MISCELLANY:

If you were stranded on a tropical island, what three things would you want with you?

1) at least one soul mate
2) my record collection
3) the knowledge of the Professor from Gilligan's Island, so that I could generate electricity to run my stereo simply by lashing together two bits of coconut shell and some palm fronds.

Thin Elvis or Fat Elvis: Fat Elvis.

What is your greatest desire right now: to not be working fulltime.

What pisses you off the most: people.

What has the exact opposite effect: good music, intelligent friendship, well executed writing.

Anything else you want to say that you don't feel is covered above: my favourite acg .sig quote of late was stranger's "one billion pints of beer one typical melbourne net.goth thing" - just thought that deserved a mention somewhere.
