Bob Zygala sent me a LiveJournal nudge. Hello, Bob Zygala! I was quite surprised to find out my journal still exists, considering John F. Kennedy was still alive the last time I posted here. I guess that's one of the advantages of being a (former) paid member. |

Went out with a couple of friends tonight. After all the pubs were closed, we decided to have a snack at one of the fast food places that were still open. While I was eating my junk, I got to talk to a cool German chick. I swear to God, she had GOLDEN eyes, the most beautiful I have ever seen. After a while, I asked her if I could see her again, and if I could have her phone number. She seemed to be very keen on giving me her number, but after I entered it in my cell phone, she added "but please keep in mind that I already have a boyfriend". Why are all the interesting girls already taken? |

| So... sometime during the course of the next year I will not only be Martijn's best man, but now I have also been asked to be Coen's paranymph when he has to defend his thesis. Guess I need to get serious about working out, if I want to fit in that Armani suit I want to buy (should I be able to afford it). | ||

Went to Lars's birthday after work. Actually, it's the second time I went, because his 'official' birthday party was two weeks ago. You could tell he was tired, because usually he smiles to me when I visit (I guess I'm good with kids after all), but this time he was a little cautious and kept his distance. Or maybe he knew I didn't have a present with me. When I got home, there was a card from Lisenka (former girl-next-door, read post below) in the mail, thanking me for everything I have done in the past weeks. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. Did a bit of jogging with Clim and ended up being exhausted once again, but it's all for a good cause. As usual, it's way past midnight right now and I have to get up at 7:00 am tomorrow. |

My house mate left for a six-month internship in India yesterday... ...and I feel empty. We shared a kitchen, so we saw each other on an almost daily basis. We started doing things together more and more often: watch a movie, enjoy a glass of wine, go out, watch tv. It's probably not that hard to see where this is going: I noticed that I was beginning to like her. A lot. However, she had already told me once, shortly after we first met, that she was not looking to be romantically involved with anyone, due to her leaving for India. Nevertheless, I was under the impression that she might feel the same way about me as I did about her. During the Summer Festival, we looked each other up almost every day, and after a day of work, she often dropped by to blow off some steam. But then, because the day she would have to leave for her internship got closer, she became very busy and we didn't see each other as often anymore. I started having doubts; perhaps the feelings were not mutual. I decided to ask her out for dinner. That night, we had a great time together, and decided to do it again soon. However, I did not have the guts to tell her how I felt about her. Unfortunately she had to work in her home town for two weeks shortly afterwards, so again we didn't see or talk to each other much. When she came back, she had good news: they finally gave her a date on which she would leave for her internship, but that was in a week and a half already! She told me that chances were she had to cancel our next dinner. Indeed, several days later she did. Before she left, I wanted to spend at least one evening with her. I know her feelings of getting romantically involved, but I wanted to let her know the way I felt about her before she would be gone. Fortunately she managed to take a night off her busy schedule to hang out. Although I could sense she was a little tensed because she was leaving soon (and I was tensed as well because, well, you know why), we had good fun. Before we left the house, I had secretly left some presents in the kitchen. When we came back, she found them and unpacked them while we shared a glass of wine. Before we each went to our own bed, she wanted to give me a hug. I knew that if I wanted to make a move, it had to be now. She kissed me on my lips, and I tried kissing her again. She hesitated. She wasn't sure this was a good idea, because she didn't know what my feelings were. I told her how I felt about her, but she said she didn't share my feelings at this time. I asked her if it might be a good idea to see if the feelings would be any different once she was back from her internship, if the circumstances would allow it. Again, she hesitated, but still she said it would be better if we didn't. However, she did tell my I had become an important part of her life. Now she's gone, and I'm in doubt. I know she told me not to have hope, but I still cannot help thinking that she does, or did, have feelings for me, and that things could have ended differently if she wasn't leaving so soon. I want to try again when she is back, but I'm not sure if I should. Will I only get hurt again, and perhaps harm a good friendship? I don't know. I have six months to think about it, so I hope I can work it out. |

I went to Eindhoven last Saturday for the first of three tattooing sessions. The guy has been working almost non-stop for 3.5 hours and it's not even halfway done. My arm is wrapped in foil now and still sore, and I won't be able to swim or expose it to the sun for at least two weeks. Which is when my next appointment is due, and the whole circus starts all over. It's not like we have a lot of sun anyway. |

I think I've been listening to House of Sacred Remains on repeat for almost 30 minutes now. Yeah, update update. Sometime. Soon, perhaps. Probably not. I'm lazy. |

As promised, a small update on the date and stuff. I'm not able to elaborate much because I'm at work and my lunch break is almost over, and I won't post all the juicy details, because I don't want this entry to be 'adults only'. ;) A couple of weeks ago, I bumped into her on the stairway, and we talked for nearly two hours. At one point I asked her if she'd be interested in having dinner with me sometime, and to my surprise she said yes. I wasn't sure if I should consider it a date or just dinner with a friend, but I figured I could just as well try to make the best of it. I wanted to take her to a Chinese/Thai/Japanese restaurant I had been to before, but when I tried to make a reservation for the sushi bar, they told me they didn't serve Japanese food anymore! And they were the only Japanese restaurant in the area, too. Fortunately Thai food isn't bad either. During dinner we talked about anything and everything, from small talk to serious topics. On the way back home we stopped by at a local pub for a couple of drinks and more talking, and when we got home she invited me for a drink in her room. Needless to say, I gladly accepted. After a couple of hours, we decided it was about time to catch some sleep. It was almost 2am and we both had work the next day. Um, crap, how I can I best describe what happened next? You know how it goes: you're both standing in the doorway, you both don't want to say goodbye, you look into each other's eyes... Anyway, I didn't leave that night and we both didn't sleep much. It turned out to be a date after all. Right now, I guess we're in the dating stage. We're not a couple, but we're not single either, just... somewhere in between, I suppose. Since we have to share the same house, we want to take it easy, without rushing things. So far, I'm having a pretty good time. :) |

Dear LiveJournal, If a user only allows friends to comment on his or her journal, and I'm not listed as one, it would be very nice if you'd let me know before I type a message the length of a six page essay. For naught. Thank you kindly. |

I wanted to wait with updates until tomorrow, but I couldn't leave without a link to the wonderful Entertainment Media Analysis Reports of the ChildCare Action Project, a collection of Christian movie reviews "for parents and grandparents". My personal highlight: "Like we really need another movie presenting a school shooting. American History X presented this and the most foul word of the foul language 186 times, 97 uses of other three/four letter words, racial hatred, prison rape. murder, and sexual intercourse. And all in 114 minutes! That is what American History X was all about. Bad and vulgar language 149 times per hour!" One of the best movies ever made is dismissed as being about nothing but vulgar language. How short-sighted, hard-headed and ignorant can a person be? Also, The Prince of Egypt only received 85 points, because it contains scenes of the following:
To paraphrase a user on a Dutch forum I visit regularly: they're absolutely right to be so consequent. I'll e-mail them and ask them if the book on which this movie was based can also be removed from all bookstores. Sites like this remind me that Holland is not quite such a bad place after all. Not to mention the copious amounts of laughter they provide. |

At 9.45am today, after a smooth delivery, Lars was born. :D I went to see the proud parents tonight, and to have a look at their little newborn baby. He was happily asleep on his mother's belly, and he didn't even wake up when Coen took him to his own bed and tucked him in. Such a beautiful baby! Hopefully I can see them again this weekend. |
