      I think I was about 10. My parents were thinking of moving from the UK to Australia, so they decided to sell the kids on it by taking us to the luxury resort suburb of Box Hill, Melbourne. haha!
      I'm not sure if we were sold or not, but we ended up moving, thankfully to the slightly less ghetto suburb of Wheelers Hill ;p

      um, we measure in Celsius here (real measurements).
      104ºF = 40ºC, that's pretty hot. Melbourne summers are usually around 30-37ºC, but we do get the odd 42ºC day.
      It's not much fun, especially being in a high risk area for bush fires.

      I have 3 Macs on my desk now, zero PCs ;p.
      I do a lot of terminal based stuff, so I find the Mac is the perfect balance between the cutesy GUI world & the UNIX beard world.
      That said, Ubuntu looks to be shaping up really well there too. Not quite at the OS X level yet, but it's probably the Linux I like most.

      no. advertising it as "for alternative people" sounds a bit weird & pretentious. It kinda looks like myspace (so I guess the weird & pretentious fits ;p).

      No. I don't trust it.
      Also, I'm not a fan of seaweed, not a fan of rice & not a fan of raw fish, can't imagine all 3 would work for me too well ;p

      um, I don't know... I think you kind of build up a tolerance, especially if you're preoccupied.
      If your phone line goes down & they have to call out a technician, it's usually the longest 3 business days of your life! It's kind of worse if there's a weekend / public holiday in there, until it gets to about the 4th day, then you don't miss it as much.
      Also, if you're travelling & don't manage to get online for a week, it's no big deal.

      Beyonce has a new album? I don't think I've ever listened to any of her previous ones

      good, a bit cold & tired now that I'm back home after travelling, but otherwise good.

      It's a toss-up between Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) & Conor Oberst, mostly because they both write great lyrics.

      I don't know if I have a best friend as such... I guess I have more a close circle of friends.

      family-wise, I have a Mum, a Dad, a brother & 2 sisters. They're pretty cool.

      I don't really know how you refer to a kiss (by number?, by date?, etc), but it was probably from an ex, she was a good kisser.
