Two blogthings quiz results in one entry!

For the twelve days of Christmas, your true love will send you:

Twelve street musicians drumming
Eleven candycanes a-sticking
Ten ice skaters a-leaping
Nine ladies singing
Eight cows a-milking
Seven rumballs a-drunkening
Six kittens a-meowing
Five golden necklaces
Four calling bill collectors
Three French fries
Two starving Olsen twins
And a owl in a pine tree


If they sent me half of those things, then they aren't my true love!


Star Wars Horoscope for Aquarius

You can be cruel and torment people who disagree with you.
Deep down, there is a peace-loving, friendly side to you.
You have a knack for inflicting pain on people and use your intellect during battle.

Star wars character you are most like: Darth Vader


I'm not bothered. I think horoscopes are a load of bollocks anyway. I must say, I thought I had more in common with Princess Leia myself!

Mad things you hear from the unlikeliest people (no.1 in an occasional series)

Wandering around WHSmith in my lunch hour (not so much killing time as totally annihilating it), I overheard a snippet of a conversation between a prim middle aged lady and a younger man who may have been her son (or maybe not), near the book section. They were having a discussion about a particular individual (or individuals as it may seem) when the seemingly respectable lady quipped "I just think they're frustrated lesbians myself!", in a volume loud enough for half the shop to hear.

Who was she talking about? I don't know and I would hate to speculate. But one thing's for sure, I felt for the person she was with, however he was related to her. If he didn't feel like distancing himself from her that very minute, he's a far better person than I am.

WARNING: Medical Websites are bad for your health

Why is it that whenever you happen to wander onto one of those health websites you always end up doing one of those quizzes to find out your risk of having something? And why do you always feel ill when you read the result?

The other day I took a quiz to find out if I was at risk of having depression. I scored 15, which, according to the scale, meant that I could be mildly depressed. Reading that depressed me- not at of the thought that I could be, but of the fact that the quiz decided that I wasn't as depressed as I thought I could be. I don't consider myself to be a hypochondriac, but all these kinds of websites make even the healthiest of people believe there's something wrong with them.
