Oh right.. my blog :)

Hi !
Yes I’m still alive! I don’t really know what to blog exactly, because life has been good. Ofcourse it’s never all good, but I can deal with that. Everybody has to deal with that I guess. Work has been fine, mostly kinda busy, sometimes a little slow. My education is going pretty well, it’s really working. I think I’m getting smarter or at least more educated. This is proven by the fact that I need glasses.. Apparently my left eye was created first as a try-out and didn’t turn out to be exactly perfect, my right-eye however is kinda perfect So I’ve ordered my first pair of glasses ever. I think I’ve tried every pair of glasses in my hometown and only one doesn’t make me look like a complete dork, maybe just 10-20% dorkier than I usually am. That’s acceptable I figured, so I ordered it.

Other than that, I don’t really have anything to tell.
Maybe later

Love,
Soosh

Not so much

Soosh — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:59:37 +0000

I’m not sure how to describe the way I feel.. I have been running around like crazy for last couple of months, yelling ‘I’m fine!’ Well maybe I’m not as fine as I’d hoped. I’m trying like hell to keep positive and happy, but it’s hard.
Here I am, all alone. And if there’s one thing I really, truly, absolutely suck at, it’s being alone. Of course I hang out with friends and do fun stuff, but the fun stuff just isn’t.. fun. So I’m running around, just so I don’t have to sit my ass down and reflect. And for the time being I will continue to yell how freakin’ fine I am, so hopefully in a while it will be true again.

Love,
Soosh

Dear person..

I don’t know who you are, I don’t know why you keep calling, I don’t know why you hang up the phone the second I pick up. What I do know is that my phone-company will try to help me find you, so maybe, just once, we can have an actual conversation.

Talk to you soon!

Greetz,

The Break-up

Soosh — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 21:01:05 +0000

I don’t really know what to blog. After 7,5 years, I’m single. It’s all so very weird, Bram told me he loved me and then said he wanted to move to Curacao. I’ve been there, done that and burned the T-shirt, so I said; ‘Well, you know I’m not coming with you.’ And that was about it. There really is no in between.

So now I’m living with this guy I love and who loves me, but we no longer have a relationship. He will be leaving for Curacao pretty soon and I’ll stay behind. The house we live in now is to expensive for me, so I’m trying to find something I can afford in Hilversum.

Well, that’s about it. I’m sad and wishing things were different, but they’re not and we both made our choices. So now I have to look at the future (with some fear, i admit) and see what I am going to make of it.
Wish me luck!

Love,
Soosh

P.S. Happy Newyear!!

Moving

Soosh — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:32:25 +0000

So this weekend I was helping some friends who are moving. We rented a boedelbak which is a kind of trailer. I wasn’t really awake yet and since I was mostly there for the driving part I wasn’t really paying attention and let my friends hook the trailer to my car.

When we started driving I said; ‘Oh, I think we should have put the license plate on the trailer.’ But I didn’t really feel like pulling over and besides, what are the odds that you run in some police officers who will actually notice? Unfortunately for me, we were gonna find out REALLY soon.

We passed some police officers on scooters and I said: ‘Oh, crap, I’m not wearing my seat belt.. oh well, we’ve already passed them.’ When I passed a corner and saw the police officers on their scooters passing me and stopping a little ahead, I was suspecting I might have a problem. Of course they stopped me, asked me for my drivers license, pointed out that I was not wearing my seat belt and asked me if I had a license plate for the trailer. I put the license plate on the trailer immediately, showed the officers my drivers license and was about as apologetic as I could be about the seat belt.

They pointed out that the trailer was not perfectly connected to the car (which would be ticket 3) and they wanted to check if I was allowed to drive with this specific trailer with my drivers license (which could have been ticket 4).

When the trailer was connected perfectly to the car and they cleared me for driving with this specific trailer, they told me that they would just give me warnings (on all 3 accounts) and told me to wear my seat belt.

Pfew.. close one. I am almost considering making a habit out of wearing my seat belt

Work and stuff

Soosh — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:27:58 +0000

So, I kinda made a mess of things. I quit my job since I was pretty darn bored and I accepted a new job. The new job was at a bank and I just didn’t feel like it was the greatest idea in the world to go work at a bank during the credit crunch the whole world seems to be in.

The result; here I am being unemployed and all But fortunately I don’t have to worry to much just yet, since I’ve got a job interview tomorrow. Hopefully the interview will go well and the job will be a more challenging than my old job, at least for a while. I guess I will find out tomorrow and/or somewhere this week how this is going to play out and with I, I mean we

New Leaf

Soosh — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:40:07 +0000

I’ve been back home for about a year now. My blog has been quiet ever since. Too many people to see, too many places to go and too much stuff to do. Now, in a way life has calmed down and everything went back to normal. However, normal doesn’t mean uneventful.

When I returned to Holland, I got myself a job like so many other jobs. The kind of dead-end job, that makes you wonder if you’re ever going to reach the age where you can retire. This job is like most of the jobs I’ve had, about as challenging as watching paint dry. I think I can do a whole lot more, but somehow employers are not exactly standing in line to give me any opportunities. So I’ve decided to get myself educated, so at least employers will not decide I’m a dumb ass after glancing at my resume.

I’m also trying to change jobs, because this one is just taking the life out of me. I’m having a bore-out here and it makes me lazy, uninterested and uninteresting. So I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf! Now all I have to do is to figure out where I want to be in life and the quickest way to get there.

Wish me luck

Love,
Soosh

P.S. Blogging in English is a lot harder when you’re no longer speaking English all the time, so I apologize for any errors I might have made.

Silence.. (I kill you!)

It’s been quiet here for a while. Call it a bloggers’ block, a writer’s block or living your life. But I guess I’m back. The last couple of months in a couple of sentences:
Bram’s back, has been for 3 months now. I’ve had my very first operation (appendectomy), which was kinda scary. I’ve found a job, lost a job and found a job again. I bought a car, it broke down (more than once), I ditched the car and got another car. And very recently I bought the camera I wanted for some time now; a Canon Eos 450D, a very cool and shiny digital SLR camera.
So as you can see, I’m doing pretty good. I love my car, it’s a Volkswagen Vento 1.9 TD. After driving a crappy junkyard-ready Volkswagen Golf, this was a BIG improvement in every way possible. My job is not the coolest or the most interesting in the world, but my co-workers all are extremely crazy and that makes me feel right at home
The appendectomy was not as much fun. Nobody ever told me that you don’t have to die of pain when you have appendicitis, so I walked around with it for about 3 days, before I had the bright idea to go find a doctor. Ofcourse, Bram didn’t help by saying: ‘Ah, it’s probably nothing, you’ll be fine.’ Eventually I was fine, but if I waited a little longer, I might have been a lot less fine. One thing I can say for certain: having 3 extra holes in your belly is not something I recommend to do for fun.
Then there is the good news of the cool gadget I bought myself. I will talk about that later and also include some pics I’ve made with the thing. For now, I have to get back to my extremely demanding job *yawn*.

Love,
Soosh
