I’m still looking at German – I got two ‘Learn German’ type things. It says it goes up to B1.
But I was just looking at Finnish and Swedish because I’d like to pick them up. But I get the feeling I’m only smart enough to stick with English really. Although I’m finding it easier than at school but most adult language learning seems to shy away from lets learn verbs and grammar first that’s what turns people off sort of. 2 months ago

I have no idea how many exams you have – so. It certainly sounds awkward and a difficult situation for you to be in with extra work and the pressure of it being only once a year.
Sorry about bringing it up I didn’t mean to remind you of anything negative.
There’s no real advice I can give on this. So do what you think is right and it will work out.
Good luck. 2 months ago

I know this is very very late; and you’ve most likely posted what happened. I’ll have missed it. So…
What happened? 2 months ago

This week I will mostly be…
Tidying and cleaning my room
Changing the bedding
Looking at what to give away
Applying for jobs (I get very nervous so always put it off – like thinking I’m just wasting the time of the person on the other end. Or I’d get an interview and they’d see I’m an idiot. Or get the job and then fail in role)
Just watching some Rachel Khoo
As well as some kiteboarding.
I need to lose a lot of weight. I was doing okay before going to the gym and all that stuff.
Going to try and think: Is it truthful? Is it necessary? Is it kind? before I do things.

Okay today I’ve done none of the things I said I would so the form is unfilled, the jobs unapplied, the room messy. Nothing done about learning but I did watch some Finnish and Swedish videos so one of each. I’ll have to do this more too. 2 months ago

I was just having a look for what I had to provide and stuff like that, and it turns out I may have already done it.
I’m actually filling out the form now and then I just need to get my boss to sign it and I think that’s it done.
Fingers crossed I’ll send it off and this really will be all done.
And my life will actually be no different that before.So winner :P 2 months ago

Oh yea I’d put the panda up I think and you requested the self portrait.
To be fair that’s a pretty accurate summing up of me. I do try to make everyone happy and it does feel like I’m missing out on adventure. 2 months ago

I can’t flirt with T she left me.
Who knows if anything will happen with J. 2 months ago

So my ICAS thing now says competent.
So I’ve done this now.
It’s being fully qualified (with the work experience) and then what’s next. Which really depends on me applying for jobs and in turn getting it; although that’s a different story. 2 months ago

no problemo, and yea sean is clearly the coolest most dude like name ever :P 2 months ago

Really?
I don’t remember setting myself up to meet anyone else on here.
So what happened? You’d have to be in country as well.
Would you say sean was a manly name? 2 months ago

I do indeed have a gentle soul with a scholarly element.
You’re right there.
I do in turn enjoy libraries (I used to work in them and hang and hang around in them) and yep stay at school and work after hours.
And to be fair I was just out drinking with some ladies from work and they all mentioned how well I get on with ladies so you may be quite close even before. But I don’t fancy them so never really thought about it.

I love that the positive bits are so short in comparison :P 2 months ago

A litterbox for emu’s would be rather large I think it’d deter most animals and most keepers :P 2 months ago

Taking a journey may indeed lead you to your destination. 2 months ago

Boom good thinking on all counts. 2 months ago

Maybe the best way but its a personal thing 2 months ago

In some ways. In most of the ways its the same just warmer and quieter to be honest.
All in all.
It’s almost like living alone sort of. 2 months ago

Good work – don’t ever change. Letting anyone else dilute what you want and what you do will only end in failure. 2 months ago

lol sometimes – I just have the wonder of always knowing when I am and then feeling bad which is awkward 2 months ago

For a change I’m writing this before giving any cheers, reading any comments or anything like that.
And to preface this I have been drinking with ‘the girls’.
So at work there is a girl I like called J and today she said hi to me and in a very childish girlie way I was suddenly oh she said hi Mr. J Mr. J. (I’m not sure if that will work in text) then later on she may have looked at me but I tend to read too much into things.
But there was her and I liked her as soon as I saw her before I met T. But now that I don’t work down on that side I never speak to them. So I don’t know.

But I’ve just been out drinking with the girls. One of the ladies is going off as she’s pregnant so we went out for drinks then she went home with her husband and me and the other ladies just kept drinking. So good times. But yea I need to speak with J so see if it’s just a hello type thing and theres a lady S who has started who is cute but between the two it’s J really. I didn’t know she was in today so it took me by surprise. And today has been dumb as our system was down and then they turned the phones off (didn’t tell me) so all day we had nothing to do.
But J all the way :P

Remember all my titles and pictures mean something especially if I don’t have them 2 months ago

Make sure you don’t change your writing (not that I think you would) but stick to what you want. 2 months ago

Just with T going essentially, sounds dumb but yea. Not that moving home gives me the support that you’d think. 2 months ago

That’s normally how it works for me so I’ve done it twice with this already but clearly the ‘hurt’ or whatever is still there.
But you’re right I need to be active and stuff. Being in Berlin was good being away from it all and just everything being different.
I want a change now just never been that good at doing it :P 2 months ago

Hmm that’s interesting – not true but.
I do like women; not in a sleazy way, but I honestly don’t have any friends especially not female friends, lol even the chance to be friendzoned would be nice :P
The music is sort of true but its not pretend I do like lots of different types. But there is an element of picking something to be different.
The student stuff maybe people say I’m smart but I’m not.
Porn lol I don’t have any porn sorry.

Don’t worry really the avatar is meant to show the person although I do remember changing it and someone saying they wanted this pic back. It was really interesting 2 months ago

Emus are weird looking I’d much rather have my kitty cat rather than a big emu that’s true 2 months ago

basically very close to be fair, I wouldn’t say I was creative and yea shy but not to the point of autism. 2 months ago

Hmmm I’m not too sure where you got that image from probably too much Mills and Boon :P 2 months ago
