Mmmm...

I must've done something terribly wrong since all my links went down the drain, to the bottom of the page :( . Am I such a bad person that everyone and everything must run away from me? :))))

HELP!!!

Mine

When you write an argumentative essay about the utility of blogs for your French class, you know you have a problem. The first step is accepting it; second step: getting rid of it :D .
My blog shouldn't be on any blogroll; I never write about politics (ok, I wrote one or two posts, if you can call that "politics"), I wouldn't have anything else to say but "I can't stand them, but what choice do I have?"... lame; I don't post movies from youtube: don't know how and wouldn't have a reason to do it, all other bloggers do it so much better; I don't analyze the evolution of a certain phenomena: hey, I can hardly find discussion subjects for my conversations, why would I write it all here :)) ? So, what do I do? I just come here when I feel the need to say something... to myself, that is. Not a very good way of doing it, I'm aware of that, but let's just say I'm not too good with shutting my mouth when it comes to me... I need to express my thoughts, when I have them, and my feelings, when I take them into consideration (funny thing: by mistake I wrote "faalings"... interesting, isn't it? ha, ha, ha!).
I don't want to write thinking "what will anyone who might happen to read my blog think?". Haven't done it before, why start now? Actually, at some point I was thinking about writing posts having the theme "Why do we love men?"... but then I got bored and didn't feel like it anymore. Hmmm... I might write about that now... let's see... lol.
These being said: this is not a "bomb" blog, if you haven't noticed just yet. Not an informative one, either. It's just mine, ok? Just to make sure and to have my conscience clear :) .

Peace

Such a nice evening! So many answers and so many more things I have yet to learn! I find it amazing how two apparently simple occurrences can bring me so much joy, so much peace! I don't believe in coincidences... maybe I should, it would make life so much easier... but I just can't, not right now.
Thanks to Arhiduke, I discovered Lifelessions... or did she find me, knowing, in her wisdom, that I needed a "guide"? The moment was perfect...

Ta na nam!!!

I've just discovered (on my own, I might add, although it was by chance :)) ) how to insert links in a text. I'll even prove it to you :D.
This is MI's blog (I'm thinking that maybe I should've put the link under "this"... but I like it better this way). He doesn't write very often, but you're always sure to find extremely interesting posts once you go there (not that there would be anyone who reads my blog and doesn't know about his :) ). You have high chances of discovering precious info about Google, about different concerts and even some posts about the author himself - those are the best ones ;) . MI is the one who helped me start this blog (and not only), so if you have any complaints you should go to him and leave me alone, since I'm just an innocent victim :P. What can I say? Whatever I may write here won't do him justice. MI's blog is my cup of coffee in the morning.
LIGHTNING is what I would call a pioneer among bloggers :P . He doesn't even dream of being perfect, so you should leave a few comments letting him know he's getting there :P . You'll read some pretty objective articles and profound poems on his site... not to mention the photos you might see :P ! This was the first blog I had ever read... LIGHTNING knows a bit about advertising :) .
Badjoke? Except for the fact that I'm tired of seeing that post about Anna Lesko :) , I have nothing to complain about. I still visit his site almost every day and still hope that he'll post more often than once a month :P . I enjoy the humour with which he narrates different episodes from his life and I love the fact that most of his posts are filed under "Aberatii" - that's my kind of person :) !
From the way he writes, I can imagine LittleBro to be very serious at times, but I can tell he knows how to have fun when the time is right. His style is unique (as is everyone else's :P ). Pertinent comments to interesting articles, funny conclusions he draws from facts or events others wouldn't even pay attention to, and some nice movies... these are only some of the aspects that make LittleBro's blog an attraction :) .
Nicole... my sister in pain :) ! Her blog reflects exactly what her short characterization states: "A sensitive person". She makes me remember some old songs I used to like and she enjoys writing about different current issues or just about her feelings, many times by using charming metaphors. We might have different points of view at times, but that's what makes her blog that much more appealing.
Now put your hands together for Arhiduke :), the one who made me grow white hairs because of the many times he moved his blog. I desperately hope this is the last one. You just have to read his blog... there's something for everyone... except for those of you who are at work or at school. Under any circumstances, DO NOT access his blog until you get home or someplace safe!!! Arhiduke has a very straight-forward style, which I actually like a lot... even when he steps on my tail :P . How could I forget mentioning that he took me under his wing and always tries to get me to register my blog to different sites?
I'm now listening to "It's a Wonderful Life" (hope that's the title), so I feel inspired to say: "this is a wonderful blogroll" :) .

Something that made me laugh wholeheartedly (don't you just love this word :P ?):

Popularity ranking:
Your website is ranked 19 in the world. This is excellent and shows you have an exceptionally popular website.


I had no idea that my website was so great! Those who are reading the intelligent and amazingly interesting things I post here should be eternally grateful for having the honour to view these pages. Ha, ha, ha! I actually needed something to spice up my day :)))))))))). What I don't understand is, if I have such a great blog, why did they only give me a 7? Pffff, this jealousy thing!!!

Oh, yes: this is the wonderful site that was able to recognize my value :P :

The source is, again, LittleBro.

Idei preconcepute?

