I just had it sprung on me that my sister is having 8 people over for dinner, Even though she knows i'm not a people person and that I hate her friends. Tonight is going to suck.

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
Oh, Thanks, I'll just nip over in my private jet

Why do girls keep lying about their age, and turn out to be minors, AFTER I hit on them to my hearts content. I really wish I had a time machine some times lol. ( not to make me go back in time, but to make them older )

Yea I'm mad.
I'm mad at Greek governments of the last 35 years, which have done nothing, nothing except appoint their voters to civil service, turning the country into a hydrocephalus that produces much less than it spends.
I'm mad at Greek people who have allowed this to happen, who never wanted to work more for more money, but always tried to work less without earning less.
As a Greek, I'm mad at every single Greek who did their bit in driving this country to absolute poverty.
I'm NOT mad at the Germans, the Brits, the Russians, the Americans, or anyone who has given us loans over the last 4 decades and now want their money back. I would, too.
I feel sorry for the generation of my parents, who now find themselves with virtually no pension. But I'm also mad at them, because they *STILL, EVEN NOW* nag me about not becoming a civil servant and choosing instead to create my own business with all the risks and hard work involved.
I feel mad at the people who see me working my *** off in order to keep my company going and think: "look at that stupid git walking around in a suit, thinking he's the bee's knees". They sit at the cafe and order a cup of coffee which costs 5 euros, and they do it every day with pocket money given to them by their parents, and NEVER ONCE do they seriously think about becoming more productive for their own sake and for the sake of this country.
But most of all, I feel mad at myself. I feel mad at myself because I *could* have worked harder, I *could* have contributed more, I *could* have RESISTED more, and I didn't.
Regards,
Christos

Still, beats them turning out to be "seniors", I guess.Christos,
Without going into politics, I would like to say that I hear and share your frustration. Being an optimist, I would like to believe that things will get better - even though the journey there may not be smooth or short.
Please do come back and talk to us.

I thought I'd cleared my slate of "stupid tasks that need to get done by the weekend," but instead the list just started growing exponentially.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
I'm the happiest that I've ever been pretty much throughout my whole life, but there are so many things getting in the way of it, it scares me sometimes. Then when I see what has made me so happy all the fears slip away, but when it's gone, I worry about what might happen and if something does go wrong, it might be taken away from me forever.
So, now, we self-destruct.
It's goodbye from Greece. We're now killing each other in downtown avenues. Is there a power (an Olympian god, perhaps, or one of our Eurovision song contest winners) that could stop the country from plunging into economic and social abyss?
I doubt it.
Good health to everyone.

These are terrible times dear. My heart goes out to you.
Stay safe.
I've got to read less Atwood, starting now. She's uber depressing. I'm going to read The Secret Garden, that always cheers me up.

DARN FLU!!!
AND I'M MISSING THE NAPLAN TESTING!!!
Only apart from that, I'm invincible and on top of the world!!!
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?Eliot
We've got this new kettle, and its driving me crazy.
It comes to the boil.
You think, it'll switch off now.
It doesnt.
Any time now.
Still boiling.
Surely now.
It keeps Boiling.
You go over to it , and just as you reach out to unplug it-
Click!
Its timing is impeccable, its waging psychological warfare and its winning.
