why does it never rain on me?

So, after around seven solid hours of sleep last night, I feel kinda human again. Had a driving lesson, after which Jimmy - my instructor - told me that I should be good to go for my practical, if "you are lucky and the examiner don't take you anywhere tricky".

I think that's just a more subtle way of saying that I suck.

This weather is totally insane. It's October but it feels like January. Can someone take the sun away, just for a day?

Things I learnt today:

- Milo and Hayden are apparently dating. I think I hear far-off cries of glee from fangirls and ficcers.
- The brother guy on Six Feet Under is Dexter! How come I never noticed this before? Oh, HBO shows.

Also! Those who have Facebook as well- help a friend out. We're doing an assignment, and Ruth ([livejournal.com profile] nepali_princess) has picked social networking sites as her topic. She made three surveys:
1. For LJ
2. For The Devil Facebook
3. A comparison

The first two have 20 questions, the third one 5. Not very time consuming, you just need to tick a couple of boxes. Also, these don't work in Firefox, but other browsers should be okay.

A bit of a typo on mine for the livejournal thing - it says '404'...it was meant to be '49' - which I counted as people I'd friended and people who had friended me. I couldn't go back and change it :S

...Yeah, I don't know. Hope it was helpful ♥

Well you would certainly deserve 404 friends ♥

Thanks for doing them! I'm sure your answers will be helpful to Ruth :D

I has answered! Though I hope not twice 'cause the first time I tried the LJ survey, it said that my results were not submitted due to security checks... >.>;;

I got that message too. On both the LJ and Facebook ones. >.> Maybe the surveys are racist, I dunno.

Thanks for doing them! :D

Answered (instead of working, woo! for slacking!)

Dexter is awesome

[identity profile] zenni.livejournal.com 2007-10-12 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Dexter is indeed awesome! Have you seen the pre-airs for season 2? I am so looking forward to the rest of it :D

I thank you for doing the survey on behalf of Ruth!

Am slowly making my way through season 1 right now, so I'm avoiding s2 anything like the plague (for once, I want to be spoiler free . . . we'll see how long this lasts, as I am a spoiler fiend and always end up spoiling myself ^^). I sort of got sidetracked by Friday Night Lights, which is like nothing else I watch, but strangely addictive.

My answers are in, & they do so work in Firefox. :P

[identity profile] zenni.livejournal.com 2007-10-12 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well! Maybe you're just special. 'Cause they didn't work in Firefox for me :P

Thanks for taking the time!

THANKYOU EVERY ONE!!!!

Surveys answered!

I'm amused by the fact that several questions in the first one suggest that I might "feel neural on this issue".

[identity profile] nepali-princess.livejournal.com 2007-10-14 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
why are you ammused?? becuase you don't think its an issue... just curious, trying to get some quotes for the assigmnet out of people.

[identity profile] betsybookwyrm.livejournal.com 2007-10-14 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I was assuming the question meant "neutral", not "neural". Maybe I misinterpreted.

[identity profile] nepali-princess.livejournal.com 2007-10-14 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
crap! seriously? i thought i removed all the spelling mistakes, i think things like this are going to haunt me forever.

[identity profile] betsybookwyrm.livejournal.com 2007-10-14 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no one else commented on it, and I still think it's funny.

Done and done. *is glad to help with assignments*
