And why do you care? As I said before, they're grouped by their patterns and history here, not over there. You're looking at it from the wrong perspective

I noticed now that it is mentioned that some countries don't really holiday..and I have to say I don't understand that.

I don't understand why someone wouldn't want a trip. Like my sister never holidays, ever.. Nor my aunts or uncles. I couldn't cope.

Know what? Forget four beers. I might just go for five. Almost done my third. Went by too quickly, but I'm feeling good right now.

I'm so fuking depressed too. Two jobs in as many years, and both terminated because of "reductions", as they like to say, not because I've been a poor worker, because I haven't. Nowhere even close of graduating either. I'm bloody 30 and next semester I would be sitting there with people born in -97. And I miss home as hell. Turku is nice, but I want to go home to Helsinki. The housing costs are terrifying there. I have no girlfriend, no nothing. And yes, I've been at a psychiatrist.


Ok, enough of my rant. I just had to get it out there.

Maybe a girlfriend would help. It's always nicer to face life together with someone instead of all alone. Are there no suitable women where you live?

My sister is soon to be 30 and was in your situation recently, still living at home, claiming dole and not sure what she wanted to do. She dropped out of college, moved to Lincoln with her then-boyfriend, and then spent the next 10 years moving back and forth between living with our parents and sleeping on her friend's sofas. She worked at a supermarket and as a receptionist but she didn't want to spend her entire life doing that.

Then one day she applied for a job working with children with behavioural problems. We have a younger cousin who has anger issues so she used him as an example of how she can deal with troubled kids. She got the job, and now she's living 100 miles away, has a boyfriend and they are planning on buying a house soon.

Things can change quickly. Keep hope!

Maybe, maybe. I'm quite a vindicative person, so maybe I will spoil her life again.

Enough of this self-loathing, but thanks anyway. I just don't know any nice girls ATM.

In a great mood - we got a very nice t-storm, and it's been raining for a whole hour. Not much wind, but lots of thunder - the deep, basso kind that rumbles and rumbles.

The weird thing is that it was so dry this morning (dp 62) and then it got humid in the afternoon, and boom, surprise t-storm. This is the kind of summer weather I don't mind.

You've had some bad luck lately, but luck will change. Don't let a period of bad luck define you. You are the boss of your life.
Find out what you want to to, something you feel is you, giving you that flow feeling when you forget about time and place. Then, set goals bringing you closer to that goal, and go for it.

I do mind it. I'd be quite happy never to experience another thunderstorm in my life.
