  1. Have you eberwondered what it wuld be like ti start agan?

    All the time. :D

    In a way, every time we take new steps in our lives we’re starting again – but just with a bit more experience. :o

    IS life fair? is anything????????????????????????

    Life is what you make of it and there is good in all of us – it just needs to be nurtured.

    Think positive Scampy :D:D

  2. Although a Sydneysider I have never jumped on the Swans bandwagon largely thanks to memories of Geoffrey Edelstein and Capper, who both still give me the creeps.

    What's creepy about pink cars?:o

    Believe Capper had a career change, he had a brief stint (thanks to his old lady) at holding road signs – but was too incompetent. :D

    Ooopppps!!!! How did that Hawks '89 Premership poster get in there?

    An amazing game, 3 players injured in the first few seconds. Dermie bounced back, even though he pissed blood, and Dipper played with a broken rib and punctured lung. Ah, the good ole days when footballers were men. :D

  3. Pretty much anything by Leonard Cohen.... especially the track that was featured in Natural Born Killers... Waiting for the miracle or something

    totster  :D

    If you want to continue in a reflective mood, then its pretty hard to beat Leonard Cohen's version of "Everybody Knows"

    Cohen is the wrist-slashing genius ... he is the master of depression.

    Personally, The The (Matt Johnson) always gets me. :D

    to pick me up if i'm down. Firestarter- The Prodigy

    That and Breathe always gets me hyped up – once made the mistake of listening to it before a yoga class, found it hard to relax. :o

  4. I can't remember what I dreamed about last night but the night before I had a very vivid dream that I was naked and going down Rama 4 road on a Segway, holding up a long line of angry traffic behind me and getting sunburn.

    What the <deleted> does that mean?

    Unless you felt embarrassed while being naked, then there is nothing unusual about your dream, according to Freud. Dreaming you’re naked in public is one of the most common dreams to have, along with falling or being chased. If you were comfortable with your nakedness, then Freud would associate this to ones freedom during childhood and being open. I’m not an advocate of dream analyses, but your dream is completely normal within its realms. Sweet dreams, sweety :o

  5. All I'm reading on this thread (except for cdnvic) is that you barracked for one team and then moved onto another team.

    This usually comes from people who don't really follow AFL that much.

    Oiy! I was raised (unfortunately) with VFL. My main team is Essendon (Herd and I would get lattes together), but due to spending most of my childhood in Hawthorn, I can not help feeling some allegiance to them. I would like to disassociate myself from the game but find it impossible! Besides it's now in my blood!

  6. Hey sweety, I’d be there in a jiffy if I could release myself from these shackles – love studying so have to pay the price (of being a nerd). :D:D

    However, if I were you on the following days in Bangkok I would: go to the Irish X on Monday to watch Lee Shamrock :o; then on Tuesday go to the Dubliner; take a rest on Wednesday; then back to the Irish X on Thursday; and, then the Dubliner on Friday. Following this pattern you are guaranteed to meet the fellow expat farang chicks of this forum (this schedule was devised by me and fellow chickets of this forum). :D

  7. The Killers (quite heavy stuff)

    Love the lyrics to “Somebody told me”. :D

    Killing Heidi (Haven't heard them in a couple years tough)

    Killing Heidi are still alive and well. They released a new album late last year and performed at the tsunami benefit concert – believe they’ve got a few more concerts planned.

    I’d have to say one of the best rock bands of late would have to be Melbourne band Jet…love ‘em. :o

  8. While doing research, thought I’d look up the amount of articles that sited “avatar”. Unfortunately on the psych databases there were less than thirty articles that sited this term (and others in this area) and none had anything to do with personality. Off the tip of my head I can think of two reasons for this:

    (1) Firstly , the procedures involved, ethics approval, representative sample, collation etc, would all be too burdensome and complicated to consider, especially where funding was an issue. Basically it would just be too hard for any researcher to conduct and for a reliable and valid study to be conducted in this area.

    (2) Another reason is that it’s possible to apply existing personality theories to the new arenas (cyberspace). For example, Jung used the terms “persona” and “mask” to refer to the “public self” we present in the (virtual) world, ie avatar. We can use psychotherapy to analyse the members, but that would just take away all the fun.

