Downloading in my sleep?

Yesterday, after a painful 24 hours of non-downloading, we checked our data stats on the datagebruik.chello.nl site. It said we had used another 2 gigs, which is bullshit. I phoned them and they gave some lame excuse about someone probably using our wireless, which we told them wasn’t true because we have it fully secured. I guess it was asking …

Murphy’s Law

I got my new hard disk yesterday! 200 gigs just waiting to be filled with downloaded movies, tv shows, music and whatever else I manage to get my mits on. I was so excited! I couldn’t wait for Xander to get home to put it in my computer! He came home and told me we got an email from our …

Not-So-Bitch?

Yesterday I got paired with the girl formerly known as “The Bitch” during our groups portion of the lesson. Over the past week our paths really haven’t crossed, either she wasn’t in class or I wasn’t. Yesterday she seemed absolutely trilled to see me, which shocked the socks of me fer sure. She’s quite a bit more friendly than I …

I am a HEATHEN!

I just got off the phone with a girl from my class. She’s American and I love her to pieces! I honestly don’t know what I’d do if she wasn’t in my class because she is so nice and really helps to motivate me. (By calling and saying “Where the heck are you?!” if I don’t show up, just the …

Pornolize Me!!

Someone posted a link somewhere for a website that will Pornolize any website you want. I did it to my website and Xander and I were in stitches laughing. My favorite part was: The first thing he did was scoop me up in his arms, kiss my cheek and whisper “You’re beautiful!” I squirted.. from Xander’s page in the description …

I’m Gone Dutch…

Today I got up and was checking my email before school. For some reason I decided to check this yahoo group I’d belonged to for ages but rarely read. It’s called Gone Dutch and it’s basically just a group of foreigners who are living in the Netherlands. I saw that they had planned a gathering in Rotterdam for today so …

People piss me off!!

Within the last 24 hours 2 people have been added to my “People I’d like to biff off a cliff” list. First is one of the new girls in my class. We got 3 new people with us who failed the test for the level above us, so they had to come back and do this section over. One is …

The Ring

Today I was on the bus sitting in one of those weird sideways seats right across from the driver. The one where you sit only if you walk in and the bus is almost full and you know if you don’t sit right there, you might not get a seat at all. I hate that seat because I never know …

Shut Up, Spencer!

Another day and another night of lost sleep. All last night Spencer was being a pain in the ass. It all seems so clear to me when I’m laying awake at 3:30am…. just get rid of the cats. Find somewhere for them to go and give them away. When it’s daytime again and they are laying somewhere sleeping and looking …

Random Blabber

Missed school today because I had to go to the doctor. Won’t bother getting into why but it’s nothing that serious. My regular doctor was on vacation and there was some other lady doctor filling in. She was really nice and her english was great. We spoke about 90% english and 10% dutch and she chuckled a little sometimes when …
