C will be home soon. He's been away since Wednesday morning. I haven't mentioned it in my journal, because what twit mentions in her journal that she's all alone in a foreign country with next to no friends? I spoke to my mom and dad on the telephone once and since then my only human contact have been two trips to the post-office and calls from C. He's been exhausted though and they really only count as telephone calls if you accept "mhhhnnn" and "urhmmm" as conversation. I am not a particularly socialble person, but it has been lonely - AND it has made me realize how few friends I have here.

I managed to edit three paragraphs yesterday and I am satisfied with them, which is a novelty. So either I'm getting better, so I am still in the all-I-write-is-brilliant phase - that one usually doesn't last long, though.

Read a whodunnit book that S lent me, and yesterday I started the Norweigian book that she gave me ages ago, but I was tired and couldn't concentrate on a "foreign" language. I just realized that we have books in five different languages on our book-shelf that's pretty weird.

Pottering about the house with just two lazy cats for company can be pretty weird. Friday I went to the kitchen to find a steaming cup of tea on the counter. I remember putting the kettle on, but I don't remember taking out the tea and tea-cup, not to mention pouring the boiling water, so I said "thank you" to the empty space just in case....haha. Perhaps soon I'll really stop going to town because of the DEAD PEOPLE! *heavy irony here, read previous journal post for explanation".

Windows is acting really strange, wanting me to restart the computer. It's been asking me to do so every 5 mins. So I'll give in, but not before I run a virus scan. If you don't see me on-line in the near future, you'll know why.

Yay for the husband coming home! Yay for can-do-no-wrong editing!

Although I can't see how you could have been all *that* lonely with all those dead people to keep you company ;-)

But how much fun are dead people? I mean, you can't *take* them anywhere----they lose body parts at inconvenient moments. Other people can't see them, so they get run over and shut in doors and you look stupid talking to yourself. If someone else *does* see them, all of a sudden you're getting citations for carting hazardous waste about, or being exorcised, or having people either try to burn your home down or wall it off as a sacred site, neither of which is convenient for the neighbors (especially if you live in an apartment). If you do live in an apartment, all the Ghostbusters fans start showing up with flowers and asking to look in your refrigerator!

Sure, you can stay home and try to play board games, and maybe it's great that they don't eat the same snacks you do, but who wants to eat ice cream that a ghoul has drooled on? And then later you have to replace all your board games because the paperboard has peculiar stains, rotted places, and acid marks because *one* of your dead guests brought his pet alien. . .

*lol*
I never realized how troublesome it was to hang out with dead people. Perhaps the fish-oil in my fridge the other day was ghoul drool.

He-he...you have a point.
