![]() ABBA--- I still am not over blaming ABBA for me getting a B on my German final in 11th grade. You see, a friend of mine was "in love" with this dumb boy who had brown eyes. And he didn't like her back. She was obsessed, and kept playing ABBA songs over and over. There was one (and I've totally and utterly blocked out which one it was) she specifically related to this kid. She sang it constantly. She played it on repeat in her car. It was all I heard for a month. It went through my mind constantly. It drove me *crazy.* So, come finals day, I couldn't get that song out of my head enough to conjugate verbs and whatever else I had to do. Therefore, a B. Coming from a straight A student, OH the shame.... |

I grew up with two much older brothers who were into punk music, a dad who was into blues/motown, a mum who was into Black Sabatth/Free/The Small Faces and an aunt who lived with us who was a massive Commodores/Barry Manilow fan. My little sister's favourite music, being only little, was the sound of the hoover (vacuum cleaner) which she used to dance to ![]() And I wonder why my musical tastes are so messed up ![]() Oh, and I celebrate every day that I grew up in such a weird and musically diverse household. |

(sweet fuzzy squirrels on a cracker, what was i thinking ??? note to self : in future, don't even allude to such aural offenses as she-who-must-no-longer-be-named. it'll only give him ideas. and nothing's more dangerous than an idea !)

HALLELUJA !!!!!!
my best client just called me for our annual project. i was not counting on working for him this year because last year he told me there was a good chance he would not be running the project, and his replacement might not be in paris. it turns out that he is still running the project though so we'll be working together again. they are the only client i have who never complains about the price, pays me the correct tarif, and if the project goes longer than planned (it almost always does) they pay me the extra days i work. plus, we've been working together for 4 years already and we make a good team, and he's a very good person to work with, very organised, and although the project itself stresses him out quite a lot (deadlines and such) he is very nice with me, doesn't care what time i start in the morning because he knows i'll get the work done even if i have to stay late in the evening, doesn't look over my shoulder, and is a friendly guy. given how slow business has been lately this is the best news i have had in months !!!! wow, suddenly i feel SO MUCH BETTER !!!!!!!! i won't be starting the project until the end of june and i hope to get some other projects before then but this really takes a huge weight off my chest ! |
