Okay, I don't know what the hell is wrong with my ears (or possibly my brain), but I keep hearing this weird background noise that sounds like I left my iPod on or something--you know how sometimes you'll not switch a walkman or something off and it keeps playing, the way the music turns into this weird tinny sound you don't notice at first? Yeah, like that. WTF auditory hallucinations?

(Augh, co-workers talking about weddings! Two of them are getting married in the next few months, and dammit, people, you're younger than I am, you're not ready to get married, stop thaaaat!)

One more interview meme, from knightette:

1. If you could create a job for yourself in any company with any description, what would that dream job be?

Ooooh, okay, I'm going to keep this in the realm of the vaguely realistic, so. Telecommuting job, writing articles or whatever for a website, plus website maintenance type stuff. It's something I know I'd be good at, I'd love to be able to work from home, and just. Yeah.

2. Do you reckon that we could make a small fortune by making glittery boobies collectibles sold to f_w'ers? I do. What do you think the marketing slogan for that should be?

Yes, but I'm not entirely sure how I'd feel about my boobies being on t-shirts. :D (Anything else, fine. T-shirts? ... Nyeh?) I'm really bad with slogans, but. "You Too Can Have Official Cabal Boobies!"

3. If you had to be put in a room feeding strawberries to a celebrity for one day, who would you want it to be?

One? One? You ask me this question when I'm PMSing and you want me to pick just the one? Bah, I say! Um. *ponders deeply* I'd have to go with Gina Torres at the moment. But only if she wears a thigh holster. Guh.

4. What song reminds you of being 16 years old?

R. Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly. The summer I was sixteen (1997) was the first summer I worked at the butcher's shop, and they constantly had this stupid pop radio station on, which played that song at least once every hour, all day long. I think I developed a nervous twitch by the end of that month. Oddly enough, they did the same with MMMBop, but that bothered me less. Possibly because that's actually a decent song.

5. What do you miss the most about your home country, if anything?

Well, there's the obvious food stuff, and the cheap tobacco, obviously, though I tend to feel that those are sort of offset by the fact that supermarkets are open late over here, not to mention the utter brilliance of 24hr supermarkets. I miss Antwerp, though--nothing specific, just the city in and of itself. Also, the lack of gale-force winds, because I was nearly blown over while waiting for the bus this morning, again.

Have you been listening to your iPod really loud? Cause it might be Tinnitus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus *

I get this if I've been listening to my mp3 player ultra loud!

You think your married co-workers is bad? I work with someone who was born the year I went to primary school and he's married with a kid! *gets THE FEAR*

Too young! Too young!

Hope your ear thingy clears up soon

*I am not nor have I ever been a doctor :)

I don't think it's that, actually, because it went away when I left the area. I think it's either some computer equipment buzzing about that I normally just tune out, or my ears being buzzy because of the infections.

But thanks!

Augh! WRONG! And you're three years younger than I, as well, imagine how I feel!

I have ex-classmates who are married with several kids already. Hell, when my parents were my age, they had us two oldest kids aready. WRONG! Gah. And don't get me started on my cousins--I'm "next in line" to get married and start popping out sproglets. They'll be waiting a whil, methinks ...

Pfft...told you I wasn't a doctor ;)

I know what you mean about being "next in line". As of the end of this year I will be the only person over 16 who is single in my family.

Funny, I had the same problem last year, so the prof and I (along with a couple of like-minded friends) decided to Not Get Married. Which means a party with friends and family, without any of that pesky choosing a dress/cake/maid of honour business, let alone the yawnsome ceremony (or the foolishness of claiming you know how you're going to feel for the rest of your life).

Yeah, if I ever get married/civil unioned, I'm just throwing a big party for my friends, none of that foofy dress nonsense or anything.
