Literary, Musings September 19th, 2007In response to the last entry, here are the answers:
Kaylee asked:
If you were given a million dollars, what would you do with it?
Donate a good chunk of it to research, give a good amount to my parents to live off, give another good chunk to them to invest for me.
How did you envision your future as a child?
I can’t remember! I think I may have wanted to become a high court judge at some point… not any more, too much work. I’m not THAT dedicated to law. :P
Amanda asked:
You and Tim seem to have a really close relationship - have you ever talked about making it permanent (e.g. marriage), or even moving in together?
Moving out is likely though I need to finish my degree first (another year to go!) and get a job first. But it would be nice to be more independent. I don’t think either of us hold ideas of marriage being this sacred union of two people… it’s basically just the law recognising your relationship, and financial consequences that stem off that. We would like to get a civil union instead (cos that just sounds way cooler) but I think only New Zealand allow civil unions between heterosexual couples. =/
Chantelle asked:
If you could have your picture taken with any living person, with whom would you choose to be photographed?
Stephen Colbert. :3 If not him, then my grandma from my dad’s side. I haven’t seen her in so long (she still lives in China) and she’s quite old now… it’ll be nice to see her before she dies.
What kind of law (if any) do you want to practice?
Intellectual property or cyber law. I haven’t done the latter yet but I’m so interested in how the internet interacts with our legal system I would love to have my career based around it.
Rilla asked:
If you weren’t doing law what do you think you would do?
I would say psychology because I have a strong interest in it, but I don’t think I’d be a very good therapist; I don’t think I deal with other people’s problems very well. Otherwise, I actually wouldn’t mind a common office job (with friendly work colleagues) that pay okay. I don’t think I ever had a strong interest in massively developing a career, I basically just want enough money to live comfortably so I can pursue my hobbies.
What do you think is the purpose of your life?
To be happy!
Sarai asked:
What was your inspiration for this layout?
I… didn’t make this layout. ^^; Credits in the footer! But I liked it for its simplicity, however, I recently found I don’t like light coloured text on very dark backgrounds at all. I hope to change it soon.
So there you have it. Also I finally installed the threaded comments plugin, so now people can reply to each other! Oh and one last thing, this is the most awesome thing I saw yesterday [source]. It’s in no way practical I know, but… it looks awesome. *__*

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Oh wow I love that bookshelf! I want to do that! But I doubt I’d be able to find everything. :(
Ok so I checked up “civil union” on Answers.Com and it says: “A legal union of a same-sex couple, sanctioned by a civil authority.” Is Tim a girl? Or why would you need to get a civil union? But you could come to New Zealand either way. :D
Well if civil unions afford same-sex couples the same legal rights as marriage, the former sounds better as civil unions have less of the traditional connotations associated with “marriage” (religious and social). It’s purely an aesthetic thing. ^^; But no, Tim’s a guy. :P
By the way Belinda, since you said the purpose of your life is to be happy, I’ll add in a recent tip I heard: eat banana peels! They make you happy. :)
xD I’ve never tried it before! Wouldn’t the skin be bitter? Do you have to cook it first?
Lol I’m not trying. I’ll stick to my chocolates. :D
