So, yesterday there was a comment about the Peanut Gallery being cliquey and closed off to new people, while there was a non-PG comment about us being intimidating. I can assure you all that it’s not true. Everyone here is absolutely lovely (except me, in fact, but I am working on it). And most of them were new at one time. So, if you’re new, if you lurk, if you just pop in occasionally, you’re always welcome.
In a bid to meet the neighbours, today we’re having a questionnaire and we would love it if every visitor ever told us a little about themselves. Copy, paste, fill in! Feel free to skip any questions you don’t like or that don’t apply to you. I know some of this has been asked and answered before on other threads, but this will help bring it together.
There will always be a normal PG thread, so you can post your comments / replies on other people’s posts here or in whichever is the most current PG. Enjoy!

The Desert Island Discs Question
[Desert Island Discs is a BBC Radio 4 show that has been running since 1942. Quite simply, guests pick eight songs / pieces of music, one book and one luxury item that they would take with them to a desert island. As a head start, this island already contains The Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare.
Eventually, they have to select just one of the eight tracks that they really could not love live without. For info, here are the choices of Victoria Wood, George Clooney and the awesome Patrick Stewart]
15. Name your eight songs / pieces of music, one book and one luxury item [CANNOT BE TECHNOLOGY – there’s no electricity on desert islands and ‘unlimited battery power’ is a SECOND item].

The Desert Island Discs Question
[Desert Island Discs is a BBC Radio 4 show that has been running since 1942. Quite simply, guests pick eight songs / pieces of music, one book and one luxury item that they would take with them to a desert island. As a head start, this island already contains The Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare. Eventually, they have to select just one of the eight tracks that they really could not love without. For info, here are the choices of Victoria Wood, George Clooney and the awesome Patrick Stewart]
15. So, name your eight songs / pieces of music, one book and one luxury item.
Eight songs…wow. Well, Angels Would Fall by Melissa Etheridge is my current favorite
Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain
Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks
More than a Memory by Garth Brooks
40 oz to Freedom by Sublime
Red Red Wine by UB40
Wasted by the Donnas
Hard Knock Life (or the Sign song Mr. Warbucks and Miss Hannigan sing together.)
the luxury item is a notebook. I figure I can make ink from berries or something and there’s gotta be something to use as a pen. I cannot just pick one book, but the first that comes to mind makes me cry everytime I’ve read it. Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card. I couldn’t read his sci-fi or fantasy or whatever the main genre is but I loved this. So so sad but so good. I’ve had it since I was maybe 12-13 and I’ve read it at least once a year since.

I’ve always been a shy kid and as such I’ve steered clear of the PG full of cool kids. It’s too much for me. Besides a comment reply from Clom, the only person I’ve had the slightest convo with on this site was Payne. I guess the best way to change that would be to brave the PG. Easier said than done. But I do like those “Tell me about…” topics posted on some chapters, even though some of them don’t apply to me. And I like this questionnaire too!

Music: This is the question that caused my initial delay in answering this questionnaire. I’m a big music fan as you can probably tell from my field of study.

Whitney Houston
Aaliyah
Mariah Carey
P!nk
Missy Elliott
Janet Jackson
Michael Jackson

No, I’m not back to complete the desert island q.
Just wanted to share a tid bit to the following…
That bloke who did the shooting, was in most of my econometrics lectures and a couple of my tutorials in 1st semester of that year. He was real quiet and totally unassuming, didn’t say ‘boo’ to anyone, used to reek of the smell of cigarettes – I always made a mate of mine sit next to him (I’m nice like that) because the smell always made me want to gag and the only seats available were the ones next to this guy because we were always running late on the odd occasions I’d bother to turn up to my tutorials.
As for the day of the shooting itself, I was meant to have a tutorial either on that floor or the one above or below – who cares, now – but I declared it a day of R&R for myself and stayed home in bed. Good thing in hind sight considering there was a dude on the loose with a gun in the Menzies… It shocked the shit out of me and everybody else!!!
Moving on to more pleaseant thoughts… Monash rocked in general! To be more specific, Monash Clayton rocked… rocked on a grand scale and then some!!!
I’d like to take this very moment to publicly acknowledge and thank all those at Monash Clayton for keeping me amused and entertained and… and… and for providing me with nicely cut lawns to lounge about on as I pondered upon my brilliant existence – so “Thank you Monash Clayton”!!! :-)
Thanks. One can never have too much adoration in one’s life as I’ve come to conclude. :-)
What in the name of God and all that is holy is/are “econometrics”?
Hmmm
are you aware that we were at Monash at the same time. Did you ever attend the Queer room and or/ functions…
:-) No need to involve any higher beings…
“Econometrics” – the study of mathematics, specifically statistics, for the purpose of modelling and analysing various factors that impact the economy.
Ok – that was riveting!… And that concludes the lesson for today!!! ;-)
Yes – I was vaguely aware and nope – the handful of functions I managed to attended during Uni days were faculty related, both mine and others.
Phew… otherwise you might have known me. I might have been the Queer Officer…
Ok, since I swore to stop lurking I guess starting from here is the best thing to do…

