First Online Journal
I think I was curious about it all. I heard a lot about LJ but couldn't make up my mind. Thus, I saw you need a code from another used to access the thing. I guess this place is easier to get in. We'll see if I can bother posting in my journal everyday or... on a regulas basis.

Let's explore !
Fist day was fun !
So I went through few things around here... I also made a friend (hi granny !) and changed few things. I started a gallery, just for the heck of it.

I'm having much trouble with some forum moderation. So I'm too pissed to say anything nice right now.
Do I seem too addicted ?
As I said, I was having much trouble with forum moderation. I happen to be a moderator in some boards and one of them is a airsoft board, full of guys who like to play war games. I know what you can think... War, bla bla bla, but it's not the point. Everyone on the board is nice and civilized. Well, almost all of them. There's always one of them to think he's smarter.

I have a lot of free time these days so I got to spent a lot of hour on boards and this precise one too. Of course, I was the first moderator to see what was wrong and to take mesures each time this person bouble posted or cloned a thread. Well, he created problems of course. He thinks my first goal in life to presure him ! Anyway... My genious self expected something like this to happen with this person so I made sure every other mods on the board new what was going on with him on a daily basis. So today he attacked me (as I expected) and all the other mods defended me. They're so sweet. At the end, everything went smooth again. We're a really great team.

On the 17th all mods on this board are supposed to have dinner in Lausanne. I think our main concern will be of course our dear friend Mr Troublemaker. I'll also get to see Pearl again, who I haven't seen since the DMZ this summer.




Pearl


And on the 18th, we'll have this huge housewarming party at my friends', Shini and Felicia. Sweet, sweet !
Fatest Post Ever
Yup, that's right... I think I may have commited the heaviest post I've ever posted on any of the message boards I use to go to. And it happenend to be on my own message board, Stardust and guess what ? It was my 1000th post. Talk about coincindances. (thing is, it's in French so I guess none of you will understand, I'm sorry guys)

That is all. G'nite folks !


Tagboard Thinggie Not Working
Hum... Probably I do something wrong. Can't seem to make it work. Who said I was a comp genious anyway ? Someone help me out, please !

I have nothing to do today. How sad ! I need to find myself an occupation. But I can think of nothing which is not realted to my comp (update website, create more wallpapers, email my friends, etc.). OH ! Yeah, I could snail mail some of them ! Maybe I'll do that.

Today, my brother had a very very good news (regarding money) so I might have the same good new in about few hours. This is about time since my grandma died more than a year ago now. Greedy people !

I miss someone today. He's not around and time seems different.

LOTR ~ John Howe
I've been to Gruyères today. There's an exhidit of John Howe's art. Something like 120 different illustrations made between 1989 and 2002 of Tolkien's universe. Sounds pretty interesting, hu ? Well, unfortunatly we couldn't get into the castle where was held the exhibit since the artist was there along with a huge f@#ing crowd.

So instead, we went shopping. :p

Very nice day after all.






Shopping day ?
I'm still wondering if I should go shopping today or not. Thing is I don't lack money for now but I'm afraid of spending it all in one day (not that it could be possible). I'm an impulsive buyer. Too bad !

I need to save up some money to support my airsoft futur debut. AEG aren't very cheap.



Wanna mess with me ?


So, hum, yeah. I think it's shopping time !
DVD-holic I am...
I went shopping. At first I wanted to buy clothes for my probable job interviews. I ended up buying DVDs. Again.

I bought the collector of Scream (the 3 movies), two English/Japanese movies (can't translate the name to English) and Master of Diguise (sp?).

Still... I'm gonna have to go back tomorrow I guess.

