deathpixieHaven't done one of these for a while, so I thought I'd do two.

1. What was the first band you saw in concert?
Clannad. With BRM, the first year we were going out. It was at the Melbourne Concert Hall and pretty cool
2. Who is your favorite artist/band now?
I have a stable of them. *grins* But if I had to name the top three, it would be The Whitlams, Neil Finn and Moby.
3. What's your favorite song?
Ack, another tricky one. Um, I would have to say "Torch The Moon" by the Whitlams.
4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
One of these days when I have time and money, I'd like to learn piano. I used to pick out tunes on the piano in the games room of the Sergent's Mess in Mornington.
5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?
Hmm, David Bridie from My Friend the Chocolate Cake. If only so I can ask him what some of his lyrics mean.

1.) Three little quirks you have that not everybody knows.
1) I talk to myself, especially whilst pottering around the house and in the supermarket.
2) I like to iron.
3) I hate getting stuck behind people when I'm walking.
2.) Three things people SHOULD know about you if they want to get along with you better.
1. I am a vegetarian because I can't digest meat. Don't think it's because I don't appreciate the yumminess that is meat and try to slip me some unless you want to spend the next three hours talking to me through the bathroom door. And just because I'm vegetarian doesn't mean I think anyone else should be, so please don't go to lengths explaining why you couldn't. It's not an ethical/moral choice, it's pruely health-related.
2. I enjoy a good argument. Please don't take it personally if I debate politics with you. It generally means I like you, not that I'm angry with you.
3. I'm a looney leftie greenie type. About half a step away from being a Socialist, only I don't like political labels. Please take note when discussing controversial topics - you may not like what I say. And I'm always happy to listen to another person's view, and sometimes do change my mind, but the day I agree with conservatism is the day they put me in a box.
3.) Three pieces of obscure trivia (general trivia, NOT about you).
1. Voting in Australia is compulsory because when they first started having elections, the population was so small they had to have everyone voting to have a realistic result.
2. Koalas are not bears - they are marsupials, in that they have a pouch in which to raise their young.
3. The official term of address to a magistrate is "Your Worship", whilst a judge is "Your Honour." "Your Majesty" is amusing but incorrect.
4.) One odd thing currently in your purse, wallet, or pocket.
A list of wheel parts (spokes, hubs and rims from various companies) and their prices.
And that's your lot for... well, for now. I have to go shower and eat, considering it's been more than twevle hours since I last did.
The beer festival was a lot of fun, BTW. More later, when my brain is working again.

This is going to amuse me for a good long while.
