really I'm sure it must be his food allergy...but you know. I really need to investigate the possibilities of that vaccine, better to be safe than sorry! :Oo

Anyway! I better do the Meme and get my ass to bed.

Except the internet is soooo slooooow...what's with that...is my little bro sucking up all the juice now that he can get on the net too? He's always downloading entire seasons of stuff...

Anyway!

Monday Madness

The Simple Things

How many simple things have you learned to appreciate more, for one reason or another? Please list them and feel free to elaborate on each.

Ummm...

1. Time with friends- not everyone has them!
2. My parents support- not everyone gets this either!
3. Been able to read a book on the bus
4. Not been so anxious all the time- ha the irony!

Well, yawn! I'm tired as Hell now, so I better get to bed...wow so many comments to my question, just as I managed to find out the right keywords to put into Google to get a list of the Private Schools in New York City...do'h!

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Education Q

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

Hey my US friends, how do subjects in High School work over there? Like do you have to do the same number of hours for each subject? Or do some subjects need less (I'm wondering 'cause The HO's journal has him in High School, and so I don't want to get mixed up so I have to draw up him a timetable and stuff), like they're only on three times a week, instead of four, or are the subjects on every day? Here in Aus, as far as I know every school is on a two week timetable, which means usually one week we'd have a subject three times, but the second week we'd have it four times, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

In other news, it's been over the net well OK, all over martyfan and darkjediprinces LJ entries, this bizarre plan for women's health. Actually the not smoking, getting plenty of calicium and exercise isn't really the problem so much as the reason behind it. They're not saying it should be done for a woman's own health, but for a hypothetical baby she may become pregnant with. Errr...what? I can't do that! First of all I'm not planning to have a baby, second of all, if I was to follow this plan, I would have to stop taking my medication (which could interfer with featl development), and since I'm not going to engage in any potiental baby-making activities I hardly think it'd be fair to make me feel bad for been on something like that!

It's also kind of insulting! I mean smoking, diabetes and so on can really screw up a man's sperm count and the health of said sperm, is there a corresponding article about how men have to keep themselves ever-viliglant 'cause hey he never knows when he might impregnante a woman? I'm thinking not.

But anyway, as I said, there's nothing wrong with encouraging women (and men) to be healthy, but don't bring reproduction into it unless it's warranted! I mean geeze, I'd assume women would wish to be healthy whether they're having children or not, I mean telling them not to binge drink or whatever for the sake of a fetus that doesn't actually exist will no doubt piss 'em off. Hell, I'm kinda pissed off about it, because it's not very respecful to women, it sounds like they don't care about women at all, only the babies! Also, as I understand it, America does not have a National Health System like Australia (here in Aus, if you're poor you can go to the doctor's for free, everyone pays taxes for this purpose), so it's kinda rich to ask women to do all this stuff and not offer them an inexpensive means to do it!

Well, whatever, in news that will no doubt cheer all women up, here in Aus, scientists are in (hopefully) the last stages of the Male Pill! Someday, women will be asking the guy if they've taken their pill this evening, and if not no cake for you! :OP

Anyway! It's almost midnight so you all know what that means:

( Meme Time, friends! )

Anyway, I hope my US friends can help me out with my question, although, US schools seem to be widely different depending where you are...sounds pretty complicated, is there any plans to standardise the system? It's gotta be confusing when you move otherwise!

Yikes, I've got two minutes to update this thing before midnight! So off I go!

Aww nuts, just missed it...I've got the George III disease with dating stuff...although he dates and times his letters by when he starts to write 'em, not when he finishes...Alas, not my style. :OP

10:22pm: I created a new journal for The_Ho and OneCoolDude's friend Jim, which I called Hooked_onb_Ball (you can see him here though he hasn't actually done that much), at the moment I'm redoing all the Ho's comments to add in the date and time they put them in, since currently they're dated really in 2005 when I actually posted them, I can't change that but I can put in the date and time they're meant to reply in the subject headings. And I'm sure you don't care, LOL.

Tomorrow I have to drop Chris's Godmother off at the airport at noon or something like that for her flight back I also need to look up the location of the Airport's Krispy Kreme donuts...I've got the phonebook in here I just need to pick it up. :OP

In other news, my cough seems to have come back...geeze, I really hope I haven't got sometehing permanent, but I don't know if I should just take a puff from that ventilator thing, because I was told to do it for only three weeks. Maybe it's just a one off thing or whatever.

( Righto, catchin' up on Da Memes )

Well...my TV is looking better again, so that's good and I found out that there's a Krispy Kreme in the actual airport, so I don't have to try and locate it, so it won't be hard to go to there after all. All the same, I guess I should go to bed because I have to get up, plus you know how it is when you oversleep.

