small annoyances

[tielan]

It's amazing how many people seem to believe that the problem with the human race is religion and that if we did away with religion, the world would be somehow full of sunshine and roses and puppies playing with each other instead of war and hatred and anger and selfishness.

I hate to break it to them, but the problem with the human race is the human race. Religion (or a political mentality or a social philosopy) is simply the excuse that people have used through time immemorial to be nastier versions of the people they already were in the first place.

No, I don't want a husband. Or a boyfriend. Or kids. I don't think that someday someone will come and I'll suddenly want to be a housewife, mother of his progeny, and sex toy for his pleasure - especially considering all evidence in my history points to exactly the opposite, and the numerical odds of me finding someone of suitable age and inclination to marry me - let alone who wants to marry me - are slim enough without adding the decreasing likelihood of healthy children given that I'm turning 35 this year.

And I'm not worried about it, and neither is my mum.

Thank. God.

Yes, Praha (Prague) has a lot of bridges. There's a freaking river running through the city.

I just said that we were going up to the castle for dinner.

If I'm not talking, that's because I'm trying to retreat into my cave where I don't have to make human contact, so I can come out tomorrow and be something resembling a human being capable of speaking with other human beings.

No, I will not wake you up when you snore because there's no point. You'll just turn over and keep snoring.

I want to go home. Only, when I get home, I have to bury the cat and start the hunt for a job.

It's not exactly something to look forward to.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long, cold winter for me.

The timing of this trip was simply horrid for you, considering the cat and the job situations. Also, there comes a time in every journey where one just wants to stop living out of a suitcase, and go home.

Retreating to your cave sounds like a very practical, mature, and sensible approach to the situation.

If I could, I'd send you a virtual deep and revitalizing night's sleep!

A hearty amen to the first two points, and **hugs** for the rest. I hope you have safe and good travels home, and find a job quickly thereafter.
