A new post!

Okay i've been lazy at the posting, just don't feel like posting pics about my holidays. Ask me for them, if you wanna see, otherwise i have the hard copies so you'll eventually see them. Too many nice pics, but not very many are actually representative and nice at the same time, those must be on the other camera which whirrs.

Very strange emotional swings of late, I suppose it's partly due to my inability to let go. Also still adjusting to changes in camp environment since i got back on monday, new miniboss starting to throw his weight around and he has this nauseating electric air freshener in the office which i just can't stand. I bet that contributed somewhat to my lung problems last week.

The weekends are always higher points, thanks to all my friends who bring happiness into my life. And so i sign up for french lessons at alliance francaise (they've got a REALLY cool building with a nice cafe and a small library of mostly french books and films and stuff, it's almost like a little french clubhouse, nice place to spend time if you have such a luxury, and, of course, a membership, which you need for the lessons anyway) next jan, because i still believe it's a beautiful language, even though it's unfortunately lost part of its sparkle to me since i started wanting to learn it a year or so ago. I eventually decided all the small informal attempts to learn french weren't exactly working very well, and so since rishi's keen on it, that's where we'll spend our sat afternoons for the first few months of next year.

Oh and welcome back, ah-gan =)

how accurate is it? I can't really say. What's the big diff btw 46% and 53% anyway? i guess they're generally correct but i can't really say if they're accurate to any large degree. Personality tests just serve to reinforce your conception of your personality sometimes, and it becomes a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. I suppose you can't get too obsessed over a bunch of statistically calculated things sometimes, unless the questions are very clearly phrased and interpreted in the way they're supposed to be. but then you'll never know, will you?
