A big hello to Patán & Frauke

I couldn’t post yesterday here…
Well, I always can edit the timestamp
On the 29th of February I spent a really nice time in Caldas de Reis with M. & J. and their family, our all-time friends. I always laugh so much when I am with them

And on the 1st of March… I worked a lot in the morning (no, I haven’t given my super-lesson as a whole class teacher, YET :mrgreen:) and I even managed to not get lost in my German class in spite of having missed like 5 days So I am supposed to feel great but… Spoiled my 12th day of healthy life falling into stupidity again Oh well… Anyway I’m feeling confident enought to repeat 12 more days of good habits and even more (yay for me 8-)).

I hope I will be able to post here before next week, but I’m pretty bussy so… Please don’t forget me!
(Anyway, Iva, I’m very aware that your birthday is the day after tomorrow Complimenti ragazza!)

Curious…
I spent last night crying like a child, serious. And not feeling miserable and “crying inside” as it happens sometimes, but feeling miserable and crying like crazy for a long time and caused by a wide variety of reasons, which included the terrible ammount of work I have to do, my terribly missed friends from childhood and some issues about my parents; then I had the great idea of saying to myself: “it must be something hormonal related to your period :dead:” in an attempt to comfort myself a bit, but realising I couldn’t blame my poor hormones (at least directly) made me cry even more

Anyway, as soon as I got up this morning I turned on my laptop PC without knowing what on Earth I was going to do and begun to introduce data for my pre-doctoral thesis in SPSS… Suddenly, what I have feared that would took me about a whole month was almost done (I’m sure I’ll finish it tomorrow); then, I received my TOEFL test scores and saw that I had got really high marks (well, I knew I had done it well in the exam, but not *that* well :P). In the afternoon I wrote three pages of theoretical stuff for that bl**dy thesis and I even had time for practising gymnastics (yup, I’ve been nice to my body for a week and a day so far ;)).

Now I’m tired, realy tired, but just tired: not tired of being tired after being doing nothing :mrgreen:.
(Gosh, how pathetic was that phrase :geeked:)

Now I come to think of it, I might have to cry more often…

Thanks Iva & Patán for you comments

I have just come from cutting wood with my father and my fingers are numbed :dead:.
It’s been funny when my mother came to the field to see what we were doing: I was with my best trousers and jacket doing the job, and just when she arrived, my father accidentally dropped his axe and it almost hit me. Well, it wasn’t that funny, but my mother’s face was

Now I am uploading a new version for Diletante.Net (hey, it’s been online for one year so far! :D), and helping Helen to buy her new domain… Oh! I’m thrilled, one of my birdies flies out of the nest :violin:. But I am proud of her and she will always be my web-comrade

And as for this morning: my first day of the practice period in that High School… I got up at 8 after not having slept much, my mother yelled at me for taking hours in the shower (I almost got sleep under the water ) but after all I was ready earlier than her.

My parents work at the high school which is next to the one in which I am doing the practice period, so they parked the car in their place and I went on foot to mine… Gosh, how exciting is this Bah, I don’t feel like writing about it, but to say it briefly: I spent a lot of time waiting for my tutor, who appeared at 11 a.m, gave me some indications and say I had to work a lot. Thanks heavens I’ll only have to go on Mondays and Wednesdays. Then I spent the rest of the morning until 14:30 in the faculty of Social Sciences, basically wandering around the library and working a bit on … Nothing really

After having lunch I had so much to do that I didn’t know where to start, so I began writing in cyrillic alphabet someone’s name in a computers magazine… Fortunatelly, I realised how sad was that pretty soon, and to avoid getting mad I did that new version for diletante.net

Oh! I have just received a phone call and I got hired by a mate of my parents to help building a website :dance:, I will host it too, and I am getting payed! Now when my mother comes late at night yelling at me for spending so much time in front of the computer, I will tell her that I am working

Well, after I have finished helping Helen I will go and do something useful for my Earthly Life Oh, well…

Tomorrow I will start the practice period of the pedagogical course I told you about It will be in my birthtown because when I was asked to choose a place, I didn’t know what I was going to be doing by March, so… Now it’s a pain because my German lessons are in Santiago, and Pontevedra is 54 km far from there, but oh well…

I’m a bit excited about all that, but not that much: almost every single member of my family is or has been a teacher, so I’m used to dealing with “the environment”. Anyway, I’ll try to post here any anecdote I might have during this practical period, I even created a category for that

And as for sites… Well, I’m just doing tiny retouches to everything, but I will be designing new layouts if my pre-doctorate thesis and all that C.r.A.P allow me to do so

And from now on I am mentioning all of you nice commenters, because it’s just fair and because… Because I feel like doing it 8-): Beth, Patán, Iva & Joanne, Gracias chicas

On the 17th of February I bought a new domain for the fan site about Jacques Gamblin I run, and afterwards, while I was trying to mend a php script I had just spoiled I wrote an e-mail (quite an absurd one, actually :dead:, but also fun I guess) asking someone I love (yep, *love*) for a kiss (yup, a *real* one).

