Pride

Allo. It's been a while and, to not break the chain, I'll continue with the previous subject. The seven deadly sins, this time starring Pride. The first example would be how I refuse to stop the subject until I've finished it. Even if it meant apologizing (which I don't directly do) for being late.

Since pride is about yourself, there's nothing better to do than be proud of what's happened to me. A lot of things have changed yet a lot stayed the same.
I've visited my friend in Romania, which, her being an Internet friend, was a bit weird for many people. For me it was fun. What a better way to cleanse your head from old habits and people than going somewhere completely new? It wasn't easy: it's always difficult to penetrate a culture the language of which you don't know. English makes it easier but definitely not that easy. We had fun, quarreled quite many times but remain friends (as far as I know).
Pride is also about boasting with your achievements or future events. I'm going to New York for the New Year (NY for the NY!). I thought I'd be really really excited since visiting The US has been one of my biggest dreams. So far I feel nothing special but it could be the circumstances changed that is causing this. Like I said, everything has changed and just thinking about past NY's make me long to stay. But I know I won't regret the trip: it is going to be different and amazing. My friend's there as an au pair (Miss B) and I hope she likes my visit. I also can't wait to see Central Park, Liberty Island and perhaps a musical on Broadway!

Pride is about not knowing you've been defeated.
Somehow totally different is when you've been defeated and yet you rise again. This happened, kind of, to me. However putting it this way makes it as prideful as ever. Way to go.
For those who still ponder yet are not sure, I've found someone really nice who treats me right (oh, starts to sound like a song, right?). This has been most likely the biggest change. I'd prefer not to talk about it since everything I say can and will be used against me! And just saying that will raise a lot of questions that I won't be able to answer simply cause I don't know the answer. Mmm. How much I'd love to write everything that's going through my head but I simply can't (cause I already gave the link, bwahaha).

Pride is throwing cash around just cause.. you can.
After I turned 18 I've been roaming headlessly at bars. Didn't matter which one, I was up for it. It wasn't out of the question that I wasted over 20 euros per trip since drinks can get a bit expensive. Buying drinks to your friends can get a bit expensive. I always thanked whatever God is in charge of pulling my strings that I got a job the year I got into my adulthood; I can not imagine how all this would've been possible with a student's budget. Long uninteresting story short: too much money wasted nothing much accomplished. That's the story of my life.

Pride doesn't acquiesce to what it is, it always wants what it could be.
I redid my Finnish matriculation exam since I found it lower than my real level is. I got the grade up a notch and even though my goal was to aim for the best that sufficed. I actually thought it went really bad.

Pride is taking the magazine with you. You know you won't have time to read it but you can't let anyone else read it before you.

Pride is collecting memories. If they were good enough just living through them would suffice.

Pride is putting time restrictions for everyone else's users on the computer. The computer is MINE. MINE MINE MINE. Why would anyone else need to use it?

Pride is defending your favorite band. None really cares but it is my opinion and it hurts if you disagree.

Pride is bashing someone's favorite band. I don't understand why they like that band and I definitely don't get the music. That means it sucks.

Pride is thinking someone must not hear something. After all, it would only hurt their feelings. I know best.

Pride is outsourcing your problems. Why would I have flaws?

Pride is choosing the best picture. And then I wonder why people call me cute.

Pride is not buying presents to anyone. That way I can say I don't buy them for anyone.

It was fun coming up with those. I like being practical so why try to go complicated. Since it's holiday season, I must wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I don't really like Christmas cause of the present hustle but I do enjoy a good new year. It's always an opportunity. To get older, to get wiser, to get more experienced. Mostly I just shrink smaller, think younger and do stupid things that are irrelevant to experience. But it's my life and I enjoy it. Enjoy yours!