Tomorrow I also need to fill the unemployment grey paper with hypothetic job I've been looking for these pas few days. What a joke. But since it's the law... I'll took the morning to try to find a job. Like it's so easy when you don't have experience...
Job Hunting~
I spend half my day browsing big companies' web sites to find myself an alibi to put on my grey unemployment paper. I need to fill it with job I applied to and why and what was the answer. I know many people write down fake applications just to fill it up. But I can't. I wouldn't feel all right with it.
Everywhere I've been visiting... they weren't looking. And to apply for a graduate job, you need major motivation and a nice diploma that goes with it. I have a French Deug in languages (English and Indonesian with international trade orientation) but thing is, I'm living in Switzerland now. I probably should go back to studies but I don't live with my mom anymore and I need to support myself. And since I didn't work more than 12 months in Switzerland yet, I'm not eligible for unemployment or formation wellfare. Talk about options I have...
It's... I'm totally hopeless.
Anyway, I have an appointment with the unemployment agency peeps on 24th, they are supposed to help me through all this and help me find the right job for me. But my problem is also that I don't want any stupid/boring job. I want challenge. Graah !

I didn't went shopping. Good for me. I used to spend every cent I own as soon as I had it. Maybe having too much money for a change will make the ballence. I need savings anyway if I want to be able to go back to Japan in fall 2004.

Ha ha, my mom's talking to me over ICQ. "Blah blah osthéopathe blah blah réflexologue blah blah massages blah blah..." I wonder why she needs all this parallel medication stuff... But who knows what I'll be up to when I reach 45.
But she's nice. She's worried cause I can't find a job and she's trying to cheer me up. Feels good to have a mom sometimes. Even if I don't get along that good with her.
Fitness or not Fitness~
So I have this project of begining airsoft soon. Thing is I need to train my knee first. I sprained it 2 times already and next time, I'll be on a hospital getting knee surgery. So I have to be careful. Yet airsoft is a very physical sport and I know I'll be taking risks. I just want to be prepared and so... Fitness seems to be a good deal to rebuilt some muscles around me knee.

Now... Am I ready to pay 1'000.- CHF for a full year of torturing myself ? I know I can since I did it already before I had to leave for the US. But I'm 2 years behind with my trainning and I know the begining will be a pain in the a$$. But I'm decided ! Even more if I'm going horse back trecking with ma DOOD in spring.

Life's good. Have a happy day, my friends ! *hugz you all*
Party, Party, Party~
Friday eve was fun. Like... really fun ! I'll tell you more later.
Friday : Dinner~
That's right. So all moderators of one of the boards I'm moderating were meeting in Lausanne on friday night. We had a fondue (lausannoise I think it was) with 15 different meat and 15 different fish and 20 different sauce (even vodka and cognac sauce )... Excellent meal. People were great as well. A very funny bunch we were !

I was happy to see Yellow Leader and Pearl again. It's been since the DMZ2 (Demilitary Zone, airsoft big gathering in France) in July I hadn't seen them. I'll see Yellow again tonight at the housewarming party. The others were nice and funny. Reserved for some. But the whole evening was great fun.

As I thought, we didn't even talked about moderation as we wanted to at the begining. We vainly tried several times but we couldn't keep it serious. Moderation issues was a great pretext to gather and have fun !

After dinner we went to this bar Taco's Bar. The name sounds ridicoulous but the place was great. More like a cowboy bar with rockabilly rock band playing. Fun, fun ! I think Shark, Tzieber and Swissknife didn't get the fact that the Doge they know is actually my brother. Doge was yelling to Yellow stupid things like "you only want to kiss my sister again" and Shark was asking for picture of his sister as well as Swissknife's sis pic. LOL I was right beside him. Arh arh arh... I don't think they got it still. We were trying to loose them saying Pearl was my long last sister and Yellow my cousin...

I drank the most. Shame. I just can't hold it. But I behaved. So it's allright. I'll be drinking tonight too. I hope I won't end up kissing everydoby again.
Saturday : Party~
Tonight wasn't as good as I expected. But I admit it wasn't an easy situation. Think about it. Housewarming ! So he invites his friends, she invites her friends and most of them are colleagues from her job. Two groups who know each other well in their own group but don't know anyone of the other group. A huge main room with almost no seats.

And I wasn't proposed any Smirnoff Black Ice.

