Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Goddamn Make It Stop!

When looking at the window right now I see the snow falling down, well, it is already a miracle that it is snowing here. So close to the coast snow usually turns into mushy rain and rather makes you wet than covered in a white layer of cold goodness. When going to town this image was very very different. First of all, I was in college working with my groupmates on a projectplan and promised my sister to take her out to lunch and do some shopping. Well, the Hague isn't far off the coast either and has the same change on snow I have at home, but I am digressing.

There is nothing more fun than walking in town while it is pouring down, thank god that the Hague has functioning trams that will take you to the city centre, at home there goes a bus every 30 minutes to the station, it is easier to walk to the city centre from the station than to take any kind of transport, we aren't so person friendly here. It is really big different from rain to snow, especially snow that sticks around and covers the ground in, even though it is small, layer of icecrystals. Though there is even another opposite with my hand's reach.

A few weeks back, when enjoying a very good night with one of my close friends my phone suddenly died. At first I thought that the battery hadn't charged so well, but in the end it appeared to be quite dead. So, this week I got a new phone, a shiny new one with loads of extra options and a subscription. I got a HTC Wildfire, yes one of those spiffy smartphones with limitless internet. I don't know why I need all that, well, I kind of do need mobile internet for my study as they require you to be able to check all kinds of things and know all kinds of google-fu-wisdom when you are in class. It is very easy to check what they hen's egg your professor is talking about and it has all kind of handy apps for everyday use. Now I only have to wait for my subscription to kick in, until then I will use my good ol' Siemens borrowed from my sister who got it second hand herself. (She just came into my room to tell me she fixed her internet and demanded me to tell you that it is HER mobile phone, so there you go, sister dear, not that you will read this)

Then imagine this phone with the back taped with red electrical tape to hold it together

For those who once had my number, please, please, please, when you want to keep in touch with me, send me a text with your name. Due to phone stupidness I have lost every single contact I had, which weren't many, but still, some are sort of handy to have. So, if you have this sick need of staying in touch with me, no, not touchING me, IN touch with me, send me that Damascus text.

Don't be jealous, it is actually quite a cheap phone.

It has stopped snowing, life is boring, well perhaps it is not. My mind is a turmoil of thought that I cannot discard of. My parents are currently very serious about buying a very old house that has to be completely renovated somewhere in Gelderland, Hengelo to be precise, no not the city Hengelo in Twente, the village in Gelderland. On the other hand me and my sister have an eye on an apartment in Scheveningen. Where life will take me, I don't know, I am not a sane person.


Cheers,
