I just watched a video on YouTube by ‘Stir’ which is part of ‘World Vision Australia’

Between 17th and 19th of August they are having a 40-hour famine.

They are challenging people to go without food, technology or furniture…or even all three!

I’m thinking about taking part in it but the whole point in it is to raise money to feed families in 3rd world countries so will need sponsorship and if possible, someone in Dundee suffering with me.

I’m thinking of going the 40 hours without food or technology…only way I can go without furniture is to sleep on the floor, which isn’t very likely.

Another problem is the fact it’s world Vision Australia that are organising it, but I’m looking into that.

Thoughts/Opinions?

This is inspired by a friend 'Nerny' who did the same thing a few days ago.

10 statements but no indication of who the statement is about.

1. You underestimate your skills, you have skills that others don’t, you may not be the best at what you do, but don’t lose heart, you are good.

2. You procrastinate a bit too much; if you fail, you have no-one to blame but yourself as all that time you were watching movies and playing games you could have been studying.

3. You do too much! College, a job, all this time with me; you’re not superman you know

4. You are kind, sweet, caring and would do anything for your friends, I know it sometimes feels like they don’t appreciate you as much as you expect but they do, they would never take advantage of you and if you simply stopped being nice, you wouldn’t be you, keep it up.

5. You lie. Not big lies, in fact it’s more that you fib. You make little jokes but in such a way that it could be construed as lying. It IS funny and does no harm. Just make sure you don’t start believing what you say and don’t do it so often that people no longer trust what you say.

6. You talk too much; you can yarn on for days when you really have nothing of interest to say. Sorry but it’s true.

7. You are a chauvinist, a dick and a great friend;
Don’t stop being a chauvinist; you make us all laugh when you make outlandish statements.
Don’t stop being a dick, you have a view and will fight it to the bitter end, even if it involves you getting physically hurt to try and prove your point, it’s hilarious.

8. I’ve not known you for very long, less than a year, but we clicked almost straight away, I thought the connection would fade but it didn’t. you have joined the medium length line of people who brand me a good hugger. We should get a drink soon, catch up, and celebrate the end of our exams.

9. I’ve known you for years, you have been there with me through the good, the bad and the absolutely horrible, we’re not extremely close, in fact it sometimes looks like we hate each other but thanks.

10. I like you, I think you like me too. We don’t exactly live close but you are one of the most fantastic people I have ever met. You didn’t talk to me that much when we met but on MSN we can talk rubbish for hours, I have quite often sat for hours after I really should have been asleep, just to talk to you.
