Oh, fudge !
I just broke my chair. It went *KER-ACK* .... oooops.
So, I'm off ! Buying a new one. A proper one, this time. My aunt gave me (or will give me) money to buy a proper one for my last birthday. Or was that my 18th birthday ? I don't really remember. Ah well ... *goes off, chair-hunting*

On another note, I got up at 9 am today. Hurray for me !

Oh, hey, and there's this movie I hope to watch tonight. I think it's kinda going to suck, but I just read the written version of it a little while ago, in that Stephen King bundle. "The Night Flyer" ... (speaking of which, I should get started on reading more) .... Anyway, while reading it, I already imagined most of it quite visually, and wondered how it would look with visuals ... I didn't know there was a movie of it, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found it's on the telly tonight. Will check it out. Not having any high hopes, but it's always fun to see writing converted to film, even though it's often done in a sucky matter. And did I mention before that my sister is a Stephen King fan ? Well, she is ... so when I found that movie in the TV guide, before I even considered watching it myself, I called her to alert her of it.

.... Ah well, just found out that the train I was planning to take is the one that never goes at that time. It's horrible .. I always want that train, but it never goes ... So I have some 45 minutes left to burn here, instead of just 10 ... mmmm ... what to do, what to do ?

Oh, and I updated some links to blogs. I added Ian to the list (hope he doesn't mind), and I updated Elise's blog name, too. A bit overdue, since she changed it from "~ elise online~" to "~ Murmúrios ~" last summer already. Oops ... Hmmm .... I tried renaming 'em all to just the owner's names, but that looked ugly ...

Dang, writing down those dreams is taking me more time than I thought. I was planning to write 'em all out today, but I guess that's not going to happen. I have some really short drafts done for all of 'em written down, though, so I won't forget 'em.

Also, I'm heading home-home tonight. I may have some time to write down one or two more once I get there, but probably not. They'll be delayed till sunday, or later. But I'll get 'em on here, eventually. That's a promise. Mmmm ... Don't remember my dreams of the past two days, slipped straight from my mind when I woke up. Too bad, since dreams are cool. But I still think I'm on a roll, remembering a lot of 'em lately. It's the good stuff ... *g*

I managed to complete one dream. It's not too gracefully written, but ... pleh.

BLOGGER IS BEING AN ASS AND IS NO LONGER SHOWING MY PAGE !

... bastages, this'd better show up.

Oh, and I should really gets started on those dreams. Got an extra bunch already, even though I didn't remember tonight's.

~sigh~ again.

Or still.
Bleagh. Today wasn't any fun, either ... Oh, I don't know. I shouldn't be complaining, but I am, anyway. I'm just feeling down. And I don't even really know why. Maybe it's a bit of lonelyness, maybe it's some bits of concern, maybe it's just boredom. Or maybe, maybe, I've just been thinking too much. I don't know. It shouldn't be boredom, because I did enough stuff the last two days. .... I'm just down ... I feel like putting on some sappy movie and cry. ... ~sigh~ ... heck, forget the movie. I'm not up for another 1½+ attention span to something. (Already watched two movies today, and I'm tired, mentally)

Haven't been able to go on-line that much last two days, either. But now that I'm on-line right now, there doesn't seem to be anything going on here, either. Well, I knew that, already. Managed to sneak in some 5 minutes a couple of times to see if there was anything new. Which there wasn't, really ... I suppose that may be part of me being down, too. Not being able to go online and then find out that there's nothing you missed ... That sucks ... .... But, no ... that's not the reason why I'm down. If there'd been stuff, it may 'ave cheered me up a bit, though.

Hrmmmm .... Also, I think I'm a go give up on that "going out" thing. It's bloody useless. I don't enjoy myself, and I'm not really meeting people, either. And it doesn't look like I will be learning to like it, either. ... Oh, sure, I suppose my housemates may be able to drag me along another couple of times ... but ... pleh.

