We played the Silent Hill mod for Left 4 Dead last night.. for 4 and a half hours.  Honestly, I thought it would be another normal campaign but this one had 12 parts.  And they were full of these ridiculous puzzles that made no sense.  It was kind of disappointing in the end but it was something we just had to finish lol.
Apollo has been so good the past 2 nights.  He plays with me all the time.  Nibbling my fingers and my toes and not flying away when I pick him up.  And he loves to play with his little ball we bought him.  If we hold it he will fly onto our hand, pick the ball up, drop it on the floor and then chase after it.  He's so easily amused but I guess to a tiny bird who has only been alive for like 6 months, it's fascinating lol.  Plus he started making weird new sounds when I was talking to him so I think he was trying to talk.  He's so freaking cute ><

Can't wait for Tunisia.

I finished Brave New World last night.  I totally get what everybody has been raving about all these years.  Wish I had to read it in high school like everybody else did.
What life would I choose?  I don't know.  I guess I wouldn't have much of a choice if 'civilization' came to that.  I felt angered and also sympathetic for every character at some point or another.  Good stuff.
I have to start reading Dracula now.  But I think I'll go and try to sell some books I brought with me here.  I hope they give me more than a euro for them all.
I also still have to finish A Game of Thrones but in the meantime I really don't have time.  I want to read Dracula, continue with the Quran and some other things I've got lying around here.
Blah.  So much to do.

I'm going to go vegetarian I think.

I want to be in Tunisia by now.

Well my internship is over.  I've got a lot of spare time now which is both good and bad.

I'm so excited because we're going to Tunisia in 2 weeks.  I'm a bit nervous because it's a Muslim country, but that also makes it 10x more fascinating.  I'm also glad I've been reading the Quran and learning so much more about Islam in the past few months.

The cities are going to be fascinating and the beach... omg I cannot wait to lie on the beach.  It's going to be amazing.

I miss home though and I really am sad I'll be missing Halloween, but we'll go to a party here instead so it should be ok. It's just that the seasons in Chicago are so wonderful.  I really really do not like Ireland's constant crappy weather.  I feel angered by it, which is stupid, of course, but I really do.

In other news I think I might be allergic to Apollo.  My nose will not stop running and I can't stop sneezing while I'm at home with him.  I really love him and I hope I've just got a cold since the weather is changing.  Blah.

Tonight I want bratwurst for dinner!  Oktoberfest is still going on and they've got such delicious food for sale.  Unfortunately they don't have any of the fun crafts or chocolate or cool stuff for sale like they do in Chicago, but at least it's something.

Alright, errands to run.

I'm at work.  Out of things to do.  I'm hungry.

The other day at Chapters I, for the first time in my life, found the TY book on Korean.  It's exactly what I've wanted for years.  I wish I could have found it sooner.  I love grammar.  Love love love.

I'm hungry.
It's Friday, therefore I am happy.  I've had a cold for about 3 weeks but that's ok.  Lars and I will be playing Halo: Reach tonight most likely.  Then the party is tomorrow.
Maria is back in town <3
Time to find something to do!

Totally got paid.  Love it.

First on my shopping list:

new digital camera.. actually, I'll have to wait until I get home for that.

sunglasses

my expensive facial lotion they threw away are the airport.. jerks

SHOES.  SHOOOOOOOOOES.  For work and running

more and more and more perfume

I woke up late last night and I think I had an out of body experience.  I went to turn to get more comfortable, and I felt like.. >>I<< was moving, my mind and soul or whatever, but my body was just lying there and I couldn't control it.  It was in the night so maybe I was still half-asleep or something, but I do that all the time and for some reason this was just the weirdest feeling in the world.  So strange..

So after seeing my previous post I realize it's time to write something again.

I've been busy with my internship every day.  It's really really great.  And they're paying me.  Score.

I've been feeling so good lately too.  Because I have to get up so early every day I always sleep regularly and like a baby.  Well Lars is doing Ramadan so he gets up really early and eats a ton of stuff and that wakes me up which kind of sucks, but it's not so bad.  He's so strong and I love him for it.

So today was the first morning I went for a run.  It was tough, I won't lie, but it helped me wake up, and it didn't put me far behind at all.  I got home by the time I would usually be waking up, so I was able to get ready in the same amount of time without feeling rushed.  It was nice.  I just really really hope I will be able to keep it up at least every other morning.  Every time in the past that I've tried to go running on a regular basis I always lose motivation, but I'm thinking that because I'll be setting my alarm earlier, I'll be forced to do it.  Which is nice.

Also, I have to walk for an hour every day to get to and from work, so that's some pretty good exercise.  I just overall feel really really good lately.

It will definitely be nice to get paid next weekend though.

Alright, back to work.
