I don't see myself as a very social person, let alone a partner-and-children type person

I know I'm not one, especially a children-type-person, but here I am: married for the 15th year, mother of two kids (though there is a reason their age difference is more than seven years, children starting to be more fun than one heck of a nuisance as late as around the age of five in my opinion).

As for me I'm aiming to live up to the old crazy cat hermit stereotype. Except maybe not so much cats as just animals in general. Or actually, maybe mostly dogs. And a falcon. A falcon would be amazing.
"Old crazy falcon hermit" is now one of my goals.

Wow, am I the only one in this forum who isn't planning on becoming a hermit with no children at all? Although I wouldn't mind a falcon, just saying,

On a completely unrelated note, apparently some... Cooking foreign people are visiting our city. I saw lots of flags and lots of yummy yummy food. So here's what I learned today:

- There's no sausage like a German sausage
- Except maybe for Austrian sausages, which are even better
- Dutch sounds like a really difficult and scary language
- I tend to go "Squee!" when people accidentally speak in their native language
- I really hate alcohol, but beer was perfect with today's meal
- I can understand "Ja!" in five different languages
- And foreign accents are too darn funny.

Not really, Pessi said she already have children and Eich clearly likes the idea of starting a family of his own. As for the sausages - all of my yes. There are so many good kinds, German wurst, Polish Kielbasa, Cumberland sausages ... If only ThisCat could learn to appreciate real sausages instead of the pink-goop kind she advocates ...

:( They're cheap okay? I'm a student! Stop hating on my food, hate doesn't taste good!

(And I really want children, but I'm only 19 and I don't even have a boyfriend :( )

I would think Dutch would actually be one of the easiest languages to learn for a native English speaker.

Too bad English is my third language, then ;P

That's what I thought, they're the cheaper kind of sausages out there. And they don't taste bad, don't worry ;)

Tehehee... Kind enough to dedicate you a poem ;P

On an autumn's night,
Chatting about food,
Fimbulvarg suggested
That sausages were good,

"Delicious, I may say"
She hurried then to add
That all of them were yummy
Except those that were bad.

"Pink-goop stuff" she said,
And pointed up ahead
To ThisCat's dish recipe
On another distant thread.

ThisCat was deeply hurt,
When such a news she heard,
"Stop hating on my food,
Hate doesn't taste good!"

This stanza is the last,
And it shoud be very good,
But sleeping-time's long past,
So if you people will excuse me,
I'll go back to my food.


...I tried, okay? Sleeping-time's long past.

Oh, by the way, guess who's finally a scout!

My Dutch friends disagree. Apparently it's a very difficult language to get to grips with. It's basically the drunken end result of Welsh and German having a one night stand.

It's not your food though, it's Gilde who make tasteless mystery sausages. Seriously, it's like minced ... water pudding. Try real sausages some day and I guarantee you it will be a whole new experience.

I guess the alliance of sausage connoisseurs is off then ... Your poem needs a title though.

I keep falling asleep in the middle of playing Pokemon Y. This is like the third time today, and it's the kind of sleep where I'm like, "Well, okay, maybe if I just lay on my side for second..." and pass out.  I must've needed sleep a little more than I thought.

On the all-too-serious subject of sausages, yes, only proper bratwursts and the like are worth eating.  Sadly, my student status prevents me from getting them.  Over here we actually call the not so good kind "hot dogs," and they're actually eaten more often than the good stuff.  Do any other countries do that, or is that another one of the weird American things?

Welcome to scout-hood, Nimphy!
