Depends on which finger.

I'm ornery, today, can you tell?

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 09:48 AM

Perhaps I can, if I can be bothered to take out the dictionary and look up the word "ornery"...

I don't know which finger it is actually, they are all the same length. Almost the length of my middle finger.

EDIT: looked it up... no, I didn't notice. Want a hug?

I'm not personally trying to get anything from the EU...I have no voting rights and no investment in it.

I just think it's rather interesting and I enjoy learning about it.

Seems a pity to get tips on lobbying and not ask for anything.

Mari, where's your mace? stupid rule.

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 11:00 AM

If I couldn't get a scholarship to study in England, then I don't want a foreigner to get one either

I agree with you, the EU is fascinating.

I still have the vague hope I get to work for the Dutch government or the EU or UN.

*hands Sis her mace* Be my guest!

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-31-2008, 11:03 AM

*bashes rule enthusiastically*
STUPID

STUPID

STUPID!

Thanks. I feel a bit better. *hands mace back*

And you know what? The countdown, while, I admit, kinda handy, is like a condescending head waiter who recommends another restaurant because he doesn't like your shoes.

Curufin · 03-31-2008, 11:04 AM

Working for the US Permanent Mission to the EU is one of my dreams, as well...maybe I'll see you around some day.

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 11:05 AM

*takes mace* Thank you! That must have felt good! It looked good too

Cthulhu rocks. Got to see a whole bunch of Cthulhu themed stuff at sakura con. I must thank Ian for dragging me along. It was fun.

Nautipus · 03-31-2008, 11:21 AM

Sakura con, huh? Is there a website?

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 03-31-2008, 11:59 AM

*Walks in* Ello,ello! What's all this then?

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 12:05 PM

What's all what? Want a cinnamon finger? (before I eat them all myself

)

Why thank you Mari!

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 12:14 PM

No pro, enjoy it.

Oh yeah, dinner is good *does a happy dance*
You know, I'm gonna have to kick myself out of this place for tonight me thinks. I already did some work, but I should do some more. *pondering look*

Mari ponders work.

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 12:50 PM

Neu~oohw, I ponder the amount of work I'm supposed to do.

I really have to finish that stupid thesis preferably by the end of this month

Which reminds me... shouldn't forget that I have the night shift tomorrow... >_<

I absolutely loathe flying, for that very reason, that it is so dull, and tedious, and uncomfortable, as often as not. There is only one reason I would submit myself to the indignity of flying; and that is to get to places.

Travelling - I've been (other than the US, where I was born and raised) three times to Ireland, including the last time, where I've lived there since September, to Canada, to England where I visited Birmingham, Oxford, and Bath (over Christmas, which I spent in Burbage, Hinkley), France (Paris) and now Belgium. Oh, and I spent about three hours in the Netherlands.

I've only been here a little more than a day, but I'm really impressed by Belgium. I'm actually in Flanders, so they speak Flemish here, which I'm clueless about. I can get by in French...but don't even know where to start with Flemish. It's a bit distressing.

I love travel too, though. It's totally addictive. There are so many other places I want to see!

I've lived in Russia and Portugal; also briefly been in France (for one night, popped over the border and stayed in a bed and breakfast in a small town), Finland (for visas), southern Germany, Spain (again, for visas), Israel, England, Switzerland (even briefer than my stay in France!) . I love travel so much.

Well, not TRAVEL, as I said above, but being in different places.
