I also went out and played lawn bowls with nick and a bunch of peeps from UNSW and met his new girl. She's as sweet as a button full of sweetness. AND she plays pool, so needless to say she got the thumbs up from me - which is what I think nick was fishing for. Sometimes it's like I'm his older brother.
what's weird: I have started reading 'Brave New World' at the suggestion of a friend, and for those of you, like me who have not read it before, it starts off with a guided tour of a futuristic genetics plant where fertilised embrios are cultivated and engineered into various stratas of the future generation. Just then, on the radio, comes the news that scientists have isolated the 'intelligence' gene, which was kinda freaky. I really hope we don't end up building kids from genetic material like so much lego.
what sucks: filling my little car with petrol and it costing 60 bucks. fucking petrol. and THEN, getting caught signing 'Sirius Black' on the dotted line. The teenage dude holding my card thought it was pretty funny and I signed again. whew. first time that's happened in a while. Nice to see that some people still check signatures.... and have a sense of humour. : )
- Mood:
happy and kinda tired

Ich kann sie Deutsch verstehen und schlicht frage machen.
Cycling is good. I'd go for it too except the roads to work are not cyclist friendly.
Wasser?
Ja, wasser?
Ummm.
Water.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, water. Certainly sir.
Except that particular incident was in a chinese restaraunt, so i'm not sure if it counts.
"Ein Politze"
I haven’t played in a long while- there was some... unpleasantness and I can never ever go back. I had planned to attend on the weekend using my pseudonym 'Freezbie Lovewand' but I ended up working instead. Still, I trust fun was had by many if not all.

a shame you had to work dude, but I'll see you soon. tomorrow even! thought of any suitable team names, Mr. Lovewand?
Also.. sirius black. nice. have u finished the new harry?? liam's the only other person i know who has.. and i figure there's a grace period of a coupla weeks before i can start waxing lyric about it without getting lynched.
Also.. that reminds me of a sorta funny thing that happened a few weeks back at work. guy sebastian came in and paid with a credit card. the girl asked him to sign the slip (as you do): he wrote "aim for the stars. guy xxx".
And when the error was pointed out his friends paid the SHIT out of him hahahaha

Classic traits of sociopaths include:
Lack of empathy for others
Often extremely manipulative, coercive and charismatic
Compulsive lying
A tendency to manipulate others to serve self-interest, and furthermore manipulating situations purely for the sake of it.
The list goes on.. but these traits, when they are combined to make a person/institution pathological (i.e. cannot function in a "normal" or non-harmful way within society), basically give you a rough definition of a sociopath.
Man, now i REALLY want to re-read the book..
Have you read Othello? Iago is my favourite literary sociopath.
