Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts. If you're tagged it's your turn.

1. I only came first in one running race in primary school. There were only two of us in the race, and the other kid fell over and sprained his ankle.
2. I was born in Queensland
3. I'm related by marriage to the premier of British Columbia
4. I've been using Macs since I was in pre-primary school
5. I've been using Photoshop for 11 years
6. I've been stripped down to a pair of jeans and searched by US Customs since they thought I was actually American, not Australian
7. Another time, I ended up in a small town in upstate New York state with no money and no-one knowing I was there, at 10PM
8. On a high school field trip I stopped a japanese exchange student from getting hit by a car by grabbing his shirt and pulling him out of its path
9. I started off saying "I've been there!" while watching TV shows because I actually had been there and had remembered it. Now I do it to annoy people (at all times however, I have actually been there when I say I have)
10. I went to 4 primary schools (Albany, Cunderdin, Maroochydore and Subiaco)
11. Most of my tshirts are black
12. I don't read very many books, other than each Terry Pratchett one
13. I ♥ [livejournal.com profile] lizbyrd
14. Someone once tried to mug me at Joondalup train station. I say tried, since I was with 2 members of the swedish special forces and a WA police detective. The swedes kept the guy occupied by asking what he meant, while the detective went off and grabbed two railways police.
15. My hands and arms lock up every time I try to sign a greeting or credit card, since I'm worried my signature won't look right and I'll mess it up. This makes me more worried and leads to a vicious cycle
16. My happiest time so far has been 10 days in England and Scotland in 2003
17. I really, really need another holiday
18. I don't have a driver's licence yet (I'm almost 26), but I'm getting there
19. My birthday is in 11 days
20. I can play the harmonica

As for tagging more people.. hmm :) I tag: alias_sqbr, azhure, baroquestar, basswars, belladonna, blu, cantspell, celestial_chaos, fee, firefly21, kashi, kattiko, kudzita, pennae, punquin, stephiepenguin, strange, therealocelot, ursamajor, velithya, xphile101

(But my feelings won't be hurt if you don't ;p)

Hmm shiney digital cameras.. I've been pondering getting a DSLR, especially after seeing the photos from [livejournal.com profile] firefly21's wedding taken with the Canon 300D.. this is basically what I'm looking at so far.

CameraLensPriceExtras
D5018-55mm$143570-300mm
D5018-55mm
55-200mm
$1735SP600 flash
D70s18-70mm$2000-
D70 refurb-$1395-
350D18-55mm$1545$150 rebate


The D50 is basically the D70 with SD instead of compact flash (so no microdrive).. all of the Nikons are 6MP, and the Canon is 8MP (but at that size it doesn't really matter).

Jury Duty continues till tomorrow, then I should be back to work. w00t ;p
