seandc*stre-e-e-e-tch* Weekend! Just in time for the sleeping in!
Just a new little LJ thing that's been brought to my attention: Nudge.
No, not the guy from Hey Dad, this is a little thing that sends a message to people you think haven't updated their LJ lately enough. If you go to someone's userinfo, you'll see a little button that looks like a giant hand tapping someone on the shoulder - that's the nudge button, to say "post something!"
And this next bit is just to surprise![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
justace - someone did respond to the survey! (Be afraid, be very afraid! ;))

Love Questions
Are you in Love?: I admit it - with myself! :D (What a guy!)
Are you single or taken?: Taken? *starts whistling X-Files theme*
If single, for how long?: Since sometime in the last century...
If taken, for how long?: I don't know, the aliens took my watch :lol:
If taken, by whom?: I told you, the aliens!
Do you like guys or girls?: Yes.
What do you think about Sporty guys?: Mel said it best: That they are often not smart enough to do anything else but play sports… and often very self-centered and arrogant. (yeah, I just had to leave that in there - sports mad country we're in, pah!)
Smart?: Two words. Barbara. Gordon. :D
Dorky?: A definite plus :lol:
Popular?: I didn't know that show was still on...
Your Favourites
Kind of Food:: The kind that can be eaten. Usually somewhere with bread involved. Simple, not very messy.
Colour:: Green/teal
Song:: Um... too many to sort out.
Band:: Rubber band. So useful. Although prone to breakage.
CD:: Ah gee, I haven't been listening to much lately. I'll say BTTF soundtracks this time round.
Kind of Music:: Eclectic tastes. I do seem to collect more soundtracks than other kinds of cds though. And way more DVDs than CDs.
Animal:: Birds.
Place to be?: Somewhere where people ain't.
Vacation spot:: In bed. Until lunchtime.
Actor:: James Spader
Actress:: Amber Benson
Comedian:: The Ones Behind Funny TV
Soap Opera:: I don't need to watch, I'm kept up to date (and very confused) by Rachel.
Day Time Talk Show:: Pure Train Wreck - gotta be Jerry
Game Show:: When it was around, Saaaaaaaale!
All Around Favorite Show:: Please see interests list on profile...

Restaurant:: The MYO next door to work (well, it's as close as I've been for a while...)
Number:: 3, 6, and anything that wins me Lotto.
Letter:: S... big guess why. ;)
Word:: Antidisestablishmentarianism
Your Short Opinion on..
George W. Bush:: *This disloyal opinion has been removed for seditious content, and the author will be contacted shortly. Luv, ASIO*.
Gay Marriage:: You want one, go for it.
Rocketing Gas Prices:: I don't drive, but if there wasn't something suss about it I'd be surprised.
Minimum Wage ($6.75):: Should be increased. And protected. And not based on things like trading off holidays and lunch breaks. Bloody howard. (and Mel, I'd rather see the pollies live on the dole, rather than minimum wage).
Drunk Driving:: Stupid. And yet nothing stops it, after all these years of .05 and breathalysers.
Legal Driving Age:: Something way in the past for me :lol:

Mary-Kate and Anorexia:: Who?
Lindsay Lohan (18) and her 23-year-old boyfriend:: So tempted to say something about The Special Hell, but the ages aren't quite that bad. Celeb couples? Who cares?
Young Marriages:: Eh. I don't think about young marriages. Haven't ever. I got well, not exactly yelled at, but close to it in class once in year 11 when asked about marriage. I said I didn't, since it wasn't going to happen for a long time anyway (hey, I don't plan next fortnight, let alone two years down-time). "(d)UUUuuhhh, we're sixteeen, it's only two years away". Hey, can I blame my never getting married on this incident?
Young Parents:: Are young. And parents.

This or That
Soda/Punch: What kind of soda and what kind of punch? Can I mix them together?
Sour/Sweet: Sweet. Usually.
Summer/Winter: Winter – I love the cold, hate the heat.
Christmas/Thanksgiving: I’m Australian, we don’t do Thanksgiving - advertisers, if you *must* recycle foreign ads, take note.

WTF? In this hemisphere (or, at least, this quarter of this hemisphere), people are lamenting the fact that most are waiting until 30 to get married.
Apparently I must've been one of the few in the group not planning on running off the the registry office as soon as I turned 18. (sure, I was more of a mind that it'd be a long shot my living 'til 30, but obviously I was just being silly, and should've been thinking about nothing but marriage, no matter reality - and not just the thought that was "it's a future thing without flying cars, I don't care").
You're strange. :P
I'm not strange, I'm just boiled/crispy fried by summer.
Ok, strange *and* boiled/crispy fried...
Okay, a serious question... do you have some kind of equivalent holiday to mark the annual harvest?
Not really. Christmas is our big get-the-family-together holiday. As far as harvests et al go, the closest would be the local/Royal Shows which vary from town to town. The big ones (ie, the capital cities) have the agricultural shows, demonstrations and pavillions, as well as all the sideshows, showbags, rides, and later in the evening spectacles and fireworks. They aren't holidays in themselves, but the big ones tend to latch on to holidays - Sydney's is during the Easter hols, and Perth's is during the spring school hols (which usually starts with the Queen's Birthday holiday).

Date: 2006-01-16 10:01 pm (UTC)I think the whole "I won't live to 30" thing is quite widespread. I used to think the same thing occasionally, and I've seen it from other online friends/acquaintances (Goji's particularly bad).
I'm not strange, I'm just boiled/crispy fried by summer.
Ok, strange *and* boiled/crispy fried...
LOL! I'm of the opinion that it's better to be boiled/crispy fried than to be turned into a living icicle. We obviously both need to win lotteries so that we can afford to fly to the other's country in November and fly back in May. We can swap accommodations - you can live in my apartment and vice-versa. (Just as long as you don't mind the Queer As Folk artwork I own. ;) )

We have festivals like that as well - the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has been going on for over 100 years, and I'm pretty sure other cities and towns have similar festivals. My main memory of going is the smells - particularly horse manure, which one can smell from the moment one gets within a kilometre of the exhibition grounds. I also remember getting a handful of cotton seeds, which were kind of interesting.
