^Oh gosh, I've been wanting one of those for a while. They have one at the salon where I get my hair cut and I always have the chai latte. It tastes just like it came from a coffee shop. :)
 
I am having a little coffee party.

Back in the day my mom used to call those coffee klatches.:) As far as the machine goes, we have one at my school in the teachers' room and it is great for making a quick cup with no mess to clean up. I must admit that at home, I am so wedded to the little ritual I go through using a melitta filter and pouring one cup at a time. I think it's more the ritual than the actual coffee I want. LOL
 
I switched out my regular coffeemaker for a keurig and I hate it. I really really liked the idea of this one. It's cheaper, probably does't take 2 minutes from pressing the on button to finally having the water hot enough to begin brewing and the scoop section looks big enough that you can pour your own coffee in without it spilling over the sides.
 
My boyfriends mother is a heavy italian woman. I went into the kitchen to find something sweet but couldn't find anything so I was going to come back to my room and as I was leaving she asked me if I wanted french toast. It was irrefutable (it's rude to refuse an italian womans cooking). She used a half inch of olive oil to deep fry it. I had to eat it. The predominant flavor even with maple syrup was olive oil. I think I might be going into cardiac arrest right now. 8(

<3 PiP <3 Awesome work on your abstinence.

=D.

thanks!

it just was not necessary, a damn good outlook for my future health, and a much welcomed anticipated break. it really can suck smoking all of the time knowing you had better or else, while being exhausted with the stuff and not wanting too even look at it. providing the senses a chance to remain open for more simple joys ;) to notice now and look forward too later. i luvs it to wake up then be quickly heading out on a walk first thing early morning, to clearly and fully as possible experience and feel a participant amongst the unique harmonious exchange of my surroundings.

hey tds, just dropping quickly again because I only. I'm a 6 hours drive away from home right now for a two-month traineeship. The town and the landscape is stunning, a castle, lots of old restored houses, many lakes and forests, I hope I'm able to post some pics soon.

But apart from that I'm not doing so good... the project I'm working on get's more and more complicated from day to day. Seemed perfectly doable after week one, and today I'm at the point where I doubt there will be any result at all.

I'm also quite lonely here, apart from work I don't know anyone here, which is the worst part for me, because I hate telephoning.

Also I have lots of time to think. I thought I had some kind of closure about my past long term relationship which actually isn't the case, yesterday an old song I associate with my ex made me crying out of the blue, and I often think about the last few years...

The loneliness and the contemplating often induce cravings which I have succeeded so far, but being constantly tempted isn't a good feeling.

Seems like I should pick myself up now and come to terms with this stuff... meet some new people, find someone to talk to, and work on my project despite the problems. Everyone knew it wouldn't be easy so I don't have to take the situation personally...
 
Hey man!
What is this town called?? You are making me want to pack my bags and fly back over to Europe!!
I definitely think you should post up some pictures =D
The project you are working on sounds really challenging, definitely something to keep you focused and fixed on.
I really hate feeling lonely, especially when I am far away from home.
You should keep a diary and write little notes in it whenever you are feeling certain emotions, or whenever you visit beautiful locations, etc..
Really hoping you can meet some people outside of your work! I think you can do it, just throw yourself out there!!
 
Meeting new people and a fresh locale can do wonder for heart break. I hate telephoning too; it's like, hey what've you been about lately? Nothing new. Same here. At least you can tell them some Castlevania stories.

On another technological communications note, I hate checking my email b/c the thought is always if I look at it, OH SHIT I have to do something about it.
 
Yeah, I get the email thing. In the summer I forget to check it a lot and friends are always saying, "What do you mean you didn't know about it (whatever it is). I emailed you!" Then they get mad because I don't check it every day. But now that teaching is about to start back up I will have to get responsible again and check every day.:p

And here is how I feel about work starting up: :) and :( I get all excited to see all the kids again and it is fun to think up projects to do with them but I just really hate any kind of routine. If I could just be a professional daydreamer I think my life would be perfect. What if you could get paid for just floating around feeling content and putting positive vibes out into the world? =D
 
It's called Schwerin, a small town in the east of Germany and def worth a travel if you're in Germany anyway.

Yes, I think meeting some new people would improve my mood a lot. Let's go!
 
I need to make some new friends. I have the *best* friends from my hometown but I only see them once or twice a year if I'm lucky. It's kind of sad to think that I've lived here for over 9 years now and haven't really made any friends here. I'm too picky and awkward. :\
 
I have embraced life as a hermit, I'm enjoying it, I full fill any need for social interaction via the internet and I do whatever I want all the time.
 
I go in phases where I either want to completely isolate myself or surround myself with people. Most people don't really understand it, so if I do start to make a friend and decide it's time for some alone time they're gone by the time I decide I want people in my life again. It's frustrating. I wish I was normal and could just find a good balance. Either that or I wish my friends that do understand me lived closer.
