My flist is doing this, and I don't really know if it'll do much good me posting it here, but I'll give it a go.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, life experiences etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

So...what don't I blog about?

Okay, what was the last non-school book you read?

Also, I think I know but I'm not 100%, what *are* your political leanings? Matter of fact, what's the political spectrum like in your country?

I just finished an Australian fantasy series by Kate Forsyth (http://www.kateforsyth.com.au/books.htm) called The Witches of Eileanan (and Rhiannon's Ride, the last book of which, The Heart of Stars, is officially the last book I read.) Mitchell got me into them. Also, I'm finished uni now so no more school books!

I vote Greens when we have elections here, but I support the Labour party over the Liberals. Labour's probably the equivalent of the American Democrats, and Liberal of the American Republicans, although we are slightly more left-leaning - I'd say that both American parties lie to the right of the political spectrum, while Labour is in the middle, possibly a little bit on the left. The Greens are further to the left - they support environmental policies, gay marriage, that sort of thing. I don't know if they'd actually function in power, but if they get enough votes then they get Senate and House of Representative seats and can affect which bills go through, so I think it's important to have them around.

Currently there's a Labour prime minister, Kevin Rudd, who has his own issues but is a hundred times better than that moron John Howard. The Liberal party's in turmoil at the moment, their current leader's a douchebag and there's a lot of in-fighting. Also, the Labour government just apologised to the Aboriginal community for the atrocities committed against them in the past, which is huge.

Possibly more than what you were asking for, but it probably explains my leanings :)

I didn't know you were finished with school already! Damn, my flist is growing up so quick. ::sniffles::

That's so funny that the more conservative party is called the Liberals.

I remember John Howard - he was totally Bush's little buddy, which was enough to make me hate him. I was glad when he got out of power.

Well, I'm 24. I was at uni forever. And the irony of the name of the Liberal party isn't lost on anyone, I believe.

Augh, yes, completely Bush's lapdog. He was an embarrassment in so many ways. The last election was a LANDSLIDE.

Ugh, that comment came off so much ruder than I intended it to. Sorry.

what are your thoughts on poetry?

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Uh, minimal? I don't really think about poetry and, to be perfectly and completely honest, I don't like most of the poetry I do read. I tend to find it corny and abstract and I can't really get a handle on it. There's a couple of poems I really love; I'm partial to a Shakespearian sonnet or two, and I love Jabberwocky. Mostly, though, not a poetry person.
