Party Details - as per on my invite...

Okay. So those at Terracon that got a little piece of paper invite were told to come to my LJ for more information. Here it is - the info I can't fit on my snazzy invite! Point form for ease and clarity!

Birthday Party: You Are A Pirate!

Theme: Pirates
Place: Mine
Date: 7th of July
Time: 7 O'Clock


Things you might want to know:

- I can't really drink alcohol. There is a limited list of alcohol that I can drink, and I definitely can't drink more than one kind in one night. I have a very sensitive constitution (it SUCKS). So don't offer me liquor unless you know I can deal with it, I really hate having to say no! I hate offending people, and I don't want to offend my dear, lovely friends.

- There will be Singstar. For a little while, anyway.

- There will be a sing-a-long. There is always a sing-a-long. But it's more like 'A bunch of musicians get together and have fun jamming to fun tunes' rather than 'sit around the piano and sing Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree'. If you know how to play an instrument, bring it. If not - come along and enjoy the music.

- As I said on the invite, fancy dress is not compulsory but getting in the spirit is greatly appreciated! So even if it's just an eye-patch and a pretty scarf on your head or something, or a t-shirt with a pirate theme, it's all good. Or a scar drawn on your face with eye-liner - whatever.

- Children will be here at this party. But they're very COOL children - I'm their auntie! Anyway, you can swear, just don't say "CUNT CUNT CUNT!" or anything, but you can slip a 'shit' or even 'fuck' around them, cause hell - I do. They tell ME not to swear most of the time. You lot behave much better than I do, but I thought I'd let you know that kids will be there. If you want to choof the leafy green, you're more than welcome to. It's a big property and there's lots of little dark nooks where you can enjoy your recreational drug of choice. Just make sure the kids don't follow you ;)

- It might be wet. Dress warmly. There's plenty of room inside around the heater, but usually people huddle around the stone barbecue outside and in the little covered patio. I don't know why. So be prepared for that.

- I have a cat. If you're allergic, let me know. She'll be shut away in my room for the night anyway, but her hair and dander is *everywhere* in the house cause she's an inside cat.

- There will be nibbles available for vegetarians.

- If there are any awesome pirate-themed party foods you can think of, lemme know. Bring a hunk of cheese if you like, I can't afford that much.

- Bring a hunk if you like - I could use some. Bwahahaha!

- There WILL be mulled wine. It will be really nice. It shall be our grog! My Dad makes it all himself, he's very clever.

- You may smoke, but it's probably better to do it outside. Not that I mind it inside, but there are kids and it's not a very well ventilated space. Cigarette smoke tends to make me a bit ill, and with the curtains and the wood and the brocade felt wallpaper, the smell might cling. Everyone will be outside anyway - tends to happen at parties.

Okay! I'm pretty sure that covers it. If there's anything else you want to know, just ask. Oh, and if you are coming, do let me know! Then I know who to look forward to! :D If you didn't see the friendslocked invite and you still want to come, email me at nacey (a) iinet dot net dot au and I'll send you a copy. I only friendslocked it to protect the details of where I live. Not because I don't want certain people to come along. :)

Party Post - Wishlist as requested by Tina

Okay. I hate doing this. I really, really hate doing this. Mainly because I don't want people to think that I *expect* a present when I invite them to a party. I don't. But if you feel like getting me something, hey, that's awesome. I like presents, in fact, my birthday is the other time of the year that I can make excuses to spend money on myself without feeling guilty about it. But I really like the surprise, and I like what a present says to me. It can tell me how thoughtful someone is, it can tell me what they think I'd like. I find that very fascinating. It also says a lot about *them*, so much so that when I use that gift, I think of that person. I like that. So only refer to this list if you REALLY can't think of anything to give me and ONLY if you were going to give me something anyway.

Tina (originalnilson) asked me what I wanted for my birthday. Really - I just don't know. There are so many cool things out there, most of it useless. She told me to write a list, so I'm writing one, but it's against my programming, if you will. It's not something I'm very good at doing. There are probably HEAPS of things on this list that I'd love to receive that I just haven't thought about. Anyway, on to the list. May as well get this over with!

( The list... )

Ahhh, shit. I can't think of anything else, I really can't. All the things I need in life are things that aren't really 'gift appropriate'. Long-sleeved tops, jumpers, snug slippers that won't fall apart after being used for a mere two months (THANK YOU, TARGET, YOU WHORES!). Erm, yes. And I'm getting myself a good pair of headphones for my birthday (AKG ones, they're schweeet!). For recording music.

So - yes. I hate this post. Really.

Whee! Stupid meme time.

Your Score: Pan

100% Extroversion, 0% Intuition, 100% Emotiveness, 80% Perceptiveness

You are Pan. You're an extremely creative and fun-loving individual.
You have a predisposition to acting and performing, and you enjoy it.
You're very outgoing, and you are genuinely interested in other people.
You probably have a pet parakeet, play an instrument, write poetry,
tell jokes, love parties, have lots of friends, remember people, names
and faces, paint, and have a righteous social conscious.


You're very good natured, but can be naive and exploited by
less good natured people. You're mischevious, but in a usually harmless
way. You don't have much use for structure and routine, and your
appetite for sensation and immediate gratification can cloud your
judgement regarding the future consequences of your actions. You like
to improvise more than you like to plan.


You look on the bright side of life. Even though you're highly
optimistic, you can be predisposed to bouts of angst when presented
with negative possibilities or outcomes. In combating dire
circumstances, you can become dismissive and resort to
over-simplifications of the situation. Although most people love to be
around you, the more analytical types (Atlas, The Oracle, Prometheus,
and Hermes) will take issue with what they perceive to be your lack of
foresight. The main drawback to this is that they will become rigid and
stubborn in conflict, and you will take this personally, becoming
stubborn and inflexible yourself.


Regardless, you have a capacity for connection with other
people that is unheard of in the other personality types. Your main
strenghts are your flexibility and artistic and sympathetic abilities.



Famous people like you: Franz Joseph Haydn, Dr. Suess, Bill Cosby, Sandra Bullock, Oscar Wilde

Similar Personality Types: Orpheus, Aphrodite, Dionysus

Stay clear of: Atlas, Hermes, Prometheus, The Oracle

Howard Government: Thumbs up their arses since the beginning of their run...

This makes me so very mad. So very, very mad. Howard said that up north was our "Hurricane Katrina".

You know what, short stuff? You're right. It's a clear illustration of the ham-handed gross mismanagement of this problem and the complete and utter cold disregard the Liberals have for the people up north. Kinda like what Bush had for the people in New Orleans. And you know what else? People are pissed.

I thought taking people's babies away and treating them like cattle was a thing of the past. They want to be listened to, respected! Why is it so damned hard to do that? Why?

It's like Howard is doing everything he can to make sure Liberal isn't voted in again! Except he thinks that people will approve of his actions.

I swear, I am so fucking sick to my stomach. I was feeling so bad about voting for Labour at the next election because I was scared that Kevin Rudd was a bit of a tosser. But I'd rather have a tosser than an uncaring bigot in the big chair. I am SO MAD about this, spitting mad!

* For those from America, Liberals are the right, Labour is supposed to be the left but they're kinda slightly left of middle.
