Ever wonder what it’s like where I live? I found this website while chatting with a friend and looking for photos of Rotterdam. There’s lots of pictures from around the city on there, was a pretty good find. Stephanie voted off Survivor.. not like I couldn’t see it coming but I know Tom is next and then there’s really nobody …

My Chinese friends are here and gone.. they came here together with their son who thorougly enjoyed playing Super Mario Kart while us adults chatted. It was actually a much more enjoyable visit than I thought it was going to be, even with the odd language issue. Sadly though, just before they left my neighbour wendy came down to let …

Tired today even though I slept in until 9am, which is about 3.5 hours later than usual. Of course, we went to bed quite a bit later last night than we usually do as well. We were joking last night about how we are the ‘old folks’ and wondering when it came to be that we found 1:30am to be …

I just saw the comment left for me by Xenoguy and it reminded me that the guy in my class told me the name of the author of the book I’m looking for. So I jumped up and scurried around looking for my bag, which hasn’t moved since my vacation started.. I’m such a lazyass. Anyway, when I looked at …

Last night our friend Bart came over with his new girlfriend Marijke. Well she’s not really new to him, they’ve been together for like 3 years or something, we just haven’t seen him in that long. Shameful huh? One of my absolute favorite people here in NL and haven’t seen him in years! I’d try to describe him but he’s …

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 …

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 …

There was a girl I knew when I was a kid. She lived up off of Musgrave’s Lane and used to hang out with my friend Sarah a lot. Her name was Angela and I used to think she was such a goodie two shoes. She never wanted to do anything really risky, she was so pretty and polite and …

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 …

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 …

The timed cat feeder didn’t work, feeding them a little before we went to bed didn’t work.. We’re still being woken up all night by our cats and I honestly have no idea what to do. They are my responsibility, I love them.. but they are making us both crazy. I know I’ll probably just continue to suffer because I …
