Current Music: Volumia – Hou me vast (héél érg mooi!)

It’s thundering and lightning outside… it’s a good ol’ Florida storm! Never seen one like this here in Holland. HAVE seen the wind, though – a tree came crashing down the other day not five minutes after T had driven under it. And on my bike today, I had to get off and walk it because I was barely moving – it was blowing straight in my face. This guy next to me did the same thing and we laughed about it for a while.

Further news… not much. T and I just had a religious debate… why does this always happen with me and my friends? Those things are pointless; you can’t prove anything because it all comes down to, as Dr. Phil says, “what works for you”. And I think every single person in this world probably has a slightly different take on religion. So why all the debate and controversy? Because we’re trying to prove a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’, just like in politics and in law… our world is ridiculously black and white. What’s wrong with a gray area???

Enough of that. Other news. Never did get to Zeewolde because P’s parents decided to ‘surprise’ him with a housecleaning. LOL. Nice of them, though. But speaking of ‘housing’, I really love this new room!!!

What I did today… got up early (for me) and laid around trying to go back to sleep. Couldn’t, so got up and messed around on the computer, discovered my Internet wasn’t working, listened to music for a while and then went out on my bike in search of GOOD English-Dutch and Dutch-English dictionaries. For once, mission accomplished! I need those for my translating class; I’d almost forgotten. My good old Prisma isn’t going to cut it at this level. :) Also went to Albert Heijn and got the essentials… milk, cheese, cashews, chocolate :) haha. No, really… also pasta and orange juice and stuff. Anyway, got on the bike and came home, struggling against the wind the whole way. Got here (REALLY overheated) and the Net was working, so I sat down and I’ve basically been here for the past five hours… LOL. First surfing and all, then chatting, then proofreading something of T’s that he’s been working on in English, then that religious debate… and now this entry.

So there’s my day in a nutshell.

Going to go now… I really need to plug into the wall, but S is using the Internet too. Hurry up and take a shower, man…
