Dammit - if only we weren't separated by a decent-sized body of water. :S
Seriously, I know what you are going through and it's hard not wanting to rant about it to anyone around you, fro fear of looking like you don't want to be there etc.
Gotta go, REALLY late for work!
But if you need to talk more or just blurt out in the general direction of someone going through pretty much exactly the same thing, I believe you already have my e-mail address. Feel free, any time. (I might do the same, if you don't mind me whinging! :D)
seriously! I wish we could hang out. I know you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. Complaining at all leads to harsh criticisms of my choices and/or decision to get married-- which only makes me more upset. I would love to talk to you whenever about whatever thing. Do you have aim? I'm not so good at the email thing. Did you have friends in Sitges before you moved there, besides your husband?
Mmm, no, I odn't have aim - the only thing I have is msn chat: graeco_celt@hotmail.com - I think my username is currently Boing Boom Tschak (not 100% sure, as I haven't used it for ages).
The truth is, I'm not often online in a chat-relevant way, though I'm quite happy to be online if I know someone I want to talk with is going to be there. I've only ever been online every single possible minute for the period between getting together with Florenci and moving to the same country as him! :D
Anyway, add me, if you have msn. If not, we'll think of something else. Gmail also has a chat function - if you have an e-mail account with them?
No, I didn't know a soul here before I came here. Most of my acquaintances (read: except for you and two others) here are from within the family, my work or my Catalan classes. I'm not yet fluent enough in either language to feel confident about going out and making friends on my own (there's one whinge right there but I'll refrain from burdening you with that just now!)
and...have no idea why I haven't made arrangements to go. Pau can't, of course, because of his work (well, perhaps Saturday night/Sunday...but doubt it)...but I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off so I'm thinking about heading out there.
I had a look at the link and, honestly, there are only three names I even recognize! (Devo, Dinosaur Jr. and Le Petit Ramon) Of those three, the only one I'm really interested in seeing is Le Petit Ramon (a friend of Florenci's and I like his stuff, though not sure if it's him or his whole band who will be performing).
Also, money money money (as in, they require lots and we don't have any!)
However, if you come over for the weekend or whatever, we could defnitely look at meeting up for coffee or lunch or something. What do you think? In fact, if you need it, we can provide a bed for you (okay, we're a train ride away from the city but it'd be somewhere free to dump your stuff, at least!) Let me know.
it is so nice of you to offer to meet up and/or a bed... turns out that partner a spent more money than he/she said to partner b and now we don't have any extra money to do anything (ahh the joys of domestic and financial partnership). I definitely won't be going...although I do feel like I need to get the heck out of here sometime soon....ahh!
it'd be more fun to meet you guys anyways than go to a concert. Perhaps sometime when we have more cash pau and i will spend a weekend in BCN and hope you have a day open to have lunch or coffee with us (picnic?!)
Oof, don't even get me started on the finances! I've spent most of my 32 years single and suddenly having to consult someone else, consider someone else, subject myself to the decisions of someone else (as he as to with me, as well, of course) doesn't come easily.
Anyway, whenever you guys make it over here for a visit, or we make it over there, it would be lovely to meet up for a picnic or something similar. :)
