Hey everyone!

Congratulations to America on making the right choice, and to Barack Obama who fought long and hard for the good of the people.

He deserves it. The people of America deserve it.

I watched the election coverage live over here, and I saw Obama's speech. The man is such an incredible, inspirational force...I've never seen scenes of joy and hope like those of the Democrat supporters tonight in my entire life. I was moved to tears, and I haven't struggled or fought like Obama or many of his supporters have.

I couldn't have been happier to see history being made. Disagree with me all you like, but I'm a strong supporter of gay marriages and anti-gun laws. Obama is the president that people need now. Plus, I don't think I could stand four more years of Sarah Palin.

I hope everyone tomorrow will wake up with a new bout of inspiration and believe in the words "Yes we can." I certainly will.

xoxo

Yet another quiz I stole off Sienna. Oh what would I do without you?

A
Are you available?
Sure. *Insert corny pick-up line*

B
Do you know anyone named Brian?
Uh...no. Sadly not.

When is your birthday?
December 3rd

C
What's your favourite candy?
Usually snakes. The Allen's ones. Except for the bule ones. Who's crappy idea was it to replace purple with BLUE? Eugh.

What kind of car do you have?
A non-existent one. And no...it's not just invisible like the one out of Die Another Day.

Who do you have a crush on?
A bunch of really hot guy celebrities that are probably old enough to be my dad. But other than that...no-one

D
Do you daydream?
Oh yeah. Every day. Especially at exam time. I even fall asleep and dream after tests.

What's your favourite kind of dog?
Those one's with the floppy ears. I think they're called Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Ignore the pompus royal name...focus on the ears and eyes. Awwww...

E
Have you ever been in the emergency room?
I've been in intesive care when I was a baby. I didn't get out of hospital till January or something. That was when hospitals were actually worth going to, and you wouldn't die waiting.

Ever pet an elephant?
No...sounds cool though. I should go to the zoo and see if I can.

What are you eating right now?
Really bad grapes.

F
Do you use fly swatters?
No. I use fly spray. That way you don't get fly guts everywhere.

Is there a fan in your room?
Yup...and I was using it a couple of nights ago. It's cold now though. Our Sydney weather is whacked.

G
Do you chew gum?
Not really anymore. I got over that fad in year 6.

Do you like Gory movies?
No. I can, however watch every gory crime show on tv and barely squirm.

H
How are you?
Not bad. Slightly more relaxed than I was on monday. 6 exams down, 3 to go.

What's your height?
165/66cm...which translates to...5'5/5'6

What colour is your hair?
Dark brown

I
Have you ever ice skated?
No, I want to though. However, I'd probably fail miserably.

Ever been in an igloo?
No. Sadly not. Nor have I participated in any nose-rubbing ceremonies. Oh ok. That was mean. I shouldn't mock the eskimos. I love them really.

J
Favourite Jelly Bean?
Red, purple or orange. Just like any other multi-coloured lollies.

Do you wear jewellery?
Yeah Sometimes. Mum works in a jewellery store.

K
Who do you want to kill?
My maths teacher. She's horrible. She gossips to all the "popular" girls in my ****and yells at my friend and I for saying a word to each other. She threw my friend out the other day. It was freezing.

Have you ever flown a kite?
Oh yeah. Loads of times. I had a really cool kite too.

Do you think kangaroos are cute?
Ha! This quiz is so American. And since i'm Australian, I'm going to have to say yes. They are very cute.

L
Are you laid back?
I think so...hope so. Probably not at the moment though. Exams don't make me laid back.

Lions or Tigers?
Tigers. I have a thing for stripes.

Do you like black licorice?
Yep. I think I'm one of the only people who does.

M
Favourite store at the mall?
Hey Sienna...you watch Gilmore Girls! Cool! You're like the only Aussie I know that does. Anyway, I have to say Esprit.

Favourite movie?
Oh too many to name. And I can't even think through all the movies I've seen.

N
Do you have a nickname?
Not really. My friend calls me the Ellevator though.

Do you prefer night or day?
Night. Because I go to all the raves.

O

Yes. And I probably am spoiled, but I stop at the assumption that I'm stuck up though.

Yep. Green's better though.

P
Do you know anyone named Penelope?
No. My god. I've just realised how many people I don't know.

No. We had a medieveal feast in year 7 and I stared at the quail and had to resist the urge to throw up.

R

Do you think you're always right?
No. Of course not.

Do you watch Reality TV?
Apart from Australian Idol, no.

Yep. It may even be better than rain.

T
What time is it?
6:40pm

What time did you wake up?
7:25am

U
Can you ride a unicycle?
I can't even really ride a bike, so a bike with one wheel would be a disaster.

V

Sadly not. I've heard my friends sing the theme song about 20928502384523 times though.

W
What's your worst habit?
My ability to change moods very quickly. One minute I'm depressed, next minute i'm happy. I swear I'm not bipolar though. Just a teenager.

Do you yell when you're angry?
Oh yeah. I go all quiet and if you bug me, you're in trouble.

It is strangely accurate. Except for the fact I'm not half-man half horse. But as Billy Connolly put it, I do have a license to s**t in the street. Love that Joke.

Hey everyone.

Stole this off Sienna who I'm sure stole it off other people. I wonder who makes these quizzes...probably people with way too much time on their hands, but I do thank them, considering I also have too much time on my hands and have nothing to do but these quizzes. This one's way cool though.

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

And the results are *drumroll*:

Opening Credits: "Here Comes the Sun" - The Beatles.

Waking Up: "Older Chests" - Damien Rice

First Day At School: "Hide and Seek" - Originally by Imogen Heap, but Ben sung it on Idol and I downloaded, so this is his version. Pretty damn accurate too "Where are we? What the hell is going on?" lol

Falling In Love: "Everybody Wants You" - Damone...ok that is SO not a love song.

Fight Song: "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors" - Editors

Breaking Up: "Boston" - Augustana...OMG the PERFECT song. Seriously. It's so sad. It's also one of my faves though.

Prom: "If the Rain Must Fall" - James Morrison

Life: "Stuck in a Moment" - U2...oh wow. That's a GREAT song for this question. Strangely like my life too. Sometimes.

Mental Breakdown: LOL "Sharpest Lives" - My Chemical Romance...dear God. So emo. Very mental breakdown

Driving: "Signal Fire" - Snow Patrol...LOVE this song.

Flashback: "False Alarm" - KT Tunstall

Getting back together: "Famous Last Words" - My Chemical Romance...ok, that's WAY more breaking up. I think if that song came on while I was getting back together with someone, I'd get a bit worried. Great song though.

Losing your virginity: "Hanging by a Moment" - Lifehouse...oh how cheesy is THAT?!

Wedding: LOL "Pretty Vegas" INXS...I don't know what kind of shady criminal wedding I'd have there. It'd be way cool though.

Birth of Child: "Stay with You" - Goo Goo Dolls. Oh that'd be nice.

Final Battle: "Save Tonight" - Eagle Eye Cherry...strange. Very strange.

Death Scene: Wow. "Twilight" - Vanessa Carlton. Always reminded me of Kate's death on NCIS. Really, really sad song.

Funeral Song: "Low" - Coldplay. Aww, at least if it was going to be a Coldplay song, couldn't it have been "The Scientist"? I'd seriously want that played at my funeral.

End Credits: HAHAHAHAH...I'm not even making this up... "I'm too Sexy" - Right Said Fred. HAHAHAHAH. Oh don't I wish...

Ok, feel free to steal.

xoxo
