An eventfull few days
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Over the last couple of days several things have come to pass.
 First, though not chronologically, was sjors and kim’s b-day party.
Now, for those of you that don’t know sjors. He is best described by the party he threw. The party was one one with a dresscode: B-movie apperal. Dress up as your favourite character in a BAD movie. Needless to say: He filled the place with vampires, werewolves, zombies etc etc. To have 40 people in one place for your birthday dressed up as they were . . . pretty amazing. Of course, this was also some of sjors’ worst roleplaying I’ve seen to date. A jumping hyper . . . zombie?? I dunno, it just doesn’t match. Anyway, sjors is a person dating from before ADHD testing, otherwise he’d’ve spent significantly more time drugged out of his brain. But he is the ADHD bassplayer crazy ass sonofabitch in B-movie apperal . . . . in a good way. And for Kim . . . . I could say many good things, but the thing I think speaks the best of her is that she’s still with Sjors. I mean, I love the guy, but I limit my exposure to him. . . . . He’d drive me nuts in no time, flat.
So . . . . the party. As stated, it was a B-movie apperal movie. So many people came as zombie, werewolf, corpse. Then there was Barbarella, a nameless gangster, some killer tomatoes, screamers (innocent victims :D) and . . . me. The thing with bad movies is that they’re . . . bad. But there’s always that detail that could’ve improved that movie so much. Say . . . . those kids should’ve known that splitting up was a BAD idea. And while it was a stroke of genius to let the leads be played by zombie vikings, it would’ve been even better had they been zombie viking lesbians. And with that thought in mind I dressed up as a Ninja-Pirate-Vampire-from-outter-Space. And because I only had 1 ninja thingy, I dressed Mayke up as Pirate-Vampire-Lesbian-from-outter-Space. It took some alcohol, but the more inebriated the other patrons were, the easier they recognised the costumes. I’ll try and obtain some pictures this time as I know who has some . . . . They’re not in the country at the moment, nor are they within easy reach of an internet portal. So it’ll be a while. But they should be back thrusday. So instead of trying to describe a party such as that I’ll simply refer you to the upcomming pictures as I can’t possbile do it justice.
This party took place on my last working day. So I am now, same as sjors but in a more practical way. Unemployed. Got some nice flowers and a gift card from the boss though. Oh, and I nearly got to blow the place up. hmmmmm, good times
On the not so bright side: I’ve gotten to say goodbye to my puppy. At almost 15 years old she’s had a good life. But her condition has deteriorated so much over the last few days that it’s best to just let her go. The injection is scheduled for wednesday. If she’s not passed on on her own accord by then we’ll help her along.
She was a good dog.
Then yesterday we went to an amusement park because . . . well, damnit. Because WE CAN. We went to Walibi world, former Six Flags. With a weather forecast of 70% rain . . . we had a total of 10 minutes of it :D. And of that we were outside for a whole 15 seconds of it. For some reason there were only a few people there. Well, maybe “a few” is an understatement. But with an average waiting time under 10 minutes it wasn’t quite up to summer-capacity. Deep-fried food, Fast rides, candy . . . Wheeeeeeeeee. No clowns to amuse us this time. . . . but we had a blast nonetheless.
And then today I write this on my new flaptop. Working out how to type at a decent speed withouth double-clicking by resting my hand on the mouse-thingy. Wheeeeee, new electronic gizmo to play with . . . . . Hell, it’ll be enough to keep me distracted ’till my departure. If I don’t get too frustrated by it . . . . Vista, sigh. Are you sure you want to do this? Are absolutely sure you want to do this? You need administrator level to do this. Windows has detected that you are about to try an unsafe operation, are you sure you wish to do this. DAMN, that’s annoying.
I just hope it won’t keep me from throwing my own party right and proper come saturday.
And then there’s the bit that relates to the Japan thing. You know, the reason I started this blog. I received my contracts for the job thrusday. So I can now finish the remaining paperwork. . . . . Showing up at school today though get me 1 referral to someone else and 3 I-dunno-wait-’till-the-regular-person-is-back’s. Grand.
Well, this is me signing off. Waiting for the phone to ring to see if Maaike doesn’t make it ’till wednesday
