He's mine, as well(:
I love your profile, too(:

I'm not sure if we've ever talked before (but I havent been on Mibba in forever, so I don't recognize most people) but I knew I had to befriend you because of your wonderful username. (:

:D
No problem.

Is it a big desk? The only reason I got a big desk was because it means that somewhere among the mess on my desk there is some room to do homework. XD

I didn't know that, but chlorine pools smell bad...my brother & I complained about it ten times today when our mother (step-mother to me) decided to venture in & look around. -sigh- That's absolutely gorgeous. I've seen wild ones, when I went on my Godmother's parent's boat but that was when I was eleven. It was gorgeous. I've never been to the aquarium before.

Today I learnt that any driver than travels interstate has to start obeying their rules once they cross the boundaries which is screwed. Basically, in South Australia they can have five passengers aged 16-24 in their car but the moment they cross the Victoria border four of those passengers have to be gone. This is for red P-platers...Victorian laws for driving restrictions make me want to hurt those hoons so badly. T_T That's hilarious, we don't have any of that...we have more racist jokes...

I don't know, she just went there to volunteer for a few years. She deferred from university for a few years...I should probably ask my parents about her sometime. XD

I don't know because it depends on the company. I'm sure they'll be a little more discriminatory against women because of the work. Maybe minerals, but I'd prefer planetary geology or something to do with space. I haven't heard that. XD Um, I'm doing a Bachelor of Science. Are you on holidays now?

I love irises & orchids & belladonna lilies. They're gorgeous. Daisies are adorable; I hate petunias...they're disgusting. Do you have any plants/flowers you don't like?

That's nice though, my brother didn't get many hand-me-downs from me because well, I didn't have much to hand-me-down with at the time. It's always be customary for us to wait until our birthdays to get things we need/want etc. There's nothing wrong with it just yeah...similar to you kind of.

I have yet to get on one successfully...I don't like chlorine pools though. They irritate my skin & I always feel muggy & hot after them. The sea's nice though, have you ever seen dolphins?

Yeah, just a lot of effort & chance of government fines. My dad does it though because he has a Western Australian license & to get the Victorian license he would have to start from his learners all over again.

Not only would you have something to write about, you'd have experienced the emotion that needs to be incorporated into those songs. Africa's nice, that's where I cousin on my half-brother's side has gone. She's pale, that's not stopping her. Plus, it's an experience, just take loads of sunscreen with you. I'm 'dark' but I'd take sunscreen. Tanning is skin cells in trauma.

Maybe Planetary Geology, it would be exciting, a definite career or I could always go into the mining industry as well with geology. I'm the same with uni work...right now I'm procrastinating studying.

Got a favourite flower?

Plus Matt Smith isn't that hard on the eyes either. XD Oh, that would just be fantastic, plus they used to be friend back in the centuries.

You could if you really want it, that's what my brother did with his birthday money 'cept that he got a PSP instead. My brother's finally entered the 'talking back' stage of life. I'm proud of him, just he cries when he doesn't get his why or is right which...means he's a long way from debating. XD I know I went through that stage, did you?

Yes, as well as those floating chairs! I've always wanted to lay on one of those.

I know right? It makes Victoria look like the Nazi state compared to the other states who are more lenient. South Australia only need 50 hours, the gits, and yours probably works a lot better. I think it's unfair we have to suffer fro a minority, then my parents wondered why I didn't want to drive for so long...we have to pay a fine if we fail any of our tests. Then rebook. Most people don't get their license on the first test. Victoria has the highest road toll in Australia apparently...they're trying to decrease it by making everyone suffer 'cause of the hoons on the road...but they don't care. They keep driving like douchebags, they should be prosecuted more harshly personally.

You just keep doing what you want to do. You never know, you could do Peace Corps then become a musician sometime later on in your life. Is there any particular place you would like to work as a Peace Corp? I'm hoping to do a double major in Astronomy & Geosciences so that I might be able to continue on into planetary geology. It just means I might actually have to some work. I'm an avid procrastinator...are you?

Indeed he would've been, plus he's a genius. XD Um, I don't think you can compare The Doctors since they're all so different, it's rather whether the actor portray a convincing persona while maintaining the essence of The Doctor. You know that aura that allows you to know that this person, no matter what regeneration is The Doctor? Smith's done that. What about you?

Do you have a birthday anytime soon? An excuse to get it? Maybe your parents will understand.

That's ironic! Hopefully the pool won't be that deep & you might have noodles! They save lives. I'd loved to see the things you photograph, you already appear to have an aesthetic eye.

Depends on the state, here in Victoria you get your red P-plates at 18 (You can only have one passenger aged between 16-24 (I think) in your car, any other ages you can have multiple passengers), but you have to pass a Hazards test as well as have at least completed 120 hours of practice driving with a minimum of 10 hours of nighttime driving included in those hours. This is all kept in a log book which is monitored by a person with a full driver's license, such as your parents or instructor.