Anyways, that's all folks!

Yes, it's the knee pain, right when I'm trying to finish my online assingment with the_h_o, ugh...ow, pain.

Meanwhile, Greatest Journal is being a pisser, which is just great 'cause I have to tweak with the bloody thing before I give it in...the question is, should I try and get it working tonight or just save it for tomorrow? I'm pretty sure that technically Friday is the day it's due, or at least 5pm or something tomorrow...

Ah what the fuck did I do to my knees? As a famous man once said. "Ooooowww, this is the worst pain ever!"

Ok, so it's not but it's pretty bad.

In other news, yep had to give up on the Greatest Journal, it better be up tomorrow or I'm gonna be really pissed off.

Meanwhile, I must be off to worrying about my other assignment due and how screwed I'm gonna be...

If the knee pain doesn't kill me first...

OK, went and got the X-Rays this morning (incidentally the foyer of the building where the place is located smells something awful) and then took them to Medical Centre. As suspected there was nothing wrong with my bones on the joint but more poor knee is still so tender! The Doc called in another Doc to take a look at my knees as well and they arrived at the conclusion that I may have a torn cartilage, well son of a bitch!

But even if I don't they said my knees are extremely weak and unstable and I need to get me to a Physio pronto, and an orthopedic surgeon as well. I'll have to look into that ASAP, although I'm confused now regarding how much time I have to do stuff...

I also told the Doc about the fainting spell yesterday, he took my blood pressure and my temperature, but nothing weird there. Hmpf, I better get over myself lest I get worried about fainting so much I won't be able to go anywhere or some such. Remind me to call Dr. Weaver on Monday to arrange an appointment, I shall have to ask him about this.

But hunting around on Jeeves regarding this tear is seriously worrying, it says on this website that it doesn't heal very well! Oh great! What am I supposed to do now? I hope it goes away by next week! I don't even know how I'm gonna drive home tomorrow, I guess I'll have to drive the white car (which is an automatic).

You're at the maturity level of a typical freshman in high school or younger. You haven't done much, and you don't think for yourself too much. Get out there and try something new!

Now, personally, I got no issues with been a High Schooler, but a FRESHMAN? C'mon, from what I've heard those kids are weird!

In other news, I decided to make me a Harry Osborn Sim, which with my obsessiveness regarding family ties in the Sims 2, meant making a Norman and Emily Osborn as well.



They were once a happy family...



Harry and his mother, Emily. And yes! Little Harry is wearing a tuxedo! It comes with Nightlife cutest toddler outfit EVAH.

Emily's dress is a mesh I downloaded and very pretty to look at, but doesn't look quite right when she walks around, so I sent her to a Community Lot to get some clothes. Funnily enough even though I get them a car...



I forgot to use it and sent Emily in a taxi instead! Whoops!

But yes, the only thing, though is poor Emily has to pass away before Harry is a child, but I've never killed a Sim and I don't think I can do it. I figure I'll just move her away. Which is still sad. :O(

Right, that's all I gotta say right now.

In other news I just noticed this weird thing on person, like a white mark on my side...it feels weird when I poke it and it's currently sore...what could it be? When I saw it last night I thought I'd been bitten by some alien creature! I even tried to Ask Jeeves about it, but he couldn't help me. I wonder if I should get it checked out..

Ah, I love that phrase, it's fun for the whole family and can be used in any type of situation...or not really if one wants to be specific. Oh well...

But anyway, moving, I've just realised that I've neglected to purchase new earphones for my mobile (so expensive damnit!) and now I'm worried I won't have anything to listen to at work tomorrow and may end up bamging my head against the wall. But ca la vie...maybe I'll end up sitting next to someone who'll talk to me. Most people like to listen to their music you see. Man I wish I had a discman or some such.

So yeah, I'm really enjoying the Genre Writing Workshop so much interaction and talking going on, although I'm a bit nervous about next week when I have to make as presentation myself...I've never been good at these book talking things. The first time I had to do it way back in Year 7 I went on for TEN minutes and in my nervousness managed to kick myself in the shin with my heel. Owww!

The teacher eventually told me to please take a seat and in future to give a general summary of the book not a recounting of every event in it...though it goes to show how good my memory is since I'd only read the book once. :OP

And I'm so happy with the_h_o, he's updating very nicely, although the dates in question are quite incorrect...if you wish to comment on him though, do so on the LJ website since I don't want to break the atmosphere over there in Greatest Journal land. :O)