~sigh~

Don't worry too much about me, though, folks. I'll be fine ...
Here's to tomorrow. (again ... )

~sigh~

Ok, got stuff to blog about, but now I'm tired and I'm getting some sleep.
Today's been a long day, and near the end of it all I wanted was to go home, sleep, and skip to tomorrow.
In fact, I think that's what I'm going to do right now, unless my mother and sister bug me too much and make me tell // listen to some late-hour storytelling about tonight.

Hah-ah! I am on my way to make it into the annals of time. Isn't that a nifty quote ? ... I think it is. I can already picture it appearing in quote collection books, people's blogs (One down, thousands to go !), forum signatures, bumper stickers ...

Vacuum cleaners suck because they blow
    -G.J. van Nes

Muahahaha ! I am going to be so famous.

... Uh ... right.
Anyway, it appears to be my quote. I searched for it on google, (and for likewise phrases) but nothing turned up. Means it's mine. (w00tness!)

This morning, when I opened my closet to decide what to wear today, for the first time in my life, I felt like I needed new clothes. All my sweaters and shirts and whatnot are all at least a year old, Some even 3. And really, for the first frickin' time in my entire frickin' life, I felt like I should go out and buy some clothes. *gasps*
That urge is all-gone now, but I have a feeling I haven't seen the last of it. Maybe it's finally that independance/maturity thing kicking in. Yes, yes, Gerko's growing up to be a big boy.

Anyway, I remember some bits of my dream this night, too. Looks like I'm on a roll here. ('course, you'll see that once I write down even just one here, I'll stop remembering 'em) And yes, I'm postponing 'em even more. Man, I'm good at this. Hehehe

Oh, and I'm heading home-home now. Taking the train in some 40 minutes or so. Elise is still ill at home, and the antibiotics aren't kicking in. Doc's having her blood tested now. *crosses fingers* ... Been meaning to pay her a visit for a lil' while. So I'm going there tomorrow. And sure, I suppose I could go home tomorrow and visit her on friday instead, (I'm busy saturday) but I think that'd be ... um ... weird. Or whatever. Not that it'd bother me, really but ... pleh.

Hrmmmm ...
Laundry folding or late lunch ?
Well, both, obviously.
But "late lunch - laudry folding" or "laundry folding - very late lunch" ?

... *stomach growls*
Right, lunch first.
... *reads package*

Ooh ... Gerko's been a good boy today so far. June's package is on it's way. w00p-w00p. I think it should be there in 2 or 3 weeks. I could've paid some €9,- extra and have it there in 1 or 2 weeks, but I think June'd get mad at me for wasting my money, since she already gave me a stern look when she found out those 'babelaars' were more expensive than she thought they would be. Oh well. Guess she'll have to wait that extra week. I didn't get around to transscribing that letter into a *.txt file anymore, but I do still have the original draft. Don't know if what I blogged about last entry had anything to do with not-copying it, though. I think I was just being lazy.
And while I was out in town anyway, I thought I'd go get my addy fixed as well. I was still registered as living in the house next door. (Baaaaaad Gerko forgot to notify those city people that he moved) But I'm all fixed now. Only one year late. ~whistle~

Oh, and I remember a bit of my dream of this morning, as well. I'll see if I can blog about it later today. (whoa ... déjà vu) And I'll add in yesterday's dream too, if I get around to it.

But first, I'm going out again to buy some groceries. Food supply is running low, and I'm almost out of my precious soda water, too. (Only 4 bottles left. Hehehe ) ... Also, I have some laundry to fold. Not very interesting, but ... Oh well.

Oops. Sorry for the delay again. I had planned to write an entry yesterday, but I was pretty much busy all day. Well, from the moment I woke up, that is. Somewhere past 2 pm. But don't judge me too harsly, I had something of a party the night before. The girlfriend of one of my housemates was having a housewarming party, followed by a 'going out' into town later. It was "okay", as usual. Mostly just sitting/standing around doing nothing on my part, as usual. I'm starting to think I'll never get used to going out and 'having a good time'. Not that I really mind, though. Had four beer, got home around 4 am, and was asleep around 5.

