I was thinking on my way into work today what I was saying about Andrew Abbey being like a role model for me. I guess it was just because he was really clever and he always beat me at computer games. I just used to wish I could beat him at something, but hey now Australia, it's a losing battle. My other role model from childhood has to be Dakshina. I mean this girl used to drink my rosehip juice when I was little, so I guess somewhere in my rosehip juice deficiency I didn't quite make the grades at school that she did. I used to get told Dakshina this and Dakshina that a lot and was totaly jealous of her successes, but hey jealousy never got me anywhere. Apparently she studied hard. I was supposed to look up to her becase she was older and wiser than me, so in that way she was a great role model. In some ways I think it's a bit tough on me trying to catch up with all these brains, but hey it was worth a try. Dakshina now has her PhD and has set up her own law company. I have visions of it being like Ally McBeal, but I haven't seen her in so long that I have no idea what it's like.
People with talent. Now that was what really annoyed me as a child. All these people who could sing and play piano and my mum was there saying how talented they were. Of course, I could have been talented too had I been bothered to practice my piano, and get further than grade 1. I guess I'm getting to appreciate talented people more these days. It's just a case of still trying to find out what my talent is.
Well that was what I was thinking about in the car on the way in today. I'm really tired. I think I must have some sleeping disorder where I need like 12 hours sleep a day or soemthing. I gave my parents a lift to a party they were going to - partying on a school night aswell! And they called to get picked up again around 1.30pm. Well it did mean that I found out that Mark Harmon is in Chicago Hope and he still looks yummy. For those of you who don't know who Mark Harmon is, he's in Worth Winning - one of my fave films where he as to get engaged to 3 women for a bet. He was also in an episode of Moonlighting, where he played a guy who was an astranaut (I can't spell it) who used to go out with Maddy Hayes, so David Addison did his best to get rid of him in a drunken stupour. I guess you had to be there.
And I did get to see Jerry Springer talking to lots of couples in which the wife had cheated, generally with another woman. This left me with narley though at night of why women would want to sleep with women who looked like men if they didn't want to be with their husbands. But hey why not?
