UPDATE: "Initial reports blamed a power surge" Funny, when the power fails in my appartment all that happens is my tv jumps off. Nothing ever explodes.
UPDATE: "AP: Police find indications of explosives at scene of one of a series of blasts in London, London's police chief says. "
UPDATE: British army has "occupied" the city..

Simple rules for surviving a LDR - part2

LDR

(To keep this readable the He form is used even though the She form would be just as valid, a LDR is a Long Distance Relationship)

22. Talk about him as much as possible. The only thing better than being in love is sharing it with the entire world. Maintain and feed those butterflies by doing so.
23. Don’t talk about him too much. You’ll only miss him more. Besides, you’ll drive your friends mad!
24. Find a balance between rule number 22 and rule number 23.
25. Do something great with your life. Know that feeling you sometimes get, telling you that you did nothing today to actually make this world a better place? Imagine that feeling AND coming home to an empty apartment.
26. Don’t do something great with your life. Saving the world isn’t half as much fun when you’ve got no one to share it with.
27. Find a balance between rule number 25 and rule number 26.
28. Send/arrange/give small presents or surprises to him. There’s nothing like a nice gesture to remind him of how much you love him.
29. Don’t send/arrange/give small presents or surprises to him. Having a big bunch of flowers sitting in your living room will only remind you of the great person that you’re NOT with right now.
30. Find a balance between rule number 28 and rule number 29.
31. Plan ahead. Not knowing when the next phone call will be or even the next time you see each other can be awful.
32. Don’t plan ahead. Remember when you were a kid waiting for your birthday or Christmas to come and you’re mom kept telling you that it wasn’t until many more nights of sleep? This is worse.
33. Find a balance between rule number 31 and rule number 32.
34. Laugh when he tells you about other girls making a pass at him. Nobody gets into a LDR voluntarily so he most really love you.
35. Don’t laugh when he tells you about other girls making a pass at him. Be honest. You want the bitches to stay away from him.
36. Find a balance between rule number 43 and rule number 35.
37. Live your life like you’re single. As long as there is no one to come home to, why not go out and party every chance that you get?
38. Don’t live your life like you’re single. You’re not.
39. Find a balance between rule number 37 and rule number 38.
40. Count the days until you see him again. Closing your eyes at night knowing you can scrape another day of your list is great.
41. Don’t count the days until you will see him again. Knowing that only 10 out of 60 days have passed so far is a really good way to ruin your mood.
42. Find a balance between rule number 40 and rule number 41.
43. Frequently remind him that you miss him. That’s the one thing you don’t want him to forget.
44. Don’t frequently remind him that you miss him. You don’t want to seem desperate.
45. Find a balance between rule number 43 and rule number 44.
46. Find distractions. Doing things, especially fun things, that keep your mind off of your LDR prevent you from going, well…nuts.
47. Don’t find distractions. You know what’s worse than sitting alone at home feeling like shit because you miss him? Sitting in a bar packed with all of your friends feeling like shit because you miss him.
48. Find a balance between rule number 46 and rule number 47.
49. Think about your LDR. It’s hard enough as it is, so having a few strategies wont hurt.
50. Don’t think about your LDR. You will only end up making stupid lists entitled: Simple rules for surviving a LDR or something like that.
51. Find a balance between rule number 49 and rule number 50.
52. Tell yourself it couldn’t possibly get any worse than it already is. Maintaining a positive attitude is always a good idea.
53. Don’t tell yourself it couldn’t possibly get any worse than it already is. Just when you think it couldn’t, it just did.
54. Find a balance between rule number 52 and….fuck it, you wont find a balance anyway…. so stop trying!!

There you have it, a LDR captured in 54 rules. And people wonder why I am so tired all of the time…

Simple rules for surviving a LDR – part 1

LDR

(To keep this readable the He form is used even though the She form would be just as valid, LDR stands for long distance relationship)


1. Communicate as much as possible. Don’t make the distance longer than it already is by not calling or emailing.
2. Communicate as little as possible. Picture the loneliness and sadness you felt before he called. Now double it and you know how you will feel after the two of you hang up.
3. Find a balance between rule number 1 and rule number 2.
4. Talk about what you would be doing right now if you were together. Sharing those fantasies will closen the gap between the two of you.
5. Don’t talk about what you would be doing right now if you were together. It will only remind you of the fact that you aren’t doing those things right now and you’re not together.
6. Find a balance between rule number 5 and rule number 6.
7. Share your greatest moments with each other. Talking about the great stuff going on in your lifes will make you feel more together.
8. Don’t share your greatest moments with each other. Know the feeling that you get when you’re a part of something great happening to your partner? Well, you’re not a part of it, you’re a bystander.
9. Find a balance between rule number 7 and rule number 8.
10. Fight. The last thing you want is a lot of unspoken issues standing between you or 10.000 frustrations coming out at once when you finally do see each other.
11. Don’t fight. You know how hard it is to resolve a fight? Triple that and you know how hard it is to resolve one over the phone or via mail. Without the hugging, kissing and that look in his eyes telling you that the two of you are alright again, it’s really hard to tell if you are. Besides, without the whole making up part, there really isn’t any fun left in fighting.
12. Find a balance between rule number 10 and rule number 11.
13. See each other as much as possible. Being together are the moments that make it worth while.
14. Don’t see each other too often. Remember that feeling I was telling you about after he hangs up the phone? That’s nothing compared to how you will feel after just spending a few days together and suddenly being alone again.
15. Find a balance between rule number 13 and rule number 15.
16. Be honest. A LDR is hard enough without being able to share all of your feelings with the person closest to your heart.
17. Don’t be honest. How would you feel if he would tell you about what a great time he is having without you, not missing you or having doubts about whether he can keep up with this LDR? Exactly. Don’t do that to him either.
18. Find a balance between rule number 16 and rule number 17.
19. Allow yourself to feel sad or lonely. If those feelings are there then it would be unhealthy to suppress them.
20. Don’t allow yourself to feel sad or lonely. Once you go down that path it’s pretty much downhill from there.
21. Find a balance between rule number 19 and rule number 20.

