I Blame the Liberal Party
10:36pm: Hey, I found a new mantra! Plus it's accurate, I've been maligning the schools for far too long. :OP
And there'll be much to blame on them, especially because it seems I spoke to soon re: the make-up of the Senate, the balance of power senators appear to be mostly right-wing. Pathetic.
And I realised something today, something most unfortunate, I'm working at the newsagency tomorrow. Ugh, the papers...especially the Telegraph. Speaking of the owner of that paper was the big fury provoker of today. Rupert Murdoch was born in Australia and then buggered off because he didn't like paying tax. He's on Twitter and today he posted this smarmy comment at which point I wished I could reach through my tablet and smack him in the face. I had to settle for tweeting back and telling him to move back here and pay some tax and that he's a disgrace to journalism. Seriously, what an ass and where does he get off moralising? He was behind the tapping the phones of murder victims!
And to think his mother (who died earlier this year) was one of the greatest philanthropists in the country. Pft.
Anyway, I better stop lest you all defriend me due to my ranting.

Topically Unrelated
1. What’s something you think you could have been good at, if you’d started at a young age? Uh...gee, I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe play a musical instrument? But with my lack of rhythm probably not. Probably a language then, easier to learn at a young age.
2. What TV show’s theme song do you really like? I'm quite fond of the theme to Get Smart
3. What’s the dumbest dare you ever took, or what’s the dumbest dare you witnessed someone taking? Well, it wasn't a dare exactly, but climbing up the top of that small cliff over a river at Year 6 camp proved to be terrifying! D: And even though it wasn't dangerous (the teachers rook us up there after all). Hell, that sucked.
4. What’s the most exotic thing you’ve eaten? As an extremely boring eater...kangaroo.
5. What was the last thing you changed the batteries for? The smoke alarm.
The (Other) Friday 5
Time to be social!
1. Are you a likeable person? When I'm not ranting about politics I'd like to think so.
2. What do you feel is your worst personality trait? My short attention sp-
3. What is your best personality trait? Um, well I do like to help people out where I can
4. Are you a social person or more of a loner? Social person on the net, loner in real life.
5. If someone you respect points out a flaw, do you work on changing it or do you expect them to accept you as you are? Probably the latter, I'm not that good at taking criticism, LOL.
Saturday 9
:Band on the Run:
1) This song is about a band of musicians that escapes on an adventure. Do you consider yourself spontaneous and adventurous? Ha ha, sadly no.
2) Paul McCartney and Wings traveled all the way to Lagos, Nigeria, to record Band on the Run. That's a long, long way from London. What's the farthest from home you've ever been? In thought that song was called MAN on the Run, huh, live and learn. I wonder why they went so far? Anyway, the furthest I've ever been from home is Scotland.
3) Wings featured Linda McCartney on keyboards. Paul said that when Linda died, after almost 30 years together, he lost the love of his life. Who is the love of your life? Or have you yet to meet him/her? Well, that must have made it awkward when he married Heather Mills, although we all know how that worked out :O/ And the love of my life is...well I don't have one, unless you count my family. Hugs them all!
4) Paul has said he's very proud of Band on the Run, his most successful post-Beatles album. Brag a little. Tell us something you're proud of. Um...hmmm....I guess graduating University, I can't believe I managed that! Go me!
5) Paul's birth certificate reads "James Paul McCartney." He's named for his father, Jim. Are you named after anyone? My first name, no. My middle name, yes, all the Annes that came before.
6) Paul enjoys oil painting in his spare time. What's one of your hobbies? Really, no wonder he liked Marge's painting, LOL! And one of my hobbies is RPing. Good times.
7) 20 Forthlin Road, Paul McCartney's boyhood home, has been turned into a museum by the British government. It's a modest 2 bedroom cottage, with a drainpipe that Paul used to climb to sneak in after curfew. How would you describe your childhood home? Well, there was a few, but from 5 to 10 the family lived in mid-19th century cottage with an extension and huuuge backyard where there was an above ground pool, swing sets, sandpit, room for a trampoline, an old chicken shed and garage! My room was painted green and next to the study. Good times...
8) Paul is 5'11". How tall are you? 5ft 3 or there abouts, not very tall at all!
9) Actor Christopher Lee is on the album cover. He played Dracula in a series of movies in the 1950s and 1960s. Who is your favorite vampire? Spike! Man, he's fun.
Saturday Six
1. How many flashlights do you own? Er, I did have one at the apartment, but I'm not sure where it is now.
2. When did you last use a flashlight? Obviously not for a very long time.
3. When is the last time you lost power at your home? Well, I think it might have gone out earlier this year, but I was at work so I missed that. Before then a couple of years ago during the day.
4. How many light bulbs do you have installed in various fixtures in your home right now? Let's see...two lamps, stove lights, kitchen light, main room light, hall light and bathroom light, so 8.
5. Of those, how many bulbs are the new “CFL” bulbs? All of them. The apartment was built 10 years ago so they had to comply with environmental standards.
6. If you could eliminate either the old-style Edison bulbs or the new-style CFL bulbs, which would get the axe and why? The old style bulbs, because the new ones are more environmental friendly and that's important to me.

What would you choose to be famous for? As a novelist!
If you have a webcam, are you ever paranoid people can see you? Naw.
Do you find it difficult to sleep at night? Any reason(s) why? Thankfully, usually not. If it is, it's usually because I don't feel tired.
If you had to go on a game show, which would you choose? Ha ha, funny you should ask, I was just looking at funny game show answers on YouTube. I guess... Who Wants to be a Millionaire I might be able to wing that.
What about if you had to go on a reality show? Ugh, God, Hell no. Maybe one of those dancing shows, I have no idea.
Which would you choose then? Obviously the game show!
Tell me about your favorite TV show: The Simpsons! Greatest sitcom of our time! Even though it's not as good as it once was it's still better than 90% of the stuff on now. Plus, you gotta love the characters.
Why were you last irritated? Few hours go, I have a feeling it's going to happen a lot...
What time did you get up this morning? I woke up at 7:30, but didn't actually get out of bed 'til 9am
The last city you were in: Where was it and do you like it there? I live in Sydney, so I'm in one now and yes, I do like it.
Do you like the countryside? Eh, I got nothing against it, but I'd rather be in the city.
If you see someone yawn, do you often yawn as well? Yep, I actually yawned reading that question!
Recommend me a good movie: Back to the Future! Perfect film!
Do you think you’d make a good model? Would you ever want to be one? Pft, Hell no. Not tall enough or sultry enough.
How often do you change your hairstyle? Er...I've changed it twice in my whole life. Once to row back my fringe and once when I got it layered. I do get it layered differently, but yeah, that's pretty much it.
What does it look like now? No fringe, dark brown, thick and goes to about mid-back.
Do you have a favorite day of the week? Which is it? I do love Saturdays.
Are you alone? Nope, I'm hanging at the parentals right now.
When is the last time you were on the phone after 2 am? Not the phone, but Skype a few months ago.
And yikes! Look at the time! I have to get up early tomorrow so I can go to the gym before work (which is why I'm still here at the parentals) so I must be off!
Unconscious Mutterings will happen tomorrow.
Goodnight!