As a head start, this island already contains The Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare.
Eventually, they have to select just one of the eight tracks that they really could not love live without. For info, here are the choices of Victoria Wood, George Clooney and the awesome Patrick Stewart]
15. Name your eight songs / pieces of music, one book and one luxury item [CANNOT BE TECHNOLOGY – there’s no electricity on desert islands and ‘unlimited battery power’ is a SECOND item].
Songs-
Thats not my name by the ting tings

Brown eyed girl by Van morrison
Careless Whisper by Seether
I’m at war by sean kingston and lil wayne

**sighs happily**
Also the comment above Treble’s is so hilarious that I just left it there…
[Good for you. It was spam so I removed it – Dev]
Well, of course you have to sing! Scientists have discovered it’s impossible to see the words “Under Your Spell” and not break out in song. Or so I heard, anyway! *laugh*
Can I just start this by saying Buffy was one of the greatest shows ever, and Joss has near God status in my books? Joss is the only reason I have any appreciation for cinematography.
Ok, having said that, I figured I’d been lurking around long enough (6-8 months) and commented on just enough things that I supposed I should introduce myself.
1) Name: Amanda.

13) Bet: Other than drunken “I bet you cant…” things, no.

3) Connect The Dots- Spill Canvas
4) Wonderland- Angie Aparo

Waki
2. Any other aliases we might know you by?
There are many which can be irrelevant right now.
3. A/S/L?

Let’s just say I’m used to the tropics. I tolerate rainy days and I bathe three times a day due to the heat.
5. Who do you live with?
I live at the dorms during weekdays, so…my bubbly roommate. During weekends or when I’m hungry I go home. There I live with my parents and brother. Also there’s a funny household helper. And of course, our 5 dogs.
6. What sector do you work in?

12. Last single / album you bought in an actual shop (not online)?
Omg. I cannot remember.
13. Have you ever laid a bet? If so, on which sport(s)?
I place bets with my father all the time in boxing. But it was all in the jest… Though I realized I could have won all those time if only I took it seriously… Well, I did last time and I won. Not that I intend to repeat it again. It’s a strange feeling winning a bet against your father.
14. Last time you were in hospital?
My brother was in the hospital…tough times. He got a grave disease but his vitals was stable though because prior to it we had a traumatic experience… Well anyway, to say the least he got better.
15. So, name your eight songs / pieces of music, one book and one luxury item.
Book: Can I request for a library? No? Okay. Then I’d have to choose the Bible. I never got the chance to read it thoroughly so why not use the time in the island…Mmm…
Luxury: A comfy bed with at least 4 big pillows please. And oh, a sturdy shade while you’re at it :D
Music: I easily get tired of listening to music. Yes, I tend to have LSS but after a week or so I’ll delete the song from my list…and what if I get stuck to the island for mos or years? (Yeah, negativistic thinking…check) So I’ll stick to this lullaby my grandmother used to sing to me. It never fails to feel me safe and sleepy :D
Err…I was not clear with the working/studying part. I’m actually a nurse but I did not practice my profession after earning my degree and license. I traveled and got bum for a year before deciding to enter med school which I am trying to focus right now(*Keyword: focus).
I lack sleep as of the moment and I tend to skim thru things hence I failed to read that you get the Bible as a head start, my bad. If I can’t have a library, can I have a journal instead? I can get crazy when I cannot write my thoughts.
And yes, I’d trade the comforts of zzz in exchange for water. Lots of it. I may be a fish for all I know.
