I’m an uptight person at times, I admit. But I can’t say I’m not an integer person.

Just now I walked a large distance instead of biking because my rear light was broken, now I wasn’t bothered that I (by law) had to walk, because I like walking more than I like biking. But it also made me realize that this small adherence to the law (even though I didn’t stumble across policemen) was something I could somewhat respect myself for.
People can go and say I’m an uptight suck up to the law, but I think people should rather realize that I do what I feel is right and that which I feel just so happens to be right.

I am of opinion that the Netherlands has way too much of a “It’s not allowed but who gives a fuck” mentality, this also spawns asocial behavior. I cannot help but have a deep passionate hate for music being played in public or disturbing the peace in the evening and hiding behind the excuse of being drunk.

It should be common sense for people to behave, and for some reason it’s not.

Ironically I think our own government puts it in the best way: “Without realizing, we’re all becoming more asocial.”, additional stock sentences to fuel my opinions would be “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem” and “Fuck you”.

Anyway this is my view on it, and I know that most people won’t share it with me. Most Dutchmen won’t at least.
But please by all means go ahead and bike without light, turn right without indicating so, claim..
Actually I don’t know the word for this, in the Netherlands we have a rule where at a normal crossroad, the person coming from the right is allowed priority against a person coming from the left.
Similarily, someone going straight forward has a priority when someone comes from the opposite direction and wants to take a turn.

Anyway, please claim priority when you can’t legally claim it.
And of course by any means be angry at the police officer who would write your ticket, as it is totally and completely

your fault.

Also, I’m learning to play guitar. I want to be able to play electric well but I’m also practicing on an acoustic.

Elexar said I had to do a blogpost, so I did.

Bye!

Today, or by now yesterday, was probably one of the better days of my life so far.

I woke up this morning already feeling really good, took a shower etc etc and made sure I looked neat since I had a job interview (well, for an internship, but it’s paid work) coming up.

Skipping to the actual interview, I was nervous as you’d expect a mostly-introvert 17 year old to be, but it went really well and ended in success.

So now I’ve got an internship I’m really looking forward to and seems like a lot of fun, I walk with my dad to his place (he actually works at the same building my internship will be at) and I get bombarded with how proud he is of me, which is something I always appreciate hearing a lot.

Back at my mother’s, which is where I live at, I had the most fun in months playing a game; Zombie Survival in particular with a lot of other people of Facepunch.

What made it so fun was the buggy nature of the gamemode, the players that were on, dragons, apples and that kind of nonesense.

When my mother came home I again got told how proud I should be of myself, adding the icing on the cake.

So now here I am at 12:50, typing this, reviewing a good day. One I haven’t had in a long time.

Been admiring dragons lately, and drawing some myself.

I know my drawing skills aren’t great but they work well if you’re trying to make a smarmy reply or prove a point. Or draw burgerloving dragons.

Never mind, got it open again.

I’ve been getting into lockpicking, it’s quite satisfying screwing around with locks during a loading screen.

I have this little padlock near my keyboard, I keep picking it with a bobby pin and I’m pretty sure that after opening it 17 or so times I’ve damaged a tumbler or something.

I ordered a lockpickset from Dealextreme yesterday, It’s free shipping and shit and it comes from the USA so it only cost me ~4 euros.

So yeah.

Lots of it-

First off, I’m still searching for that fox.

I’m seriously considering getting a Novint Falcon seeing the reviews it’s been getting, I have to save up some more money though.

Still playing Modern Warfare 2, dual shotguns are rediculously overpowered.

Not playing TF2 a lot anymore, REALLY needs an update.

Lots of work for school, I’m getting the law part of my study now and it’s a pain to learn.

This is all I can think of right now, Garry style.

I’ve been searching for this specific picture’s origin/site where it came from:

Whachoo lookin' at

Gotta love searching for fox on the internet, deviantart alone has 30000 pictures of foxes in it’s photography section.

.. I’m at 5100.

I estimate I’ve seen over 20000 pictures of foxes by now, they’re actually pretty awesome creatures too.

Sometimes I get ocd-ish like this, I just HAVE to find the site this picture came from.

I’ve been playing GTA IV on pc a bit, I’ve played it on the 360 before but I’m redoing it on PC.

I really like the euphoria (animation and physics blending) engine.