Part 2 coming tommorow....

Nice site! I am also in a LDR but I won’t go into this subject because the distance is not the biggest problem in my case anyhow. (And a distance of 65 km. will probably only make you laugh..)

A site for everyone

Random sites

There's a site for everything and everyone these days. There's a site urging Lindsay Blowhan to eat and there is a site providing proof that Tom is really nuts (My favorite parts where the ones saying that if Tom marries Katie each of his wives will have been 11 years younger than the previous one and the part where they tell Tom wears braces and a reader asks if vitamines and exercise can't straighten out his teeth). Well, not as nuts as he will go when the people of the Free Katie site have their way. And president Bush gets his very own site as well.
To be expected in the near future: "Please don't let Paris wed in Westminster Abbey", "Dear Angelina why don't you just have babies with Brad?" and "Britney isn't fit to be a mother". And ofcourse I am still hoping for the "Help SillyCrazyMe raise money for an appartment" site ;-)

Live 8 good for more than just charity?

Apparently so. Bands who performed at one of the many concerts saw their record sales going up after the gig.
(Speaking about making money. did everyone see the Donation button above the shoutbox? :-D)

But lets just call that an unforseen side effect. And lets all sign the petition here or here or here. Or have a blast and sign them all (I know I did). I know the problems in Africa are way more complicated than the ones that can be solved by a big bag of money. I know, that as long as there are still bad regimes, inequality and badly organised institutes there will be children dying of hunger. But it's a step in the right direction isn't it? It's a positive motivation for everyone to try harder.

Sick and Tired

Random thoughts

I am sick and tired of having to wait for an appartment. I know, we haven't even been waiting that long when you compare it to some people who have been waiting for years and years already. But basically, we are either too young or too old, we don't have enough money, we have too much money, we're not registered long enough, we didn't apply in time. Yuk.

I really don't want to leave Romania, I don't. I love this country, I am crazy about it. But it's the only way to be with my boyfriend and right now, that's more important than anything else in the world. And as long as I have to leave this country, better make it soon so I can be with him.

But no appartment means no way to be together. And it is driving me nuts! I wish we somehow had the money to just rent one, not through the government, but on the free market. Or even buy one. I thought about robbing a bank. But the general opinion of the people around me is that it's not a very smart idea, eventhough it would probably solve my housing problem for a very long time, one way or another! :-)

So, how to make a lot of money in a short time? (I think we already established that the weblogging is not the way to go.) Did you people see this?
I think I will just steal their idea. It's about 2000 km from here to Holland. An average of 50 kilometers a day. So, I should be able to do it in 40 days. Lets add a few days for resting. Lets add 8. So, 48 days. That can be done right? I will walk from here to my boyfriend in Holland if I raise enough money with that to rent an appartment for at least 6 months or more or buy one. How about that?

I will bet you a beer that I can't even raise enough money to buy the curtains for my new appartment :-D

UPDATE: I was right, so far, there have been only two people who promised to sponsor me if I would actually do this and a total amount of 30 euro's.
UPDATE: 35 euro's so far. I am glad to say nobody came up with the idea yet to scrape this money together and make me put my words into action. :-D
Although I have to admit, I would actually be stupid enough to do it if I would get enough money for it :-)

I hope you will find a solution for your "housing" problem, i really do. I also hope that you will never be sorry for your choise with your boyfriend. Love is without warranty. Only advice that i can give you, old men is talking, if you make the choise of giving up Romania for your boyfriend, never look back and start a sentence with: "If I would have stayed in Romania". I think if you leave Romania, a part of you will stay there. I hope not that part that makes your boyfriend love you.

Let me be clear: I don't mind the belly. The belly looks nice, eventhough she shouldn't have to show use her belly this much. But hey, if it had just been the belly, I would not have had a problem. And there is definitly no rule against pregnant woman looking sexy. In fact, I think most pregnant woman look beautifull. But man, the awfull clothes that don't even match, those boots, the lack of a bra, the huge sunglasses and the exagerated display of her belly all together is more than I can take.

Leu greu

Random thoughts

As of last midnight, Romania has lost many of it's millionaires. Including myself. No, we didn't move or die (would I be writing this if I did?). We simply got a new currency.

Or actually, we still have the same currency. But due to the fact that the economy is doing so good and the Lei has become so strong (and partially to make a futher swith to the euro easier) the government has decided to cut a few zero's of our bank notes. Four (!) to be exact. Starting from today this new Leu greu as it is called (meaning heavy lei) will be in circulation.

Both the old and the new bank notes will be valid untill the end of the year after which the new lei will be the only valid one.

I know this is not only a good thing but also a very necessary one. All those zero's were getting quite confusing. A taxi ride to work will now be 7 lei instead of 70.000 and I can do my shoppings with 70 lei instead of 700.000.

But still, I will sure miss the feeling of opening my wallet and finding a one million bank note there. The feeling of being a millionaire. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted...

No, you're right about those zero's I think it will make the recalculating easier than switching from the guilder to the euro

puk schreef op 01-07-2005 10:22:

wow, that's a big change. It's strange to imagine that you have to pay with 70.000 for a taxiride.
I can not judge if this is a good thing as I am not in romenia, but I can still say that it was very hard for me to adjust to the EURO al the calculating.
But if they only cut a few zero's it easy to calculate isn't it.

This is very bullshit story what i'm telling. but my head is not very clear to make a good story, just typing and typing and typing...I will shut up now..
