20 THINGS ABOUT ME
Well I’ve been tagged by
Justine so here are 20 facts about me:
1. I hate my middle name: John. So boring and conservative. I dream about changing it to Krzysztof.
2. After a really heavy, and I mean REALLY heavy, night of drinking I have been taken in an ambulance to hospital and had my stomach pumped.
3. I love Punk/Emo/Hardcore music and despise Dance, Techno, House, R’n’B, Hip Hop, Rap and Heavy Metal.
4. I suffer from severe bi-polar disorder (my posts don’t give it away do they?)
5. I have one big bourgeois extravagance; I am a huge movie buff, and have over 600 DVDs and 200 Videos. However I hate your typical Hollywood Blockbuster; give me European Cinema any day.
6. I have lived one of my dreams; I got to go up to John Howard one day and abuse him.
7. I was raised as a devout Roman Catholic, but I am now a die hard atheist.
8. I don’t have a driver’s license, or obviously, a car. I have made a conscience decision to never own a car; they are so destructive to the environment and people can do without them.
9. Rather than go into the legal profession after I left university I worked as a storeman. Seriously.
10. At the age of 29 nothing makes me more nervous than asking a woman out. I have no problem standing up to give a speech in front of hundreds of people I don’t know on 5 minutes notice (I have done this on a number of occasions) but asking a woman out still scares the living daylights out of me.
11. The love of my life at the moment is my ten month old Nephew: I look forward to seeing, nursing and kissing him more than anything else in the world.
12. I usually read 2 or 3 books a week.
13. I can play the saxophone.
14. Some of my ancestors were members of Genghis Khan’s army that settled in what is modern day Ukraine.
15. The first band I ever saw perform live was Roxette. What the hell was I thinking?
16. I know how to swear in Arabic.
17. In case you don’t know, I love watching the Simpsons. I will never tire of this show.
18. My entire "professional life" (you know those jobs that require a degree, even though you rarely, if ever, use it) has been spent working for Unions.
19. I haven’t had a holiday in 5 years, and in the same time I have only had one sick day.
20. Um, my eyes are a mixture of Blue and Green. When the light is dark they look very green, when the light is bright they look very blue.
So who do I tag. Well firstly, despite her lies, AOF . Hmmm, then how about
woman with a patch fetish
Oh and then the lady with the
Luscious Lips
Lastly there is the
Russian Princess
Oh, why not one more the
Emo Girl

AAAHAHAHA! Man do they know how to pick their audience!
Nice 20 Alex. What if its hardcore dance music, is that acceptable? What about dancey thrash? Is headbanging considered a form of dance? I'm splitting hairs here aren't I...
By the way, I've never thought you seemed like, "Whoa, here's someone with bi-polar!" I just think you've got some stuff to say. In case you were wondering :-)

you get another pic of the little girl and 20 factettes, but really, you will probably wish that you never asked...

There is something really beautiful about a mna who still gets nervous about asking a woman out.. I love a gentelman.

1. I agree - why does every parent give their male child a middle name starting with J? Was this a phase everyone was going through at the time?
4. No, I just thought you were pissed off at the world for the entirely legitimate reasons that exist.
6. It's just not fair really, I say we lobby government for every Australian to get to exercise their right to abuse Howard. It can be like a carnival - you pay $10 to charity, and he has to sit there and cop it. Heck, he could even go on tour, it'd make a great retirement opportunity.
12. This is probably due to 10. Can't read books when you 'have to' do the dishes.
18. This makes you a legend. I take my hat and anything else sitting on my head off to you. Could you imagine a world without union lawyers??

Justine: putting together hardcore with dance is a misuse of the term hardcore. Hardcore and dance are like oil and water, they don't mix!
Chop Suey; You're lucky I didn't call you sk8er girl : )
AOF; Love that toothy grin
Rex: I blame my Catholic upbringing for a lot, but the bi-polar is genetic. As for the Hip hop, I hate the sound and "rhythm" (I use the term very losely)
MG: it was fun, though getting man-handled by security afterwards wasn't
Sally: I assume the worst in people (that way you are never disappointed) that is why I stil get so nervous; I think they will laugh in my face.
Larry: You carnival idea is good, but I have a better one. Even though I hate them, how about a reality show: Who wants to assasinate a Coalition politician? Contestants have to assasinate as many Coalition politicians as possible; the person who assasinates the most wins. People can call and SMS on those pay lines as to which Coalition politician will be assasinated next and who will be the winner, and the money this generates can go to hospitals and education! ASIO, are you monitoring this?
Oh and how can I forget you anon; thanks for the income advice!

Amusing that you've apparently worked five years without a vaction to ensure that workers get vacations...
3:36 pm
If you ever have a spare $41 you can action No. 1.
Just go to Births, Deaths, Marriages in your state and they'll change your name for you.

I've just gotten back, Aleks. Consider me pink, like a nubile intern geared up to please. Oh, how I love games. I'll take this tagging to heart, belatedly I know. Forgive me?
1:47 pm
You swear in Arabic? I can talk dirty in Persian.
KH turn anybody on?
