Thought I'd never say this, but I kinda miss going to school :v:
I start a TAFE course on Monday, which I think is like a college. I don't know the equivalent other countries have.
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;47085386]School with like 5 people in the class. That'd be pretty cool. :v:[/QUOTE]
My school gets like 7 people at best in class.
It's been just me and 4 other people for two months. I think last week there was only me in class one day.

Haparanda is pretty far from where I live, about 1000km. I should travel around in both Laplands sometime in my life and photo stuff.
EDIT: Russian lapland also which is the Murmansk Oblast.

Lapland? No wonder you got so much snow. Jesus.
I wish I lived in Lapland. A nice cottage in the woods with quiet, forest animals, with snow all around, and nice fireplace to keep it warm during the eternal winter ;v
Last year, from 22 people in my class, only 10 passed it. The majority got forced to participate to go to a IT class, which explains that most of us left.

We were in a IT-class with network engineering, programming, electrical engineering and other IT related stuff. I was glad that some were gone, because 2 of them that I had were just plain assholes.

On a side note, It's a shame the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is so shitty (along with the book) when the original soundtrack for that movie had quite a lot of brand new singles from fantastic artists. The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding, Skylar Grey, and Sia were all contracted to write/record songs for it.
At work today I personally got a "thank you for your fantastic work while the CTO has been on vacation this week, you're a star, and I really appreciate everything you've done." from the CEO/President and it made me feel so good, especially when I've been working quite a lot of "overtime" when I'm salary.
I got a warning from work because one of the deposits I did 2 weeks ago didn't add up. We have some slack and +-5$ doesn't matter. I did a deposit of 5.19 extra....
Like to avoid the warning I should've pocketed the money ???

[QUOTE=bitches;47089904]I've known walmart management to be forced into constant 12 hour days, equating to minimum wage hourly.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I've heard of that too. I'm not sure of the tone of my post but I love my job and I don't mind working overtime when it's necessary, especially with as well as I'm paid. It just makes your employees feel really good when you complement their work or give them deserved praise.
Weird night for me. Went out to my usual Friday night haunt until midnight, and went home. About 1:00-1:30 I got a message from a nice guy who I met at a club a few months before. A friend of a friend. He was saying he was 'surprised' I wasn't at the club. Which is weird considering I had been to this club a total of 3 times in the past year. He seemed interested in me coming along, and I was quite liking the idea of seeing him as well. At this point in the conversation I was aware myself that this was the closest I had ever come to romantic involvement with another human being. I went along to the club he was at, and met him and out mutual friends. At about 2:30.
Leaving the club we were hanging around waiting for people and he was asking questions like "So, we can head to your place?" and naturally I was weird about this. He asked for a kiss and I said honestly that I had never kissed anybody in my life so that was weird to me, so I extended a hug instead.
This whole exchange might have been maybe really uncomfortable to him, because maybe I seemed really avoidant and scared. I was trying to convince him I wasn't weird about it, because honestly I was flattered, but he seemed like he really wanted to leave. Eventually he just flat out ran off. Didn't even catch up with our mutual friends; just ran home.
So yeah. I'm feeling kind of bad. Maybe he was expecting more, since I actually got out of bed to join him at this club, but got disappointed and embarrassed when I actually came along with no intentions and then turned him down. I can understand it, and I can see how I might have lead him on in some way? I'm feeling pretty bad about that. But it is literally the first time when I have ever talked to someone in real life with any sexual/romantic undertone behind it. So it's an experience for me. But still unsettling, because I feel like I hurt someone.
It's kind of like an experience passed by my mundane life like comets shooting past a planet and lighting up the sky. But with more emotional confusion. It feels like something good happened, and then went wrong. Like an origami crane, crumpled up and thrown away.
So it's been an interesting night.
Sometimes I feel like I'll never forge a strong emotional connection with someone in a romantic relationship. It's never happened. I've had like one crush in my whole life, and that was just an infatuation with an image of myself, constructed from that person. Not really relating to them personally. I worry that I'll never be able to connect with anybody. Connecting with people is difficult. I hope I'm not alone forever. I hope there is a way for me to connect with people, and that I'm not just like, born without the equipment necessary. I hope it's something that can be acquired. But lately I feel like I was just born without the ability, and I'll never be able to have a romantic connection to someone.

Not everyone is gifted with the ability to just effortlessly connect with someone; however, it is a skill that can be learned. The biggest it to just find someone that you can effectively communicate with, everything else will follow pretty easy. Just give it some time.
Met a guy 2 weeks ago, he's really sweet. <3

Don't worry about hurting his feelings. For me it sounds like he just wanted a hook up and went 'fuck it' when he noticed that you weren't that easy.
It's only natural that this situation feels weird for you since you said you are not used to it. It gets better over time.
Trust me, my first romantic experiences were waaaay more awful and embarassing than this.

Yeah, that's what I hoped it wasn't at the time, but now I've slept it off, it's not so big a deal. I guess it'll be an awkward memory though. In the case of feelings, which was the main issue, I could say he def hurt mine more than I could ever hurt his, so I'm not going to concern myself about that. Feels silly even thinking about it that way.

After a bit more rest, I've wiped away a bit more of my self delusion about this. Before I went out to meet the guy, when we were talking on Facebook, I was pretty aware of his intentions, but deluded myself into ignoring that information, because I wanted to go out anyway. So I did lead him on. He made his intentions clear, and I didn't. I think that's the most basic definition of leading someone on there is, but at least it wasn't malicious. It was just unwise. Lesson learned. Experience has been drained of all moral potential, and is now resigned to the past. Moving on.

Hola everyone. I have been staying in Spain with a cool guy for basically the last little bit of my trip. I learned many things including how great beer is. Which is terrible because me from two months ago would be quite annoyed with me now. I also learned that I am extraordinarily incapable of dealing with crisis situations, peremanent change etc, specifically detrimental ones. Well. I can maintain a calm demeanour inside and out but wow it´s a massive lie to myself. The amount of subconscious stress I can put myself under is absolutely insane. Gah. Ok basically I convinced myself that something terrible and permanent had happened and my life would change forever and was saying how it was ok and life still goes on etc but then I learned that what I thought had happened was wrong and everything was back to normal. When I found out the tension release was insane. It was like I had won the lottery. That feeling was later, not only embarrasing (I basically squealed with happiness), but scary.
Anyway. Beer is amazing here. It´s cheaper than soft drinks. So I am being money smart by drinking it. Ça va? jajajaja I like Spanish keyboards.
¿que?
Amazing.
I like writing long Facepunch posts it is my way to feel like I am special and pretend people care.
I got instagram so I am also a rating whore now. Instagram is insanely addictive.
I bought ice cream and a cactus. Agave. My friend studied botany so he says it is agave. The internet concurs.
I also bought beer. I bought six litres of beer for like $10AUD or 7€/USD
and a cactus. She is called frog.
This is amazing. I get drunk ridiculously fast. Not that I am now.
