Qutie well, I'm trying to stick up with the current freinds I have but they appear to be changing too fast*. I've asked them to slow down and we're togather again... I guess I'd be pretty sad without them. * = One thing that troubles me. It seems in the USA, drugs are out of fasion now rich kids use illegal hormone pills. It absolutely terrified me to learn that a male friend of mine has been taking estrogen (female sexual hormone) pills just for fun... I hoped at least people were proud enough of their gender to keep it when they had the best of it - guess not. > We are doing good. > I'm just now wrapping presents for 'Sinterklaas', which is somewhat like the > Xmas celebrations, only it starts earlier and is mostly for children.

I mean the presents are there then, for other holidays there are only greeting cards (not much fun). But lately it seems, I have took out on my own, took time for myself and seen so many wonders so close around me, that everybody could see every day if they had the willpower to check it out... the holidays themselves don't seem much special anymore - it's the world around me I find so wonderfull at those times... Just before yesterday, it was nearly night (well 4.30 PM actualy) and I went on a walk, I stood up on the top of the hill looking down at the city all full of little lights - the colourfull lights symbolicaly hanging on the branches nearby were nice, but nothing as wonderfull as the city looked... The most beautiful was of course still waiting for me, just behind the corner, where it looked dark to other people, it seemed as bright as day when I stood there however; small trees, you know those with curly little branches; and so dense... a nightmare to some, a home to me. I love that place. > How is the computerbusiness going? Are you busy? Well I could hardly say busy, but I have other things on my mind, yes. It is finnaly showing just how much effort did I put into that, now that my coworker has to catch up. ;] It appears to be going great however. > This afternoon, since many months, I actually have a few loose hours to > spent.

I've been reading a really depressive book about life by one of the great Slovene writers and that kindof made me sad of what life is like. But when one tells the real truth, it's so much nicer. Thanx for making me feel better. And Robin, yes. I hope he gets the fun he wants. ;] Best wishes to all of you for the holidays tho. I won't forget to send them out when the holidays really begin. > It is actually a funny painting.

I've been learning the various forms of art myself. Impresionism: "Impressing the observer with the immage, creating a specific thought in his mind." It's sometimes neat to create a piece of art and then hide so many diffirent layers of artistic meaning in it. I've written a few such poems... none of them English tho. It requires a well thought plan first and then the talent and skill to make it into reality. > OK AKA, just wanted to know how you are doing. > I guess I'm going to work on my painting now.
