Dear lord its boring here! F# all to do! It may sound appealing to just hang in your chair and browse the internet for 8 hours, but truly, it gets a bit dull! Time goes soo much faster when you have lots to do. Why is nobody giving me assignments, and I'm brandnew here so I can't really invent stuff to do. And January is really calm for visa applications, so sigh! Been browsing blogger all day long reading interesting blogs, like Daydream Believer, she's really funny. Hard not to crack up sometimes though, and I can't do that, I have a co-worker right across from me :p and she seems to be a lot busier somehow hmm
Only three more hours to go, sigh! Then I get to do the whole trainjourney thing again. Luckily I recently bought myself a spanking new pink netbook, yes you heard it, I like pink! Doesn't mean I'm 23 I should grow out of my love for all things pink! It's so much prettier than those lame grey or black laptops, a little pink brightens the dreary day. Back to the point now, got a whole bunch of films and series on there, which I of course legally erm bought, not downloaded at all!
Makes the long trainride back so much nicer, and more relaxing, so although it was rather expensive (300 euro) it was worth it. Sure, I could have gotten the boring black one for 275 euro, but I deserved a treat for finding a job!
I like reading too, but I just finished all my new books I got for Xmas and New Year, so I'm currently out. But as I am now no longer an unemployed broke girl, I just won't be able to stop myself from indulging in new books. Always wanted to have a little library of my own later, sure it'll be filled with mainly fantasy books rather than intellectual classics but oh well, it could be worse (chicklit)(although I do read those sometimes shh)
I'm really a fantasy geek, but more on that some other time!
Back to pretending to work!

DAY NINE
Your views on drugs, alcohol and religion
DRUGS:
Having grown up in not so big city, I never knew these things existed until I started talking to this guy say X, who was once a addict, and then how his parents bought him back home when they realised about it, stopped his education, no more pocket money, nor there was availability in this place to buy it.So eventually he quit. Before you judge him, he wasn't this rich,spoiled guy or something. He was a regular guy, from regular college, regular family, but bad friends. His left hand is totally scarred cause he used to cut his hand, put brown sugar, and put on a band aid.So that it would affect him fast.
Well, the whole thing left a clear picture in my head, about how drugs can destroy your life. So NO to drugs anytime of my life.
ALCOHOL:
I am now in one of those "crazy-drinking" phase in college. I had my first sip of beer last year, and slowly everything followed. Well, its fun, and I cant stop thinking about when we are gonna get drunk next.I have always had a better time when I drink with my girlfriends, we laugh, we talk crazy shit, we sing, they always listen when you get emotional sometimes,even if they are equally drunk, give you a hug and a kiss to make you feel better. Whenever I have got drunk with guys or boyfriend, I have more not-so-good memories then the happy one's. I have been dumped,cried,got lost,had to fight for attention when he found stupid cricket or some song more interesting then the drunk me!. This may sound filmy, but I want those situations which we see in movies,where the actress gets drunk and starts acting all cranky and the actor takes care of her like a baby, and gets her home.Hope the bad jinx breaks soon.
RELIGION:
This is one topic when people discuss, I try to get out from that place.Because, this usually leads to the question of which caste are you, and that is not something I like to talk about. It doesn't mean that I mean I am not proud of who I am, I am proud about it, but unless you are in my shoes, you probably would never understand. I don't understand why this whole thing called religion,caste,sub caste,minority, had to exist and make it difficult for some people.
PS: this might have come out a little emotional, maybe I am emotional right now I dono :)

