Wednesday Weirdness #10

Wednesday Weirdness is here again and questions this week come courtesy of Amorous Rocker. Click HERE to check out WW.

1. Do you ever do your own fireworks show in celebration of the 4th of July? Do you go watch a display somewhere else? How do you celebrate?
Living in Australia like I do, we don't celebrate July 4th. Our equivalent would be Australia Day which is January 26. Our city puts on a fireworks display as do most of the other major cities. We are not allowed to put on our own fireworks display as it is illegal to own or purchase fireworks in my state without a permit (which only licensed pyrotechnicians can get).

2. Do you ever buy extra fireworks while you can to stockpile and have extras packed away for whenever you feel like using them?
See the above question. Owning fireworks in my state is illegal. Even if we could get hold of some, which some people do manage, when you go to set them off it very quickly attracts the attention of police and other authorities.

3. Would you ever get anything below the waist pierced?
At this stage I would say no. I have never had anything pierced and if I was going to start then I think I would start small and work up to a larger piercing as I became accustomed to it. By small I mean something like an ear or eyebrow before starting on nipples and areas further south.

4. Would you ever join the military?
When I was younger I wanted to fly planes and considered the airforce but my maths grades weren't good enough. Nowadays I am outside the age requirements but I think it is an ideal way to get good training and a career. I'm just not sure how I would have gone in a frontline position but I guess you get trained for that.

5. What is your favorite kind of cheese?
I love so many different types of cheese that it is hard to think of one that would be my absolutely favourite. I do love strong flavoured cheese so perhaps I would opt for something like Blue Vein, Roquefort, or Stilton. Blue cheese dressing is also a favourite of mine.

6. What are three things are you terrible at?
1. Taking criticism. I always tend to take it personally.
2. Taking compliments. I guess I am always suspicious of an ulterior motive, and find it hard to accept that someone would have something nice to say about me.
3. Thinking of things like this on the spur of the moment. If I think of a third one I will come back and update this.

7. Do you always wash your hands after you use the restroom?
Always. It just doesn't feel right not to. It was instilled into me as a child and then reinforced when I started work in the hospitality industry. I can't imagine not washing my hands afterwards.
