Okay, you may have noticed a few cheating posts lately. I did lose motivation but I managed to make it all the way through to the end. Of course I only posted once on the Month’s theme (it was green). Ah well.
I’m not planning on falling off the blogging wagon however, I am going to enjoy going to bed without thinking I have to blog before I go to bed otherwise I will have failed the NaBloPoMo.
So let’s have some celebratory things because I made it!

Not sure to be honest. I hope it would be ideas.
362. Do you believe that spell casting can work?
It may. I don’t know.
363. Are you a fan of The Legend of Zelda games?
Funnily I am part way through playing one. The Phantom Hourglass. So far it’s fun but Boy Child finished it really quickly and I feel a bit like an idiot that it’s quite hard for me.
364. What old movie would you go see if it were re-released in the movie theaters?
Umm...I really don’t know.

No.
367. Do you think it's cheesy to paste things you didn't write into your diary?
I don’t have a diary. But I don’t think it’s cheesy. I guess if you were claiming someone else’s poetry or love letters maybe otherwise, no.

No. More the opposite.

Yes. But I’m not going to shove them down your throat.
379. If yes, can you still hang out with and be friends with people who disagree with you?
Sure. Why wouldn’t I? Opinions are everywhere, and everyone has the right to have them.
380. Are you uptight?
Sometimes.
381. Do you sometimes do risky things?

Depends who the person is. I’ve often felt that people like I’ve got no skills or work experience because I wear jeans and joggers and don’t seem to have a job.
391. Are you quick to judge others?
I try not to be. But I can be.
392. When you have a fight with someone do you want to talk about it right away or calm down first and then talk?
Calm down first. Really, truly need to calm down first.

Intense, wonderful and heartbreaking.

As far as I am concerned, the inability to empathise or accept difference.
395. Do you have it?
No.
396. Which do you think has more impact on a person’s character, genetics or environment?
Ah the old nature vs. nurture debate. I really don’t know. Maybe it’s 50/50?

342. Does it seem to you like the range of socially acceptable behaviour is getting smaller or larger? Both. In times last century people were judged by gender or skin colour etc. Women, aboriginals, African Americans etc were not allowed to vote. Thankfully, that has changed. Previously, people were allowed to hit children with items to discipline them. In general that is no longer acceptable. Society is evolving and things that were acceptable are no longer. New things become acceptable.
343. Have you ever fired a gun? No.
344. Are people becoming more afraid of each other? I don’t know. More cautious maybe.
345. If you had to choose the percentage of freedom vs. safety what ratio would you decide on (ex: 100% free 0% safe)? As Julia Roberts’ character said in Pretty Women “I’m a safety girl.” So for me tonight the answer is 30% free, 70% safe.
346. Does safety stifle you? Not usually.
347. Who or what needs to be stopped? Lots of things. Famine, cruelty, abuse, etc.
348. Are human beings becoming more domesticated? Than what?
349. Do you follow the lives of the British Royal Family? Not really. I just hear or read what is in the news. I don’t go looking for Royal information or TV and magazine specials.
350. How did the death of Pope John Paul II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II) affect you? I was saddened. He seemed like a nice man.
Today it was sunny and that was nice. Maybe winter is on the way out. Which is good because the grass is in dire need of mowing but it keeps raining and then the grass is too wet to mow. Hopefully we will be able to do it tomorrow or early next week.
We have nothing much planned for the weekend. I did the grocery shopping today but really we are just planning on hanging around at home. Which is not that different to most weekends. I was explaining to someone recently that we are mostly homebodies. The social whirl I had recently was an aberration.
Now with September in 5 days perhaps I should be using my time to plan and then spring clean the house. Because it is really, really needed! Anyone got any great ideas? All advice accepted!
I hope you are all having a great weekend.
So book week dress ups went well. Girl Child went as Princess Charlotte from The Tiara Club. the only issue was she couldn't find a tiara (and she has a few of ones she has made) so she made one before school. Pity she decided to use glitter glue and there were still wet patches at 10 am. But she had fun. There were two Hannah Montana’s in her class, which I thought was interesting but lots of TV shows have books now. There were no Ben 10 in Girl Child’s class Psych Babbler. Just an assortment of pirates, cowboys, Star Wars and Transformers characters.
Apparently the majority of Boy Child's class dressed up as well. And Boy was impressed when someone knew exactly what his character’s vest meant. So both children had a good time, which is lovely. Next year there won’t be dressing up for book week for Boy. Well at least I don’t remember it being done at my High School.
Mr E. is home now so I better go and chat to him before bed. Once again, Good night all.
