Sara: Tack så mycket, min älskling! You wrote that sentence absolutely correct :)

I'm itching to have you read my contest entry, so you can experience my flourished wording in yet another language ;p

Schultzie: *gentle hugs* It's wonderful that you think of the moments you had and that it brings a smile to your face, amid the pain of loss.
Lots of sunshine to you :3

Evil: XD You're really on top of your game, my dearest sweety ~_^
My life really has been made heaps better through the love of everyone here, so I plan to stick around for quite some time *snogs*

Slick: *shakes some marraccas* You may all bask in my glory! XD
Thank you for shining brightly for me and so many others, darling James.
It makes me forget all about the rain pouring down outside and only feel the warmth coming from you :3

Two days ago I noticed that the French mini-series "Count de Monte Cristo" DVD-box had been reduced by almost half its price. Obviously it took me 1 second of thought to decide it must be mine (I've been aching for it ever since it aired on tv) and then it was a matter of waiting until yesterday when it would arrive. Gotta love overnight deliveries _^_

It said the box would come with a 'booklet' which I thought would be this small ... booklet with images or information about the movie/its actors. Imagine my shock as I pull out what is the complete and unabridged "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas O_____O

That's right. They sent along the book. In pocket-ish form. In English, which I can read. Talk about a sweet deal. If I remember others opinion correctly it's supposed to be a good read but anyone who's read it can feel free to remind me what they think of it ^_^


In other news. The Swedish potato farmers needn't worry about their crops. When the heat peaked they ran around frantically, flailing their arms like pigs trying to fly, saying their precious taters were being tortured. It's a recurring annual thing. If it's not warm enough it's too warm - if it doesn't rain enough it's raining too much. You know it's summer when you read about them complaining in the newspapers :p


Also. I've been home this week and most likely won't return to the hotel for reception duty. People from both the unemployment agency and the intern program will meet up with me this coming Tuesday to talk about what the next step for me should be. Being able to relax has made me feel like a pancake, all flat and sweet, which worries my mom. She thinks I should go back to my therapist but it honestly feels like a waste.

The problems are clear, solutions to them equally so, my confuddled mind can be sorted out without spending money, I have strategies for coping with hardships already. That's what a therapist would help me with but considering all that ... I don't have an urgent need to go. Trust me, if it was neccessary I'd go. My mental health is something I don't enjoy being reckless with, and if it needs taking care of I've always made sure it happens. Right now it doesn't require outside help. If that changes I'll make the adjustments. Le d'oh.

Oh! Mom had her bike stolen while we were in the doctors' office getting my prescriptions renewed. Yay. That dampened our spirits. She'll buy a new one and hope the stolen one appears, which we all have no faith in. It was relatively easy to find stolen bikes in our old town but a town that's 3 times as big locating a bike is not an easy task to take on.


The calendar I made is faulty. By one day >_< Can't be arsed to make a new one, though, so it's a matter of doing a tiny bit of math to get the day-date right :p A new one for next year is in the works! Dunno if any pictures will be added to it or if it'll only have the month at the top. Hm.

Photomanipulation is going so-so. At the moment I've abandoned my main project to cleanse the mind with another one. The question is: will either be finished? XD
