My guess is that most women in here have gotten several more or less bizare letters. Most of which are pathetic attempt to convince us that the guy sending it is indeed so interesting that we're willing to throw caution to the wind and go for it!
However, the one I got today really made me laugh out loud. So I just thught I'd share it with you guys.
"I Just have to say, after viewing your profile. After spending 8 months in the Asia working, I now remember what I love about Asian women. What every you are doing keep doing it. From this side of the lens, you are just beautiful."
Had to answer the poor guy that I thought it a good idea if he then contacted an Asian girl 
I'm not even remotely close to looking Asian - no matter how you look at it. The haircolor? Maybe, but it's straight out of a bottle, so that really doesn't count for much.
Maybe I should have suggested a trip to the optician - because if he really thinks that I'm Asian he might need glasses!

And my new mantra is here to stay!
For a few weeks I've had the mantra: I deserve good things and good things will happen for me!
So far the result is:
1) the council finally decided to pay me housing benefits (around USD 400-500 a month)
2) I've gotten my collar and cuffs back along with my red paten boots - all of which I've pretty much given up on ever seeing again
3) I'm feeling my way to see if a chance meeting might lead to a new a very interesting friendship (for lack of a better word)
4) this place I'm currently at has asked if I'd like to help them out and thereby get some new qualifications as a job consultant
All in all I'd say the mantra is working and is here to stay!!!

Please help me out here because I don't get it. I really do not get why people play games with each other.
You know the kind of games I'm on about here. It's where you're not supposed to call/write him because you called/wrote him last. Or he's a bit aloof when you meet up with him, although he was all over you the last time you met. That kind of games!
I hate them, I'm no good at them, I don't understand why/how they're played, and lastly I never realize when it begins - I only suddenly discovers that I'm in the midst of it.
Although I'm crap at it my self doesn't mean that I don't try to give my friends advice when I realize that they've become a party in one of these games.
Latest I was out with a group of people. A friend of mine had been seeing one of the men attending the party. The whole evening he tried desperately to get her attention, but as soon as he did, he turned around and pretended like nothing. What? Either you're interested or you're not!
Every time she had her back to him, he would gaze at her, and move in her direction. As soon as she looked at him, he'd turn his back and either walk away or find someone to talk to, and try to ignore her. Asshat!
The next day her laptop fucked-up and he's her go-to guy on that front, so she sent him an sms. No answer. She managed to get it to work, logged on and saw that he was in a chatroom and judging from the conversation he'd been there a while.
Now she's a bit pissed and asks if he's ignoring her. Answer: Not really, but you didn't pay me enough attenion last night.
OK Batman here's the deal: If you're the one wanting to be discrete about a connection, you cannot expect the other person to show significant interest in you in front of the people you want to be discrete around!
This is just one out of a long list of tales with games being played in different ways. I just don't get it, and have to say that I want clear communication between people - only games played should be the ones involving some sort of fysical activity

Two "girls" on their hands and knees

Monday I had plans! After having spend part of the day here trying to find suitalble jobs to apply for I went to see a friend of mine.
First we did a spot of shopping for the essentials, and then we went back to her place, stripped down and put on something suitable, and then we spend the whole evening on our hands and knees - or rather we took turns.
After a few hours sleep we got up Tuesday morning, only to put on the out-fits again and continue where we left off the night before.
There were several approving glances and remarks from guys passing by the windows. Even a few from a couple of guys who got through the door.
All this has left me slightly sore in my legs and ass, my neck is hurting like hell, but it was all worth it! And tomorrow I even get to see the place again with everything more or less in place, after the two of us single handedly painted her new appartment!

Here's the deal: I realized a few days ago, that for quite some time now I've had the attitude of "if something good happens then don't be too happy because something bad will follow". And wouldn't you know it: It was true!
There's a lot of reasons why I could have perceived it as the ultimate truth. One being that shit just does happen at times, and when you look for it, it's easier to find. Another one could be, that as long as that's my out look it will be a self ful-filling proficy.
So a couple of days ago I decided that from now on my mantra will be: I deserve good things, and good things will come to me!
That's it! No more being weary of what might happen, or trying to see what can go wrong rather than enjoying what is.
The first really good thing I want to happen for me is that I get that dream job I've applied for! So that would be the ultimate test However, I can live with lesser results and I'm looking forward to see what this new attitude will bring me.
And when I start to doubt it: Back to the mirror and repeat mantra: I deserve good things and good things will come to me!

