Different Life

A lot has happened after my last entry. As I didn't tell everything that had happened last months I didn't write I won't do it this time either. I'll focus on the most important.

Work. This summer I'll have two jobs: one at the cityhall and another at a kindof a shelter home for the mentally handicapped. I've already been at the former and it was amazing. I was calculating people's wages (adding a few zeroes here and there) and doing all kind of paperwork. I got really excited and I thought for a while it could be my profession. Then I remembered I'll never be anything and got over it. Now I'm at the shelter facility thing and it's been amazing as well. I have to bike 12,3km to get there, every day, and another 12,3km to get back home. It's truly tiring and I usually fall into a coma when I get home. Funny thing: the first day it was raining and I had to be in the rain for 30 mins. When I got there I was pretty pissed off so to say, since I didn't even know anything about the job. I had stressed about it the past months, since the guy who interviewed me told me he'd call me the next week and he never did. Nevertheless after a few hours of pouting I noticed how wonderful all the customers were and I fell in love with them immediately (after getting over a few stereotypical fears and doubts). They all have their personalities and it's just delightful to see them work together and socialize! It isn't that much different from what "normal" people do and they are not really different from us. They just perceive everything differently and have some handicaps. But the spirit remains the same. Today there was this cheerful moment after a singing performance. I won't get into details since I can't remember how much my contract binds me, perhaps I've already broken it! Please don't link this to my employer.
I stopped by the city hall job today to pick up my taxcard. It was a happy time seeing all the coworkers again. Kinda made me wish I was still working there and they all said they'd have some work for me again! Copying my taxcard made me melancholic since me and the printer-machine had so many lovely moments.

Nothing special happens in my life since work takes all the time I have. Like I said, I usually just comatize myself when I get home. I've been playing Super Mario Bros Wii, used the cannon on the first level to get to the 5th, since I've played levels 1, 2 and 3 with my brothers. It's a really weird game, cause it's boring, annoying and frustrating, yet you still get some kind of joy from playing it. At one point I kept getting killed by the same frigging bomb but after 20 wasted lives I finally got through that level! It was a miraculous feeling. Perhaps that's the feeling people like playing to. Success after failure, feeling like they've grown, evolved.
Now that I start thinking about it, the goal of all games is to succeed in some way, but how it is achieved is completely different. If we compare Farmville (which I talked about last entry) and SMBW, we can see the difference. In FV it's about patience and investing time (and money). In the latter it's all about having patience, yes, but also about seeing yourself develop technically; you can beat harder worlds, get all the trickily places big coins and find all the secrets. In FV the active time spent doesn't really matter since the crop grows in a certain time; on Mario games you can play it all in just a matter of hours, if you're good at it, that is.

Most of you are more or less yawning after reading that. I also realized how little gamer friends I have. How many of you have even played Mario? Beat a whole game that you bought? If I'm wrong, it means I don't even know my friends. I dunno which one would be the better option.

A friend of mine, let's call her Bitch, in the future referred to as B, wanted me to talk about her. She's cool, she really is. One of those people who do what they want when they want without thinking what others think.
She's going for a trip that'll take a year. I know I'll miss her in some way, but at least we'll have Skype and Facebook to talk to each other. I promised to go visit her but I'll have to see how that works out since my future is pretty much not figured out. At all. I love her taste in music: whatever you think a B would listen to, she does. Britney, Gaga... I'm sure she listens to much more good music as well, those two just come to mind. She's been stressing out recently which isn't nothing like her. I've been kinda ignoring it, why, I have no idea. Maybe I'm just too tired to really think about anything seriously. I would just joke about it which wouldn't help at all! If and when she reads this I want her to know I do care I just don't have the time to think about it! Better? I'm sure everything will be alright. You know how American are about other people entering their sacred land.

On other friend news, one of them has gotten to study what she wanted! I was so glad to hear that. She's been studying something a bit different this year so it's good she gets to fulfill her dreams. She'll have to move to a city far far away from mine so I'll miss her. We'll be in much less contact then than now. Somehow we just didn't feel like seeing that often, even though it would've been easy. Busses are just too expensive and my time has always been limited to being a computernerd and an asshole. Nothing I can do about it.

Apparently I need to mention that I've already started to plan my birthday months ahead! But it's my eighteenth birthday. All my friends have been 18 for over a year already and I've missed out ALL the cool things that happen when they go to the bars and when they get to drive and how they get better jobs just cause they're 18.
So of course I'm excited, I won't deny it. And of course all the benefits will have an impact on my life. The party will be what you can expect from a adult party and we'll go raid the city. The place we'll raid is still under consideration and I don't think anyone will like my suggestion. That's why I won't even say it outloud. It's much easier for me to conform with any place since I don't have any experience whatsoever. It kinda annoys me that people complain about every bar I'd be interested in visiting, but oh well. I'll have to go alone someday, maybe I'll take someone with me that way, easier (duh). I hope all my friends will make it to the party! It'll be great (or an utter failure).

Okay, I love my friend, she's giving me terribly good topics. We were at the beach one day and there was this park-zumba thing, lead by a guy. It was so weird seeing from a distance how they all just jumped around and shook their asses (shake, shook, ??, why don't I know how to decline that word and why does it sound so weird?) to the latin music playing on the background. We were so far that I couldn't see them clearly and both of my friends were drooling over the instructor. I got curious, as my nature permits me to, and I was joking: "Let's go take a closer look at them!". When they were over my friends dared me to go ask the guy when the next park-zumba was going to be, alone! I almost went, but chickened out. It was unfair to ask me to go alone anyway. Nevertheless I ask my friend, actually, Miss B, and she agrees. We go and ask and the guy seems to be happy to receive some "new" customers. Too bad I ain't going there. I'm too busy. We had some laughs and giggles out of this weirdness.

Ahhhhhh I heard a weirdddd sound from the walls. I hope I get to publish this entry since I've put so much time into it and time is something I wouldn't want to waste. I think this weird dubstep music I'm listening to is making me nervous! Sounds and scary music isn't healthy. I hope I don't get one of my undercover heart attacks.

Looong blog. But one more thing I gotta say. Beyonce has made the worst record ever. I haven't liked a single song on it which is really bad. I'll have to give it a listen and then make up my mind, which seat can I take.... ERM.... whether I like it or not. What I can say is that Who Run the World (Girls) could almost compare to a Finnish rap "artist" couple that have a really stupid song about weddings. But I won't, since it's not that bad, I'm sorry if there are any fans reading and they made the connection.

Today's video will be a song I had forgotten about. Just gave me the chills. The chorus is been rapes so many times yet it still can't take away the brilliantness of some kind.
