I finally found a nice place to live and I'm moving there at the end of the month. It took a lot of effort and patience, I've been looking at apartments for 2 weeks and I've seen some really naaasty ones. But the main problem is finding something in a good location, most of what is advertised is on the brim of he "city" or outside of it. But today was my lucky day, I finally found something that doesn't suck. :party:

A tag, how exciting *mixed feelings after a long day*. Anywho, this one's for Ash.

Four jobs that I've had

1. Paper boy. Not so much delivering papers as it was selling them. On Sundays. Mornings. Ah, fun. It was the first job I ever had, I got sucked into it through my classmates, cause a lot of people did that back then. So they recruited us to sell Dagbladet, I think we got about 20% of the price of the paper to ourselves, that was 2kr on 10kr. I sold about 30 of them every Sunday, in the same neighborhood, to the same people. I heard others sold in the 60s-70s. I've never pursued a salesman job after that. Did that for about 6 months, including one winter. That was fun, walking in 40cm of snow.
2. Painting the daylight lab at the university. Got that one through *cough* contacts. So basically there was this room that was all white, they wanted it black. I bought the paint, got a ladder, got to work on it. Took me quite a while to cover the walls and ceiling (obviously I dripped lots of paint on the floor though I wasn't supposed to). I believe it took a full weekend and then some.
3. Scanning photos & making web pages. Summer job this one, lasted me about 2 weeks I think. Got to work on scanning pictures mostly, that was an incredibly bore (well duh), but I did have some relaxed days in my office doing that, no pressure on efficiency.
4. My only "real" job to date. Just left that one a few weeks ago, I worked for the High Performance Computing group at the university. Real jobs are no fun to talk about.

Four movies I could watch have seen over and over
No matter what the movie, I get sick of it.

1. Bad Boys - looooooved the movie score
2. Ocean's Eleven
3. Independence Day - it was cool at the time
4. Con Air

Four places that I have lived

1. Łódź
2. Mysen
3. Oslo
4. Trondheim

In that order.
Four TV shows that I watch
Well I don't actually watch anything that's on tv these days. But here's some picks for ya.

1. Seinfeld (number one needless to say)
2. Scrubs
3. Frasier
4. First Wave - an old classic

Four places I've vacationed

1. Paris
2. Amsterdam
3. London
4. Barce Valencia

Four of my favourite dishes

1. Fruit salad
2. my spaghetti torinese is famous in a few obscure places
3. Coffee flavor ice cream
4. I'm out

Four sites I visit daily:

1. http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en
2. http://www.cs.uu.nl/
3. http://reddit.com/
4. http://rss.slashdot.org/ - not religious about it though

Four places I would rather be [than a computer lab]:

1. Netherlands Antilles - looks like a really cool place
2. Coffee Heaven
3. at home
4. on a soccer pitch

No more walking, count me in alongside the priviliged upper class who ram into pedestrians.

The Expatriate

Achtung! You are 23% brainwashworthy, 22% antitolerant, and 14% blindly patriotic
Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism does not reach unhealthy levels. If you had been German in the 30s, you would've left the country.

One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could have been one of them.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 12% on brainwashworthy

You scored higher than 24% on antitolerant

You scored higher than 8% on patriotic

That's right, I'm not doing it. Tomorrow I'm literally moving to the Netherlands, I've been preparing myself for this for quite some time, fantasized of it even longer. Okay, not necessarily Utrecht, but fantasized about going to college abroad. I thought by know I would have something grand to say, some kind of mini speech to myself. Well, as it happens, my thoughts and my schedule don't correlate very well, so I don't really have anything to say, I'm just ready to go. Furthermore, making announcements [and plans, at least big plans] is a bad omen for me, it tends to go to hell (well maybe not to hell but let's say plans change). So even better, no big words, they'll come at some other time when things are probably more quiet.