    Don't think there's any need to make the members "think" about the images they chose to represent them - it just complicates things :o

  9. A bit of Kiwi bashing (to boost the ego). :o

    An Australian was walking down a country road in New Zealand, when he happened to glance over the fence and see a farmer goin' at it with a sheep.

    The Aussie is quite taken aback by this, so he climbs the fence and walks over to the farmer.

    He taps him on the shoulder and says, "You know mate, back home, we shear those!"

    The New Zealander looks frantically around and says, "I'm not bloody SHEARING this with no one!"

  10. I read this on a girly magazine:

    What is the biggest mistake a woman can make on the phone?

    5 men confess:

    1. Ringing 5 times a day to 'just to say hi' and ask what I'm doing. I'm working!

    2. Going out with the girls then drinking and dialling. You don't sound as cute as you think you do.

    3. Don't call me then put me on hold with call waiting. It makes me feel less important than whoever's on the other line.

    4. We can tell when you're multitasking while talking to us. Call back when you can give us your undivided attention.

    5. Guys are as comfortable on the phone as women. We use it to exchange information, so don't blame us for awkward silences in conversations you insist on prolonging and please don't ask what we're thinking.

    Girls, have u ever done any of the above?

    Kill me if I ever do this! :D

    I'm not much for phone convos (am more of a face to face person), but the ex was a phone peson (should've known then it wouldn't last :o ). Give your partner space, unconsciously they'll love you for it and you'll love them in return for it;) :D

  11. I got one!  Second page and I got a reply from a woman, and what a woman at that!

    :D :D

    Because 9 times out of 10, a woman is almost guranteed an invite back for some coffee by the man but it will be less likely the other way round because the woman won't want to seem easy because if a girl seems easy then she's labelled a slag back in the West which they think is unfair as men are patted on the back.

    I don’t care if I’m labelled a slag or “slut” anymore - I did when I was younger (until I realised that people, if they wanted, would label you a tart even when you weren’t :D). Anyway, back to the invite thing, for me it’s not an issue of looking easy, it’s more a privacy thing. This might sound bizarre :D, but my home is my sanctuary and if I don’t know a guy well enough I don’t want him in my private domain. Also, just in case he turns out to be a bit loopy it’s easier to make excuses to get away from him at his place, rather than trying to get rid of him at mine (this is purely my opinion). :D

    Like you said Scampy, 9 times out of 10 there is a guaranteed invite and sure one does receive coffee and a sleepless night, but what else? Those seeking a serious relationship might be sorely disappointed :D:D. I do believe the “getting to know you” (and not in the physical way) is important to anything substantial. However, the only problem with this is the problem outlined at the beginning of this thread. A women may become self-conscious and leave it to the last minute. Many of us (both men and women) have to overcome our insecurities (or what ever one wants to call them) and go after the things we want (that’s so Hollywood, but inspiring none the less). :D:o:D

  12. If you are only looking for sex (not serious relationship), either with locals or foreigners, that shouldn't be a problem.

    Very true Honey :o.

    It's easy to pull a guy, just depends what you want out of it. Anyway, regardless you don't have to worry about being celibate and don't believe the rumours. :D

  13. For goodness sake girls, if you fancy a guy, why don't you just tell him - or at least make it more obvious so you don't spend most of your time flirting and wondering and then leave it until the day before he goes home to get drunk enough to tell him how you feel!

    This is your only flaw my sweethearts and it's caused me a lot of unnescessary hassle and wasted oppertunity.  :o  :D  :D

    I’ve been guilty of this when I was younger – all it resulted in was a night of no sleep. :D

    Scampy, it’s not always easy to tell someone you like them. Fear is an amazing thing, especially fear of rejection, which most of us have probably experienced (regardless of gender) :D. When it comes to sending the “right signals” keep in mind people have different perceptions on the same events. Some of us don’t want to be presumptuous and then end up looking like idiots. However, in the process we may be running the risk of passing up the best thing that could happen to us. :D

  14. Hi Nat, as a matter of fact, I did not see a general doctor. They (yes I've seen a few, hopping from one to another) are psychologists. But still all they could do for me is put me on all these antidepressants (prozac and seroxat).

    That’s interesting, as psychologists are not allowed to prescribe antidepressants or any other medication for that matter :o. Anyway give the religious thing a shot and hope it all works. God bless. :D
