My fourth step. Not like in a checklist. More like a stair...in a staircase.

My apartment ("flat") has two floors; kitchen and living room downstairs, bedrooms upstairs. Obviously, there's a staircase in between (I can't afford to have an escalator installed). The fourth step from teh bottom is what I call my "thinking step":.

Why is it that we tend to hate people we know so little about?

There's a guy that I freakin' hate. I barely know the guy, but I hate his guts. He's kind of dating a coworker of mine. She's cool. She's awesome. But from the first time I met him, I've loathed his existence. He really hasn't done anything to offend me, which is odd. He hasn't insulted ( Read more... )

So there I was, riding through Luxembourg. As I was staring out the window, fascinated by the scenery, I thought to myself "screw the language barrier, THIS is where I want to settle down; this is where I want to spend the rest of my life."

Well hello there, little ones.

I'm about to get a place. It's a two bedroom apartment that's pretty close to the base. Woo hoo. Did the application paperwork today. Once the base housing office does a safety inspection to make sure it's live-able, then I sign the contract and move in. It's gonna be sweet.

And if you're in the area, I'll probably ( Read more... )

So, here I am.

I'm in England. Flew in Sunday morning. Took the bus to the base. When I got off, my sponsor was there to pick me up. Got me my hotel room, and showed me the base. There are a couple of other bases around here, so we went to those too. On the was back, we got in a wreck.

My hotel doesn't have internet. But, there's a ( Read more... )
