Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

Weekends over.

So I had an interesting weekend. Friday I ended up just staying home. I was feeling rather asocial or else I've gotten addicted to 4400 episodes (which is also bad since I only have like 2 more to watch... help). On Saturday I went shopping (and flip-flopping on my new flip-flops) and inline-skating and in the evening I was to meet the people I know at eight in the center. So I was early like I always am but having waited 20 after the arranged meeting time I got bored and called one of them. They hadn't even left yet. I got somewhat annoyed at this since I was getting thirsty and hungry. I decided to walk back home (3 blocks) and wait till they call me when they leave. Finally at half past nine thay show up at the place. People who know me can imagine I was a bit more hungry by now and was waiting for some food which we were supposed to get. No luck there. Apparently all of them had ate in the time I was waiting and so I had to go get some food luckily not by myself though. Well Subway is a nice place to eat but that just didn't cut it since all I'd eaten was bread all day (and almost all week too actually). But It had to do. The rest of the night went really well even though I didn't really recover from the hunger and annoyance. I even got a ride home.

Well Sunday we were going swimming at the ponds here. That was great fun till during this game of monkey in the middle a guy pushed me under water. Ha haa. Funny yeah had I not gotten water in my ears, mouth, eyes and nose and most likely my lungs too. And well I like to think of myself as a rather easy going person but that was it for me. I got pissed off. The guy was lucky I was choking and yet controlled enough not to hurt him. now I'm just plotting revenge which just seem really stupid but I can't help it. My ears hurt like hell last night and the pressure in my head is still not right. I was supposed to study lots last night but couldn't.

The thing that annoys me most is that I think all the people must think I'm way difficult and get pissed off really easily. No fun there. I'm having trouble wanting to see any of them again and trying to prove otherwise. Well I think I'll go swimming with them again today. Had the tenacity to not go off and leave silently yesterday. So I think I just have to eat well today and try it again.

But yeah all is good in my world. Had the guy not been otherwise cute and nice I might be even more annoyed but I'll see if I can still talk to him today or whenever I see him next. But for now It's off to the library.

    People throwing a ball past a person in the middle who's trying to catch it. Person in the middle is the monkey. :)

    I know how you feel about the hunger and waiting. I think I might be worse at that. You'll just have to start carrying around food and showing up like 30 minutes late. Marja is always like 15 minutes late, so I am too when I'm to meet her. Or then I just tell her to come 15 minutes earlier. ;)
    I find that for revenge it is best to let the air out of someone's bike tires. Remember? No one ever suspected anything. Revenge in secret. hahahhahhahahaaaa.
    I'm taking my personal coffee break now, since I missed coffee time. Working at the lab is tough. ;)
    Today the fish are getting clean water. I promise. As soon as I get home. The temp has also gone down from the 30 °C it was a while ago. Dead toll 1. Kuparimonninen for no apparent reason. Two older guppy males look sort of sick. Or actually one just lies around on top of the pump. But he eats so I haven't had the guts to kill him. Or ask Jaakko to do it actually. ;)
    Way too long comment. Maybe I should really write in my own blog...

    Ok, i know that game. Weird guy :)

    That waiting for nothing story sounds like communication problems. Do you speak in english or in german with those people?

    Plain english. Finnish with this one guy. The problem is that they all live in the same building and me on the other side of the city. And well I guess they just forget about me noboby knowing me too well and stuff. If they did know me they'd care about my feelings I'm sure.

    So which season of 4400 have you been watching? I've watched the first season a while ago. I've got the second season, but haven't reached the point of not having anything else to watch, so I haven't watched it yet. I found the first season to be a little bit childish and the "night scenes" that have been shot in broad daylight look awful! I hope the second season has been made with a little bit more money so that it doesn't look ridiculous...

    Currently I've been watching the second season of Lost. The first season held me in it's grip very well, but the second season has been so far (episode 12) a bit disappointing. The've totally forgotten to actually develop the friggin' story of the island. I don't want to know the stories of every minor character on the island. I want to know what is going on in the island...

    Unfortunately it seems that ABC is going to suck money out of this baby for a few more seasons, so there won't be (I believe) any actual story development like ever...

    That's the difference between British and American shows. British shows, like The Office, are brilliant, funny and have a great stroy arc because of their limited length. But like always, exception makes the rule (or whatever the expression actually is). The US version of The Office is also very very funny. Can't wait for the third season to begin in september. The first season begins this month in Finland. I've been spreading the word about it as much as possible.

    This has been such a long post, that I'll also post it on my blog =)

    Thanks for the inspiration!