La ora asta ar trebui sa termin de citit "Paludes", de André Gide, dar cum lenea si-a facut din nou simtita prezenta (o influenta puternica asupra starii mele are si faptul ca este in limba franceza), am rasfoit cateva blog-uri pe care n-am mai mai poposit pana acum. Am dat de cel al lui zoso, printr-un link de la LittleBro (nu ca LIGHTNING nu l-ar avea, pare a fi un blog foarte popular :) ). Interesant, amuzant, uneori stresant (putin, putintel)... e placut sa-l citesti. Mi-a atras atentia in mod deosebit un post de pe pagina a doua, intitulat axe click, din care am aflat faptul ca Axe e "parfum de tarani". S-a nimerit ca mie sa-mi placa foarte mult Axe, dar chiar nu m-am simtit vreodata taranca din cauza asta (am I in denial? :P ). Nu cred ca voi intelege vreodata pe ce ne bazam cand facem distinctia intre un parfum de tarani si unul de domni, de exemplu. Atata vreme cat cel care-l foloseste face dus in fiecare zi si nu altereaza parfumul cu miasme personale, nu vad nicio problema in a folosi Axe, Denim, Brut, Old Spice sau mai stiu eu ce alt deodorant ii este pe plac. Mi se pare ca acest mod de gandire are legatura cu nasucul unora, intr-adevar, dar nu in ceea ce priveste sensibilitatea, ci altitudinea sa ;). E posibil sa ma insel, evident, si chiar sper sa fie asa.
Postul lui zoso m-a dus cu gandul la cele 8 luni petrecute de mine in Romania in perioada 2003-2004 (nu c-ar avea vreo importanta anii). Chiar daca fusesem avertizata ca nu ar trebui sa spun chiar tot ce am facut eu pe-aici si prin State, eu am hotarat sa spun adevarul, fiind chiar revoltata la gandul ca cineva ar putea avea ceva impotriva diferitelor mele job-uri. Si asa incepu Mirela sa raspunda intrebarii primite de la fiecare cunostinta revazuta, si-anume "Ce faci acolo?", prin a spune ca in New York a muncit in restaurante, iar in Montreal a cules capsuni pentru o vara si acum face curat in case (mi se promisese ca voi avea postul asigurat la intoarcere, deci, teoretic, inca lucram acolo). De la cuvantul "cules" fetele interlocutorilor capatau trasaturi de balada: ochii se mareau, narile vibrau, chipul se-nrosea, mana tremura. Unii erau jenati, nestiind ce replica sa-mi dea si gandindu-se la rusinea adusa familiei :)))), altii chiar ma intrebau cum am putut sa las Romania pentru asa ceva? Dupa cateva experimente de acest gen am devenit mai rezervata, bagam la inaintare faptul c-am lucrat secretara + un fel de contabila intr-un restaurant. Este adevarat ca au fost catorva persoane carora le-am spus cu o placere sadica cu ce m-am ocupat :D . Buuuun, trecem si peste asta.
In Romania nu puteam lucra, deh, n-aveam una, n-aveam alta. Am dat cateva meditatii unor fete deosebite care mi-au ramas foarte dragi. Si totusi, ma plictiseam, nu pot sa stau chiar degeaba. Asa ca mi-a dat prin cap sa ma angajez la tarabe numai ca sa treaca timpul mai usor. Mama, saraca, ar fi vrut sa ma vada afara din casa (in sensul bun, evident), sa am o ocupatie si sa nu mai plang dupa micul meu. Stia ca m-as simti bine sa fac asta, cand eram mica si aveam gradina mergeam cu trei legaturi de ceapa si doua de marar la piata, sa le vand, atat de mult imi placea. Dar imediat a aparut problema "ce-ar spune lumea?". Am impartasit ideea mea catorva persoane si reactia lor m-a convins (din pacate): "Eeee, nu se poate, de ce sa mergi acolo, stai prost cu banii?" sau: "Mirela, te vede lumea, te cunosc atatia (unde era V.I.P.-ul!!), o sa te vorbeasca." Am renuntat la gandul de-a vinde la tarabe, dar tot m-am angajat la o mica sala de Internet. Si pe-acolo au trecut cunoscuti: unii au fost bucurosi sa ma revada si nu s-au preocupat de altceva, altii se cam minunau de "serviciul" meu, dar deja nu imi mai pasa. Intr-o zi a venit un domn in varsta care m-a rugat sa-i transcriu ceva si cat a stat acolo m-a pisat la cap: "Vezi, daca faceai facultate, nu ajungeai sa lucrezi aici!" si alte lucruri de genul asta. Nu m-am obosit sa-i povestesc viata mea, doar am tastat cat de repede am putut ca sa plece odata :P.
Un ultim lucru: nestiind franceza, cand m-am intors in Montreal m-am angajat la un magazin cu produse de $1. Romanii se uitau cam ciudat la mine, dar majoritatea nu spunea nimic enervant, aceptam comentariile cu un zambet si-o eventuala ridicare din umeri. Am retinut o doamna care s-a apucat sa-mi planga de mila: "Vai, mama, aici ai ajuns sa lucrezi?! Pentru asta ai plecat din Romania?". Atunci eram deja studenta, asa ca n-am mai suportat: "Doamna, sunt studenta la Concordia, aici muncesc part-time." (ma simt cam prost c-am facut asta, dar, deh, eram mandra ca doar ce fusesem acceptata). "Oooo, asa da, bravo!" I s-a luminat instantaneu chipul :P. Au mai existat destule incidente de acest gen, dar postul acesta e, din nou, mult prea lung.
Am pornit de la blog-ul lui zoso... am ajuns aici. Nu vreau sa fac alte comentarii, e deja prea mult si cred ca se intelege care este opinia mea din ceea ce-am scris mai sus.

P.S. Daca tot am vorbit despre blog-ul lui zoso: http://zoso.rockmania.net/
