I just read a really great bunch
of self-depreciating diatribe at my Padawan's page and man -- she is one
majory cool breed of cat. So I thought "Hmm, it's 1:30 in the morning,
you're suffering from exhaustion after swimming yourself sick at the pool
in 30 degree heat (celcius) and you trust yourself to be coherent enough
right now to write an impressive bunch of stuff that people will read and
go 'Ooh, she is funny and witty - I love her and want to worship her'?"
The answer is - no I don't. Which is why you're reading this shit.
I figure anything I come up with now will be more interesting than what
I come up with when I'm coherent.
I'm Australian. Very very Australian.
I used to be embarrassed about that fact. Then came the Sydney Olympic
Games, and I knew - no matter how Aussie I feel, I will never be as Aussie
as THOSE people.
I'm from migrant descent. I'm
half German, quarter Scottish and quarter Maltese with a dash of French.
I grew up with people who had different cultures and liked to infuse them
into our every day lives. Which means new years consists of
my German father donning a kilt and playing Auld Lang Syne. That
and rolling our easter eggs down hillocks. It's fun, you should try
it.
When I'm cold, I speak in a funny
accent. Sometimes people think I'm a pom (english, no offense to
the brits) but I'm not. I can roll my r's in any part of my mouth
with the best of them, be they German or Scot. I have this great
skin that goes this warm brown in the summer, thanks to my Gran from Malta.
I have fucking excellent legs, thanks to my skinny-arsed Dad.
And thanks to my Mumsy - I have hips that kill.
I don't swim very well.
I am good at making things, like
webpages and songs and pictures. Those three things are my
specialty, but I also dabble in writing, as you no doubt have found out.
I love musicians that love their
art.
I love my online friends. These
are people that are generally more cerebral than your average joe and a
lot more fun. I love Mel, Findley, Xeb, Misty, Kawcrow, Donna,
Diebin, Shaz, Nickle, the GJRS crew, the Angst Grrls, the WRList Grrls,
and the rest of them (if I've talked to you and liked you you know who
you are - I love you all).
I love beautiful people.
I mean truly beautiful people. Hugh Jackman is a beautiful person.
He is an artist, a husband, a goofball and a laid-back dude.
Kevin Smith (of Xena fame) is a beautiful person - he is actually much
the same, and is a hell of a lot of fun. I had the opportunity of
meeting him, and he is such a lovely person, inside and out. Jeff
Buckley was a beautiful person. His music will always be a part of
me.

I really dislike:
Needless cruelty
Capital punishment
Cat-targeting environmentalists
Most politicians
Logan/Jean fic (regardless of quality)
Gambit when he's paired with Rogue
Snooty tv show fans (Xena, Star
Trek, X-Files - take your pick)
Cat poo
Cat vomit
Smelly fishtanks
mushrooms
seafood
Cults and Self-Improvement courses
that prey on peoples' emotional weaknesses.
Mad assed religious people
My feet, my nose, my breasts and
my bum.
I really like:
Random acts of kindess
Animal-loving environmentalists
The few good politicians
Logan/Rogue fics
Gambit with Storm or Jubilee
Fun TV show fans
Cats
Happy fish
Olives, artichokes and sundried
tomatoes
Cadbury chocolate
Spiritualist Church
God
My spirit guides (especially the
one that smells like expensive oils - you rock).
My legs, my hips, my hands, my eyes,
my mouth, my shoulders, and my hair.
Movies that made me cry:
X-Men - that damned Logan/Rogue theme-music!
And all I can say is Statue of Liberty!
Titanic - Thomas Andrews dying was
the worst. I kinda laughed when Leo got it.
Dumbo - Aw come on, the Mum in Jail
scene didn't rip your heart out?
Romeo & Juliet (Modern) - Just
a sad movie, really. Guns, dead people - sad.
The Green Mile - I warn you NOT
to see this movie if you're a big human rights activist.
