Meow you!

February 1st, 2008

Meow, it’s February, the month where cats need to buy packs of Grand Tom, the cats’ condoms, with scent of Jerry and taste of Mickey. In other words: there will be hardcore soft catpornography everywhere.

First of all, I guess you saw this coming, but HA-HA! What goes around, comes around. But it’s weird that it happened less than two days after I’ve written my über-angry entry. In ya face, Yahoo! Or am I stealing their author rights because I used an exlamation mark?

It’s the time to look back at January 2008. Oh my, what a month! What a, what a great, amazing month, what a good start to what’s hopefully going to be an OK, trouble-free year (the last of which is pretty much needed, as every year from 2004 on was too turbulent and too stressful). Let’s just say that it was my best month from April 2004 on, with the honourable exception of December 2006, the brightest star that’s ever existed on my sky map.

The only things I didn’t like this month are related to three of my friends: B, L. and partly *. Lack of correspondence with them has been annoying and I love all three of them.

Oh yes, I also don’t like noticing that all the fat went to the space under my waist and above my hips and realising that I’ll have to do some exercise to get rid of that as it looks funny, given that the rest of me is in OK shape. But then again, Jennifer Love-Hewitt is a proof that one can look OK with a wee bit of extra-weight on one single body part.

If I don’t talk about those two things and politics, where I hope things will be fine, everything else about January was like sailing on a peaceful sea after getting used to a living in a storm. From the New Year’s Eve and how we got into the year by symbolically watching the event that defined 2007 on TV, until my slava yesterday, I don’t have to complain about anything. But mostly, it’s about babies.

Two of my online friends had babies in January 2008. Inge gave birth to Axl and Trish gave birth to Ian. Two of my real-life friends, people I basically grew up with, a girl who was like my older sister at some point and the girlfriend of her brother who was also like my older brother are expecting babies in May and June. The girl’s baby will be a baby boy and the gender of the other one is unknown as of yet, but I hope it’s a girl. Imagine how amazing it would be, especially considering that both of the new families together with grandparents are living in one big, big house next door. My cousin’s wife will give birth to their third child in July, as well and I hope it will be a baby boy because she already has twin girls.

The highlight of the month would, however, be my weekend with Sombor, spent with my amazing friend Maja and her wonderful mother and cute little brother; hanging out with and seeing the concert of our friend Robert’s band, Wicked Coffee Shoppers. We had such a good time. I hope it repeats, many times. Then there are of course the evenings spent at Milica’s place in Železnik, with her cat, Njušković purring next to us, and early afternoons with Mira, living part in early 90s and part in now; which lead to re-discovering my responsibility and neatness of the past through someone who was like that all their life long. It’s simple: I figured out that, by putting myself together and (trying to) being neat and organised, I could be less stressed, more helpful and have more time for things that really matter. But I won’t be overdoing it. ^_^

For February 2008, I have a lot of hopes. I want to push some work-related projects forward, start studying because this uni won’t finish itself someday (although I’d love it), attend a work excursion and…there’s probably more, but hey, it’s been a good start to 2008. I also want to solve things with *, L and B, though something tells me that * and L are not angry or wanting to forget me, just in lurve. Speaking of that, perhaps I should send them Valentine’s Day cards?

I want to spend as much time as possible with my girls, and that includes my fourth close friend, Sofija (known for weird schedule) as well. So, guess I’ll be trying to wake up earlier in future. I’d also love to hang out with my friend Goran a bit more, as long as his new GF isn’t jealous of his friends.

I will post an extended version of this story onto my LiveJournal, if I get a chance.

    Hopefully everything will go smoother from now on. Hopefully your quarter life crisis as I call it is over and from here on it’s all gonna be peaceful, tranquil waters! :)

    I have a couple babies coming this summer too. In May and June! The May baby is a boy and the other one is currently unknown. How crazy is that haha.

    I should really follow your example and update my website. I totally love the current look of yours, it’s amazing!

    Right now, I’m in a bit of a rough time. I caught a bad cold last Monday and right now, all I can do is cough all the time. I also lost my voice. It makes school a bit harder because well, it’s hard to work when you feel like crap and when people can barely understand what you say. But well, I’ll survive.

    So I guess I should do what I said earlier and go work on some stuff. I’m too sick to study anything anyway. Oh and talking about studying, I haven’t had the result of my exam yet, we are anxiously waiting for it to arrive in the next week.
    Talk to you soon!

    I can’t believe it’s been a month of 2008 already…it seems like yesterday that I was just commenting on people’s sites saying “Happy New Year!” haha.
