Ode to a lost friend

Saturday I lost a friend that has been there for me when other and former friends failed; when I was having fun at parties, when I was bored...

This friend wasn't exceptionally pretty, rich or slender. Actually this friend was pretty broken by the end...

Yes I am talking about the cell phone I have had for 5 years! Despite being old and chipped off and covered with Disney stickers and I think it was 5 Disney and Hello Kitty danglers it was my phone, my beloved phone that until Saturday has been working like it should! No it wasn't a smart phone, no it wasn't pretty and once in a while the alarm didn't go off in the morning because the back of it had shifted so no sound came through... but it has always been one of my closest 'friends' through everything that happened the last few years and most importantly it's my life line to esp. one great friend who lives across the country... and No I can't afford another the way things are right now.

You really notice how much a cell phone means to your life, and mine couldn't even go online or use apps! But today I found I couldn't pretend not to care by looking at some old message, I couldn't jot something down in the calendar and I couldn't share a funny moment with a friend before it's now passed and I have no idea what it was all about... and I had no idea what time it was, hadn't it been for my MP3 player!

How did people live 10 years ago?? Its a great mystery to me!

Changing my cell phone the last time, 5 years ago wasn't difficult for me because well I only used it to check the time and ask or answer the question 'what are you doing'... or my mum texting to ask me if I would do her a favor before she got home... But this phone has been there through so much stuff and it feels so special...

I'm back!

Hello there Darlings!

I can't believe it's been months since my last blog entry! What on earth happened to time?

So now I'm on the dole, spending 2 hours 4 days a week at some silly program that has me practically staring at a computer screen visiting my favorite forums and doing nothing! Nothing but wasting my time that is...

I've realized I'm better off pursuing another career than hotel receptionist so secretary will be my next go! Since Denmark elected a new government (things are yet to be settled by the politicians) they promised us hopeless young people they'd start working on giving us a lot more placements so I hope my vote was worth it!

Being unemployed really isn't my game. I have a lot of sympathy for other people who are, even those who pretends to like it. You see this is making me feel worthless eventhough I really couldn't do more than I already am unlike some people but it's all about luck.

The diet didn't really work out for me, but now I've agreed with myself that as soon as I have moved out of my mum's place I'll start it! You see I'm a comfort eater and with my current situation you can imagine!

But I'm gonna stop typing now, you see my aunt had her shoulder operated on and needed me to do a 'bit' of gardening for her yesterday... by a bit I mean an all day backbreaking lot of gardening and my body is still sore and so are the blisters on the inside of my poor hand! But anything for fam'ly eh? and of course she gave me dinner and handed me a tip for a winter coat... I actually don't have a winter coat; the closest is a long, gothic woolen coat that despite being an atrocious size won't close in the chest because I was dumb enough to order it in UniSex... Yay looking forward to freezing to death this winter!

A Sweet Day!

Hello There!

Even if it's raining cats and dogs I must say as long as it says summer on the calendar I swear it is summer and I will not settle for winter foods or beverages no matter how cold it gets, even inside!

Lately I have been experimenting with frozen pudding because to me Frozen foods and beverages is what summer is all about! I'll be the first to admit that the heat doesn't really agree with me... 

So ice cream can get very expensive and making it on your own even if I own an ice cream making machine is a hassle I finally found the answer! I don't know how you feel but to me pudding on a hot summer day is just not compatible for me, it seems sticky, too sweet and just yucky... but freezing them perfects them for summer!

Personally I prefer frozen pudding when it is just barely frozen which takes between 2 and 3 hours in the freezer, if you take it out after 2 hours the center is still liquid and I love that! wait another hour and though the center is not liquid the consistency is amazing, it's silky smooth! after that the pudding gets harder but you can solve that by keeping it outside or pouring lukewarm water over the still sealed cup! 

What makes this even better is that its a cheap way to make your own 'ice cream' Okay granted its not the same taste or consistency but on my tight tight budget this is perfect for me!

After my frozen pudding adventure (yes I had it for lunch...) I had to wait a few hours for my mother to come home from her job and even if we've been fighting for a week because of some dumb misunderstanding and hurt egos she brought home cake... Guess who's tripping on sugar?? I know this is atrocious to say but I didn't even feel like having the cake so my dog Micky was in luck and he didn't mind it one bit! However the cake was of course a peace offering and I took it so I'm back to doing chores at home and she is not yelling at me anymore... if only world peace was that easy!! 

So Tomorrow is going to be sugar free, I am planing on a wellness day; I'm going for a full DIY Facial that I will give tips on tomorrow... and a healthy diet too...

Today My Life Could Change Forever...

Hello there!

Today I spent calling various hotels and while I didn't have much luck at finding one that had any practical training windows open as of now I actually had fun... Did you know most of them have the same female voice greeting you? and often she says exactly the same thing, in just the voice you'd expect when you call a place like the Hilton... Then after a while you finally get hold of your hopefully future collegues and you almost forget what to ask and you can't even pronounce Receptionist... I should have known, NEVER start a career you can't pronounce! Anyway some hotels did seem to want me, so lets see about that!

You know how some people say that today is the first day in the rest of your life? That was literally how I felt when I woke up... but it only takes so many 'Oh I'm sorry we just hired someone' or 'You wanna talk to a Receptionist?? I don't understand you' No, Duh, I want to BE a Receptionist... Anyways Tomorrow when I have a clear brain I'll update my Resumé and I'm gonna get myself one of them jobs...

I don't want pity but I actually only have enough money to pay next months rent and that's it, my account is officially empty so, yeah... Why didn't anyone tell me it'd be so tough getting started with this? I should get lipo suction and start on becomming a Flight Attendant right away... Oh no wait... I can't afford lipo suction either...

On the bright side I uploaded 2 pictures of my cats to icanhascheezburger.com and I'm anticipating them to turn up soon!

Oh, and the library has FREE MOVIES! so a Phantom Lady can always take care of her primal needs, right?

Now all I need is to find some lace so I can try out a new nail art design and possibly blog about that!
