...undrar om det någonsin tar slut?

yet another Thursday...

Surgery supposed to happen today was moved again. Wonder when it will finally will be kicking off?

Thursday again. I should really do something about my growing list of things to do (by some reason it tends to grow on Tuesdays/Thursdays). Perhaps I can manage to remove some items from it before the weekend...and spend the weekend doing something else than digging myself through it.

"Den som lever får se."

rain, rain and some more

It's still raining, can't believe it. Been like this for many hours now, for sure 20++ hours. Ok, rainy days come and go but usually it stops at some bloody moment during them. Not today. Been raining all the time, big drops or small drops. Or medium drops if such exist.

Remove the lovely rainbow & the flowers and you get a picture of how the sky looked today :(

Stuff that annoy me at the moment:

• people who try to control my life;
• people who try to tell me how to live my life;
• people who are impossible to get hold of;
• people who are not replying on emails;
  
• rain;
• html code;
• Internet Explorer;
• sleepless nights;
• timetable of train #42;
• all the pointless tv shows like Top Model, Idol, Stjärnor på is and So you think you can dance - since they make it damn impossible to catch up with people since it seems like EVERYONE except from me LOVE that shit;
• ...and then all the other things that I am too tired for adding to the list.
  

I do NOT appreciate...

...getting

• spam;
• chain letters;
• chain emails;
• chain sms messages;
• 18 sms messages from the same person in 12 minutes!

Hint hint hint...

family names

Tricky business, this with family names.

my mother - Nilsson

my father - Näslund

my sister - Angermann

my brother - Söderberg

me myself - Forsman

...asking myself - how did this happen? Start to believe that we are collecting names. This has some cons sometimes:

• phone calls can be interesting - people never find numbers and they get confused by all the names;
• your snail mail is for sure lost every now and then since you can not put that many names on the mailbox;
• children in this position have a living hell in elementary school when forms are to be filled in and signed by one or both parents - names never match;
• all registers have multiple entries for your phone number, i.e. if someone uses the register to call doing some marketing related then you get one call for each entry...
• Try making a reservation for a "family event" - I can remember one of the times when "we" tried to have a "family dinner" at some place. Of course arriving in different cars from different locations, having some "additional" family members (girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives/children) with us as well. We are kind of a distributed family. FUN. Four of us arrive and enter the place, the guy working there asks us if there is a reservation and if so in what name. This was followed by four of us looking at each others asking "who made the reservation? I did not this time". It all ended with us telling the guy "it is kind of a bigger group, around 25 or so". Have to admit that all of us laughed at this comment;
• ...

...and some pros:

• phone calls again - if you don't want to be found this with multiple entries can be good since people get confused and give up thinking that there has to be a mistake;
  
• snail mail - you tend to not get some post, some annoying things tend to disappear;
• you get the pleasure of seeing a surprised face when you try to explain these things to other people;
• people don't "associate" to your parents/brothers/sisters when they see/hear your name, i.e. you are not compared with them all the time;
• ...

conflicts

What would life be without conflicts? Imagine a world in which all the people dressed in the same way, liked the same kind of music, ate the same food, watched the same kind of movies, drank the same kind of beer, enjoyed the same kind of travels and so on.

A bit boring maybe? Well, I think so. Then I rather take whatever conflicts I end up in. Cleared out one of them yesterday, feels a lot better now. One down, one to go.

...but then again what are all these things compared to what happens over in Kenya? Those people have problems.

new year - new mistakes?

*******************************

New year - new life? - new mistakes?
Who knows, let us find out.

...but first, let me "close" the "old" year.

2007 in short:

• Made a bunch of stupid mistakes (Sweden & NL);
• Some of my dearest friends killed themselves/died in accidents;
• Made five trips to the Netherlands;
• Met a lot of new people, found a few really good friends among them;
  
• Spent the summer in Luleå;
  
• Moved away from Luleå;
• Got released from my secretary duties;
  
• Joined the evil (?) forces of infra;
• "restarted" an open relationship;
• Got addicted to oranges;

...and so on!

Based upon this, what will happen during this year? New mistakes? New places to see? New things to explore? New people to meet? New people to become friends with? New people to ignore? New people to love? New people to hate? More friends to bury?