Anyway... It was still very nice to get to see Nolween again and talk to her. I found out there were a lot of parties organized each w-e for lesbians so I think I should tell Motoko to move her a$$ down here faster and eariler.

I'll prolly go shopping in Lausanne with Felicia next saturday. Pucca, HK and co. Groovy, baby !

There's this guy on msn... He's trying to argue about politic. I hate politic. And I especially hate French politic. Even more since last presidential elections. It was such a joke. Anyway, he's that kinda guy that thinks he has full knowledge of things and wants to show it off. I'm not really impressed. Just horribly annoyed. Thus he keeps mixing things like "telling the truth or not" with "the truth about Irak". Couldn't see what point he was trying to make.

I'd better go to bed before I virtually stick my Hello Kitty keyboard down his throat.
What makes me get up on the morning ?~
I don't know. Technically, the guilt ot staying in bed late when I know I should be looking for a job every single minute of the day.

More deeply... Nothing. I wish I had my own place. I wish I had more real friends around me. I wish I had more happy-happy feelings like I used to. I wish I had a car to escape from time to time. I wish someone would love me inconditionally. I wish I had real talents. I wish I had more courage.
New desktop~

My curent desktop. I'm not into this movie especially. I just love horses.

 

Creativity... not~
I made this new sig today for all the boards I'm posting at. I had to change since I was supposed to respect rules at one of them where I'm a mod. ~bugger...




I had no inspiration. I almost ended up with a pink one. Eww ! So since I had some Pirates of the Carabean pics, I thought I might use them. I'm not too disapointed.

Today was highly non-productive. Well, exept for Love_Tropican who showed the way to this crazy Mark guy.
What's wrong ?
Ok, now that I know there's some artistic people around here, I need opinions. I made this some time ago and I think there's definitly something wrong with her arm or shoulder or whatever. Can't put the finger on it, though. So it's still unfinished to me. Please, any advice ?




Unemployment Meeting Thinggie~
I have to go tomorrow morning. 8:30. How cruel ! I won't sleep before 4:00 am as usual and will be like a dead coyote on the morning.

The whole point of the meeting is : inform you on what to do when you're looking for a job, what kind of job should you look for, what kind of money you can ask for, how do you do all of this and if you will of not get paid for being unemployed. OK, just kiding... But I have no real experience, no clear formation and I won't have any money from them in the meantime. So, what the point ?
I'll go anyway cause I have to. I'll go freez my butt at 7:00 am on my glorious scooter trying to find this unknown street before T time. That will be fun. With no luck, they'll let me go sometime around noon. And I'll starve to death all morning.

What ? I'm pessimistic ? No way !
My Life Is So Boring~
I'm not used to this actually. ^^ My life was never boring till last year. Now I'm like... hibernating. I'm waiting impatiently for the waking time.

This past year, each time I made a friend, it was never someone close to me (geographically). They are all in various cities all around but no one in Geneva. Well, no one I'm really close to. I'd like to just call up a friend to go to the movie or pub or... Arh.

I miss my friends !

Toughness Of Life~
I just found out today about someone's disability. I touches me beyound what I would expect. Makes me sad and so proud at the same time. Melts my heart. Hard to explain.

I had quite a sad life myself. I guess we all have our demons. For some it's physical, for others it's moral. Either way, it hurts all the same.

Sometime I wonder... If I had the choice to go back in time and change my life, would I ? I'm not sure. I'm strong, calm and thoughtful (well, most of the time)... I'm logical, smart (we all are in some way)... And my load of life experience allowed me to help a fair number of people.
Would my life being different make me someone different as well ? Would it be alright ? I don't want to be different. Maybe I'll change one or two things that happened and didn't have to. Just because I think it did more damage than good to me.

What if... Two really poweful words. What if...
Going To Paris~
I'm going to see some friends. I just bought the ticket this morning, I'm leaving in about 2 hours for the week-end. Bamn, excitation is growing now !

I need to take pictures.


Everyone, you just have a smashing week-end !
