(no subject)
Gotta run in a half hour to meet Charlie, Bean and the lads for dinner and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yayeness. Am quite looking forward to it, cos the previews look spiffing and I reallyreally wanna see. So, fwee.
Am attempting to reupload the suitcase video, I think I cut part of the link off last time? The keyboard in that other place was teh shite, and also I hadn't slept in like a day then, so. I finally got to bed at. um. four am this morning, so I'm rested up a bit more now.
Was superproductive yesterday - Miss Sandra came over to visit while I was groggily staring at midday telly after getting back from using McDonald's free half-hour wireless (got to dump six hundred emails from remote mail into the laptop. Eek.) and so we pottered around the flat for a bit, discovered that our tea was burnt**, got scared, and then went out in the afternoon to Do Things. Got a photo done to drop in with my CV (no, I don't know why they needed a photo as well and refuse to think of Charlie's suggestions as to why, ugh), got the cv photocopied, dropped it in at every book shop I could find, had coffee at the Amnesty Cafe in temple bar (it's really nice, and cheap, why have I never been in there before? Also, szo lusting after the free trade towel omg. Guh. /hoopy frood), ehm, what else did I do? Oh, right, bought a new kettle. It lights up on the side when you turn it on, which I find funky. And I cleaned a bit, and then Charlie and Bean woke up and we had dinner and telly and Charlie did me a tarot reading, which I'd never had done before. Kinda eye-opening, in a few ways, in that dearGOD could it have been more applicable? Er, NO. Heh. And then I tried to write, found out Charlie broke my porn***, managed something despite that, and then went to bed. I feel it was time well spent, despite the fact that I have not done anything useful today as a consequence of going to bed so late. Ahwell.
**File this under Crazy Croat Hi-Jinks. Ana had a moment of insanity and tried to boil milk in the jug. Predictable results ensued.
***See: phone posts from the other night, as to why certain people in head are refusing to do anything fun in the flat of gaybies. Never insult a Welshman. ;)
I suspect this entry is not terrifically sensical.
Keep being amused by this tiny snippet of an interview from before Live 8 - forget where I read it, but Larry basically said that if Bono pulled a stunt again like he had at Live Aid with leaving the stage and not being able to finish a song that he (Larry) was prepared - had a tape recorder set up and would 'just press play'. Amused. Zo love them.
Have had 'we recieved your cv, will let you know if we want to interview you later' emails from a few people, nothing concrete. Sigh. Continue to keep fingers crossed. Must get paper tomorrow and start serious leg-work.
Nicked off ninenty nine percent of the flist.
1. When you look at yourself in the mirror, what's the first thing you look at? Eyes, I think. Mostly making sure I don't have anything on my face that shouldn't be there.
2. How much cash do you have on you?
$80.00. Which is far too much to be carrying around, actually. Should leave some of it at home. <- more or less what Joy said, actually, but in euro, because I had to bite the bullet and get cash from the ATM. Again. This is making me supertwitchy.
3. What's a word that rhymes with "TEST"?
Lest.
4. Favorite plant?
This tree by the place my parents used to work on Saleyards Rd in Otahuhu. It was the most gorgeous green. Or freesias, I think.
5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone?
Sandra or Charlie, not sure which order they rang in yesterday.
6. What is your main ring tone on your phone?
The least tacky beepy thing on the phone. It's not fancy. At home it's the theme from Itchy and Scratchy alternating with the theme from Indiana Jones.
7. What shirt are you wearing?
My green MyLittlePony t shirt. It's comfy and I am a dork.
8. Do you "label" yourself?
Occasionally for other people's convenience, sure.
9. What name brand of shoes are you currently wearing?
Pass. Am wearing funky 'new' red boots. I love them except they're starting to flake apart in some bits already. Mrrh. And I managed to superglue my finger inside them yesterday when I was trying to fix the insole. Please feel free to make fun of me.
10. Are you in a Bright or Dark Room?
Fairly bright. Net cafe. It's still daylight.
11. What do you think about the personpeople who took this survey before you?
I think I have one of the smartest, best-looking and most interesting flists a person could have. Give us ten years and we'll be running the planet.
12. Ever "spilled the beans"?
On myself? Quite a bit this year, heh.
13. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Writing fic, getting pissed off at chavs on Ricki Lake, and eating Phish Phood with Bean, Ana and Charlie? I think?
14. What did your last text message you received on your cell phone say?
Was Charlie asking me if I was keen on seeing Dr No for free down in Temple Bar on Saturday, to which I replied 'hell yeah!'
15. Do you ever click on "Pop Ups" or Banners?
God no.
16. What's a saying that you say a lot?
'Wteeeeeeeef!' And 'I'm on the roof with the pigeons now, aren't I?'
17. Who told you they loved you last?
Was either Charlie or Joy, I think. Not sure of comparative timing on that.
18. Last furry thing you touched?
Mish's Mikita-kitty in Bristol, I think. I miss my kitties.
19. How many hours a week do you work?
None. Argh.
20. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
None, but I have something ridiculous like 6 gigs of digital photos to print. AM DOOMED.
21. Favorite age you have been so far?
23 has been pretty good, overall.
22. Who is your worst enemy?
Myself.
23. What is your current desktop picture?
Bono and Adam (and fuzzy Larry) on stage at Croke, during I think either Beautiful Day or City of Blinding Lights - the colours are glorious.
24. What was the last thing you said to someone?
'ooh, thank you Ana' (she just came into the net cafe and handed me a flyer from a recruitment agency offering office work.)
25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to go back in time to fix all of your mistakes, which would you pick?
The money. I could do a lot of good for me and my friends (and, okay, other people too) with it, and, like Miles said - wouldn't trade the journey because then you'd be a different person.
YSI better be done soon, I need to go in five minutes. Eek. Ooh, speak of the devil. Nice. Okay, hopefully it'll work this time. Me vs Charlie's suitcase. And yes, it does start out sideways (this is less of a problem on laptops, hee) but it turns round partway through. We are so professional.