The minimum age to get your learners is 16 here. It gets even more complicated, since you only have your red P-plates for 1 year, then if you have a clean record you can gain your green P-plates which you have for two years. After those two years (all P-platers must have 0.0 ABL), if you have a good driving history you get your full driver's license. However, they're planning to up the practice driving hours to 200 & add in blue P-plates which prolongs the time to get your full driver's license. The way it's going, most people won't have their full license until they're at least 23/24. -sigh- Does it differ for states in America?

True, however some people are content like that. My brother is, I can't settle for it. It doesn't satisfy me. I had this conversation with an elderly customer at work, because she found life mundane, no point in living. She was 70 at best guess, she travelled, saw the world. To be optimistic I told her that each day is a blessing because it is never exactly the same as the last, that today only occurs once in history. That no one will mark a day the same as she has done, nor utter, nor tread or do anything identical to today. Though one day may be insignificant in the grander scheme of things it's still the most important, because it's her life & that's precious as it gets.

Anyway, I'll cease my rambling....what do you want to do with your life?

I would love to have a TARDIS but you have to pass the academy first, so you can earn your TARDIS. To be honest, being a Time Lord the way they normally live would be such a repetition, no wonder The Doctor & The Master left...still miffed that The Master is trapped in the Time Lock with the rest of the Time War now but you don't want to hear me rant. XD

Yes, we have [i]Max Brenners[/i], [i]KoKo Black[/i] some other one that I don't remember. At [i]Max Brenners[/i] you can get chocolate pizzas with all types of sweets on it. It's absolutely mad but their hot chocolates are lovely though. To die for. -sigh- Hersheys sounds pretty epic.

There's got to be a better way. I'm sure you'll find a cheaper. =)

That's awesome though, it's an interest, makes life more interesting. Don't worry, I can't swim...it'll be ironic if that's my cause of death, drowning. I've never entered an Art Show, I'm not that competitive really. My artwork has been featured in little things though like the yearbook etc...I love art, I really miss it too.

No, I don't drive. I could if I had the hours to go for my p-plates but I don't. That's a lovely car; I want a jeep/yute as a car though...even if I'm not on a farm.

Thank you! I'm not the only one! I'm still trying to comprehend how people can live with themselves, with a repetitious office-job every day, be content just staying where they are. I mean, there's so much out there to see, why not?

It is, just so long to travel around in. We need technology where we can accelerate around the universe much more rapidly, then it'd be set, less strenuous.

Um, well my step-mum & I are still choosing. XD For real? We have chocolate restaurants here. They're pretty awesome. What do you eat for your chocolate meal?

Maybe con your parents into getting you some photo friendly paper & ink. Or you can always print them at one of those booths at the pharmacy.

Why boats may I ask? I draw faces, particularly eyes...eyes are gorgeous but they creep me out so much because it's always...watching...yes, I'm a paranoid android.

What car do you want? Yes, I work as a service cashier, fun, fun, fun. The pay's alright, just customers can be a bother sometimes...not to mention repetition. I don't like repetition, do you?

Thanks, I love space. How majestic would it be to travel in?

Oh, that sounds fun! What amusement park? I'm planning to take my friends out to the city clubbing for exam celebration. Not my type of thing, but my friends enjoy it so I'm willing to sacrifice. I might see if I can go to the theatre as well. =)

Well, if you're starting out it's good to go with that. That's what my parents would say. XD

Awesome, what type of things would you like to paint? Do you have a particular favourite style you paint in? (I'm a hopeless impressionist but I try nevertheless)

Bulk is a pain when you're a service cashier. Do you work at all?

Whoa, I'm impressed. I've gotten to the point where I'm too lazy to change my profile, HTML/CSS coding it tedious sometimes.

I s'pose. XD

I'm impressed, not everyone acknowledges that summer is at a different time down here in Australia. Yes, it is winter here...frightfully cold as usual. Have you got much planned for your summer? Paint the town red?

I'm sure you'll get the chose the right one eventually. You could start a photography wall! =D

About two & a half years (2005-mid2007), it was ridiculous. You know what always irked me was that you couldn't get gold leaf paper in small packets or by the sheets, [i]no[/i] it had to be bulk & about $35 AUS...and all I wanted was one sheet. Acrylic paints are expensive too. Do you do much Art?

I like your current profile. You change it a lot don't you?

Yeah, that's what I figured but we still have to attend tutorials & laboratory classes. I guess they just want a consistent progress.

Yeah, well I'm going to make it my holidays project which should be fun.

I haven't seen [i]The Hangover[/i] yet to be honest, but I'll take your word for it. It's not that bad, it's not as bad as pulling an all-nighter than rocking up for work/school the next day. Those I can say are worse.

Oh, that should be fun. What type of camera do you have in mind?

Um, I used to collect my metlink tickets but I stopped that after 700 because it got boring...and cluttered. I'm a bibliophile, I collect books, hoard them like a magpie with shiny objects. Also coloured pencils & art supplies...and we all know how expensive art supplies can get. T_T

Whoa, with our online tests at uni they're released by weeks. If we've finished that weeks work we cannot begin the next weeks...it's a downright pain sometimes. Still it's pretty awesome you finished early. =)

That's awesome! Um, I have no idea. I used to have a feature wall when I was 17, filled with AFI posters, Green Day etc but I've changed since then. Maybe just a collection of things I like...like bonbons.

