Left my room at 7pm(CET), took the bus to the airport and stood around for 20 minutes before the check-in desk opened, then waited 2 hours in a departure lounge which features a giftshop with no duty-free, a poorly-stocked bookshop/newsagent, and an over-priced cafeteria. 10 minutes before the plane is supposed to leave, we're told we'll leave 90 minutes later than scheduled, because of fog...

Listen up America.
A serious issue has come to my attention and I feel it needs to be broached this evening.
One of my friends in AZ (a friend of my beloved), sent me some candy for a birthday/valentine's present. Now, I appreciate the gift and some of it was very nice (Tootsie Rolls, yes please!), but I'm concerned by a couple of items.

Dude, Everything in America is blanded down. the motto of the american foodservice industry is to make things so bland that they are palatable and marketable to everyone.
My life has descended into a lazy pattern of eating, exercising, surfing the net, listening to music and playing minesweeper/freecell. I'm not too fussed- this is a year abroad after all- but I do have a few deadlines that are coming up in March and if I'm away for 2 weeks from Thursday, I need to get on with work now or the first 2...

A few things stressing me out at the moment, but I'm generally feeling happy. I think this is because I know the things that are stressing me are under control even if they're not how I'd like them to be.
In 9 days I'll be on the way home on the first stretch of my trek to AZ. I'm really looking forward to seeing my...

Wow 8 years is a long time to go without a holiday.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!! 
Had a bit of a party last night, combining mine and another guy on my corridor's birthdays and pancake day (mardi gras). A whole load of people turned up, which was cool and the plan was we'd cook up a load of pancakes, have some beers and then go on to a club, but most people got to about...

Don't want my grumpy musings from Tuesday night on my journal on my b'day, but nothing's happened in the last couple of days, so here's a suitable space filler.
A is for age: 23
B is for booze: Anything that doesn't taste of aniseed, please.
C is for career: I'd like something in music and/or languages, please
D is for Dad's name: Andrew
E is...

Happy Birthday 
pratt_stevens:
happy birfday to you, as well...
Back in about November I was talking about a girl I labelled "Miss Finland". She popped up again with her less attractive, almost conjoined sister on Sunday, much to my mixed pleasure. So we're sat there having coffee, her sister is talking to me enthusiastically (flirting, I think) and then I feel Miss Finland's foot against my leg, deliberately rubbing up and down it. So...

just wanted to drop by for a belated thanks for the birthday wishes! 
teenagesuperstar:
mate, did we both have girls that we labelled "Miss Finland"? remembber the one i had back in December? How weird! and Humphrey Littleton just mentioned "Finland" on the radio
Anyhoo, all straight guys are crap with women, and IMHO there is no wrong with always looking whilst single
and re: my Journal: i was going to write some long story about the few nights I've had with my mate, but i thought "sod it" and wrote that.

Came home from a party last night feeling quite ugly and unloved and although a good night's sleep helped a bit, I still felt a bit of a chump this morning.
Decided that I'd open another b'day present early in order to cheer myself up- a guitar legends CD from Mum and Dad. Loads of classic rock and blues on it, and unlike a lot...

What you said is exactly what I told my dad. During the segregation era black people had lower incomes for obvious reasons. And then their children became poor and so do their children and so on.
But my dad in response said that segregation was so long ago that any effects of it should be erased by now, even though it was only 50 years ago.
Opening birthday presents early, tsk tsk.
Music, icecream and your girl will always cheer you up quick hehe.

Am quite pleased with myself- have exercised every day for a week and a half now.
Part this health kick is the idea of looking hot for my brother's wedding at the end of March, and also looking hot for a certain young lady in AZ... mostly the latter. hehe. And hell, I'm doing it for me too- it's nice to feel hot, especially when...

I do hate it when you find a book that you really like and finish it off far too quickly! 
ciel:
thats such a sweet thing to say thank you
So the plan to get up at dawn isn't working- got up at 11.15 yesterday and midday today. On the plus side, at least I'm getting plenty of sleep- I think I need it.
Joined the gym yesterday, so hopefully I'll be a bit more inclined to sleep at night in future.
Plugged in the kettle to boil some water for my spaghetti last night...
