I couldn't even name one winner of the last five AFL grand finals, and they were in my country.
Apparently there's a "friend me" meme going around. Now, normally I don't post such repetitive and thoughtless entries (you know me, won't encourage such nonsense), but I thought I'd give this one a go:
FRIEND ME.
Because I will borrow your videos and not return them, and also leave the toilet seat up. Also, I will come over to your house in the middle of the night and make scrambled eggs, and cook food onto your pans, and leave them in the sink without even soaking them. Also, sometimes I will dip your toothbrushes in the toilet bowl. Y'know, just for that Harpic Fresh smile.
...Maybe it's my inner cynic, but I just don't feel that bleating at people to read one's livejournal is exactly a healthy or productive experience.
Youngest sister: Hey, this girl on this Sim LJ community I joined...
Me (frothing at the mouth slightly, and speaking rather too quickly): ... thought that her Sims' kids were ugly, so she drowned them, then she made a new, pretty Sim family and drowned the parents so that the kids could be adopted and then got all SURPRISED that the authorities wouldn't let her Sims adopt them as they'd KILLED THEIR OWN KIDS...
[beat]
I heard it on Metaquotes.
[beat]
Is that what you were going to tell me?
YS: Erm. No. *looks slightly frightened*
[beat]
Her boyfriend had been playing on the Sims, and he spent about two hours on it, and suddenly she hears this "WHAT THE FUCK?" and apparently he'd got his Sim to gaze at the clouds, and a piece of space junk came down and killed her.
Yeah, well, I say if you can't leave a few mental scars on your younger siblings, what are you there for, eh?
Anger Management. It's excellent.

no subject
Date: 2004-10-28 05:29 am (UTC)... *dies laughing* Actually, yeah, I can see that.
He's the bassist in U2. So this is him as well, looking slightly less young and artistic and whatnot. (he's also not pretending that he can play a double bass in this one.)

Date: 2004-10-28 05:40 am (UTC)Also, oh you poor thing. Because being ill sucks.
They are old. They released their first album in.. late 70's early 80's? But they just released a new single (Vertigo) which was used in an iPod ad so that's what everyone's been iconing.
And they have another album coming out in a month. Some people just don't quit. *g*

Date: 2004-10-29 05:36 am (UTC)Heh. Like Duran Duran - they've just released a new album...

Date: 2004-10-30 08:14 am (UTC)Okay.
How are you placed for this coming week, either Thursday afternoon or any time on Friday?
Well, probably during the day on Friday because I have work on Saturday and I think I want to catch the train this time instead of driving. My car was threatening to strike last time I went to Melbourne.

Watch out for the secret service, though.

Luckily, we have many leggy blondes on hold...
Date: 2004-10-28 07:59 am (UTC)Well, as long as it's only ASIO, I'm sure we'll be perfectly left alone when we incite villanous chaos and mass rebellion via the internet.
Can I get one to go?
