My lucky number: Gimme five... Psyche! Ah, 6, you're so gullible. Probably because you're such the Loyalist—very trusting. Cheer up, your friendship is rarer than a faithful politician. And if there were more 6s out there, the world would be a better place. Only problem is, once you've been burned, your trust flees the scene like a scared rabbit. As a result, it's possible to come off a little cold and standoffish. Bad first impressions might stick with you. And if people don't pay their share of a dinner tab, it might taint your view of them as potential friends. On the other hand, your BS radar is one of the sharpest around. That's why you may prefer shooting pool with friends instead of jockeying for position at the local singles' night. As a loyal Number 6, you're short on pickup lines and long on eye contact. If you find security within yourself, you might become less affected by the mistakes of others. So if you find a little extra support in life, you'll be well on your way to joining the ranks of other famous 6s: Michelle Pfeiffer, Jay Leno, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts.
...yeah, okay.

Hi! Good day! Physics, FMaths and French were dull dull dull (oh, the big shock) but at lunchtime, we played pictionary/charades, which was so hilarious (given my complete inability to draw and Kathryn/Nina's bizarre ideas). Heehee.
Maths/Maths was very dull too, since we just started stats (zzz), but eh. On the bus it was fun! Florence was singing the sounds that the bus made all the way home and conducting and doing tempo marks (poco rit.!)
Ryan was his usual demented self (he gave me a card, as did Laura D :) I love cards!) and I made Sam laugh! :P to Lisa, I win <g>.

Jo came over yesterday, which was fun!
On Saturday, I saw Harry Potter with Ruth (did I say that already) and Kareoke King Lear, both good.
And today our darling computer has a virus. Joy.

Whoot! I just saw Harry Potter, with Ruth, Naomi and their Mum. It was so great (Lisa loves Oliver Wood, I love Quirrel), but I'm still remembering bits they missed out!

Here are Eli's answers to the questions I asked him, going with the ones I answered below.
1. Gah, you read even more than I do. Who's your favourite author?
The two I like the most, of all my favorites, are William Gibson and Patrick O'brian.
2. Do you think having two advent calendars so you can eat twice as much chocolate is a good idea?
Ma used to buy two advent calenders for the house and my brother (Dewey) and I would each get the chocolate from one, but generally, (and I think Jo will back me up on this) Yes, twice as much chocolate is always a good idea.
3. What on earth is an IATSE #600 Camera Operator card? IATSE stands for International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (and Moving Picture Technicians). The specific Union I'm in is the International Cinematographers Guild (#600), and my job is that of a Camera Operator although I work most as a Remote Head Tech (whole 'nother description here. I'm getting wordy.) The card itself is stamped every quarter when your dues are paid, making you a "card-carrying union member". I always pay late. Same with Local 80, the grip union. Late.
4. How did you meet Jo?
At The Townhouse, it's a saloon.
5. If you could have one wish, what would it be?
To build my own house, somewhere quiet, with a magical truck that drops off shiny new tools and any kind of material I want. Concrete, parachute silk, steel cable and exotic hardwoods. And Galvanised roofing. Safety glass and copper. Yeah.... that would be cool. I'd build a modern palace with an ancient library (with a tower at one end), and a river running through the kitchen.
6. How much is this starting to sound like one of those 'interviews with the stars'‚ things? (Sorry about that, by the way)
(I ran into the same problem right about here, then I took the numbers off the list and ran with it) You're doing great. If I were a star, I would love to have you interview me.
7. What was the novel you started about?
I tried to cheat actually, by doing a rewrite on something I did in college. It's science fiction 'bout addiction and affliction, set into several dreamlike realities. It's a war story, basically, full of love. The main character's name is Leon. It's titled "The Box" after the cardboard box he lives in and the tendency of human nature to erect boundaries and surpass them. It's only 30 pages, but I'll do some more next year.
8. Why are you a skeptic? Don't you even believe in aliens a tiny bit? (So that's 2 questions, ah well.)
I'm not pessimist nor optimist, but possumist. Sure I believe in aliens. Not the anal probe kind but, well they could be out there too I guess.
9. What does obviating mean?
To me it means: to meet or provide for, as an objection or difficulty, by effective measures; to make unnecessary
10. Do random people of the internet that you don't know in real life ever buy you things from your wishlist?
That hasn't happened. Does that sort of thing happen? Whatid'ja get?
11. Quote of the day = ?
"Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. "
-Frank Zappa

Blogger Insider questions from Eli.

