(no subject)
First of all, a bit late but Happy Liberation Day! (The Dutch will understand ^^)
Anyways, on that note, my Dutch class started on Saturday, the downside of waking up early on a Saturday morning was well worth it. I was taught pronunciation, the one area in all my time studying from books I could never master at all. We have an excellent Dutch speaker who goes fast to cram everything in yet not leaving us behind, I'm relatively happy with what I can learn and what more I can learn by myself after this class.
I've taken my car into repairs today, the news isn't good, another CV joint is fucked and apparently the car is a mess with grease destroying a whole bunch of important car parts. For the non-mechanical people like me, this basically means a $500+ bill. I'm getting rid of a social life this month and working very hard to pay this on top of many other expenses that must be paid (passport, holidays, dentist, doctor, concert tickets). I'm considering replacing the car at the end of the year or next year, me thinks.
My relationship with my mother is at an all time high, she seems to really respect me, care for me, not get in my way and does so many awesome things to help me get through my life, so I really would love to treat her to a very nice mothers day, but sadly I really can't afford to do so with all these expenses plus I'm working a 10 hour shift on that day, hopefully an alternative solution can be done on Saturday or Monday, plus it would avoid all the crowds at the usual places.
I remember not too long ago when I was filled with nothing but praise for my old rave crew and while I look back at the fun times that were had, it's interesting to see the direction all of them have gone. One of them is the new breed of Indian telemarketer who keeps messaging me to buy pills off her, despite the fact I've never ended up buying a pill off in my life. Another one of them has gone from being an uberstar in the cyber/industrial scene and turning his back on this scene to find himself all alone, without any friends, life or dreams no thanks to many bad choices this person has made. As for the one who I had a crush on, she's smoking ridiculous amounts of crack and stuffing her face with McDonald's two times a day, utterly repulsive. I'm glad so much has changed about me for the better.
I've met a girl over Myspace who within one conversation has proven to be one of the only few people I truly see as a valuable contribution to the human race. We've talked a lot about a variety of issues that fuel my hatred for the human race and yet this is a rare glimmer of hope that our world is not dominated by human stupidity and destruction, yet I see a very kind soul in this girl. Yes, now bring on the comments about how I have a crush on her and/or am cheating on Amanda with her....... XP
To sum up the last two paragraphs, I want more friends like the person I described in the latter paragraph and I honestly don't give a shit about people who act in the way to those I've described in the paragraph before the latter. I'll expand more on this in time.
Much more to write, but so little time in my life..............
