party, party and party some more...!

Wauw what a weekend.. On friday we had this cocktail party at Alard's place.. Almost everyone dressed up really nice.. Guys look so handsome in suits ;) And everyone brought cocktails ofcourse! Really tooooo much hehehe. I think with all the booze that is left we can throw another party :) Not sure whether I will put the pictures on my picassaweb account, apparently some of the pictures were quite shocking (not to me, but maybe because I was on them and know that nothing special was happening hahaha).

(..and some days later..)
Poeh, old news already, it's almost weekend again! Hehe I'm sooo slow..

Last sunday we were supposed to go walking with some people from work.. But because there was a 90% chance on rain we decided to do it some other time. Instead of that we went to have lunch at the NOT-Coffeelovers aka the Cubico. Mart, Alard, Marin and me were the only ones of the walkinggroup there, but it was nice! At Cubico's they have "italian" dishes, with italian names, because it is supposed to be hip. But when I asked the waitress about the cioccolato on the menu, asking whether it was real italian cioccolato, made from chocolate and nót chocolatemilk and she comfirmed this and came back with two... yes.... chocolatemilks.. I was kind of disappointed (a lot hahahaha). Then we went to Floor's concert with the university orchestra. Marin and I took Alard along, because I made an extra reservation, just in case. It was a really nice concert, the childrens matinee. Which made it also more interesting for the "big kids" hehe. I really like seeing people play their instrument live, so ofcourse it's great to see and hear a talented friend play ;). Afterwards the four of us went to Alard to pick up some stuff from the party and stayed there, drank tea, made some nice improvised food, drank wine, had nice discussions and to top it off went to Michael's birthdayparty to drink whiskey and discuss some more.. :)
I couldn't have spend my weekend better.. hanging around with the people you like, having crazy and serious discussions, getting wasted, don't sleep all night, dance, being close, taking pictures, laugh your heart out..

Too bad that there are mondays then again ;)

getting frustrated

I wonder why my issues become too often some elses issues? It makes me stop talking to people. And I wasn't so talkative to those I don't know so well to begin with.. I mean, today someone came up to me and asked me something very private and I am not even friends with this person. She asked me something I didn't even talk about yet with some of my closest friends because I didn't want to. I didn't want to make it their issues and I have a lot to think about myself, so sometimes letting thoughts wonder in your own mind is better than asking everyone's opinion about it. So what gives anyone the right to ask me this, when they don't even want to know because their care, but just so that they can talk about it with others??
(..some sleep later..)
Pfiew, did I have some fights yesterday! I really, really don't like to fight, but sometimes you just have to, to make your point clear (in one I succeeded, in the other not really I guess). And it is good to clear the air and see that both you and the other didn't mean it so bad. I got a cute little plant from the one who violated my privacy yesterday, so that was really nice.. I think I made my point, that I don't really give a shit about people talking about me behind my back, as long as I don't have to hear it. And that I don't appreciate to have to answer questions about my personal life to people who don't have anything to do with it.. And the other fight was just one about stubbornness and insecurity and miscommunications and a history that keeps running in my mind.. But today, after some nice Baileys with Anne yesterday, I feel so much better and lighter and happier than I have felt before in the last couple of weeks..
Let's see how long it will last whahaha.
No, but I think I realised yesterday that it is not always bad to talk with others about how you feel. I just don't want to talk about it too much, because I already have talked about it so much for the last year that I now just want some quietness and a little bit of peace in my mind as far as that is possible. Just to let things be for now..
Life will run it's own course..
