In Šilo, Krk

Here I am, in Šilo, Krk. It's almost 11pm of my second day here and I'm lying on my bed with the TV on. Nikolina is in the kitchen, probably sleeping already. We were at Punta Šilo for a while, drinking beer and just watching the motherland across the hum of the waves in a summer night. When I say we, I mean Nikolina, my BFF, and and my room mate and colleauge Romana. She's a... vivacious girl. Maybe a tad to much for my taste. I especially didn't appreciate waking up in the middle of the night to the sight of her with my cell phone in her hand. I mean, c'mon! But apparently she'd left her own in the cafe and was only trying to set the alarm on my cell for the morning. Uwkey. My boss didn't seem to happy with the whole incident even though I told it like an amusing anecdote with her right there, and not like an incredible invasion on my privacy while I was sleeping. By someone I'd only met a few hours ago. I'm hoping it's not gonna happen again. I'm willing to give her a benefit of the doubt.

Tomorrow I'll be working my first shift in the afternoon. I'm kinda scared cuz I haven't been working in a very long time but I guess it'll work out. Gawd, I hope it will. I'll let you know.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiederesehen, Goodbye...

I guess this is going to be my last post for a while. A while being a month or a few days, who knows.

I don't know why this feels like such an end. Probably because I feel I won't find many of you when I return. I know 2 months isn't an eternity but suddenly this virtual world I've created for myself seems to be so fragile. Parts of it are already slipping out of my hands. Sands of time, I guess.

First and foremost, Wet For Went has been shut down as of two days ago. WFW has been planning to shut it down for a while now and then originally intended to do so on July 1, but since I'll have been gone by that time, she did it a little earlier so I could say my goodbyes. I'm grateful for it because I've made friends there. Real friends who will hopefully remain being a part of my life regardless of the blog, even though I'm pretty sure the odds are against it.

FCoWM has been closed for a while now. Well, not closed entirely, there's a private section for a handful of us, and the plan is for it to be reopened when I return. They want me to take over and I'm so flattered, you can't even imagine. The Church holds a very special place in my heart, but I don't really know if I'd be able to do it justice nor do I know if there'll still be the need for it in 2 months.

My fellow bloggers have stopped blogging, one by one, with the exception of Darth.
I've made some new... acquaintances, I guess, at LJ, but fun as they are, they won't be able to replace you guys.

I'm not saying I'll stop blogging. I've kept a journal for almost as long as I can remember and I'm not gonna stop now. I have the need to write, you know? I have to get the words out of my system. I just don't think anyove would be here to read them. But it's OK, people move on.

I guess what I'm trying ot say is: this might be a goodbye. Not necessarily, but if it is, I hope you had fun. I know I did, and I'll cherish you, my dear friends, forever.

Enjoy your summer and see you around. *fingers crossed*

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

So I passed the first part of the exam LAST YEAR, I just couldn't pass the second part for like... FOREVER. And now... Now I pass the SECOND part and they tell me they've lost the FIRST PART! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Seriously. It's fucked up beyond belief. When will I ever pass a Croatian exam? WHEN??!

ETA:
All sorted out! C, baby, C! Woot!

Village Fair

Oh man. So June 24 is the day of our village and municipality (I'm an awesome translator with wide vocabulary, that's why this explanation rocks so much). There's sports tournaments, cooking contests, folk dancing, some fair rides, plays... stuff like that in days before and after. Last night was the main event night (lol, don't think anything fancy) so this band played and I DANCED at the well lit concrete football pitch in front of the stage with tons of my fellow villagers. It. Was. Awesome.

At first we were sitting at the nearby restaurant drinking and then I said I wanted to go to the pitch so we went and then I kinda danced a little, you know, in one place, tapping foot, swaying hips a little, singing along...
Then we got hungry and went to the centre only to find our fave fast food joint closed. But the woman was still inside, cleaning up, and when she saw Sonja and me peering at the door she unlocked it and let us in. Burgers at 11pm, baby! Nothing like it. So we're inside, in the dark, waiting for the burgers when two boys come to the door. Of course, now they want in too so the woman tells us to unlock the door and let them in as well. Two minutes later another two guys come along and before you know it, the place is packed. LOLOLOL We get our burgers and head back around 11.15 or so.
As we returned to the pitch, we got us some beer and sat down. Then this friend comes along and pulls me up to dance and then I get Sonja up too and I dance and dance and dance till I think my new precious Ipanemas will get torn. And then I dance some more. The cowboy dance and the duck dance and all the dances in between. I dance and dance and dance till I think I will drop to the ground. And then I dance some more and I dance like nobody's watching. I had an awesome time.
And as we're going home, around 12.30, there's still a queue of people in front of the fast food place.

I'm So Gonna Miss You, Guys

I know, I know, I said it before, but look what just came in the mail today:



Wanna hear what it says? Sure you do.

To my dearest Kristina,
Wherefore must thou abandon me and the Internets?
The pending Dark Ages will be a trying time for us both.
My only solace is that if I can't have you,
neither can anyone else
(till you get back).

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! *dies a little*
See? See why I'll be missing my virtual friends? Cuz they're REAL and they care and I love them.

Maichan, I love you and thank you so much! It's going up on my postcard wall, of course. :)
