"I aim to excel and have little patience with platitudinous excuses. I am unafraid of voicing my own views and regard that as a form of courage. I am intellectually extraordinary. I do not fear hard work", says a applicant to
sorting_elite. And that's just the start of the fun.
Troll or not, that entry just makes Samuel Johnson weep and weep. (And my rather visible outer Social Democrat, too. Ooooooow.)
The "TV-charity" of the year is on tomorrow. Basically, it's an annual charity drive run by the public TV-channel here called NRK. The entire TV day will be devoted to it, tens of thousands of Norwegians will go door-to-door and ask for donations and you can call in to give as well. This year it's been given to Medecines Sans Frontières - Doctors Without Borders - a very good cause. We usually raise something like 140 million NOK, which is around 20 million US dollars. Not bad for a population of 4.5 million.
I'm backup door-to-door person, so we'll see if they need me, heh. I love the fact that they have more volunteers than they need. Dugnad lives, huzzah.
Newsstory that made me laugh: Vicar helps women in his town getting knickers and gets dubbed 'knicker-vicar'.
Newsstory that made me VIKING SMASH: Putin makes rape joke.
Meanwhile in Norway, the leader of Vigrid gets convicted of rascist stupidity again. Maybe he'll shut up for a while. Maybe Odin will rightfully smite him for totally perverting Asatru. I can live in hope. (Oooh, to let him and Fred Phelps have a cage match...)
I still feel like he gave me hateful stupidity cooties by living in my neighbourhood. Ugh.
Finally, am fiddling with my user info to go with new layout coming and thus will need new "What others have said:" too. So, got something to say on me you think fitting for my user info? Say it here. Serious or silly, whatever you feel like.

In other news:
NATO is not pleased Norway won't send more troops
Unusual shark catch in Norway
Paris airport gets in a bit of a row over muslim staff
Nicaragua close to total abortion ban

Also: Cam is totally not a member of the Sekrit Evil Cabal that controls Doctor Who fandom.
And you didn't hear this from meno subject

Date: 2006-10-21 03:56 pm (UTC)Which brings us to another point. I told you you're getting a double present for Noel since I was a moron on your birthday. But if I'm going to be getting you something from your wishlist, it'll most likely go straight to you. And so...you're getting your birthday gift...ahem...now! Anything special you would truly like? Or am I allowed to use my naughty imagination?!
no subject
Date: 2006-10-21 04:14 pm (UTC)Oooh, exciting. Anything on the current wishlist is good, but you can of course opt to get something from elsewhere. (And from Amazon US if that's easier than the UK one.) In other words, indulge your naughty imagination as much as you like.

Date: 2006-10-22 09:08 am (UTC)I want to smash too over the 'rape joke' thing, but Canadians aren't known for smashing people. I'll have to make due with the "walk softly and carry a big stick" idea.
