Certain musik makes me aggressive and irritable or even depressed.
But that's the kinda music I like.

When I can't listen to music for a few days my brain works much better.
Much clearer thoughts. Much faster thoughts. Much "better" thoughts.
But I like listening to music so much.

Darn it.

Queenslanders are cane toads.
The nickname for both states comes from the State of Origin.

As long as I'm not reminded of my life situation, I'm happy.

Family may have been right when they said I was born in outer space and lived under a rock!

We don't really call you guys that a lot. You'd mostly only hear it around State of Origin time (people sometimes say "cockies", too). And like Raleigh said, you're more than welcome to call us "cane toads" back. Or "banana benders", like CL mentioned. There's no shortage of jokes about Queenslanders.

That probably explains why I haven't heard of it. I'm not into football - or sports in general - at all... :roll:

Sometimes my desktop icons get dislocated.
And I'm like "f**k! My precious order! ".

Such a day was yesterday.

Maybe I should get used to using cmd.

Well, I have 76 desktop icons (77 slots, one empty) so it's hard to remember what goes where.
I could make a screenshot to know, but nah.

Bloody hot!

I don't think they've got a nickname but then, what would I know? I'm hardly a part of this.