1. What is Decemberfest? Any relation to Festivus?
Decemberfest is... well, kind of Christmas. My parents, siblings and a large proportion of my friends are Christian, so celebrate Christmas, whereas I'm pagan and celebrate Yule at around the same time. So Decemberfest is a collective name for Christmas, Yule, and any other religious festivals around the same time. And plus it's a good excuse to say 'fest' which is a great word.
2. Do people really switch jobs with their bosses on Boxing Day, or is it when everyone throws out their old boxes?
I think a lot of people don't even go to work on Boxing Day. The phrase comes from a long while ago, when Lords of the Manor gave Christmas Boxes (of presents, food and that) to their servants.
3. Yoghurt and chilli powder? Yeah, it's supposed to be a dip. But I add cucumber and eat it by the spoonful. Most of the stuff I eat originally came from putting whatever food I could find in a bowl, e.g. noodles, cheese, tomatoes and pesto. Yummy, altough really, really unhealthy.
4. Describe Rhiannon, or Kerry, or both.
Rhiannon goes to my school - she's in Year 7, I'm in Year 12 - and lives in my village, so she's one of the large group of people I get the bus with. She's insane, obsessed with hats, and shares my love of dragons.
Kerry is one of my internet friends, she's mad (a quality shared by most of my friends, actually) and she works in a bear-stuffing factory. And her foot sent me a Christmas card.
5. How do blue glasses help you see leaves?
Aah, it's the Katy-not-explaining-herself problem again. The frames are blue, not the lenses. And I use trees as a test of my glasses - if I can make out individual leaves on a tree that I'm looking at from a window, then they're strong enough.
7. Favourite tea?
Jasmine tea. Mm.
8. Speaking of colours, is silver really a colour?
Well, no, I guess not, it's a metal. How about 'the colour of a piece of silver'?
9. Vegemite or promite?
Seeing as I've never had (or heard of, actually) Promite, it'll have to be Vegemite.
10. What is the earliest obsessive behaviour you can remember?
One year at Guide camp, I named every single piece of food at every meal (great fun when you're eating peas) and ate them in alphabetical order.
11. The most longstanding?
That'd be the toast thing. I can't remember not doing that, and I do it even though my family tease me about it pretty much constantly. When you make toast, it usually bends. I turn it so it's u-shaped instead of n-shaped, then butter it. Then I add an extra bit of butter to one corner. Then I eat the two sides/crusts that join at the opposite corner. Then I eat towards the blob of butter, as near as I can without eating the other two crusts. As I have toast for breakfast every day, it gets very time consuming.
11. What did stick people ever do to you?
They're evil! They have no hands, feet, faces or width! They're monstrosities! :o)
12. Is there any relation between green leaves/blue glasses and your dad thinking blue/green is a bad combo for clothes? (I think he's wrong, but particular shades would matter.)
Um... no. But thank you for agreeing with me!
13. Do blue jeans and a green shirt count?
Yes, apparently: blue and green should never be seen (just because it rhymes, doesn't mean it's true, father dearest).
14. Is there anything you could have done to make it harder for me to ask you questions that posting the answers to over 300 of them on your site? :P
I could be psychic and answer them before you asked me, maybe? <g>
15. What are your school colours, or do you have to wear a Potter-type uniform?
Everyone wears a uniform (blue sweatshirt, blue shirt, blue skirt) except years 12 and 13. I'm year 12, so I can wear what I like so long as it doesn't 'distract' the staff.
16. Do we really gain insight into ourselves through internet tests, or is it hooey?
I doubt we get anything useful out of it, but it's a good timesuck :)

Grace was on the bus today, here is one of her less obscene jokes:

I spent most of physics drawing transvestite giraffes, because I was bored and Sam was at KKL rehearsals. It's very bizarre, but eh.
Fun day! Rhiannon is cool, yeah.

from an article on Harry Potter being evil:
"A news report on 11-16-01 showed a clip of the movie. A cat TRANSFORMS into a woman. The movie/books may be “fantasy“ to some, but witches and anyone with the knowledge can really TRANSFORM into animals and back. The power comes from the devil. (You don't think God would do this, do you?)"
Bwahahaha!

According to a sign in my shop, I have so far saved 59.5 lives.
Shame about that 1/2 person.

what the hell does 'iditarod' mean? Ooh, dictionary, come here! ...not in the dictionary. Maybe not actually a word, then?
Yesterday I went to sleep with wet hair, and my hair is now huge.
Argh.

I'm having such a good day, and it's only 3pm!
Julie and Michael both gave me a lift to work today (d'you know, they're the only people in the world that call me Katy Jean still?), and work was brilliant in itself.
I used the credit card machine without breaking it, talked to Louis, Rosie, Pascale, and various other people. Matthew and Luke came into my shop and bought things - although while they were there I had to go to the bank, and during this time Louis gave Matthew 30p to pay for a book. Don't you love Louis?
I've done all my DecemberFest shopping except for Grandad, and also bought stuff for me - RHPS piano music, and a print from the shop. It's of one of the pictures from 'Where the Wild Things Are' by Mavna Sendack (if I'm reading it right), which I love - it's Max and a monster.
And I got my new, blue glasses. Yay, I can see leaves again! I always measure how good my glasses are by whether I can see leaves, now.
And Amy's here, and we're watching Charlie's Angels. With the guy I love (but never remember the name of). He was in Groundhog's Day, and Ghostbusters, as well. Anyone know?

"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." (quote from streettech)