working hard or hardly working
Starting anew with the blog, as I totally forgot about the one I started months ago and I got no, yes NO, comments at all! so perhaps my stories were a bit boring :D So hopefully I'll be able to entertain at least one person if I start posting more regularly!
Alrighty, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name's Athena and I live in Belgium. You might know it for the waffles, the amazingly good chocolate and Jean-Claude Van Damme, a very lame actor to be honest, but he seems famous for some reason ! If that still doesn't ring a bell, it's somewhere in western Europe, tiny country squished between France, Germany and the Netherlands. I live by the coast, in a small city called Nieuwpoort. I added a map just below for the less wordly people among us. Its a tiny country really, but there are like ten million inhabitants which is pretty crazy to me, way too densely populated. I like me some peace and quiet.
I'm 23, got my master's degree this year as translator English and Russian and have finally found a job last month!
I work in the Embassy of Ireland in Brussels. Loving the job so far, but a huuuge downside is the insane commute, its two hours by train to get to Brussels, so four hours on the train every day. Yes, I know, that's a bit crazy, and it reaally tiring sometimes. I get up at 6.10 am and get home at 8.10 pm, which is a very long day. I do intend to move at some point, but to be honest, it's so expensive to live by yourself and I'd rather spend my money on more fun things :p and i like having company when I get home.
What else hmm well so I live at home with the parents, and a younger brother. Have two dogs too, love my doggies. The older one is called Annabelle, but we call her Belly, it's a scruffy mix of a Fox and a Snauzer and she's 12. And the other is a greyhound called Fiona and she's 8. In one of the next posts I'll tell you all about my beloved doggies naturally.
Currrently at work actually, ssssh, don't tell ;) Don't have much to do at the moment. I generally occupy myself with visas and the accounts, and general mail and phone answering. Everyone here is really friendly, mostly Irish, which I really like because I love all things Irish. You'll find that out in later posts too for sure. My thesis was on Ireland and I've been there many many times! Ah it's a great country really, so I was so excited to get to work somewhere Ireland-related!
Hmm guess I should find something useful to do here at work then! Promise to not forget to write this time, hopefully I'll eventually get a comment then! Cause I want one!

DAY EIGHT
THE SONG THE THAT BEST DESCRIBES HOW I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were hereI'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were hereI'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
SONG: VANILLA TWILIGHT by OWL CITY
PS: I'm missing you right now, and oh darling, I wish you were here!
DAY SEVEN
TAG again!
You might say what again???! well, I'm in no mood for any deep thinking or whatever today, so thought will do another tag (tags are easy you see :P) this is like tag in a tag :) didn't get it? well, like in dream in a dream in dream, its tag in a tag,got it?? fine, I'm done with my PJ..and here I go again..
Your last FB/Twitter update:
facebook-
twitter- my new posts, followed by my URL.
in my defense, I was really upset about the fact that my zodiac changed, and it was my first status that attracted so many comments!
I don't use twitter much, so whenever I post something in the blog, I put it up.
TV/Movie characters you relate with:
Rachel from F.R.I.E.N.D.S
nope, I don't think I am hot like her or something.The point is,she is confused, and spoilt. I just can relate to her about how she didn't know what she wanted in life, from being picked last when it comes to sports, all the crying she does, and also her craziness for doctors (oh yeah! I find doctors and med students walking around wearing their apron HOT!!)
Geet from Jab We Met

Geet from Jab We Met
well, I can relate to her because, I used to be too, one of those who was crazy, couldn't stop talking, trusting every person she met, thinking nothing can go wrong with her, false faith in love, like she did even I went through some experiences in life, and have changed a lot.

DAY SIX
A habit that you wish you didn't have
Well, every one's got those habits which just are too hard too change.They are like in the blood!
Such habits for me would be
Biting my lips:
This is the reason for my lips being covered with gloss all the time. I just cannot control myself. Especially when I am worried or tensed. If you find me biting my lips that means something is going on in my head or it also might mean I am concentrating or thinking hard.I am biting them even right now. Before entering the examination hall, I have to make sure that I have applied gloss or balm, else you can imagine what the condition of my poor lips will be at the end of 3 hours!
Cry:
Its more than a habit, I don't remember how it started, but its just something I think can never ever change.If you find me making weird faces don't think its constipation, it just means I am trying very hard not to cry. Another thing is I can cry, anytime, anywhere, with anyone, but except when I don't get the output in the lab! Every other female around me is crying, pink in face, but I cant even bring out a drop of tear, how sad can it get? doesn't even come to proper use.If I dont get my regular dosage of crying, I feel anxious, sad, irritated..so its better to cry off once in a while!
Crib:
first I would like to thank all my dear friends for tolerating this, and also my boyfriend because he gets the double of what my friends get and still hasn't dumped me. This is one thing I really really want to change, but I do it unconsciously and realize later! I do it whenever I am upset, or irritated or moody, and also when I PMS. I just go on and on and on..... wish I could just stop at the right moment.
hmmm..:) that's all I think..:)
PS: If you guys find any of my habits annoying please feel free to share :)
