Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fladian" data-source="post: 127631" data-attributes="member: 5833">Doesn't sound too odd to me. Don't we, in the Netherlands, have a day too to celebrate the homosexuals? The gay parade and Rose Tilburg (or something like that, 'Pink Tilburg') comes to mind. I kinda support these things, so I really have nothing against it. As long as people don't expect me to buy stuff so early after Christmas. With no solid income, it's kind of hard to make up for the tremendous losses of my Christmas shopping.Quote of the Day Archive:19/09/06 "'Being in love' disappears after a year. If you still care as much as before, then it's real love. And I'm together with Jeroen for two years now and I still love him." - Bianca, girlfriend of a friend.So, no, I don't really agree with your friend there.Valentine seems to have been rather disappointing for me this year. Where I prepared a couple of jokes, none of them were able to be used today because of the absence of a few good friends of mine and the fact that two other friends didn't show up at the Central station. But still, there were a couple of nice jokes from other people that sure were worth laughing about. The question if the Devil's Advocate bought roses for his girlfriend was one of the memorable ones. ("Of course not! Just joking. Yes, I did buy some. I bought one hundrerd roses for her with discount. You see, she works at a place where you can buy flowers." Typical) But on the other hand, I didn't really expect anything else of him ("Your humor is sickening." - Anne, his classmate).What probably did ignite my interest was that most roses that were scattered around the school were from girls to girls. Even though this isn't much of a surprise in general, I cannot name a single guy who bought a rose. Well, with one exception that is. Franklin did buy one, (with MY money!) so two girls would get in a fight together ("I thought you bought me one." - "No, I didn't mean what I said to you. But on the other hand, I didn't mean what I said to her either."), which I'm not sure if he was successful in. One of the largest disappointments of them all were that the five people who are the source of jokes of the people I hang out with were all not in-form. Well, one of them was... a bit. But it took till noon until he got loose. Before that time he was still mad that his girlfriend, mother and someone else I don't know went skieng (skie) without him - and he had to stay behind because it was going to be busy at work. The other one has been out of shape for a while now and the third was absent for a reason I'm not sure. Martijn covered for her saying she "was injured." After I enquired what she had at Martijn, I got the usual answer. "She fell from the stairs. The floor was slippery because of Dreft and she fell on a high number of cucumbers." What really happened with her, I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure I missed her the most. I barely saw the fourth person at school today, so I can't comment much about him. He didn't want to get a sandwich after school either - and when I look back on it, I shouldn't have either; I bite my lip three times in a row.Come to think of it, I said that I saw no guy giving a rose to a girl today with an exception of Franklin, I must correct myself here. After Franklin gave a rose to one of my classmates, another classmate of mine got slightly pissed at him (increase of laughter =P). Understandable too considering the situation. Because of a reason I'm not too sure of, my law-teacher (aka. Mr Chaotic) gave the other girl his rose (the one he received from a girl I don't know). I mentioned someone before that people draw conclusions faster and faster lately. A little while ago, two classmates concluded that I liked another classmate of mine, which is quite akward as I can't remember anything pointing to that, except a misunderstanding of words. (Now, come on, you must agree with me that it's funny to go and see a friend of yours working at the McDonalds =P) Today someone else concluded that I'm the boyfriend of a girl from another class, whom I barely know. Funny, but I've decided not to react. Ironically enough no one even bothers to mention anything about someone I do care about, which really is a lot more obvious... but that's a different subject.On a side note, with an average age of twentyone (or twentytwo, I'm not sure) of the people I hang out with (including myself; excluding Erik, who recently quit school), it might be worth mentioning how much fun you can have with a puzzle directed at children of 5 years and younger. =P I'm sure we've played with that puzzle for at least ten minutes with the five of us. ("What does a pig say? Squeek? No.") But on the other hand, in the past we've had a loads of fun with a cucumber too and a bottle of dish-washing fluid, which is probably the joke of the 2006. All in all, a very disappointing day. I expected much more from it, which never really came. But on the other hand, I might have a date for tomorrow, so... I can't say it was a complete failure. Still, it was far below the average wednesday - which is definitely the funnest day of the week for me.</blockquote>
