Should come and see Oz then @Beldin. Aside from the middle of winter (now) it's not cold at all.

I don't normally deal with the cold that well, but I was fine with snow.

3 weeks off-sounds good for you, matehttp://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/im...ons/icon14.gif . Professor E and I can hold the fort okay in your absence, though obviously things won't be the same without you.

You designed your house yourself @Beldin? Custom-designed houses are the only way to go IMO, but as you say they're that much more expensive.
2 kids will always put a strain on the expenses. I guess it's worth it though, otherwise people wouldn't have more than one child.
I get the feeling I'll probably stop at one child myself, when I eventually get around to settling down and having a family.

Hi Fas. What does Fas stand for, BTW?

Well i am being moody.
I tend to be very emotionally stable.
Dont have mood swings or nothing.
But these days i just want to get away from all my friends.
Even the really close ones.
I bearly answer my phone when people call or if they do i am short and curt.

This also stems from the fact that i have had very little sleep the past couple of days.
4 hours a night.
Then there is work, so i dont get to see friends all that much either.
I was looking forward to the weekend where me and my friends would hook up and have a bash before most of them leave.
But now even that does look like it is worth it.

To add to that, my group of friends is going through a lot of back biting and pissing each other off stage.
I am staying out of it, even though i have been dragged in twice.
And the problem on top of that is that i am the only one who keeps his-her mouth shut.
So i basically a confident to all, and i hear friends dump on mutual friends.
I abhor back biting.
I say if you dont like the person or a quality tell him or her.
It is better than making fun of your friends behind their backs.
I am the only who seems to realise that.
It is not a very nice thing, i get caught in the middle between 2 friends (actually it is a huge group of nearly 10 people) and i dont want to be there.
So i am staying away, but i get called and stuff....

Plus it is also the thing, that most of my really good friends will be leaving and i am a bit upset about seeing them go...as then i have to readjust make new friends etc.
That and other stuff i have to figure out.
I am just depressed at points....though i dont show it....which is a bad thing i have been told.

Fas are my initials.
My first name starts with F
Mid name with A
and last name with S.

But my real name is Faisal...so it becomes my nick name.
Or Faisi as my sister and a really close friend call me.

Not entirely correct - at least here it is cheaper to build a house than to buy one....at least if you want more than 80mē living space in the house....

I was VERY surprised when I discovered in the U.S. that houses (at least in SW-Florida) are much cheaper than even an appartement in Vienna.

Sounds nasty, Fas. I sort of went through that a while back, but they weren't close friends, which made it better IMO as I could just go and hang out with other friends until it all blew over.

EDIT-Over here building a house is much more expensive than buying one, but buildiing is the only way to be sure of getting a house that is the way you like it. The first house I ever lived in was designed by my parents.
On the plus side, real estate is very cheap in Western Australia compared to most countries, and even compared to the Eastern States of Oz. And the houses tend to be more spacious than in Europe, that's for sure.

The problem is that my group of friends are pretty close knit.
We have been friends for nearly 4 years straight.
I am actually pretty normal with friends i dont hang out with, which is weird....
But oh well it will blow over.
Stiff upper lip and stuff...

the actions of Eerhardt

Sorry to hear, Fas - I hope the dust settles soon ** finishes his cup of "herbal tea" ** @Beldin: if I get my holiday, we'll both be absent the week from the 5th of August. I'll try checking in on the Rolling Thunder on Wednesday then and check my mail every day too. You need a holiday badly too ?

I'm barely hanging on 'till it rolls around....**sigh** ....I just hope the weather holds ...

**downs his 2nd beer and starts on a 3rd one to go and look after the other two**


EDIT - @Fas - no worries, either it'll pass or you'll just "grow out" of this friendship and develop others....it happens from time to time in our lives... .
