Must-do list


These past few weeks my blogging has been too light on politics, but you must understand that I am a damsel who thought she was in distress. However, things always seem to work out. I keep forgetting that. I am in a right pickle, but things will be fine.

Saturday the 1st of July will be a fun-filled day. I will:
- try to hand in keys, hoping that the University accommodation office opens at 7 am
- probably be lazy and leave the keys in flat, which might get me into trouble later on
- 8. 20 board train to Newcastle

- arrive in Toon at 10.30
- find flat in unknown neighbourhood called Heaton
- 12.00:, view flat

- have a coffee and think about seen flat
- find a street called Pink Lane
- 14.00: view flat in Pink Lane
- decide which flat is better, because I'm not leaving Toon without a decision on flat
- sign contract on found good flat (the latter one, which I already know I want)

- leave Newcastle for Sheffield and then Cardiff at 15.10
- travel against the clock, pray that trains are not running late

- Successfully change trains in Sheffield, praying that the train to Cardiff IS a bit late
- 21.00 hopefully arrive in Cardiff and find a place to stay unless it is too late for that

- frantically phone friends in Cardiff who will not be home when I really need them
- sleep rough at Airport, unless I miss the last bus there
which would mean possibly sleep rough on rough Cardiff street and possibly get into trouble
On Sunday the 2nd of July I will:
- be alive enough to get the bus to Cardiff Airport
- hang around airport and wait for flight to Schiphol, Amsterdam

- pay distortionate amount of money for bad coffee
- board flight to Schiphol at 1 pm

- be hungry on plane as they no-longer serve proper food
- pay 5 euros for a crappy sandwich on plane
- hang around Schiphol for four hours before connection to Helsinki

- pay distortionate amounts of money for food and coffee
- sample perfumes in shops
- board plane to Helsinki at 19.00, smelling of nice perfumes (all 100 of them)
- feel sleepy but too jittery for a nap after all that coffee
- cause asthma attack to person sitting next to me, because of all that perfume

- get to Helsinki at midnight on Sunday
- still be too jittery for sleep although exhausted
Phew.

And as a result of these fun-packed days, I'll miss the England game...:(

Do you have a vacant room in Sheffield U.K for a week? I NEED IT!!

I've managed to get myself in a right pickle - my contract runs out on Saturday and I have nowhere to go! It turns out I can't renew my contract, and I have to move out. In some ways that's not even the worst part: I own slightly too much stuff, and I need to get up to Newcastle on Saturday to view this flat but have nowhere to leave my things, and have no place to come back to. I've almost decided to take this flat up there, but it's not vacant until 9.7... I am officially homeless. Without fixed address. A tramp with too much stuff to fit into a shopping trolley. I'm unbelievably stressed out right now.

IF you have a room/shed/sofa I could borrow for a week I'd be eternally grateful. Payment in money or cooking/cleaning. Leave your helpful messages below. Regards,

I would've been a Nazi Swine
Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 50% antitolerant, and 19% blindly patriotic
Sie sind ein Schwein! You would've lived a quiet and consenting civilian life in Germany, while the Nazis stomped all over people you didn't quite care about.

You would never have directly joined the Nazis, basically because (1) you're not so nationalistic, (2) you're not that susceptible to crazy propaganda, and (3) you probably don't have the bloodlust. But you would've appreciated the Party, because you liked how they cleaned out the [insert race you dislike here].

The fact is, you demonstrate too much attachment to and pride of your own kind, be they white & male & straight or whatever. You absolutely would not have stood up to the Germans.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would NOT have STOOD UP to the Nazis. Sorry

The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLD)

shmolorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.

Your exact female opposite:
The Dirty Little Secret

Deliberate Gentle Sex Master
The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.


"You're never truly single as long as you have yourself."

ALWAYS AVOID: The Bachelor (DGSM)

CONSIDER: The Vapor Trail (RBLM).
