Not as planned

I planned to tell you guys about my new work on last Tuesday.. I didn't have much to tell, so it's been waiting for a better time. I've worked for four days now and I'm quite liking the work. It's a small family company with four people plus me. I work as a secretary, taking care of the paper work in the office. Quite different from the office work I've done before. I get payed twice a month and can't complain about the pay-check. :) First I'll have a two month trial period, we'll see the situation again after that.

Midsummer festivals passed by as well. I stayed at my dads place and took it easy. On Friday I was visiting my aunt, father's sister. We grilled with quite a bunch of people and I drove people home afterwards. My aunt had made some necklaces and bracelets and gave me one of both. The necklace was perfect with my dress. Absolutely love the combination!!

On Saturday we grilled at dads, my brother came with his family to visit and the sun was shining and everything was pretty awesome. Nephew seemed happy as usual and he got a t-shirt made by his aunt (me!!!), once again. He was smacking his mouth when he saw those grilled steaks and ate with good appetite. After eating he wanted grand dad to play some keyboard with him, so I made the coffee while they were making some, ehh, sweet music.. :D After they went back home, we watched the movie Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law... A bit disappointed..

Sunday I visited my mum and got some strawberry-cream cake with coffee. After that it was time to get back home. Had good luck with me, a friend drove by with her car when I was walking to the bus stop and so I got a ride home. Watched a movie from my computer before heading to bed and today it was back to work.

Busy week ahead..

Monday warrior

So, I got the job. Starting tomorrow morning half past 8. More about the job tomorrow.

Job interview on Monday.

Me vs. Me

And so was the weekend gone again and we need to face Monday again. I had a pretty, ehhmmm.. interesting..?? weekend. Occasionally I was feeling like I was in the middle of a war zone when disputing with me, myself and I. My friends in high school used to think that I have two personalities in me, they even named those personalities. Linda was the more serious, a bit sad and gloomy personality. The lively, happy personality with sparks in her eyes was known as Alanis. That's because at that time I looked a lot like her, Alanis Morissette, I mean.

 Well, anyway.. about my weekend. Friday was pretty much perfect. As I told I went to a gig to listen that troubadour, friend of mine. Had a blast!! Laughed so much again. And as I got home, I was still feeling happy, couldn't stop smiling. Fell asleep with a smile on my face. Then came Saturday morning... I was feeling totally down.. I was feeling only-lonely.. feeling antisocial.. yet craving for some TLC.. I was almost like a coma patient, sitting in front of my computer just staring blankly to the screen, not able to act.. The KIP-picnic.. I didn't go. I just couldn't get that much out of me, I spent most of the day with my morning gown on.. I had been also invited to a party on Saturday. I fought with myself all day long.. to go, not to go, to go, not to go... I desided to skip it. And then he called. Around 9 pm my phone rang and there was my friend, my voice with a smile, asking if I'm coming or not.. I told that I was feeling antisocial.. He said it's all fine, I'll come visit him some other time. After the call I fought myself again, ten minutes perhaps.. I desided to go after all.. I called him back when I was leaving from my courtyard. Said that I was coming. He said I was welcome.

I arrived there after 20-30 minutes of biking. Inside was about ten-fifteen people. Spent about three hours there with those people, emptied my wine bottle, slowly climbed up from the black hole I created.. left with the same door opening with last guests. Biking home in the pouring rain. I didn't mind, I was feeling fine. Rain is our thing, inside joke in which he calls up a rain everytime I'm on my way home after spending time with him.. I was soaking wet from the rain and sweat when I got home. Took a warm shower and went to bed.

Sunday was one of those in-between days.. not feeling really happy or sad.. just spending time, not feeling anything special. Worked a bit with Photoshop, ate well and watched TV. Went to bed quite late and woke up even later this Monday morning.. I had my morning tea listening Foo Fighters from Spotify. Feeling pretty mellow, a bit melancholic, sort of happy-sad, if you know what I mean.. Waiting for what the day brings..

Time flies by..

The weeks seem to pass so quickly. I feel like it just was Saturday and I was spending some quality time with my nephew and now it's already Friday.. Where did the time go, did I do anything useful.. I guess not, spent time in the sun, spent time next to computer.. Well, yes I visited two happenings on Wednesday. Haven had open doors, bands playing and such. And I was also present in ArcDia product launch. That's the company where I was practising (and designing the visual look of their marketing material). And now it's Friday. Not just any Friday, my younger brother John (also known as krIItikern or Jompiz) has a birthday today. He's turning 21. Hugs and kisses to him, miss him so much. But as the situation is that he lives in a different country, I guess I'll have celebrate his birthday without him. So today I'm going once again to a gig.. not a surprise?!? Five minute walk and I get to see the troubadour I've mentioned earlier a couple of times. Many of my friends are disappointing me when not showing up there tonight but it's their loss.. besides after not coming to a local gig they don't have any reason to complain during fall/winter the lack of gigs. I refuse to listen them do that.

And today my nephew also got tubes into his ears.. poor baby has had ear infections since December.. hopefully this helps for good. Brave little fellow, auntie Linda sends some extra love to your direction!!! <3

Did I by the way already mention that I was in the promo shoot with TDT.. some idiot (It wasn't me?!?) forgot to turn off the date from the camera.. so now I have about 170 pictures that need a touch of photoshop.. cool.. Not!

Tomorrow we'll have the KIP-picnic(Knit In Public).. it looks like it's going to be rainy so the picnic will be moved indoors into a cafe. And my dear friend is having a party tomorrow as well.. so busy busy busy.

VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

Go put some stars for the song!!

Thanks, The Dagger Thanks

Awesome day yesterday!!! I got to see the promo shoot of TDT and I  can assure you that I had a blast before and during. Laughing my ass off two days in a row, my stomache and cheeks are sore because of all the laughing.. Love those guys!! I was also behind the camera, taking photos of the whole situation, of guys preparing for the shoot and fun stuff like that. Over 200 photos with my little pocket camera in two-three hours. There was almost everything you can imagine around a rockstar: red velvet, golden pillows, finest cognac and champagne, money, poker chips, bling bling and ofcourse those not-at-all-bad-looking rockstars themselves. Not bad I say.

But now, back to normal. Holmes has travelled away again and I need to prepare myself for the next event, weekend with quality time with my nephew. :)
