| Friendship~ |
|
I've been wondering about friendship yesterday. One of my friends from University told me yesterday over msn I was her best friend. I had no idea whatsoever she considered me as her best friend. And she didn't say "one of my best friends" but just best friend. I felt bad because I never felt she was a really close friend. We didn't go to the same university. She was studying Law, I was studying Languages and Int'l Trade stuff. We met because her cousin was in the same section as me (only she was in Chinese section while I was in Indonesian). Of course, we were in the same circle of friends, you know, going out, having fun all together... When her cousin went to China for a semester, I moved in with her as a replacement (actually, she graciously put me up for few months). We didn't spend much time together then as she had a boyfriend in the very same building. I used to be pretty much alone. Then I moved out at the end of the year and I left for the US and I pretty much lost contact with all of them, people from the circle of friends. When I got back from the US, I settled in Geneva and didn't get to see my friends a lot. I just paid them a little visit then back home I was. Since I go to Saintes for Christmas, I always try to see them all but it's not easy and I feel I have to make the effort if I really want to see them. So I really felt they were more buddies than friends. So of course, yesterday's declaration made me feel terrible. I did not catch that fact. I am so insensible? Then I wondered... Do MY best friends consider me as their best friend or is it just another one way thing? I had the chance to come across Patti the very same evening (msn still - my friends are all over except here) and I think I o_O her out with my first question. But she told me I was her bestest of friend so I felt relieved. But what about my other best friends? Not that I have so many but still... Am I misinterpreting things? I'm still wondering...

| Nostalgia~ |
I was posting in this random forum when I came across the "Post a pic/info of the first handheld/tabletop you owned" thread. Out of boredom, I opened one of the boxes I brought back from my grandparents the last time I went there. I knew I used to have this relic somewhere but I would never have thought I would find it in the very first box I opened.  What a coincidence... So here it is... The Q&Q Tarzan game!   Mine.  Random Internet pic of working device. I'm sure mine still works somehow... Just need battery.

| Why Are You Still Single~ |
|
That's the question I'm getting over and over again. Why are you still single? Do you need a reason for being single after a certain age? Why do these people expect I will tell them? I'm too ugly to get a boyfriend? I'v been hurt really badly and cannot stand to have a man again? I have mental issues? I have nothing to tell them. Just... My mom was a terrible exemple of the happy-couple thing. Period. That and I must be picky. And I lack patience. I'm just bad with relationships.

| Bush de Noël~ |
|
A nice lady from Belgium told me tonight she will be offering me some Bush de Noël in a week. Yeah, I know, at first it's really o_O WTF but once you know Belgium is the beer country and they always come up with weird names... you're not even surprised. In fact, the "Bush" here is pronounced like the French word "bûche" (timber?) and the so called "bûche de noël" is a cake which has the shape and aspect of a trunk. Pun? Don't know. But it sure is funny.  You didn't really expect I was going to talk about politics now, did you?

| Fabulous~ |
|
I've been looking for a black tie all over these past couple weeks. Nothing fancy. Just a basic regular black tie. I could not find any. Not even in the fanciest places - although I wouldn't spend too much money on a black tie anyway. My manager #2 (the one I get along with) then asked me why I didn't ask to our tie factory in Germany. Duh! I'm running all over Geneva for a bloody black tie and I don't even think of asking the source of all European Polo ties. What was I thinking? So today, I dropped an email to my contact in the factory asking him if there was by any chance an old black tie no one would care for laying around... I told him of course I was willing to pay for it. An hour later, I received his replay. The tie must now be on its way, f.o.c. Gotta love doing my job! I hope we're gonna get another leather agenda from our leather goods licencee this year. Arh! I love Christmas!

| Sprained Knee… Again~ |
|
I sprained my knee again tonight during ninjutsu class. It's the third time I sprain a knee. This time, it's the right one. It used to be the left one. It saves me from surgery. Yay. Still… another six weeks tied up. I cannot express how I feel exactly. There's mixed feelings. I was supposed to go to Belgium this weekend. Now, I don't know what to do anymore. I'll be a burden if I go and I'll regret it if I don't. I just don't want to impose myself on people who will want nothing but to have fun. Life is miserable tonight. I feel like crawling in a cave and stay there for the whole duration of the healing. I felt good as long as there were people around me. My brother, Danny Boy, Carla and Tiffany stayed the whole time with me. They were really supportive and they made me laugh the whole time. Now that I'm alone at my place, I'm crying a river. My brother will have to come each evening to give me a shot of whatever medicine I need to prevent nasty blood coalition in my leg. I don't think it's a big deal for him but I feel terrible I cannot do it myself and save him the trip to my place every day. Anyway, I need to write an email to my managers and my boss. I'm sure they will be delighted to hear the news. It's not really the best time. Life's a b1tch.

| Crying~ |
|
I don't know if it's the medicines or the fact that I'm bored to death but I've been crying a lot these past hours. Each time I receive a nice email or someone tells me something nice and caring -bam- cry, cry, cry... It's like the amount of tears for 2005 have been waiting to be used and now it's escaping each time it has the slightest reason. Weird. Can't stop it. Hopefully at some point, it will dry up.

| IRM~ |
The doc called me yesterday morning to tell me I needed an IRM before I come back to the hospital on Monday. Now I'm scared shitless they're going to see deeper what's wrong in my knee and decide to do surgery. I would hate surgery. I'm not even capable of giving myself a shot, I still have flash backs of the way my knee twisted itself so in the wrong way (make me wanna puke), I cannot have surgery! I'm too sensible to pain.  Here here we go again... Cry, cry, cry. That needs to stop! On another hand, my mom came back from her trip to France. She came straight to see me and kind of complained I haven't told her. I sent an email to my entire family, her included. I wasn't going to call everyone when the slightest reason makes me cry a river. And I just did that the day before. It wasn't like I haven't told her for a whole week. Jeez! This morning, she called me. She basically told me she told my step dad SHE would be driving me for my IRM. WTF? Don't I have a word to say here? My step dad is not working on Monday, she is. Is it a big deal if he drive me there? It's not a popularity contest of a fight for territory. Arh! OK... need to find some food I don't have to cook. Currently feeling: really down |

| Here I Am, Home~ |
|
... when I should be partying in Belgium. I hope they'll bring me back lots of pictures. On the bright side, Felicia came to visit me this evening with sushis and Asahi beer. We watched Gozilla Vs. King Ghidorah which was really funny in its kitcshiness. Now, we are watching Star Academy prime time which is one of these stupid show filled with singers wannabe who can't sing right.

| Mom And Feng Shui~ |
|
My mom came to my place the other day and gave me the Feng Shui speech. I told her I did not care at all for Feng Shui and she could leave my place as is. Well, obviously, it didn't reach her. When I went to the bathroom (and God knows it's a big deal to move around with the sprained knee and crutches) the door was closed . When I opened it, I saw the toilet sit cover was down. What do I care for the 'shi' to get away when I need to pee and have already so much pain to move around? Can't she understand things like this? Sprained knee or not, I do not care for Feng Shui, period.

| Christmas Touch~ |
Feels like Christmas makes its way back again.  I like Christmas time. It means family, laughters and happiness. Well, at least for me when I'm not stuck at work. Heh. What do people around the globe usually do for Christmas? I try to be with my family. This year, I'm going to France to be with my family on my mother's side. Uncles, aunts, cousins and their children. Fun, fun! Here's an amazing thing I came across on CP.com (thanks Hsoolien for sharing) :
