Not much is going on...

Hi all!

So it appears that I only write every two months or so. Oh well, at least I am writing now!

Not much has happened, really. I go to work every weekday and all the weekends I mostly spend with friends. I only have three weeks left of my internship. Time is going so fast... Well it appears that I've really enjoyed my time there since it feels like I just started :-) I have to say that IT-support is something that I'd like to try again in the future. I know there aren't many positions for an IT-tech person like me in our city, but I hope I'll find something after I graduate! If I don't get employed within half a year or so I'll definitely do my masters in software engineering (if I get accepted in!). The future does feel a little scary but I'm sure that once I graduate and figure everything out it'll be just fine.

Le weekend

I agree that we've been drinking a lot lately but last weekend was so much fun! Me and my fiance went to see Deadpool on Friday and I must say that even though it was quite perverted I really enjoyed the film! I wasn't even that embarrassed to laugh out loud since some father and his two boys were cracking up all the time. And seriously I felt a bit ashamed for liking all the kinky jokes.

Afterwards we met up with some friends. We were supposed to see a band but one person in our group was being too loud and appeared more drunk than he was that we couldn't go in with him. So no band but we went to this small hipster-like bar that was quiet and we could properly talk. After a while I got this crazy idea that I want to go dancing so to a club dancing we go... And I got so tipsy drinking gin and tonic and whatnot. Saturday was terrible but after sleeping a little I was fine by the evening. One of my friends from Friday called and we went for drinks again. This time I couldn't drink that much but gave up an hour before closing time. Maybe that's for the best because apparently one of my friends almost got into a fight with some other guys. I don't like fights, I think they're scary :'-/

So yeah, a lot of drinking. We even drink during the weeks but not 'til we're drunk. I think it's been a bit excessive recently and I wish to cut back on the alcohol. But it's so darn fun to sit and chat in our favourite pub!

What else I've been up to?

Surprise surprise, I've been gaming. This time I'm addicted to a game called 'Stardew Valley'. Seriously it's the best game of the year so far. The concept is pretty basic... A relative of yours has left you a farm that you're supposed to tend to once you get tired of city life. So in the beginning your character has had enough of everything and moves to the village Stardew Valley. You plant veggies and fruit, collect stuff, fish and fight monsters in the mines. On top of that you can build relationships with the villagers by doing quests for them or giving gifts. You can even get married and have kids! My character is trying to woo a lonely man called Elliott who is a writer and lives alone in a beach cabin. And he enjoys the beer I give him so that's something!

 

Anyways I'll try to write more often but it's difficult since not much is happening!

A small catch up

Hello all!

It's been a while since I wrote an entry. A lot has been going on and by lot I mean LOT! I won't go into so much detail but I must say that it's been a very stressful time for me. A year ago I would've had a complete mental break down in this situation but I think I'm a bit stronger now. 

Anyways, the things that I can write about here on the Internet involves renovation in our bathroom and my internship that begun last week! The reason why I've been so stressed out is trying to work out when we can go to the toilet or take a shower. Since we have no toilet or shower we're using the sauna facilities downstairs. It's so frustrating to wake up in the middle of the night, realizing you have to pee and then proceed into the cold stairway. On top of that we have sauna shifts on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, which means that we're not able to use the toilet for six hours or so in the evening. We've managed to book our own sauna shifts every once in a while but when you gotta go you GOTTA GO. So in such scenario I've ran to my father's place who lives 200 meters from here. Thankfully it should be all over soon, since this is the third week.

What I'm most excited about is my internship even though I was super stressed out because of it at first. But now after two weeks I've come to notice how much I like doing what I do. So basically I just help teachers with their computer and tech problems, install hardware and so on. Sometimes the days can be a bit quiet like today, but soon I should start a project that could well turn out to be my thesis subject! I'm so happy to actually advance in my studies and hopefully this year I'll graduate!

Games!

 I've also done some gaming since obviously I bought some new games from the Steam Winter Sales... But not much because I've been a bit occupied by watching "Gossip Girl", embarrassingly so. Even so I was madly excited about Fallout 4 before it was released but had no actual money to buy the game when it came out. All my friends have already played it but hey, I got it on Christmas! It was a gift from dad and I also got a new display card to support my new, awesome games... and yet the game still keeps crashing so there's a problem with my pc's memory (which I got from my uncle) or the processor. So I haven't played much since having the game crash is really frustrating. Oh well, I could play some today after a little break and let Rami watch Netflix instead (feeling so sorry for him for listening to my rants about Gossip Girl)

So I wasn't that creative when creating my character to Fallout 4 but that's her right in the beginning of the game. She has bright red hair on a bun and her face is covered in freckles and a scar. Plus, her eyes have black circles from sleepless nights in the Commonwealth. Her ultimate goal is to find her son and avenge her husband's death no matter what it takes. 

Alright! I won't promise to be more active since nothing exciting's happening right now but when it does, I'll be sure to write about it. 'Til then, thanks and enjoy your rest of the week!

I really want to write something...

But there's not much to write about!