Last night as I'm chasing my to get ready for bed, he suddenly asks me: "What's important in a job?"
I try to explain to him that a number of things can be important in a job, but the main thing is that you're happy in your job (if at all possible - but that's for another discussion with him).
Then he says: "I think it's important to get challenges every day in your job. At least it would be for me!"
WOW! One very happy and very proud mother to an 8-year-old boy!!!
Obviously I had to agree with him on this, and told him that it was a great answer, but I also needed to know where it came from.
The wording of it I had no doubt about was from me, but what made him think of it. Turns out that on the second day in second grade he thought that the math was seriously unchallenging and he was borred in class.
I had to promisse him that I'd remind his teacher that he had said that they would get another book with a higher level of difficulty in it.
Still smiles when I think about it though

When unemployed here in Denmark they try to send you out to different things to keep you activated (and that way you don't appear as being unemployed on the statistics). In general the idea is good, and it's great to come out and meet others. However, it's not all of them that I'll be staying in touch with as soon as it's possible to get away from them.
Especially one of them rubs me the completely wrong way and I'm sure it's mutual! It took him a few days to figure it out, but my first impression can be summed up in the following words: Used car salesman! I know that there are decent ones but I'm thinking of the stereotype here the sleasy, untrustworthy kind.
Monday we were given the assignment to take a stance on 10 sentences. Once we had done it individually we should agree on one stance as a group. Obviously we ended in the same group.
I know that the basis to get to an agreement in a group is to compromise. However, if it's only two out of three that are willing to do that, it's not all that productive for the group as a whole.
When it's combined the the stance of "I talk louder than you and intererrupt you therefore I'm right" all kinds of teamwork is doomed!
So after we had several arguments, and failed to get to an agreement on about half of the sentences, he decided that I was a bitch and impossible to work with because I refuce to cave in and just let him have his way.
The following day he said to three others that he would go into antoher room but that they should call him when it was time for group work so he could come and put me in my place.
Wow - I had no idea that I could make a man feel that insecure! Because that really is the only reason I can find for that statement. OK there's also stupidity and I really do think that would be apt for him as well, but it's just nothing new.
I have said to all three who has mentioned this to me that he's more than welcome to try but the guy running this says that he neither wants war, or that I humiliate this guy.
My point is: Anybody who has the need to put other people in their place and especially talk about it are insecure and completely out of control, but desperately trying to get it back. Will it work with me? Not likely!

Over the last few weeks the leader of one of the parties here, has been taking up quite a bit of media time. The case is that her English husband has not been paying taxes here in Denmark. This has created a bit of a stir.
Then it turns out that they have told the tax-man that he's only in the country 33 weekends a year. However, they have told the justice department that he's here all 52 weekends so that he could be partial owner of their house.
She then goes into the debate saying that it's just a simple mistake that they have done in the information to the Justice department. After which they come back and say: they why did you confirm that it was the right information?
Now my take here is: Her and her husband has given the two different information deciding on what would benefit them the most. When forced to choose they took the option that would give them the best financial solution, but was called on it when they came back saying that the information had been confirmed. Wondering what will happen, but she's now got zero credibility with me.
Over the Summer we have had a few politicians who has been strongly participating in the debate on the school system here, and who has been strongly defending it. However, they have now opted to send their own in private school.
If you're a politician trying to argue that the school system available for free is more than adequate, then I really do not care what argument you use to put your in private school. Granted special needs would be a valid argument, but any other arguments just doesn't cut it with me - if they want to have any credibility left that is.
One of them tried to argue that it was unfair to discuss her , who after all was just a . But it's not the that was up for debate, it was her decision to put the in a private school when one of her main cases to "preach" about is how good the general school system is.
When she chooses to do that, I feel her message is: The current school system is more than adequate for the general public, but not for us.
These are obviously minor things in the greater picture, but to me it says a lot about their credibility, and what they're willing to do, and I realy do not want them in charge of the government here. However, there really aren't any that I can say taht I really want in that position...

