Day 2. Your First Love

1. Only came by in my very late teens.

2. Made me realize I wasn't asexual.

3. Created something like an ego. A small one.

4. Made me see myself in a totally different light.

5. Left quite an impression on me.

6. Changed me in more ways than possible to think of.

7. You have to take all that in the way you want to.

8. That's all I really want to share about this topic.

Day 1. Introduce yourself

Hello. Is this thing on? *thump, thump, Eeeeeeeee* Guess that's a yes..

+nervous giggle+

Uhm. So...Hi!

I'm Jacintha. *Murmurs of "Hello, Jacintha"* My friends call me Jess.

And uhm. I'm an alcoholic. *clapping*

Okay. Not really. I don't drink. At all. *Clapping stops*
But I'm addicted to.. my friends? writing? traveling? the internet? *.. silence*

I'm half-vampire, half-gypsy, a bookworm, and unlimitedly curious.

Right now, I'm trying as hard as I can to think of something to share that people might want to know, that is both interesting for people who already know me for years, and people that are reading my blog for the very first time. And guess what? I can't think of anything. xD

But that's okay. Because I introduced myself. And I rock. 8)

Blog Challenge

So my cousin, Tamara, thought of "entering" the Blog Challenge she found on Stephanie's blog.

Me, always up for a challenge (pfft. I know, right? Hah) thought of joining her.

The idea is to blog 30 days in a row.

Fortunately you don't have to make up what to talk about every single day, there're guidelines to make everything easier.

30 days Blog Challenge:

Day 01 – Introduce yourself
Day 02 – Your first love

Day 04 – What you ate today
Day 05 – Your definition of love
Day 06 – Your day
Day 07 – Your best friend
Day 08 – A moment
Day 09 – Your beliefs
Day 10 – What you wore yesterday
Day 11 – Your siblings
Day 12 – What’s in your bag
Day 13 – This week
Day 14 – What you wore today

Some encouragement might be needed occasionally. (Like, every day)

Maybe 3 is a charm

Last night it was a hit again: Tamara, my cousin, got a call from her transplant doctor, that they had lungs for her. They got picked up by an ambulance, raced to the hospital, whilst the lungs were checked and re-checked.

A rollercoaster of emotions: Surprise, hammering heart at the tension and stress and hope that follow. When you hear that it gets cancelled only minutes before the actual anaesthetic, because the lungs couldn't be taken out without getting severely damaged, it's a disappointment like you can't believe.

This being the second time this happens, I genuinely hope that the third time, will be:

1. soon

2. a success.

Random thinking

Something weird struck me today, and I don't know if I can quite explain it.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, I will always find it odd and a tad hypocritical if a guy will get jealous when his girlfriend kisses another guy, but will be okay with the fact (he might even like it) when the same girlfriend was to kiss another girl.

A girl, when dumped for another guy, will still feel it was her fault, her wrong-doing, not his gay-ness. A guy doesn't complicate things: If she falls for girls, that's just his tough luck.

Maybe women should start the "it's simple" technique. Makes life easier.

It was a deeper, longer analysis than the summary I've typed here. I just feel exhausted now, which is why this is the short version.

I don't even know what triggered it. Maybe I don't really want to know.

The Gypsy.

Opportunisticness.

And then it was time for another update.

I've got a few "visitors". x)

Including mum and my siblings, but also Rowena: A cat.

She's silly. And a bit opportunistic: Only comes for a pat and a rub when she wants to be fed.

Pictures next time. Maybe.

Oh. I need to stop being broke.

Does anyone have good movie and/or book suggestions?

I'm going to be having a lot of time on my hands. I hope.

Back in Holland.

Ah, yes. Updates.

Not good at those. Much.
Did a lot, been really busy.

Avoided a lot, too. Kept me busy as while.

Paperwork, family, friends, movies..

Exhausting myself and not being sorry about it.

Relaxing and sleeping are for whimps, anyways.

A few snapshots of the past few weeks (Not necessarily in chronological order) : Enjoy:

The plane's food was very... worldcuppish.
Too bad that didn't work to our advantage.
Food was better on the way back, anyways.

Visited culture and architecture.

Sunsets. They look so good.


Some things though, they reminded me of Holland. And concerts. ;D

Long lost glory.
This theater has been around for more than a century?
Used to be a theater stage first, turned into a cinema later.

There has been a rather large number of people I know getting bethrothed and/or wed, settling down, and giving birth. Alarmingly many, really, of my own generation. Am I getting old?




These chicks? They be awesome.

Spent a lot of time around kids.

She rocks. Really.

That's the day of the worldcup finals.
We didn't lose cause of lack of supporters in Egypt, or colour-mistakes.

I'm not a sun-sea-sand kind of vacationer.
But swimming was awesome. I even went for a last minute dive a few hours before getting on the plane back.


BOING.

I'm back home. =)
