Oh man! I wish I was a Blockbuster slave. They never employed me because they hate employing AWESOME PEOPLE. (That's me).
(Also, apparently they changed management and hence didn't need anyone extra).
I was a Video Ezy slave a few years back and quite liked it until they fired me for 'taking time off for a golf injury.' I later regretted telling them it was a golf injury. Should've pretended it was AIDS or something.
I wish I could drum. I'm jealous.

Twas a lovely evening, though I'm thankful I had some sort of sense (whether it was my own or Steven was projecting I'm unsure) that got me out of there before the absinthe came out..

yeah you can find the photos in the SGAU group photo section or I put a link in like page 5 or 6 of the topic about the hookup on the 6th.
ampersand has a rather good summary of his year in his journal.. i'm taking a page from that and will sum up my 2005..
I didn't see enough films or bands.. I worked my ass off.. I found out that meeting famous people is utterly useless unless you're asking them for advice or a job.. I got the best job ever but didn't realize it...

allonblack:
Have you watched the film Primer? Good stuff.
I'm assuming when you mention Crash as a favorite book you're talking about the "short" story. If so, I love that shit! Great story.
Anyways, sorry it took a bit to get back to you. But, here is my response!
"Tell me about Portland and if it would be a wise decision for a 19 year old confused young Australian man to move there? wink"
Wow that's tough. Portland is easily the most laid back city in all of the United States. It's fuled by left wing politics, alcohol, strippers, hippies, and enviromentalists. It's also where our beloves SG was started. Right down the street from my old apartment.
So, what I'll do is tell you what I love and hate about my home.
Love:
1: the size. This place barely feels like a city to me anymore. Seattle is a city. Portland is a really, really big town with enough people to qualify as a city. It totally has a small town feel. It's really common to see the same people over and over unlike bigger cities.
2: The weather. I hate snow, and wind. We get neither. Granted, it rains here 200 days a year and the winter seems to last for 8 months. If you like the sun, don't come here. If you like the heat, don't come here. This place is gray and rainy almost all year except the summer which is hot and muggy. Also, our summer is highly overrated as everyone says it rules. It doesn't. It's average at best. A lot of people in Portland drink, and are depressed. I think a LOT of it has to do with the weather.
3: The people. People here are friendly. Not much else to say. Portland is filled with nice people.
4: the public transportation. It's incredible. Easy to use, frequent, and diverse.
5: The women. I swear we have not only some of the most beautiful women on the planet here, they're also cool. A rare combo.
6: Geek friendly. Not much else to say there. I'm a geek, but I'm also into hot rods so I'm on a weird fringe of sub-cultures. I get pretty much everything I need here except for my hot rod stuff. Portlands car scene simply sucks. As far as comics, literature, cinema, I have everything I need.
What I hate
1: The weather. Sure, I said I love it up there. But, I also hate it. 3 years ago I recall it rained for 40 days straight one winter. That's 40 days of walking in rain. Everytime I entered class, I was wet. Everytime I went home, I changed clothes. Everytime I went to work, I put on fresh socks as the ones I went to work in were wet. Living here will cause you to build a love hate relationship with the weather. For the most part, it's cool with me.
2: Drugs. There are fucking drugs everywhere. We have one of the highest heroin od rates in the country if not the highest. We also have a horrible methamphetamine problem as most of America does as well. Meth crime is just fucking stupid. It's a given that if you live in Portland long enough, your car will probably be broken in to as long as you are in a few select neighborhoods.
3: The city is very white. Literally. Through gentrification, the city has basically pushed all people of color, out of the city and into the outskirts of the city. It's not a terribly diverse city considering what a haven it is for gay people. Portland has been said to be an incredibly gay friendly city but, a very racially divided city as well.
4: The drivers here are over courteous. I swear to God they are so nice, it is dangerous. You can walk out in the traffic on the busiest street in Portland, and people will stop for you. Blows my mind everytime I see it.
5: Sometimes I think this place is too small. I crave being in a place like Seattle, Boston, New York, or Chicago quite a bit. I grew up in a very small town in a very cowboy state. So, this place was an easy transition for me. But, I'd like to see a bit more, experience a bit more, etc...
6: Lack of professional sports. I'm not a huge sports fan, but, i still like to see live sports. We have a pro basketball team and that's it. We have a minor league socker team, lacrosse, baseball, and hockey team. The only one I go out of way tos ee is the hockey team.
7: Our job market is one of the worst in the country. I've lived here 5 years, and spent 2 of those years unemployed. Basically, unless you have a desired skillset, plan on making just above minimum wage and living in an apartment that is too expensive.
I'm assuming when you mention Crash as a favorite book you're talking about the "short" story. If so, I love that shit! Great story.

Okay, I had an absolutely surreal experience last night..
Imagine you wake up like that fella in 28 days later... only it is night time and there is a thick blanket of fog all around.. You can't see 15 metres in front of you, let alone people.. You can hear people, but you can't be sure anybody is actually there..

Hello all suicide girls and boys..
Black Christmas was a semi grand event.. Things looked to have died in the ass quite early on when my guardian angels sfrom up on high, Lisa and Estelle, swooped down with foul language and hilarity and saved my fucking evening..
Much love to those two.. Things proceeded to get rather wild and involved a pizza and tray it...

im using the canon S2IS cause i didnt want to go to an SLR as you cannot take them into any events.
it doesnt have wide lense with it, but it has manual focus (not a ring though, which is kind of annoying but its still effective). I like digital, its convienient.

Am more than happy to share hospital horror stories...just tell me what you are seeking
PlatyPuz is also good for stories of that nature, and prob. has seen more gore than me, if that's what you are wanting.
Are you well?
Happy Oz Day!! xx
And no, I didn't move to drink XXXX - I'm much more partial to my Wild Turkey and other assorted spirits. However, moving did make it so I could indulge earlier. Should come in handy on this fine Australia day...