The drunker you get the worse the alcohol tastes (you'd think that'd be a sign for some people), except for cruisers because they taste like cordial. I have had a few hangovers before. New Year's Day was my first, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I felt nauseous, & had a headache...I don't get bad hangovers which is weird. I just get really, [i]really[/i] emotional that I cry over [i]everything.[/i] I don't think it's the hangover that's terrifying, it's when you wake up the next morning & realise what you said/did last night. Now that has its own category of mortification...it was enough to put me off heavily drinking, plus you feel lethargic for days afterwards...depending on what you drunk. -shrug-

Do you collect anything as a hobby?

That is exactly like Mastering Biology at uni. If you get the answer wrong you have another shot at it. However, the whole exercise is meant to help teach you the coursework, but it's still a good system & it counts as part of the grade. XD

Posters are awesome. What type of posts will you put up? I've been planning to great a feature wall for years....still hasn't happened.

Yes I am. Here in Australia you have to be 18 to legally drink, I'm 19. Dudes, I'm one of those people! It's not lame at all. It means that you'll probably drink in moderation, rather than intend to get drunk like a lot of people my age. Just do what you want, it's your body. Plus, there's no pressure. We're only young once...maybe except for me who still looks like a 14 year old. XD

Maybe the medication stopped that self-doubting part of your brain muddle your answers. I find that if I study for things I over-analyse, that's my worst trait & as a result I can come to some ridiculously unbelievable conclusions. Yeah, I mean that with the separation idea. We don't do that here in Victoria, Australia (don't know about the other states, they run on different educational systems). We had General Maths (more business like maths), Maths Methods (harder maths, venturing to more calculus & algebra) & Specialist Maths (most difficult, like Physics Maths except [i]much[/i] worse). That's for high school though...university is a lot simpler. :/

Best part about online tests for university is that it's always open book. XD

Ah, you'll figure one out in all good time.

I wish my elder brother did that for me, but no, he mocked that he drunk the bottle of wine I had my eye on. Slightly miffed. Do you drink or ever want to?

Pfft, Maths is a bitch. I [b]hate[/b] that subject beyond belief but I have to study as it's prerequisites for other subjects next year. You're doing a lot of Maths; do they separate the topics of Maths into individual subjects at your school? I wish I did latin, it would make a lot of the names in Biology easier to learn. What's theology like?

I love IKEA! My desk & bed are from IKEA. I love the examples of ideal apartments in small square foot areas. It wouldn't be ideal for me because I'm so disorganised! It would never be that neat. Have fun painting though! Are you going to have a feature wall?

Haha, I don't get it that bad. My elder brother scolds me when he comes down, antagonises etc but I talk back because I behave more like the eldest as opposed to the middle child...much to my father's displeasure. I'm fantastic at creating arguments. XD What about you?

Oh, that's absolutely horrible! I remember on [i]Sunrise[/i] last year there was a debate about legalization of same-sex marriage in Australia & the Christian minister who was opposed to the concept said something along the lines of: "If you legalize same-sex marriage you might as well allow a person to marry a cow." I think that was absolutely derogative; my grandparents never talked about my uncle much because he's gay, neither does he have much to do with the family. I miss a lot actually. :/

Um, I've got exams for Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences & Maths coming up for uni. Next semester I'm dropping Biology to pick up astronomy. What subjects are you currently doing?

That's sweet! Grey & blue combo?

Um, my elder brother lives with his wife though. So I get treated like the eldest most of the time but when my elder brother visits I suddenly become the middle child. A weird combination I must confess.

Conservative people tend to be invidious when someone challenges their beliefs. I know it's generalising & acknowledge there's exceptions but that's just my opinion :/ We weren't allowed to cover the topic of sexuality at school which I understood why but it's just foolish to declare it doesn't exist. I thought it was condescending.

What? That's unfair! Our high school Physics class never did that! Ah well. I wish I had the History Channel. :(

I have two half-brothers, one elder one & a younger one. My younger one is a pain, but I still love him. N'aw, you're the youngest, that's so sweet. I remember when I got treated like the youngest until my brother popped out. XD

Ah, I had the same thing happen in year 11. I'm atheist myself & I went to a Catholic school a few of my friends are uncomfortable about it. Religion is a tricky subject particularly if you come from a Catholic upbringing, there is no such thing as atheism to them. I'm sure there are others just they're not as verbal about as you. It takes a lot of courage to say you're atheist because people abruptly ridicule you, which is rather discriminatory & if I'm correct against Christian Doctrine.

Doctor Who is my favourite show by far. I adore Mythbusters, Merlin as well & if I get the chance Midsomer Murders. Um, I love documentary shows particularly ones on the Third Reich, they're so fascinating. Yeah, if I ever get the television remote [i]off[/i] my brother. -sigh- Do you have siblings?

Why? That's a strange feeling, it's not that often it happens. Hope you're feeling better though.

Um, I just woke up so I'm alternating from grumpy (from being woken up, even if it is 12:30pm) to joyful because it's Sunday (Merlin & Doctor Who tonight! -flails-). Do you have any favourite television show?
