Funny meme! Play with me!

silverstrand84@aol.com — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:21:24 GMT

I saw this meme over at Mernie's journal and I think it's fun. And I hope I'll be able to solve it.... ;)
So please take part in it!

Leave me an anonymous comment with at least three (3) clues about yourself. My task is to guess your identity. Please try not to make the clues too obscure. They can be things like "____ is my favorite pairing" or "I recently went on vacation in ____" or "My username ends with the letter ___".

Having a life is pretty cool.

silverstrand84@aol.com — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:07:39 GMT

I'm soooo tired right now.
But it feels so good.
You know, after 9 months of doing practically NOTHING - all I really did was: sitting around at home, being on the internet ALL DAY and... that was it.
And now, from one week to the other, my life has changed. Not in that huge way this phrase makes it sound but my daily schedule has changed, and I really really like it.
I go to school, I do my homework AND IT IS FUN! I go to work three times a week, I have nice colleagues and THAT IS FUN TOO. And I have met a lot of new people in the past three weeks and it just feels like... you know, back in school (my old school), before I graduated, me and my friends were the outcasts of the class and we never knew why.
And now that I don't have to see any of these asses again I feel so much better, and I meet new people, I'm confident... and it's great. Even turning 22 sounds not as bad as it usually does.
Now, if anyone has any suggestions for me what to do for a living when I finished language school: give them to me! ;)

Sorry for all the senselessness but I'm just really really content right now - and I figured I'd let you know ;)
