What's your sign?  What do you think of astrology and horoscopes?

Taurus! And I think all that stuff, while sometimes amusing, is an absolute load of crock! :P

What was your very first job? 
Submitted by Laurel.

Unpaid? Working in the NSW Nature Conservation Council, doing mainly officey stuff.

Paid? Working at Taronga Zoo, selling ice cream and drinks. :P

Let's make a list.  What are 20 things in your life that you're grateful for? 
Inspired by wyndslash.vox.com.

In no particular order:

1. My parents
2. An inhabitable environment (air, oxygen, food, water etc)
3. Living in a comfortable environment where I get access to decent education, welfare and luxuries
4. Living in the 21st century
5. My boyfriend
6. Inquisitiveness
7. Technology
8. Plumbing
9. Coffee and tea
10. The internet
11. The good tutors and teachers I've had
12. Friends who proved to be there when I needed them to be
13. Vaccines
14. Refrigerators
15. The legal system (to an extent...)
16. Scientists
17. My grandparents
18. My brother
19. Music
20. Being healthy

If you could get someone in your life to start a blog, who would it be and why?

My mother. If it was somehow written in English that is, I can't read Chinese. *shame* However, I bet it'll be so very interesting cos she knows so much folktalesy stuff and have so many stories about her past (most of which I know already). Besides, she always wanted to be a writer and so I'm sure it'll be interesting and poetic and what-not.

I would say my grandma too if it wasn't for the fact that her memories failing her a bit now... I'd love to hear about how her childhood/young adult life was like.

What's one thing that you hope to do or accomplish before the end of this year?

Get better Uni marks.

Note: Would any of you guys be too annoyed if I used this blog to primarily fill out these QotD until I figure out a better use for them? I might not do them daily, just when I can. Memed! :P

>_> This is EXACTLY the feeling I got when I first started LJ, possibly more pronounced this time because really, who NEEDS 3 active journals to write in? I thought there'd be more features to tweak but at least the layout is cute. :P

Hrm. So either I *don't* write in here and just lurk through my friends "neighbours" pages or actually do something with it. I might make it a book/movie/otherstuff review log. Not in depth reviews (that might be more appropriate for this) but just little snippets and thoughts.

Either that or make it about insanely context-specific private aspects of my real-life life.

I'm thinking moreso the former.
