heart ... Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight ...
^ Ironically ((or some other word that my mind refuses to conjure at this time)), fire. I confess to being a pyromaniac ((not an arsonist, I'm not that mental)). Although I do like all the elements, I suppose I'm just that little bit fonder of fire.
> No, it wasn't terribly bad today; we've been having a string of cooler days lately, down in the teens and 20s, so getting back to the 30s was a bit of a shock to the system.
We do have an air-con; it just works in the lounge room and the kitchen, and a little tiny bit in my folk's room, but none at all in mine.
Thankfully though, my car went into the shop today after many weeks of waiting for air-con parts to come from interstate ((first order got lost in shipment so had to make another one)), and now after ALL THESE YEARS' my little car as air conditioning.
And Autumn starts next month. *thud*
v What's your favourite element?
... So are the memories of love that we knew ... heart

^ You know, I used to camp a lot. I used to be in Boy Scouts before I quit when I was 13 or 14 because 90% of the people were d***s. My Mom was actually the camping enthusiast of my family. My Dad and sis hated it. I think the reason Dad really didn't like it was because He had irritable bowel syndrome... and restrooms while camping, if they exist at all, suck. Me, I used to not mind insect at all. I wouldn't care if one was crawling on me one bit... and now, for some reason, I don't want them touching me... at all. I used to pick up random insects I'd never seen before and let them crawl on me... centipede (stupid, yes...) some spiders (wolf spiders, mostly... they are furry, and can't hurt you... well, I guess they could, but they will almost never bite you, mostly run away... but even if they did bite you, all it would do is itch), you know... beetles... anything... but not ants... because they are evil. or bees... I friggin' hate bees and wasps. But yeah, most crawling insects... Although... I guess it's still that way, as long as I know they are on me. If all of a sudden something's crawling on me, it freaks me out. ... I don't know what I was talking about... Right, camping. We don't go camping much anymore... Personally, I think I need to start camping again, and slowly work it out so I don't need a tent anymore, just a bedroll, sleeping bag and fire, then ween off the pillow, bedroll, and eventually the fire... because... ... we all know where this is going... Camping is a valuable skill... and bedrolls and pillows are too bulky, and fires draw too much attention with smoke and the smell of burning. So yeah... I need to start camping again.
> We don't have a Daewoo company here... or at least a one that makes cars... I have a Daewoo TV, but that's the only Daewoo brand thing I've ever even seen. Why the heck do car companies make TV's? I've seen Mitsubishi TVs too...
v Do you camp in Australia? I would think it's much more dangerous to camp out there than it is around here... even if you compare an Aussie campground to just camping in the middle of nowhere in the USA. I mean... all we have to worry about are bears and rattlesnakes... not much else, and both of those will generally leave you alone as long as you don't provoke them somehow. Wolves leave people alone... so do the wild cats like cougars and bobcats... Raccoons are just a nuisance--But you guys have all the super-sinister snakes and perilously poisonous psycho spiders, crazy killer ants with monstrous mandibles, wild dogs, deadly dingos (your neck of the woods?), and all kinds of crap. (WOO! ALLITERATION POWER!!! I count two triples, and 5 doubles, quite a feat for a single sentence!)

^ No, I've never camped in Australia. Not to say that I wouldn't love to. I have however; gone camping in Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Nebraska, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Wyoming, and lastly; Colorado.
> I now have my C-Pap machine to help me sleep at night. It is kind of cool. It makes this Darth Vader type sound. I sometimes imagine light sabers made from the colors of the rainbow swishing around in the Midnight air as I'm dozing off to sleep.
I still don't sleep much; mainly cuz of my shoulder and arm problem right now. I start physical therapy on Monday and will find out the results of my ex-rays by Friday.
v If you could be a Super Hero, what would be your Super Hero name what kind of special abilities would you have and what color would your suit be?

^ Zaxus, with the power to control paper. More useful than you might think... You can mow down an entire army with just 5 phone books... sheets of paper could be used like friggin' buzz-saws or turned into points to pierce through armor. He'd also have the ability to harden paper, making it as strong as obsidian. Plus, you could make kickass paper planes, and have like, 5 f-14's, and two f-22's dogfight with a bunch of migs while trying to protect 3 C-130's. How f***tastically awesome would that be to see in a classroom... a giant paper airplane dogfight with planes shooting paper missles and spitwads at each-other... My suit would probably be black, spiky armor... and made out of black, many layered hardened construction paper, making it as strong as steel, but light as paper.
> Oh, jeeze... you've just made me create several joke superheroes that I just have to say... Captain Unoriginal, with the power to steal other characters' super-powers! Lechery Man, with the powers of Unsolicited Advance and Registered Sex Offender! Old Chinese Guy, with the powers of Unsurpassed Salesman and Ancient Chinese Secrets! (also Ancient Chinese Arts... like Kung Fu) Jake Jacobson, with the Power of Attorney! Team Killer, with the powers of F***tardedness and "I thought you were the enemy!" ROFLCOPTER Pilot, with the powers of "Boom, Headshot!" and "OMGWTFBBQLOLZORS! ROFLCOPTER! HAX U F4G!""
And Heman, with THE POWER!!!!
Together they make... The Incredibly Spectacularly Awesome Dudes!
v Would you want to be saved by the Incredibly Spectacularly Awesome Dudes?

heart ... Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight ...
^ Would be the entire cast of High School Musical. Terrorising the world with tackiness.
> No dingos in my part; we do have red backs, huntsmen, black widows, king browns and I think a few cobras though ((plus a whole host of other spiders and snakes that I can't name off the top of my head at the moment, including the insect that looks like a Daddy Long Legs but isn't even a spider)). I'm more wary of spiders than I am of snakes; snakes I can just bash with the hoe, but if I'm trying to sleep and I feel a tickle on my leg, throw back the cover and find there's a huntsman on my leg ...
Not pleasant.
It really depends where you camp. Being country kids, our schools would take us down to the city to camp, where we'd stay in caravans and bunks and go bowling at night. When really young, we'd camp at the school, have crappy breakfasts and watch a video nobody wants to watch. Family camps for me have mainly been at a place called Peter's Creek; no real danger there unless you're idiotic enough to set your tent up at the bottom of the mini cliff ((and therefore get washed out at high tide)). We would have camps of 2 - 3 families; sometimes with two families that lives nearby, other times with my brother and his family. And most of the time if we weren't swimming or fishing or cooking Goddess knows what over the fire, we'd be climbing through the mangroves ((we found a good route that had some tricky parts, but it was fun)) and attempting to catch the little crabs.
And on our Year' 11 hiking camp, the only things to worry about were getting enough air to make it over the next hill, trying to keep your feet on the ground at the top of said hill when the wind decides to pick you up and throw you into the barbed wire fence ((whilst wearing the backpack from the-place-I-don't-think-can-mention-here-and-it-feels-odd-not-to-say-it-as-I-don't-count-it-as-a-swear)), not catching anything from the outhouse and making sure you haven't set your tent up on top of a cow pat.
V Hungry?
... So are the memories of love that we knew ... heart
