if there's a rocket tie me to it
+ So I didn't update in a while, eh! Really it was just me being busy again, though part of it was that yesterday was a very long and emotional day for various reasons involving us possibly moving house again. In a nutshell, I really don't want to while everyone else, does. We've only been in this house for about 6 years as it is so the idea really upset me. Ugh. Anyway, everyone seems to have calmed down today. It is FREEZING outside though. I know the weatherman said we'd be getting a cold front, but jeez, it feels like it's two seconds from snowing outside. Probably because it's the wind blowing down from the mountains where it is actually snowing.
+ Meme from jessamika:
1. If you're on my friends list, I want to know 35 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine.
2. Comment here with your answers and re-post the questionnaire on your own journal.
01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? I've never been in any relationship. That may because I'm lame but more likely it's because I've never had the opportunity presented to me/never sought it out for myself. Oh well.
02) What was your dream growing up? For a while I really wanted to be a gymnast, then a horse rider, then a dancer, but I'm hopelessly unco. I didn't want to be a writer until i got my first poem published at 8.
03) What talent do you wish you had? Drawing! And acting.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be? Right now you can buy me a banana hot chocolate because I am an ICE CUBE. (Not Ice T, he's busy on Law and Order).
05) Favorite vegetable? Tomatoes!
06) What was the last book you read? I'm reading Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" right now, before that it was Don DeLillo's "White Noise" for my cultural studies class.
07) What zodiac sign are you? Gemini.
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. I have one hole in each ear that I got when I was twelve. It hurt so much I cried all the way home!
09) Worst Habit? Biting my nails, I suppose? At least now that I'm no longer self-harming.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? Yes, Jess. Yes I would.
11) What is your favorite sport? TENNIS
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? I used to say I was a pessimist, then i decided to become an optimist, but then Mum kept getting sick so I'm pretty much a realist now. If I'm walking down the street, jessamika COULD offer me a ride. Or she COULD drive through a puddle and splash water on me. See, realistic!
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Discuss how to rescue JD Fortune from his trailer trash caravan park life and into a career involving modeling or standing around being sexy? Or Bon Jovi? Something like that.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? Probably Mum being diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Or spending that night with her in hospital a few weeks back for her kidney when she was almost screaming and crying in pain, that was pretty bad.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. Uh, I always watch DVDs with subtitles?
16) Do you have any pets? We used to have Penny, our Jack Russel cross Chihuahua, but she died last year from a stroke. The saddest part was not the stroke, but that mum had to take her to the vet in a taxi to be euthanized.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly? Wonder why you came alll the way from Perthania!
18) What was your first impression of me? LOL I don't even remember. The CU days were so long ago now!
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Clowns are scary.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I actually like how I look. No, really, I do. Sometimes, though, I wish I had nice skin. I would be marginally happier with myself if I know my face/back/shoulders/boobs didn't have unsightly acne all over them.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? LOL crime partner.
22) What color eyes do you have? Brown.
23) Ever been arrested? What are you implying?!
24) Bottle or can soda? I prefer bottles (you can get glass bottles of Pepsi Max at Grilled, which is why I love it so much) but we usually get those big 24 can packs for the fridge.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Boring enough, I'd put it in a high interest savings account/term deposit and then use it for my uni debt in two years.
26) What's your favorite place to hang out at? Wherever Novak Djokovic is playing. but really just my room.
27) Do you believe in ghosts? Sure, why not.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Write!
29) Do you swear a lot? Fuck yes.
30) Biggest pet peeve? Trains being canceled or delayed, buses running late, trams being diverted or the routes changing confusingly.
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Conscientious.
32) Do you believe in /appreciate romance? Yes and yes.
33) Favorite and least favorite food? I have way too many favourite foods (I'm pretty much a foodie). I hate eggplant! Unless it's like sauteed in a very particular way.
34) Do you believe in God? Not really.
35) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? Just did!
+This is REALLY freaky (and not for those with a sensitive disposition, I would wager): New 'Montauk Monster' spotted in Panama that nobody can identify. The running verdict is that it's a sloth that lost it's hair, but that face does not look sloth-like D:
+: For David: All the Australian Idols are pretty much broke lol. I figured as much - I know if you make it to top 12, you get paid a certain amount each week to make up for lost income (which is normal practice for reality shows) but in return the winners tend to get screwed over now when all their profits get sent away. It didn't always used to be like this, because I remember there being reports after the first season that Guy made $1 million in nine months, while Shannon made about $800k. But what it's turned into now is that idol winners don't choose but are forced into making Winner's Journey albums just to avoid going bankrupt, which is sad.
+ Ten People You Won't See On Twitter Anymore I am glad to see the backs of all them (especially hash tag spammers), though sadly it means no more using Twitters as update feeds.
+ Only cause I'm reading The Lost Symbol right now: Dan Brown's 20 Worst Sentences lol. Dude is actually a good writer, it's just that he has strange grammatically dubious ways of phrasing his ideas sometimes. His books are like the action movies of high-selling novels.
+ I'm FINALLY on holiday from school! Only for a week though. Also, I saw Eskimo Joe down at Fed Square on Friday when they were performing on Sunrise, pics with commentary are here.
