While waiting for a date to show up (which he didn't because his internet broke and he didn't get to read my email in time) I was in Starbucks getting a Chai Tea Latte. A sign on the cake counter said:
IF YOU WOULD
LIKE ANY OFF
FOOD DISPLAYED ON
LABLE PLEASE ASKED
DISPLAY CABINET NOT
WORKING
It actually took me quite a while to figure out, I thought they were offering out-of-date food...
In other news, I am very busy at work and fed up with being single.

The Hiatus Has Hended
I'm lying on my new bed, in my new room, in my new house, listening to an old CD on my ancient stereo. I have finally got some time to post again, after some crazily hectic weeks of my new job and the living very far away from it. I now live halfway between work and Town Centre, and near a huge Sainsbury's (look who's poshed up!) which also houses a bus stop for the bus that takes me straight to work in the morning... Life is looking up.
My new room is in a house I share with three boys (EW)... But they are nice boys and... we have Sky tv and highspeed internet... Oh yeah, did I mention they are geekboys? Most awesome, as it mean they have a lot of DVDs of films I like, and if anything is wrong computerwise, they will be able to help me out.
In other news, I am getting a Bearded Dragon soon. They are a type of lizard and extremely cute, and mine is going to be called Gregory. He is moving in on Sunday, which will also be when the first pictures (of many, many, many pictures) will be posted. Love him, as he is my surrogate baby.
I have lately been starting to feel very lonely and broody at the same time. I want a nice boyfriend to cuddle up to, and a cute baby to spoil. The boyfriend is obviously a more serious wish than the baby at the moment, but still... I would love to be settled somewhere with someone, and not feel so much like a student, always on the move. I have even thought about moving back to Holland, but that will probably not happen for a long time. I mean, at the moment I don't even have the money to take the train to Birmingham, let alone for the fare to Amsterdam... I miss my family, and am feeling a bit down because all around me relationships are (on the verge of) breaking up and all I want is to meet a nice boy...
Ah well, at least I will have Gregory to cuddle soon!

Sleepy Merel
Hello all of you sweeties,
I am so sorry about being lame in my updating, but I don't really have much to say...
Okay, I lie, I have lots to say, I am just too tired/lazy to say it! I haven't even got time to do my washing up, let alone post on this thing!
All is going well, I am very busy with work and seeing my friends and trying to get enough sleep and nutrients. I have a place to live for when I need to move out of this place, which is nice!
I have also finally decided to drop out of my MA. I am not able to write the essays, and unless I can hand in a piece of art or a mindmap or something I will never be able to finish the MA properly. I loved the classes and the course has taught me a lot about how to read and think, but I am just no longer able to write well. Or even write at all. (This is also another reason for me not updating much.) Sorry mama.
In other news, I am seeing a very nice man at the moment, who makes my tummy go all funny and who makes me very happy and nervous at the same time... We had a bit of a rocky start, but now we are having fun and enjoying ourselves, and all is good in the Land Of Merel.
Other news will follow, if late and in a lame way.
Big kisses to all of you!

Exciting Life At The Office
Today Blondie (my lovely crazy colleague) and I spent some time choosing linguists to date/marry. There is a really nice man who is unfortunately married... And another one who isn't and is really pretty, and then there is one who is both pretty and already speaks Dutch, so wahey!
Blondie and I are the only single girls in the Operations Team who are in today, so we have been driving the others crazy with our 'who-is-our-future-linguist-husband game. you need to keep busy when bookings are slow!
But of course, I will keep my options open in case Mr. Sharkey is single...

Awesome Name Of The Day
Mr Sharkey is the man I will marry. He sounds reasonably nice, he lives about 3 hours away, and I have never met him, but... I. Want. His. Name. NOW!
