Tell me you're leaving me again. Please don't go staying...
. . . o_O God I've got some really angsty love-songs on my computer. *peers* Oh wait, that's something Fuu gave me. *glares* Oh yes, I have a source of blame and vitriol for the sad love songs on this baby of mine. Don't you doubt it! I do realize that there's the excuse of "Well if you don't like it then go right ahead and delete the songs!", but my simple reply is this. If I deleted so many songs then I wouldn't be able to lay claim to the truly magnificent number of songs I have on this computer. ... Which would probably result in the RIAA hopping on a plane and flying over to kneecap me with litigation.
On the flip side, I really am thoroughly enjoying these albums of Rammstein. Did you know that before a few days ago, I actually had only five songs of Rammstein to my paltry music record? Shameful I tell you, absolutely shameful. I should grow a hump on my back to drag my spine down with shame. ^_~
This weekend has been pretty full-on workload wise. On the other hand, you know it's going to be a bad shift at one's workplace when you arrive on time to find that your boss isn't there. Ok, can do the basic set-up no problemo. Only to have to call him half an hour later to find that he hasn't even made it out of bed. Quickly followed up with the next day when you yourself wake up only to realize that you've over-slept your alarm clock and are going to arrive an hour late at your next shift. *thumbs up* Oh yes, can you just feel the irony of that? Yes, I thought you could. It basked over me just as I was hopping onto the train praying that I'd be able to get some coffee at some point to keep me going.
As it stands, I do like to spend as much time as possible around friends. Or doing something with friends. Lately it has felt as if the amount of time I do spend with my friends has taken a sharp decrease over the past six months or so. Or maybe I have just been a little more down than regular. I'm not quite sure which. Nonetheless, I would like to spend more time with them but scheduling interference does seem to suck quite a fair bit.
Anyway, onwards with the memes!

Grooming Products
Shampoo: I don't actually purchase a shampoo to use immediately. See, my family has a backlog of shampoo. We work our way through it in chronological order of which we purchased it. So anything I purchase will probably be used six months or more down the track. Helps that Bob & I share shampoo. You can usually tell who bought the shampoo. I buy stuff to take care of one's hair where she purchases with "sales" and cheapest prices in mind. Though I have summarily banned Pantene from the list of possible purchases after the first and only time I used it which resulted in the dye in my hair being stripped down to the bleached parts. Currently we're using Head & Shoulders. Should be ready to switch over to Garnier Fructis by the end of the month.
Moisturiser: Nivea Men range. Less expensive than Body Shop and works very well for me. ^_^
Perfume/Cologne: I added the Cologne bit. You'll get more guys doing this meme if you don't just restrict it to female-only scents. *shakes fist* I use Tommy Hilfiger Cologne. Religiously.
Razor: Quattro. Four blades are just enough. I've got some hard to get places on my neck which shit me up the wall. I refuse to use the stupid Fusion one. Five blades, a battery to make it vibrate AND a single razor for those so-called "hard to reach" places? Puh-lease, pull the other leg it plays Mozart!
Toothpaste: I honestly would have to go upstairs to check in the bathroom at this very moment, but I do believe that it is a Colgate brand.
Electronics
Cellphone: Blackberry Pearl. -_-; Others may say it's crappy but I have this to reply to them: But... but... it's so cute! *snuggles his Blackberry Pearl* Awww, don't listen to the mean people. Just because you're all show and no substance doesn't mean that Daddy Tycho doesn't love you. Yes he does, yes he does!
Computer: *sighs* I spent close to three grand on it around three years ago. And it's slowly getting obsolete. Actually in terms of gaming performance, it's obsolete. I need a new hard-drive, graphics card, cooling system and at least another gig of ram to bring it up to decent gaming specs.
Television: *laughs so hard his sides ache* My parents bought it back in the '80s. And it's still working. THAT'S long lasting technology!
Stereo: I don't have a Stereo. Bob's the only one with a Stereo in this house. I've got my trusty Vision:M and my computer. That's all the music input I need.
Home
Sheets: Currently Blue, Green & Purple chequered ones. The doona sheet is one of a tropical forest. ... What, you were expecting anime-themed ones? Get real!
Coffee-maker: Coffee from independent café's and the such around Melbourne's CBD.
Car: 1995 Camry Station Wagon. It's got LPG tank added to the boot, so it has a much longer travel distance, not to also mention generally cheaper costs of travelling.
Stationery: *laughs until his sides hurt* Don't worry, I got plenty.
Beverages
Bottled water: *shrugs* No particular preference towards bottled water. I drink tap water all the time. Really tap water aint 'that bad!
Coffee: Generally the Del Zotti brand.
Vodka: Good question! I'd have to say Absolut is my favorite, but I can't afford it all the time.
Beer: Asahi. Yeah, typical of an Oriental. To be honest, it's the most available Japanese beer here in Australia.
Clothes
Jeans: I used to wear jeans one size too big for me because of my fluctuating weight for awhile. Work would cause me to drop weight crazy-fast, then I'd put it on again when I'd have time to chill out over a month, then I'd lose it again. Now, I'm just gonna buy figure hugging, but not tight enough to make me start singing soprano. And hopefully will restrain myself to a sensible body image.
T-shirt: I divide my t-shirts into two sets within the one drawer. Designs and non-designs. That should tell you quite a fair bit about my clothing tastes. ^_~
Briefcase or tote: Tote. I love them ever since I started using one in year 11. Haven't gone back to backpacks ever since. My current one is a brown leather one by FCUK. Granted I haven't taken good care of it. The metal bits keep on breaking.
Sneakers: I own a pair of pumas somewhere. I actually don't wear sneakers much anymore.
Watch: Pulsar. The one Shea bought for our first anniversary. Ah dearie me, how times have changed.
Favorite Places: Home In Bed. <-- Unchanged.
Extravagances: Gaming, heavy drinking nights, anime marathons, gaming marathons, fine dining dinners ( Those really wipe me out ), full party weekends ( These require more scheduling than one would imagine ), clothes, electronics. And women.
