admittedly…

I have good friends who offer me really nice things, like cooking for me

Unfortunately, I have no time. Last night I was up til 2am, actually working.

Go me.

Now, I only have to turn that toward working for the thesis rather than for the job.

a trunk full of lubricant?

suffice it to say that I have a sometimes cliché-gay roomie (i’m talking fishnet-underwear…) with sex-shop-owning friends who give him flavoured lubricant.

Which he uses to flavour his sparkling water.
yuck?
YUCK !

In other news, I spent an hour on my hands and knees today, not to be fucked from behind, you perverts…
Unfortunately, it was because the linoleum in the kitchen is so damn dirty that it needed scrubbing, mopping, another mopping and then some dry wiping…
I also cleaned the remaining two windows of the shared rooms (kitchen + toilet), did two loads of dishes (dishwasher still not working, old dishwasher wasn’t broken, water pipe was, new dishwasher, thus, not working…), cleaned out stuff from the kitchen into the hallway, sorted garbage and old paper, hung up the paper lamp (sort of, needs fixing), changed two light bulbs and, that’s basically almost 4 hours in the kitchen without getting a decent meal out of it.
At least I can now walk barfoot into the kitchen without having to be grossed out…

So, of course I didn’t make it into the office early enough to finish the survey and put it online, so I’ll do that now, before the student representatives-meeting starts at 8.30pm.
We have a long agenda, so I hope I’ll be back before 11pm to work on some pictures for the job tomorrow.

I have a big car to move the rest of my stuff on Wednesday, so Tuesday, besides work and meeting for a lecture, I need to really really clean up the new room to make space for the new boxes to come. ARGH.

hopefully, next week will be less stressful.
And – YAY - we’re getting internet tomorrow!!!

protect me, protect me…

so, i’m old now…

got presents from the ex that he’d already bought and a set of dishes and cutlery from work and a nice bunch of flowers, yay.

Had some problems with the birthday-breakfast we were throwing, not enough knives, no coffee filters in the beginning, not enough bread rolls, all worked out okay though.

I was good til early afternoon til it hit me that I want to reset everything to where we started. make everything good again. stupid, stupid. Moving out next week. everything changes…

music: Placebo
Maybe were victims of fate
Remember when wed celebrate
Wed drink and get high until late
And now were all alone
~ protect me from what i want

Stumble into you
Is all I ever do
My memory’s hazy
And I’m afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Is all it’s gonna do

As the headache fades
This house is no longer a home
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
And everything that’s true
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
~ Because I want you

TO-DO-List for the break (commented)

I’m very proud because I already called in the money from my conventional savings account (0,5% interest…!!) and yesterday sent off all the paperwork to open n instant access savings account at comdirect (4,75% interest for the first 6 months, then 3,8%). yay.
Go me. Pretty soon I’ll be pretty rich

________________
oh, and I’ve already done some stuff:

[x] ordered spanish leaflets for the band
[x] reported back for the new semester
[x] built a little box to hide the clutter on my desk + support the printer
[x] contacted venues and radio stations and festivals

I feel so house-wifey…

I’ve just made another batch of Applesauce *yum* and I’m knitting a new scarf for winter. *lol*

I could lie now and say I’ve nothing else going on since I’m home sick…
supposedly.

In reality I have to go to my classes, of course, especially since it’s the first week of the semester… And also there’s the Ba/Ma-graduate-party to organize which I did. The only thing is that I’ve not been working all those hours I usually do.
I don’t feel that bad, actually, I don’t have a fever or a sore throat, but apparently I’ve not completely cured a sinusitis and now I’m on antibiotics and completely wiped after just climbing the stairs to the appartment. yay. Go me.

I think this is the first time I’ve actually put sugar in with the apples. Or the other way round, I let the sugar heat up for a while before adding the apples – adds a nice touch of caramel!

our new office

with added beach-flair to preserve the summer – wither the cold!

I’ve never officially resigned from a job…

But today I’m going to do so. However, I’ll keep working there *lol*
I have three contracts with the University Councelling- and support center and I’m only calling off one so I can take up the Job in the psychology-department. But it’s exciting enough to me

Also, I’ve never done taxes before cause I always earned very little but this year I’ll have to just for November and December. Haha, I’ll be RICH

Oh:

I want to invite this so called chaos that you’d think I dare not be

*gah*

Life’s insane right now. Have to decide between a few jobs, work on photos for our cover,we’re under terrible time pressure and there’s not much I can do. I’m done with my vocals and I can’t do (musical) studio-stuff so… sitting, waiting, wishing…

I’m looking forward to the next semester though, lots of work = lots of money, plus only a few hours of class a week and my BA-thesis to think about. yay

I just hope we get that CD out here……..

music: Alanis – So-Called Chaos

Deadlines meetings and contracts all breached
D-days and structure responsibility
Have-to’s and need-to’s and get-to’s by three
Eleventh hours and upset employees

I want to be naked running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos that you’d think I dare not be
I want to be weightless flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to who I was meant to be
