She and Liandra often make me wonder why Australia has to be so darned far away from the U.S. ...

Well funny you should say that Ms. Zille, because the two places online where I can most often be found are also frequently frequented by your bad and beautiful self.  And luckily for me, I get to see both sides of the coin.

Bless.

I guess that all depends on who caught you, and whether or not they joined in on your extracurricular activities *S*

Are you mocking me, Ilana?!

So we also have The Beach (book), garlic and Steve Buscemi in common.  I'd suggest we date, but then again, you also listed as a favourite film Uncle Buck.

I don't think things could ever work out between us.

Re: Getting To Know You

Fave band/artist:Just one? I really liked Freddy Mercury (anyone else old enough to remember Queen?)r

I absolutely LOVE Queen!  I was raised on Queen from when I was young, and still appreciate them to this very day.  They're a supergroup that has endured, and I think each new generation will be exposed to their epic rock via pop culture (last decade, Wayne's World, and this decade, Shaun Of The Dead, etc).  Don't Stop Me Now and Seven Seas Of Rye are my favourites of theirs.

(Some of my friends used to bag them, but changed their tune with a little persuasion *S*)

Yes, Queen managed to somehow pull something together that was amazing and unique.

Being that over-the-top is a very hard act to pull off, and not all of their efforts worked, but when they did, it was a glorious thing.
