Post a random fact about yourself...

I say sh*t I don't mean out of rage all the time. Always have, probably will continue to do so until I'm old and no longer have the energy.

I cried when Steve Irwin died. It still makes me sad to think about it.

I love being barefoot most of the time. I really don't know why, I've always been like that.

When I used to live in the city, I loved the feeling of the warm sidewalk beneath my feet in the summer, and the warm sand when I went to the beach. Actually, I'm still like that.

I love being barefoot, too, but there's no way I'll walk through Sydney without footwear. Broken glass, gum, and various bodily fluids await the soles of my feet. D:

His death was quite sudden and unusual, and it did cause a massive ripple in Australia. There were lots of outpouring of emotions and condolences from everyone.

I never liked the way he conducted himself ("crikey!"), but I did find out he did lots of work for charity and he loved all animals, so for that reason I can respect the man.

I sometimes enjoy being pissed off. Like I'll watch Kevin Trudeau (biggest douche in the universe, in my opinion) tell cancer sufferers to substitute their chemotherapy for coral calcium just so I can yell to the TV what a self-centered amoral idiot he is.

You like being pissed off? Then have I got the person for you! Go on YouTube and look up Tom Leykis; you'll have a field day with him! Although you may not like me for making you aware of him after you're done tearing a hole into him.

He seems to be a bit of a f***ing goof and a real a-hole, but at least he isn't advising people to give up on rather effective treatments to buy salt water that he claims will cure all their woes. Kevin Trudeau creates false hope in desperate people and almost certainly has resulted in the premature deaths of many people. And my medical background makes me go berzerk when I hear him knock conventional medicine.

Hm, your medical history? How much do you have under your belt? And yes, he is seriously f***ed up in the head. Well, one thing we can do to beat him is to educate people, to show as well as tell people about the capabilities of modern medicine.

^ Yuck, that's no fun. I live in a rural area, so being barefoot outside here is safe. Even when I lived in the city, my neighborhood was quite clean, didn't have to worry about stepping on broken glass or gum or various bodily fluids. Actually the only thing I had to worry about was stubbing my toe on the curb (which I did quite often) or stepping in pigeon or seagull poo (which I also did once or twice). 😛

Hey, that's very cool! You must have very resilient soles of the feet, yeah? Haha.

I live in the suburbs, too, but there's still no way I'd do that. Broken glass can still await. Or, if I was dreadfully unlucky, I could even step on used syringes in the park. :🙁:

I have awesome taste in music

A degree in medical science and a half-completed one in pharmacy.

Indeed. Unfortunately there will always be snake oil salesmen and people who want to believe that something as simple and as seemingly harmless as snake oil can cure all their woes.

These days it's emu oil. 🙄

Now, now lady. No more perpetuating quack medicine.

Hey, me too! 😀

^ How often do you see kangaroos?

Honestly? Never.

To see them I'd have to take a drive out into the country, where they're free and can do their own thing. Driving on long stretches of highway between towns are maybe the best chance of seeing one (although mostly you see them as roadkill).

But if you're in towns or suburbs, and especially in cities like Sydney, you won't see them.

You have to be careful, though. They are aggressive animals and if they kick you it could knock the wind out of you, break some ribs, or kill you if they continue to attack. It's unlikely that you will die but if you provoke them enough they will retaliate and you're always going to be the loser of that fight (if you have no weapons).

Nice One Mikey! Nice to know Im not alone on this one! 😉 😀

So kangaroos are a lot like bears and deer to us.

And what is it like having Christmas in summer? When you watch American Christmas movies is it like WTF?

Haha certainly. I'm sure everyone has the exact same "random" fact. 😉

Yeah, I guess they are.

We're just used to having the seasons at opposite times of the year here. Christmas in summer is just something we're used to. I think it's good that way because Australians like to have BBQ's and be outdoors and Christmas is a good excuse to be out in the hot sun than inside when it's raining and windy.

When we watch American TV we're aware that it snows around Christmas, haha. We're used to seeing that and it's not weird at all. 🙂

Awesome. Thanks for answering all my Australia-related questions.
