They're BOTH unrealistic, bad and involve people that can't act! I feel almost personally affronted that anyone can believe that they're accurate representations of Australian life . . . and don't even get me STARTED on the Crocodile Hunter!
Oooh that's UGLY. We're still on cake-faces, short dresses or 'jeggings' (particularly with canvas shoes and white socks pulled up), 13cm heels . . . some things never change . . . except the colours of the sequins *grimace* I saw a girl I used to go to school with a few nights back by chance and discovered she'd got a swallow tattoo on her shoulderblade!
It's pretty sad isn't it?! Who really cares that much?! I know I don't . . . only make-up I ever use is a bit of eyeliner!
Eastenders seems absolutely god-awful. Please tell me you don't watch Home and Away too!
In theory, the only time I would ever consider a tattoo would be a very small monochrome symbol of sorts somewhere discreet (I'm talking inside of the wrist or something not down there you gutterbrain!) Tattoos as fashion statements or as proof of your scenester street cred annoy the hell outta me. You've got dolphins on the back of your spine?! How touching. A butterfly on your boob? Classy. You have Chinese characters on your arm that even YOU don't know what it means? Read this and reconsider . . . grrr I could go on but I won't.
LOL Eastenders is godawful from the half episode of it I've seen!!
Don't get me started on my opinions of tattoos!!
LOL caveman! Sounds like fun!! Yeah, pictures aren't my favourite thing . . . I've been given to making a succession of stupid faces when people try and take photos. My friends despair. Yes, I do indeed . . .
Neighbours is god awful and a national embarrassment . . . then again, I do enjoy watching The Bill sometimes (pikeys with ASBOs and ringtones are hilarious)
Probably Clooney . . . or Pitt or Orlando Bloom . . . Yeah that is true though, there's always the emphasis on the female to make that effort - my guy mates certainly don't feel any (or that much) pressure to do anything.
Fashion is corporate manipulation of the mindless all-consuming all-bullshit-swallowing majority at its best/worst. My younger sister reads glossies and follows fad fashion, she recently bought one of those tutu skirts and wears it in earnest. Last night I went to a party where the dress up theme was 'exaggerated indie' and because I knew I'd get "nice costume" if I went in my normal clothes I figured I should give the 'scene kids' a norm to rebel against - cake-faced, sporting a shitton of shiny bling (my sister's), a see-through black lace tank with sparkles (my sister's) over a pink singlet, a zebra print handbag (my sister's), hair in a quiff (done by my sister) . . . the make-up was one of the most disgusting things I've ever experienced but I made the right choice coz my best mate rocked up in a perfect imitation of my favourite outfit complete with my favourite t-shirt she'd managed to con me out of the day before XD
Neighbours SUCKS! It's SO inaccurate! Absolutely shocking and god their fake country accents!! Nah, Australia's really really not like that. Normal Australian day to day life is like normal English day to day life with a shitton more sun XD Seriously though, it's not that different.
You loathe the female Hollywood image?! Trust me, you'd loathe it more if you were compared to it and made to feel inadequate if you don't measure up. I'm 5ft9 but curvy so I'm a damn sight heavier than your average Hollywood girl, yeah I have short hair, yeah I have small boobs and guess what, I even have a little cellulite. That's what's known in the vernacular as 'NORMAL'. Gah I hate it all so much. I hate fashion, I hate the objectification of women and more than anything I hate the men who encourage it. (just a bit of a feminist yeah...) Yeah, there are male equivalents - the toned, tanned, muscley, hunky guy with a cheesy smile and a six-pack. Personally, no thanks. Gimme a skinny arty boy with a twisted sense of humour and a guitar any day . . . perfect example = the Maccabees (yes all of them, one of the few bands who defy the attractiveness rule that only 50% of the band can be bangable . . . other notable exceptions include Mumford & Sons and quite possibly Everything Everything). What you need is someone who gets you, who you can carry a conversation with, who laughs at your stupid jokes and doesn't care about your character flaws - attractiveness is all good and well but it has to be secondary to personality and intelligence.
Screw Hollywood! Am I a size 8? Ha no. Do I have C cup boobs and long blonde hair? HELL no. Who gives a crap. The only people who think that matter are too shallow to hold my interest anyways.
Oh god. That's SO bad for you. I love stuff like Spaced and Monty Python! Also, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan . . .
My soccer club's strip is green with yellow trimmings and the AFL club I follow is black and red although we're not doing very well this season . . . evidently you'd agree that red and black are good colours ;)
Blue and orange?! WTF?! That's hilarious!
Ahhh toilet humour . . . almost as bad as my penchant for deadpan sarcasm and dead baby jokes! I surprise myself frequently with just how much of a bloke I am and how often I find guy humour exceedingly funny - I could list the ways that I'm more male than female but that would just be weird.
Yeah, good thing you haven't heard them butchering Beatles songs!!
WOO Queen!! I've got a younger sister who worships Glee and hearing the Glee versions of the Queen songs make me feel sick . . . easy on the weights matey or else the ladies will think you're compensating ;)
I just had a read of the timeline and that sounds so fucking cool . . . that's so original and quirky!!
About me?? I'm studying atm and my strengths are all arts/humanities stuff - history nerd, literature enthusiast, actress, classical soprano and part time poet/writer/guitarist XD Normal weird arty gal stuff . . . And yeah, as I said before I play soccer but I'm injured at the moment unfortunately - been out for 4 months and won't be back for another 6-12 months :'(
My favourite is the 2nd piano concerto - my mum did music degrees and we have an old amateur recording on cassette tape of her playing it!