On the 19th of February (my aunt Mil.’s birthday, by the way), at 5:30 in the morning the new domain had already propogated.

On the same date but a few minutes later I got that kiss… Call me weird or whatever for having asked for it by an e-mail, but I got it, that’s the point.

If you live in the Euro-zone it’s a good moment to buy things in dollars because they turn out to be pretty cheap: that’s why I took to buy my 5th domain

And as for those things that money can barely buy… I know that I will not be able to meet him (yes, it’s a *he* but the point is that he is a person) in several months and that he doesn’t feel the same about me as I do about him, but I don’t really mind: what he does for me is more than enough to fulfill my regular dose of sentimental necessity or whatever you call it. I am not ambitious in that area either, so… I only had had those same feelings once before: in the period between I was 8 years old until I turn 16 or so (although sometimes it’s not easy to say that it has actually ended). The one I have just mentioned is a story that I never even tell to myself in high voice, so that’s all about that so far.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m talking about love.
¿Infatuations? That’s another issue: I get infatuated once per week or so

Hey! I had never been so explicit about my “earthly life” in a blog! I wonder if anyone cares anyway :smh:, but well, as you may understand I just had to post it (oops! I hope he doesn’t care, but I’m not being that explicit, am I? 8-O)

Incidentally, the main part of Carnival celebrations here starts tomorrow :dance:. As I have already said I will be desguised as a princess who goes saving princes all over the world and instauring Federal Republics
Carnival in Galician language is “Antroido”: I like that word…

And I should go fixing some errors I know I have in a lot of the sites I run… Oh, well, maybe tomorrow

Ciao for now! Enjoy yourselves!

I’m really bussy these days, but still round here
And in less than a week… Carnival holidays!
See you!

Click here: it’s not bad for your health; your mother surely has shown it to you too.

I’m fed up with the USA false moral: they get angry because of a teat (HEY YOU, WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF CENSORSHIP THERE: THERE ARE 3000 MILLION WOMEN WITH 2 OF THEM AND IT’S NOT A CRIME TO BE PROUD ABOUT IT, I ASSURE YOU) and they don’t mind distroying a city with thousands of years of history and showing it to the world :doh:. What annoys me most is the fact that they are trying to impose their stupidity to the whole planet…

This is not anything against (some) USA citizens, because I’ve known great people there, but I cannot believe the self called “greatest nation in the World” can behave as the greatest shit ever.

If you tried to promote your next album, Janet, you’ve made a big deal with me because I will buy it. You are not a worse person than Justin Timberlake (traitor) or George Bush (no comments), you deserve your piece of glory too.

Sorry about my language, but I’m really fed up with all that censorship shit.

I’ve had to close the Glossa/Linguae forums (about languages) due to lack of time and lack of inspiration… Well, more precisely: lack of time to develop my inpiration All the same, I have just uploaded the French version of Linguae, the fanlisting for languages & Linguistics. It was written by me with a little help from Mercredi, although the main “bêtises” are mine and only mine I love French, but I’ve never studied it “comme il faut”, alors…

Bon, I’ve also added several codes to the Shoujo-ai & Yuri manga & Anime fanlisting, donated by several nice girls (thankies :geeked:)

What else… Well, the folk dances rehersal has been killing today: we repeated the same “Galician jota” about nine times, and I ended up all wet because of sweat I had to go to a birthday party just afterwards, but I managed to convince my mother to let me take a shower before. Then we stopped in Pontevedra to buy presents at Imaginarium (I secretly love that shop :tongue::luv:) and off we went to Arcade (see map if you are lost).

It was my parent’s godchild’s brother’s birthday (got it?), and he turned one year old today; my father couldn’t go and my sister was bussy with her boyfriend so it was me the one who went with my mother. I always enjoy going to that house: the children’s mother is Russian and for some reason she finds me “interesting” and she enjoys introducing “real” interesting people to me (I found this Russian girl really interesting too); besides I like children, and for some reason they tend to like me too So I always end up having lots of fun there (well, today of the children threw out on me, but oh well :smh:…).

Today on this birthday party I met an Irish woman who works as a teacher of Bussiness English here in Galicia; she came with her children and the Romanian au-pair of them, so I practiced both my English and my (poor) Romanian at the same time. It seems that I have a *practically native* British accent when speaking in English, and a *really neutral* Romanian accent when I (try to) speak in Romanian… Whatever, I’m showing off, and I don’t like it, really, but that’s what they said and I somewhat liked hearing it… But I hate complimments, I never know how to react: it’s even difficult for me to just say “thanks”

But Yeah, I’ve had a really nice time this evening. Furthermore, this Irish woman knows a person who could host me in Ireland if I ever want to go there (YES, I DO): I got so happy when she told me…

Oh, and now my parents are going out… (Great!) Yeah, I’m 25 and so on, but when you are at you parent’s home, your parents are still behaving like “parents”, so it’s almost a celebration having the house for a few hours without them

I still got heaps of things to do for the Faculty, but I am so glad that I am willingly going to do everything right now

La revedere!