So, yesterday, I was busy writing June's letter. It's about half a year late, but I finally managed to write something down. I think I'll mail it tomorrow. Don't think I can make it on time today, since I still have to burn her a CD and figure out how to fill up the box I'm shipping it in. That will take some time, and I only have about two hours left until the postal office closes. (And ofcourse, spending time writing on my blog isn't helping any with that timetable, either.) Anyway, I'm a bit proud of my letter. Oh, it's nothing overly fancy or anything. Actually, I think it's kinda plain. But it's my first letter, ever, and that deserves some pride, I guess ... I'm thinking about typing it over in notepad and keeping a *.txt version of it on my PC. I don't know ... I kinda wanna hold on to it, yet I think that it's not really the right thing to do with a letter. I mean ... I 'unno. Aren't letters supposed to be 'gifts', in a way ? Something you give away ? Instead of just sharing ? ... There's a difference there ... Somewhere ...

Oh, and I remember my dream from this morning. Been a while since I remembered something so clearly. I'll see if I can blog about it later today. First, I'm a go eat some (late) lunch, (Guess I skipped breakfast completely) and then start cranking on that CD.

Agh ! What's happening to me ? ... My mind ! My precious innocence ! I'm losing it ... It's been going for quite a while already, and I thought it'd be a good thing ... but ... Look what it just did ! .. it's horrible ! ... Horrendous ! This is bad, this is really, really bad.

n.

4. A viscous whitish secretion of the male reproductive organs, containing spermatozoa and consisting of secretions of the testes, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands.

Ooooh ... pretty stars.
Pretty, shiny stars. Oh, beautiful pretty shiny stars !

*gleefully jumps up and down*

It's all worth it. It's all worth it. ... :D

Argh ! ... These glasses. Horrible.

Well, not really. It's nifty being able to see far away, but I'm having problems seeing up close now. Everything in arm's reach (if not more) takes a second ar so to focus on. I had to push back the screen a bit even because it was annoying me too much. Even if I relax my eyes for a second, close-by thing become fuzzy. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR MY POOR BRAIN.

Yeah, seeing things far away is weird, but it's not too bad. Also, things look shinier. 'specially cars. Oooh ... shiny. *g*

And it's horrible as to how quickly you get used to it. Less than 15 minutes after I first put them on, and then took 'em off again, I felt handicapped by not seeing beyond arm's reach. GAWD, I'd better get used to these glasses soon, or I'll have to get some that aren't as strong, or whatever. I don't know. I just know this is annoying.

I am such a cry-baby. I should be happy I can see stuff.

Oh, and my mom called a little less than an hour ago. My glasses are ready to be picked up. Going to do that tomorrow or so ...

eep !

scary.

Gerko's Weekend of Magical Snow Adventures ! - Part II

Before continueing the Magical Snow Adventure, first a mysterious interlude.

Somewhere around 10:34 am, the phone rang. If you look at the timestamp on my last entry, it shouldn't surprise you that I was still in bed. But at first, I didn't think anything of it. I just assumed it'd be my mother. Or possibly my dad. They are, like, they only people who ever call me here, anyway.

But there was no reply on the other end. There were some sounds, but no-one talking to me.

• First thought : Oh, someone must've called me on his/her celluar by accident. Mom, probably. She did that before.

• Second thought : This isn't my mom !

• Third thought : OMG! Malay !? ... This must be June !

• Fourth thought : Oh, she must be in class ...

• Fifth thought : OMG! This is costing her a lot !

*yawns* ... This is what I get from procastrinating things too much. ("Tomorrow, Tomorrow, there's always Tomorrow", my ass, it already is tomorrow.)
Anyway, this entry was almost done, but I'm too tired to finish it now. So I'm calling it quits for now. The first half is complete, though, so here it is. Come lynch me if part II isn't up 12 hours from now. :