1) It apparently comes as a surprise to some people that when they steal from an employer that they will not only get kicked out asap but that there's a chance that it'll have legal consequenses as well
2) Women and men read jobadds differently. Men will apply for a job, if they have one or two out of 10 qualifications mentioned, whereas women are hesitant to apply if they have 8. I need to learn how to read like a man in this case
3) When a boy has enough to tell, he is acutally capable of talking himself to sleep
4) I need to keep certain people out of my life as all they do is spread venom around them
5) That I'm not always as tollerant as I'd like to be. E.g. I do not want someone with a skindesease that makes their skin peel off to prepare food for me - or to touch my lunch! Actually if people are not preparing it, they better keep their hands off my food!

The 3 weeks are over!

Today's the day that the 3 weeks are over. Not FWB's vacation, but my sons! I get him back today after he's spent 3 weeks with his dad and bonus-mom and I seriuosly cannot concentrate on anything else.
Thought I was going to write a post about how I really should learn to get a few shots of people before agreeing to take pictures of them as there needs to be something about them that inspires me (read this as: Had a photoshoot this weekend with a VERY uninspirering "model").
Or about how great it was to see a number of the festival people again when we again this year turned up to sell beer at a concert for another non-profit organisation, and a few of the experiences we had there - but that will be another post.
Saturday I had most of today planned and thought that I would pick my up, go home and make his favorite dinner, and then either play PlayStaion or talk or both. However, I've decided that since favorite foods can change without warning, and I'm not sure what he'd like to do, I've now decided that I'll pick him up and then let him be part of the decisionmaking process.
Taking into consideration that dad and bonus-mom got married during the 3 weeks he's been with them, and that they have been on a couple of short trips I'm fairly sure that he'll be telling about his time with them till he's blue in the face, and I wouldn't want it any other way

I've just spend a couple of weeks working at the festival here and recovering from it. Not because I'd been drinking but because it's hard to work 12 days straight and on top of that trying to see as much of the festival as possible + sleep has to take up some time too...
Now FWB is off on 3 weeks holiday and I know that he'll be insanely bussy when he comes back, so my guess is that it'll be about 4-5 weeks before I see him again.
That sucks!!! Not only because it's been a while already, but also because I'd hoped that he would have a quite period from work while my is off with bonus-mom and his dad, so we could have had some quality time there, but alas not.
He's kindly allowed me free play while he's away as long as he gets a full report of what I get up to, but it's just not the same.
I'm fussy with whom I play with and it's taken me a while to find him, and nearest candidate to replace him in my oppinion right now is across quite a bit of water. So here we're not as much talking timing as distance but still...
Frustrated beyond belief right now, and hoping for a fast forward button or that I'll find someone usefull for the "job at hand" before long!

Over the last few days I've read a couple of places about things that was commented upon as being not unusual, and every time my first thought was: I bloody well hope it is!
First situation: At the festival we receive a resume from a meeting between police, doctors, the festival management, security, etc. In one of these it said: A man was omitted to hospital with a spontaneous eruption in the brain, but don't worry it's not unusual...
Second situation: A rollar coaster stops mid track and the people in it has to be evacuted via ladders. But not to worry it's not unusual...
Third situation: A man i stopped in a routine control and blows the alcho meter up to over 2. He says it's not unusual...

Although the festival was a huge success and it's over for now, there's still things that lingers.
Not only the good times had with the people I only see that one time a year, but also quite a few other things.
One concert in particular was great to see: Prince! He might be around 50, and nearly able to share clothes with my , but DAMN he put on a great show! If you haven't seen him and like the old songs - then do your self a favour and go see him! He pretty much owned the place from he uttered the words "Dearly beloved..."
As per usual the paying guests was inventive in several ways, and I'm just hoping that we're able to keep them out till we open the doors next year. On the picture it shows that a few of them didn't care how hot they were (let's face it most of us would not wear that outfit in 26 degrees Celcius), but decided that the theme is more important than comfort.
I'll miss it till we open the camping area again in 344 days...
