honey, i ain't the one to dump my feelings on the first person i meet. in fact, when i meet new people, i tend to close down. i prefer to mind my business and solve things on my own rather than 'talk'. you know, talk about issues. i think i know what i'm saying when i say i am indeed introverted. online is quite a different universe, but in person it is so.

so... guess who's suitcase got damaged on the way back? yup, mine and ONLY mine from the entire plane. Two other people were missing their luggage, but they boarded late. My NEW suitcase (bought in december, used once) got its wheel ripped off and couple tears around). they gave me 50 bucks, but i did have to take a cab instead of the subway as I was planning, which was 30. Aarrgh, hope i can get a wheel replaced for 20 or thereabout. i am one lucky girl.

Damn, this was the trip from hell! Except for the good parts, of course.

yes. it was also a good exercise in stoicism. i swear i didn't even raise an eyebrow when my suitcase arrived all limping and cripled. i think that's what mothers must feel like. just do what has to be done this very moment, those are all just perishable material posessions. who cares about money, let's focus on sanity.

Amazingly, Dag is very shy in person. When dys and I met a goup of a2kers in Boston, she sat next to dys and didn't say a word. He was sooo disappointed as he has a little crush on her. Then again, maybe she thought he was a dirty old man?

Dag, you are one of the most exciting people I've ever known. What a life, wonderful and crazy even with all the sh!t that you sometimes have to endure.

Loved your list of things you shouldn't do. Wanna bet you change?

Why on earth would she think something like that?

Well, apparently my mother was quite like me. Always late, running around...

Rumour has it that she was late for one of the first dates with my dad - over an hour. He was so flabbergasted that when she got there, he drove straight through a pedestrian zone an incurred a massive ticket. But they're still together, so she must have had another charms...

ok, perhaps we have different definitions of "introverted"...

Actually, I was talking about the story of your dad driving through a traffic light and getting a ticket because he was so suprised to see your mom finally show up for the date! Razz

oh yeah, there's plenty. it wasn't even a red light, it was a pedestrian corso - a walkway for pedestrians only THROUGH a building....

he got back at her many times. They wanted to get into the botanical garden, my dad claimed the gate is closed. So my heroic mother climbed the fence, ripped her miniskirt, and while she was hanging stuck up there, he opened the gate and walked through. She was pissed for a long time.
