Job center here in Portugal, as usual, sent me a letter to go there just to check some info. I received the letter the very same day I was supposed to be there. Of course I had no opportunity to go there.
I sent an email explaining why I didn’t go there. Their reply was something like “You’ve got 5 days to come here and justify why you didn’t come”.
Seriously?!! I already explained in the email why I didn’t go there!! How about this: start sending the letters with time! I don’t live in the town where the job center is. I need to waste money, yes waste money, to go there by train or bus. I won’t waste more money just going there to explain something I already explained in the email I sent.
Fucking unbelievable!

Sometimes I really want to dye my hair blonde but then I think:
- My skin tone (it can be slightly pale during winter but when summer comes it’s hard to maintain that pale, it always gets a slight tan);
- My natural hair colour which is dark brown, not so easy to go from there to blonde;
- Healthy hair which I’m afraid of ruining it. Every time I go to the hairdresser they always compliment how healthy my hair is. I don’t want to lose that.
Bang.
I can accept the division people make about the physical differences between woman and man. I just cannot accept is the division people insist on doing about the psychological differences between woman and man. That woman behave this way, man behave this other way and that’s it. I could go on for a long time about this but i’ll just tell in a short: it’s a big big bullshit. Every single person behavior is different. If you want to divide into woman and man, fine. But then you’ll have to accept its big bullshit, consequences, mistakes of it. Because in the end, it’s bullshit to do it.

are you listening?: the ellipsis.
We need to talk about the misuse/abuse of the ellipsis in certain situations. Because here’s the thing, if you use an ellipsis after a sentence that in no way warrants it (i.e, there is not a second part to your statement), whatever you said is going to sound about 10x creepier than you intended.
Examples:
“Let’s hang out.” vs “Let’s hang out…”
“Thanks.” vs “Thanks…”
“I saw you yesterday.” vs “I saw you yesterday…”
“Hey gorgeous.” vs “Hey gorgeous…”
Whenever I see someone say things of this nature, I can’t help but ruminate on their potential future as a serial killer. Are you looking for a specific answer? Did you even mean that? Are those three, mysterious periods supposed to arouse my curiosity? I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to ask you to stop texting me because you’re actually creeping me the fuck out.

True. It annoys me that people badly use it. Ellipsis, quoting wikipedia, “indicate an intentional omission of a word in the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis). When placed at the end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing.”. Now, when people use in the end of simple sentences that have got no continuation, i start to think:
1) the person is annoyed/pissed of with me, what the hell I did wrong?!
2) the person isn’t interessed at all about what we are talking
3) i stare at the sentence trying to figure out what is the unfinished thought and what am i missing
Please use the three points properly. It will probably avoid some (probably many!) misunderstandings.
Going to walk outside and drink some coffee.
Acho que estou a ficar especializada em evitar ataques de pânico. Hoje até foi um bom dia: tirei fotografias, estudei finlandês (outra vez do início), parece que Sigur Rós vão estar durante este ano no estúdio (espero que não seja um rumor mas parece que não) e vi uma parte dos extra do dvd do Forrest Gump que achei ontem no supermercado. No entanto devo ter dormido 3 ou 4 horas, e agora estou a ir completamente abaixo mas ainda não me apetece ir para a cama.
