1984
I've finally read Nineteen Eighty- Four. I've been meaning to for years. I'm glad I did but it's not what I was expecting, somehow. I'm not quite sure what I expected, but this wasn't it. I knew it was going to be depressing though, so it wasn't that. | | Sunday, May 4th, 2008 | | 1:00 am |
Look Mum, I'm using html!

Oh I'm so relieved! I've finally got back quite a bit of my enthusiasm for miniatures! I was at our 'local' miniatures shop today, and Mum and I bought wallpaper and flooring and skirting boards and cornices and picture rails and chair rails for a room box we're making, and I just suddenly got excited about the project(s) again! Great feeling. | | Monday, April 14th, 2008 | | 11:51 am |
Birthday
Does anyone have any birthday related icons that they'd be willing to share with me? It's for a forum's third birthday. | | Sunday, April 13th, 2008 | | 4:58 pm |

Great, yet something else that's crap about this week. | | Friday, April 11th, 2008 | | 11:48 am |
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) samelthecamel gave me this idea. 1. Randomly pick a song from your music library. 2. Find the lyrics for the first four verses/chorus 3. Go to Google translation and translate the lyrics from English into German. 4. Take the new German lyrics and translate them into French. 5. Take the new French lyrics and translate them into English. 6. Post the NEW English lyrics and have people guess the original song. When do I become older, my hair henceforth losing many years the will that you send however Valentine greetings to me of a birthday, bottle of the wine? If I became be outside, until the quarter with the door would close you three with key? Do you require me however, the will that you return however me, if I am sixty-furnace? They are also and if you say the word, I could remain with you older Another one I think! They say that we do not have anything in COMMON communal ground at the beginning and we say to you with share, the world between we came which our lives came between us, me know however that you precisely are not interested CHORAL SOCIETY: And I said, which on "the lunch with of Tiffanys?" She said "that I think that I remember film, and I recall, it thinks me, us that both wanted a bischen." And I guaranteed, "who one thing that, we have." I see you - only that is which knew me and now, your eyes by me that, I to see regard which I was so false to which now? One must see normally that us rueber its and me hatred, when things are a surplus - when annuliert so much is left | | Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 | | 11:47 pm |
Books I Should Read
I want to read more books.
What books would you recommend to me? What books do you just know I'll love, (reminder: I hate tragedy. Really. Just don't.) or do you think 'everyone' should read?
I've put 1984 on my list because a friend is consistently shocked that I haven't read it. :P | | Thursday, March 20th, 2008 | | 11:08 am |
Content Strike he one-day content strike is on for this Friday, March 21, from midnight GMT to midnight GMT. For 24 hours, we will not post or comment to LJ. Not in our own journals, not in communities. Not publicly, privately, or under friends-lock. This is a protest that will have long-lasting effects, showing up forever in the daily posting statistics. This is a protest that will not harm LJ in the long run, as leaving LJ might do. This is a protest that will demonstrate the power of community, as all users unite to support Basic users and the concept of adfree space. This is a protest that will educate the new owners that LJ is driven by user-created content. How Can I Help? DO post about this in your own LJ. DO post and comment about it in appropriate communities. DO remember that it's based on Greenwich Mean Time, which may not be your local time. DO turn off LoudTwitter and your RSS feeds for 24 hours. DO feel free to friend  beckyzoole for updates, and defriend when the strike is over. DON'T forget to get permission from community mods before making an off-topic post or comment about the strike. DON'T be spammy with your posts or comments about the strike. DON'T forget to turn your LoudTwitter and RSS feeds back on when the strike is over. Why is there a Content Strike on Friday March 21, from midnight to midnight GMT We are holding the Content Strike because we want to demonstrate that LiveJournal is content-driven. We are holding the Content Strike because we want the new owners of LiveJournal to better understand the power and resolve of the LJ Community of Users. We are holding the Content Strike because all of us, Paid, Permanent and Plus users as well as Basic, want to demonstrate our solidarity as a Community of Users. We do not consider Basic users to be freeloaders, we consider them to be valuable content-providers and Friends. We are holding the Content Strike because we ache to do something to show our displeasure, and commenting on the news post -- even with cat macros -- just isn't powerful enough! beckyzoole will be emailing and snail-mailing SUP that the strike has four terms: 1. Restore basic accounts for new account creation.
2. Inform users before any change to the site that affects how we use the site or demands on our resources.
3. Run change proposals by the Advisory Board and take their advice into account before implementation of any change.
4. Homophobia, misogyny, and racism must not be a part of the decision making processes about appropriate content of the site, including what user interests are deemed appropriate. | | Monday, February 18th, 2008 | | 3:34 pm |
Last night I had a dream that there was an eel following me around in the house. At one point it grew legs. And I could open the door and be all 'come on! come here!' and it 'ran' outside... but then it wanted to come back in. Woo, random eel following me about!
Someone also set fire to part of my house and for some reason I couldn't call 000. I called, but there was no answer, they didn't take it seriously.
hmn. Anyone care to interpret? | | Monday, February 11th, 2008 | | 1:54 pm |
Anyone Australian Planning to buy online from Sony?

