Well I did my Christmas shopping today, and for some reason now I am utterly depressed as a result. I guess it is because it looks like I will be alone for Christmas, and these Germans like to rub the whole thing in as being a family event. It is weird though, I don't really celebrate Christmas, but I think it is the fact I will be away from my family.

I might organise a christmas day lunch at a friend's dormitory and run the kitchen for the day. It would give me something to do and some company for Christmas.

I got the nicest pair of earrings for my former-girlfriend-who-I-am-not-with-but-only-because-we-are-in-different-countries-and-so-we-are-single today. Pearl with cut crystals (I think Swarovskis). I hope I can work out how to send registered post from Germany. I would hate to lose them in the post. They cost more than the combined amount of all the other presents I bought. I guess I am just an incurable romantic sometimes.

Anyway, I better go prepare the first of the two seminars I am presenting next week. Does anybody know about temperature dependent models for the trapping of positrons in semiconductor materials? How about reconstruction techniques for determining the invariant mass of the neutral pion particle? Damn.

i could probably make earrings similar - i've gotten a penchant for making my own earrings in the past few months and I'm developing quite a collection!

hmmmm.... can't help you on that sciency sounding stuff :P

Just got back from a hiking trip in the Eifel "mountains" (more like hills with valleys and rivers). Snow on the ground all day, below zero temperatures, and a missed bus led to about 18km of walking, and we didn't even make it to the Erft lake that we wanted to visit. Still very pretty though. I wish there had been some mountains to climb though, it is just not a hike without a big mountain to struggle up.

As a result I have totally squandered my chances to get any work done today. Oh well, there is always tomorrow...

Off to make some dinner.

(And choc, you wouldn't believe the number of times I have heard that, always from non-single people. It drives me bonkers.)

Heh it looks like my mention of hairiness got choc quite excited.

My housemate can't stop with the "I'm so happy" with her new boyfriend, it's sweet and I want to be happy for her but I really can't.

Right now I just feel so inadequete/shit about my singularity and I just want to say Im happy for her, but I can't because Im too down to be happy for anyone. I mean I know its a good thing but I can't even smile right now. Because no one likes me or ever has and its starting to really get to me. I mean actually destroying me. Because I feel that inadequete compaired to EVERY OTHER PERSON MY AGE WHO I KNOW. Who seems to have someone else or have at least had a relationship or two. Right now Im getting thoughts I havent had in about 4 years and they arent healthy. But theres nothing I can do, because I dont feel like I can confide in anyone.

I think Im going for a walk to clear my head.

Probably to uni to log on to the puters there. I dunno.

It's the only way I can stop myself from doing something stupid. :(

I really seem to have had a mood swing. Its been happening a lot lately...

Mate,

before my recent relationship here in Germany, I hadn't had a girlfriend since High School, and all things considered I spent most of my time trying to extricate myself from it. That was four years ago. In the interim I went through what you are going through now, beating myself up about being single, searching myself for answers, and to no avail because there was nothing wrong with me, just as there is nothing wrong with you. It is just that life sometimes deals a bum hand for a bit, which sucks, but you just have to stick it out and wait for the next thing to come along.

I can't give you any advice on changing your situation, because if I could, I wouldn't be single myself. But don't eat yourself up about it, that will just make you feel worse. Having a relationship going on next door doesn't help either (I know what that is like), but if it becomes too much, just take a walk, get some air, have a beer. Just hang in there, and if it is really getting you down, everyone here can cheer you up.

Stay cool.


My random thought - I hope I get my seminars done this week. Then I can relax and party.

Damn server error double posting. I guess I will have to add a new random thought:

What do you mean by technically?

It's a long story. Possiby best explained in point form
1. We've been close freinds for about 3 years - both absolutely nuts - love the same movies and stuff ...

2. He asked me out. I said no - was still getting over someone who hurt me badly, not only that, but the friendship was something I needed.

3. We're still close, spend loads of time together - everyone thinks we're together but we're not.

4. It's just hard to figure out exactly where anything stands. We aren't going out. That's pretty certain.

So yeah. I'm not technically taken. I'm still single.
