Bio

THIS JOURNAL'S ENTRIES ARE FRIENDS ONLY
How many times have I changed this bio! As many as my life??? I'm from Greece, studied in England and now I am working and living in Holland. I miss Greece more than I miss England. Bought my own house in Amsterdam in January 2005, I work in IT, I play squash, drink rose and vodka, I read novels, philosophical and psychological books and go to bed at a different time every night. I wear my socks inside out and I don't do winter holidays. Beach, sunbathing, swimming and cocktails is the kind of girl I am. I don't drink coffee. I smoke. I dislike social niceties and formalisms, I find them to be hindering real communication between individuals. I am way too passionate and people knock me for it but I have one thing to say to all of you: Nothing in the world has ever been achieved without passion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I live alone, entirely alone. I never speak to anyone, never; I receive nothing, I give nothing… When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell something: the plausible disappears at the same time as the fiends. You let events flow past; suddenly you see people pop up who speak and who go away, you plunge into stories without beginning or end: you make a terrible witness. But in compensation, one misses nothing, no improbability or, story too tall to be believed in cafes.

People who live in society have learned to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends. Is that why my flesh is naked? You might say - yes you might say, nature without humanity… Things are bad! Things are very bad: I have it, the filth, the Nausea.

I can't say I feel relieved or satisfied, just the opposite, I am crushed. Only my goal is reached: I know what I have to know; I have understood all that has happened to me since January. The Nausea has not left me and I don't believe it will leave me so soon; but I no longer have to bear it, it is no longer an illness or a passing fit: it is I.

I grow warm, I begin to feel happy. There is nothing extraordinary in this, it is a small happiness of Nausea: it spreads at the bottom of the viscous puddle, at the bottom of our time - the time of purple suspenders, and broken chair seats; it is made of white, soft instants, spreading at the edge, like an oil stain. No sooner than born, it is already old, it seems as though I have known it for twenty years.

"Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea"

Often times, you get over excited and take on more than you can manage.

Your strength: Your ability to make your own luck

Your weakness: Thinking you can do it all