Michoo
Who thinks Michoo would be a good name for the combination of Microsoft and Yahoo? | | Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 | | 6:13 pm |
Woo I's sellin' stuff!
Anyone want some 'sludge'? I made 27 lots of it the other day for my Mum's class, and I thought I might as well offer to make people some. I'll be selling it for around $5, (because I'll need to buy the supplies for it, such as the packaging and the ingredients, and for the time it takes me to make it and clean up and so forth) but it lasts ages, is really fun, and I'd try to make it in your choice of colour. (Though, they do tend to come out a sort of pastel version of the colour) And $5 would get you about 200 grams of it.
It's not like the recipe is a secret, but most people 'can't be bothered' so it's probably just easier to buy it made. And if you're like me, you like something to fiddle with. Or it's good for a present for a child.
What is it? Well, it's this... stuff. It's like gak from the 90s, if you remember that stuff. It's putty like, but runny, and you can stretch it, or 'snap' it if you pull it faster. It almost always feels 'cool' to the touch.
I'd prefer to only offer this to Adelaide people because that way I can just hand it to you. But if you're out of Adelaide and want it, I'd have to figure out how exactly to pack and send the stuff, (ie, help me! Come up with ways! :P) and you'd have to pay for postage too. But I'd personally be willing at this stage to do that, but I might have to go back on my word with that. Also payment would be harder but I suppose we could figure something out. | | Sunday, December 23rd, 2007 | | 5:10 pm |
Does your new year's resolution involve doing more writing, art, music or craft? Are you an actor or musician? Got some supplies for Christmas now want to know what to do with them? http://www.notebookinhand.comA forum for writers (of anything!), arty people (any style!), musicians, actors and other creative types. Come for the help. Stay for the insanity. Also if you're an active member, and have things to sell, we have a shop that you can, on request, put links to your things for sale in. | | Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 | | 3:16 pm |
hahaha
Okay I just have to laugh at this.
Person A: Wow, there's nothing as pig-ignorant as a bunch of Americans who think the entire world functions exactly like America, is there? "Oh I won't be paranoid, what's going to happen to meeeeee?" sheesh.
Person B: I think Americans know pretty well that bad things can happen to us. The most heinous terrorist attack in history happened on our soil, after all. Sort of "pig-ignorant" to forget that and make such a sweeping statement, I think. Couple of planes? Couple of towers? Lots of dead people? Ring any bells?
Person C, in response to person B: OWNED!
Person D, E, F, G in response to B, paraphrased: ... wtf | | Friday, November 30th, 2007 | | 3:44 pm |
Typed up here as a record, as I have to throw the article out as it's taking up space. This is an article that a Family First party member wrote, to encourage us to vote for him. And I was very annoyed by it. They started off well, and at the end it just got insulting and also reminded me exactly why I don't like them.
"Chance to put your family first"
Blah blah, stuff about families wanting a party in touch with the issues that matter to them, such as skyrocketing petrol and grocery prices, rising interest rates, our precious environment and the challenges of raising kids and providing for their future, ie, Family First.
Okay, sounds fair enough, right? They continue to say that they have plans to
cut petrol tax, guarantee penalty rates and public holidays for all workers, give tax breaks to first home buyers, give all families with children under five a new $4000 childcare payment every year, boost the pension by $70 every fortnight for all pensioners, give all carers four weeks annual leave and more respite facilities, train more doctors and nurses.
All stuff that sounds great.
Then they say this. "South Austrlaians must also decide if they want Family First of the Greens to have the balance of power in the Senate. The Greens are extreme. Do you know they want drug injecting rooms and to legalise drugs such as cannabis and ice for personal use? Do you know the Greens want same-sex marriage and to strip $1 billion from non government schools?"
And that's how they end the article. *sigh* morons. In several ways. |