Actually I have been ill for the past week and all I've done is play The Sims 3 or watch tv-series. Netflix has been in much use in our household and I watch Friends whenever I'm feeling bored. When it was on-going I was never that interested in Friends despite the pressure from some of my friends. I did watch it, not much though and to be honest I never thought it was funny. Now I have an entirely different perspective and I think the series is quite entertaining. I have just started season 2 and if I'm not entirely wrong I have over 200 episodes to go. Phew, that's gonna take me years!

I've had some shifts at the grocery store and I must say that I haven't been this well off during my adult years. I have some spare money which helps me sleep at night (figuratively, really I don't sleep much) because if something were to happen I know I'd be able to pay for the costs. Or would I? Anyways I haven't had this much money in a long time and I think it's a good time to start saving. First of all I have to save a bit to be able to pay back my student loan once I graduate. I still have a long way to go but once I start working I don't think it's gonna be a problem.

On top of that I was able to get a new internship at our local university. I'm going in one of their many offices as a PC support kind of person. All I know is that it's going to be more about customer service than technical stuff, even though there's going to be some of that as well. That was actually my personal wish. So far all my part-time jobs have been about customer service so why not further practice my skills in the field? I'm really excited but at the same time I'm terrified! Well, I was terrified the last time as well but it'll get easier after I meet the staff and get to know the place. Anyways, wish me luck!

 Johan Falk

Are you a fan of Swedish crime? If you are, you better look up Johan Falk. It has a total of 20 films starting from 1999, but the first one I saw was produced in 2009. According to Wikipedia that's supposed to be the fourth film. I borrowed 12 films from my father and so far we've watched two of them. All I can say is that I'm hooked! The themes are somewhat dark and violent but there is some humour as well. The story is basically about this police officer Johan Falk who is transferred from Europol to a Swedish police group GSI (Gruppen för Särkskilda Insatser) with unconventional ways of handling things. In the first film we are also introduced to a young lad involved in a dangerous gang but it is not clear whether he's a bad guy or not... I won't tell anything else since that would be spoiling already! Since it's Friday night I'm really looking forward to continuing the film series.

 

A bit of this and that

Hey all!

This time I'm going to write about this and that. Nothing much has been going around really. I work two to three times a week and on my free time I try to spend time with friends and hobbies. Also I'm looking for places where to do my internship. Seriously I could be so close to graduating if not for the internship... It also appears that I'm missing a single credit after I get everything else done so I was thinking about taking a language course of some sort. Preferably Japanese or French, or Russian.

  

Starbound!

So this is a game that I played very enthusiastically a couple years back. In fact me and my brother and a couple friends of his were waiting for its release and the second it came out we started downloading and installing! It's still in development so it's getting updates every once in a while, but I think it's in very good shape right now. On top of that it's very pretty to look at and I think the creatures you're fighting in the game are very cute... For instance some of the creatures aren't hostile at all and tend to be super cute and sometimes I kill one by accident and wail in agony for doing so... Silly me. Anyways I played for 15 hours or so after almost a two year break and well, it started to get very boring quickly. I'm looking forward to playing co-op with my brother though, perhaps that's more fun.

 Tuuttimörkö!

 

Even though I had to work on Sunday, we went to see a gig at a local bar. When I listened to Tuuttimörkö at home I wasn't sure if I'd like their music, but live they were amazing. I really had a great time and even though we were supposed to leave afterwards we stayed for a few drinks to chat with out friends. Even though I didn't have much to drink I was pretty tired at work... But definitely worth it!

 Something I wasn't gonna share but here goes...

I am so sick and tired of a friend couple that I'm slowly starting to lose my mind. I've tried to be helpful and supportive but I don't think that anything I say or do is going to work. This mess has been going on for as long as I've known them, which is almost three years so I don't think there's any point to going to the start of their problems. But anyways, their marriage is a mess. The husband is a complete mad man and my friend is too kind and blinded by her love that she won't leave him. He beats her, abuses her verbally and cheats on her. The reason why I'm so fucking pissed is that he straight on told me that he wants to have sex with other women and after telling me that he went on trying to hit on me. And the bastard really thought I'd rather have sex with a disgusting, filthy animal rather than my own loving fiance? Fucking swine. Fucking idiot, piece of shit. And my friend just laughs and says, oh, I don't know what to do with him. What you do is you leave his good for nothing ass as you've tried to do gazillion times before. Nothing's gonna change, he isn't gonna change so what's the point? Oh, the last time she was going to leave him he "changed" for a couple of weeks and returned to normal right afterwards. Even though their relationship has got nothing to do with me they've somehow dragged me right in the middle of it and I don't like it one bit. And now my friend has slowly started to drag other people into their problems. Jeez I am just so mad. Well I already told my friend I don't want to have anything to do with her husband so that's surely gonna complicate things a bit between us all.

Sorry for opening up like that but I just had to get it off my chest. I don't give a damn at this point who reads this since everybody involved already knows about their goddamn problems. Fuckity fuck.

Anyways, to lighten up the mood enjoy this cute picture of a piggy from an anime I recently started watching.
