What is it with old men coming to talk to me in the park? I mean, I'm just sitting there daydreaming and eating ice scream and suddenly some old man comes over to sit next to me, talk to me that informationally so very burdened small talk and then ask me if he could come over to my place for a cup of coffee. This has happened four times this summer!
So, what is it? Is it that they are really, REALLY lonely or what the hell is this kind of behaviour? And most importantly: how to avoid it?
The same jehova from a month or two back returned (you know, the subject of the Black hole/Singularity rant). This time he brought his daughter.
HE BROUGHT HIS SOON 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WITH HIM TO HIS CONVERSIONS!!! I mean, by all this good and respectable, she should have been playing! It's summer, for fuck's sake! She looked so bored...
There are some things about religion that make me furious but only a couple make me reach my boiling point in seconds. One of them is the child abuse, the brainwash, that we call "bringing up to the parent's belief system". Fuck!!! They take a child, an empty canvas, and smudge it with double standards, prejudices and believes that makes independency, critical thinking and education bad, immoral things. AND THESE PEOPLE CLAIM A COPYRIGHT TO HIGHER MORAL STANDARDS!!!
I am disgusted. All I can do is hope that little girl grows to appreciate her uniqueness and strength and find happiness beyond the limits set by her parents.
It's... so... hot...
So hot and no wind to speak of... I need the wind back... wind... WIND!!!
Why does this keep happening to me?! Why do I always find out about something interesting somewhere else right at the last minute so I don't have time to adjust and plan everything in advance?
This time the root of my annoyance.. actually, annoyance to the power of thousand, is this: http://2010.finncon.org/
FinnCon 2010! Why didn't I find out about this before! It's made for me! Literature, culture, sciece fiction, science (there would have been a chance to get to see a particle accelarator!!! SERIOUSLY!!!) and so much more!!!
But 3 (5) days is NOT enough to plan everything. Okay, I could manage trains, maps, locations, but accommodation and adjusting to the trip mentally... no. I bet all single hostel rooms anywhere near the university are taken long ago. And there's no way to rush the mental process.
BELGIUM!!! FRECK!!!
