I did nothing. Well almost nothing - I backed up the computer at work onto CD and made another copy, gave one to my boss to take home and left the other one in the office.

I know a few people who did similar things, just backing their computers up, I don't actually know anyone who stocked up on food and stuff or anything.



Let's go with this freak show. It's outrageous.

Van Damme did. But that blokes an idiot.

I was asleep by 10-ish that night, I believe.

Ron and I had some take out chinese food and watched a South Park marathon. Damon was only 7 months old then, so I had stockpiled on baby food and formula just in case.

I was at work


for some odd reason, while the word "Ganya" was still just a thought-dropping in my head, I thought it'd only be four letters. But apparently it's five. yep.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, diet coke in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.

I was at a relative's friend's house.

The only thing my mom did was get a print-out of her bank account. Just in case.

Kevin: Remember that one time when I ate those napkins?
Me: (laughing) Yeah.
Kevin: That was funny. Do you remember what made me do it?
Me: I'm pretty sure you just said, "Hey, watch me eat these napkins".
Kevin: (laughing) Yeah, that sounds about right.

Did anything bad actually happen anywhere. I don't remember anything bad happening.

The only thing I can remember happening in Australia is that about two weeks before Y2K someone got a letter from their bank saying that their account payment was due on the 5th January 1900, instead of 5th January 2000 and the bank had to review all it's computers and stuff.
