My run in with the crazies (and the nice)
Is it because it's spring? I mean, the climate changes have been severe. I'm talking 6℃ jumping to 20℃ kind of severe. Whether weather was what wrought it around, I do not know, but yes lately, it seems the crazies and weird have been on the rise. Some of them have been cause to both alertness and awareness of self, for me.

And yes and amen to everything you wrote in that job paragraph. I feel so out of place here sometimes (well, quite often) because so far I haven't really met any programmers who are not "full-blooded" programmers - like, they do programming in their spare time and are actually interested in it - other than me. I'm really just in it for the money. XD (As in, I wanna pay my bills food and rent and like having a bit to spare, I'm not making teh big $$$$$ here XD) And it's not a nice feeling because it kind of makes me feel like I'm "inappropriate". I enjoy some of my work, it's not like I hate all of it, but... yeah, it's not ~me~, as you said.
[edit] That paragraph sounds a bit stupid... it's all a bit more complicated than that. Me and job search has always been a touchy subject, so I can't really explain it well... argh.
Lake sounds nice. I'd like a garden. With fruit trees! (And then someone to make me take care of them so they don't die like any plant I try to take care of, haha...) And lots of pretty flowers. And then I just need to get over my fear of any flying insect....
Naaaah it's not as bad as "borderline harrassment", no worries. Just annoying sometimes, but I think I get annoyed too easily. Need to learn to stay calm. After all, that guy's really irrelevant to my life in general, so he can say what he wants. :P As far as I know, repulsiveness is not contagious, luckily! X)
...okay now I have to out myself as clueless, what the hell is a Bangya? o_____o Anyway... uh, I very much doubt Kaoru is a bad guitar player... He's no John Petrucci for sure and he makes mistakes on stage like pretty much everybody does, but other than that... huh? His guitar tends to sound a bit off during solos sometimes, but I've always thought that was deliberate. I think it's all just part of his playing style and I personally love it and find technically super-skilled guitarists really boring most of the time. :P But yeah, to each his own. *tries not to get too overprotective of kaoru bc she worships him* XS
OKAY SO IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, YUSSS! 8DDD
Haha, such an aversion against trains? We never travel any other way. XD (Unless it's to London, then we take the plane, but I'm deathly afraid of flying really... so only when something big beckons, like Kate Bush last year XD)
Anyway, we're staying at Eastseven Hostel in Prenzlauer Berg - was the best compromise we found in terms of price and convenience (yeah, I need a certain degree of convenience XD). The last two times we stayed at another hostel nearby and I really like that part of Berlin (yeah, you don't like it, I know, but I think it's kinda cool, not touristy or anything, more "hip", you know?). So yeah, we're arriving a day before the concert and leaving for Dortmund the day after the concert. 8D I just hope the train drivers aren't gonna be on strike then. Grmbl. -____-;;;
I like your attitude. It's kind of sad how (at least I feel that) when you grow up, you get the feeling that being this passionate about something (at least something that's not your job :P) is somehow inappropriate or childish? Though I do understand the other side as well - I would be much too afraid to take a sick day and possibly get into trouble. :x (Yeah, I'm a bit of a coward, in case you haven't noticed... not proud of that...) I'm glad it all worked out smoothly for me with taking holidays this time. Boy I'm glad that the first few Europe concerts always were on weekends or holidays, I never had to skip school for them. XD Anyway, having only just been under threat of losing my job last year due to mass firings, I kind of get how you wouldn't wanna risk your job. You gotta pay your rent and food somehow after all. :x ...then again, if it was for Diru, maybe even I would do it? I've never had to, so I don't really know. XD
ANYWAY. If you like, we can exchange some means of contacting each other (idk what you prefer, phone number? mail? something that's not LJ) sometime before the 20th, so we can find each other on the day of the concert :3
