Well, his younger sister (with whom I used to be infatuated, then I got over it, now I think I'm falling back into that infatuation) woke me up with a text this morning, inviting me to breakfast with her and her mom. Would've loved to go, but having just woken up a tad hung over and... well, hair doing a good impression of itself if...

Tonight was my best friend's stag party. I'm watching him destroy his life with alcohol. If I wasn't convinced before, I am now. He needs to stop drinking. Completely.
He told his dad not to come to his wedding, and that he wishes he was dead. Maybe the guy deserved it, maybe not. Probably not, in fact.
His fiance is petrified because she thinks he's...

alcoholism is a terrible disease. feeling helpless around an alcoholic you love is torture.
there's nothing hopeful or happy to say about it.

My sixteen years old sister is currently dating an alcoholic. Last night she and dad had to pick him up from outside the city graveyard and let him sleep it off on a mattrass by the bathroom. It eats your heart out to see the ones you love suffer under addictions.
I hope your friends gets out of it alright.

I got a new monitor.
Widescreen.
Twenty.
Two.
Inches.
I CAN SEE EVERYTHING!
I feel like I could actually dive in to the Internet.
I need to get some PC games. Do this thing some justice. Goddamn, everything looks so tiny from way up here.

You're never going back.

As a matter of fact my absence has not been volountary, but a result of me staying at my grandparent's place with the rest of my mom's side's family over the holidays. Be as it is that I am already known for my somewhat alternative style, but naked tattooed girls did for some reason not seem apropriate, not even for me.
But I am touched by your concern.
Congratulations on the new screen by the way. You know what they say. In the end, size is what really matters.

I don't care what you people say, I like the cold. I wish it got colder here.
So I have varied tastes in music.

Argh.
I expected to know whether or not I have this job by now. Instead there's a second interview next Monday. And then who knows how long until I know?
Feh.
Anyways.
I bought Rock Band 2. I'm a sucker. Couldn't wait, and I know I'm not getting it for Christmas. My drum set from Rock Band one has totally given out.

New article, you can find it here.
Got a lot of good feedback on this one, so I might make more of an effort to write something up when I feel like there's something to say. We'll see. When there's no money involved, I tend to be easily distracted.
Originally I only mentioned this to Porphyria because she probably knows the author, but I...

Congratulations on the article. It is worth it's new home.
One should never underestimate the power of the Light At The End Of The Tunnel. I should, in theory, be rather okay with my job since I have never been in a place with such a great atmosphere among the colleagues. On the other hand that is the only reason why I have stayed as long as I have. I have always been afraid to wake up thirty years old and realize I have been working at the same place, just out of convenience.

Sorry I didn't thank you sooner. I really appreciate the comment on my "Chateau Laroche" set
I have this badass canker sore on the roof of my mouth near my back left molar. My tongue brushes against it when I talk or swallow. It's been there for days and isn't letting up. Getting tired of it. Real tired. Bitches don't know bout my tired.
Anyways.

Your introduction made me chuckle. Do Arizona have an accent, and do you have it?
Modern history is always interesting. Whether the 1770's counts as modern history, though, is probably a bit difficult to determine. I guess it is too early to tell.
As for me I have completely fallen for a series of radio documentaries about the Swedish current history, recounting its most famous events from the 1940's and forward. They must have made about thirty or forty by now, and it is fascinating how names, places and scandals you have previously only heard mentioned out of context, suddenly comes alive and literally spins a web all over the 80's and 90's, painting a whole new picture of the country I was born in.

I would most likely not be able to differ a New York accent from a Washington accent if my life depended on it, which should be rather embarrassing considering the size of the country. Sweden is barely the size of California and it is almost impossible for the northeners to understand the pure-blooded Malmoe citizens. I lost most of my accent a couple after surgery a couple of years ago, but according to the danes at the desk I do have some odd dialect making me the only one on the desk they can't understand. I don't know what they're talking about. Stupid danes.
History is fascinating, but sometimes I think you have to discover it yourself. Nothing is interesting unless you make it interesting, and most people simply are not able to do that.
I would send you a couple of those documentaries, but I doubt you'd have much joy out of them.
Thank you. I don't expect much else than an "I hope it works out" because that is really all one can say. People have been giving me good advice, and most of it have been facts I have already gone over again and again. What I need now is mainly somebody who can sit quietly with me, listen to all my whining and give me a pat on the back until I get it all out of my system.
That is the good thing about online friends, and blogs. They can't interrupt you, change the subject or slap you for being boring. They have no choice but to listen. Sometimes that is all you need.

Had a job interview today. Seemed to go pretty well. It's the same place where my best friend is working, so his recommendation might give me a bit of an advantage. If I get it, it'll be more money than where I work now. Given a little time, a lot more. It's commission based, but not on sales. I don't have to do any hunting....

I probably would.... But not out of bravery though. More out of a complete lack of consideration of the consequences. There is a fine, fine line between courage and foolishness, and in many places they intertwine.
What would you do?

haha i loved it! Although, it gets a little confusing. Or I could just be an idiot.
That's a bummer. My ex boyfriend had a similar thing about his baby sister, taking a solemn oath to hunt down and kill whoever aspired to be her boyfriend. "I know how boys are", he said bitterly. The irony was so exquisite when this turned out to be his oldest and best friend since childhood. Luckily his best side got the better of him, and his friend is still alive. He even dated her for two years.
Then again it does seem like a good reason to see Ireland. If you make it before 23 Jan I swear I will get up there and buy you a pint. Can't do much about the girl thing though. He could probably have K, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
