EndreWhiteMane: What is the issue you've voted on?

Edit: And yes, I had to look up what a plebiscite was. ;)

ElTerprise: Hi Endre :)

Whether Hamburg should apply for Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024.
Would referendum be the more common term in the US?
referendum is the much more common term but plebiscite would be correct..

I see. We use both terms here.
Okay, time to grab breakfast. Back shortly.

Here we use both terms but to different situations. A referendum is used when a given law is already set and approved by the congress and senate but the government seeks the population to ratify or reject the law partially or entirely. The plebiscite is used when the government wants the public opinion on a subject before any law is set to regulate it.

There may be that distinction here too. I am not at all politically savvy. :/

Interesting. Honestly i'm not entirely sure if there is difference in the usage of those terms here but in the recent case it's definitely a referundum according to your definition.

I looked after my dream .

According to the hungarian " Álmoskönyv "

If you die in your dream it means : the closure of a stage of your life , you are able to change your attitude to life and things

( i hope i translated it right )

Being empowered to change your attitude would be a wonderful thing.
Mine has taken many years to change and I still don't like it. ;)
Okay, back again. Kinda wish they'd just deliver, but no one delivers this far out.
Hey look! Santa Ian!!! :D

Nice and quiet. Spent the whole afternoon cuddled up on the sofa, watching winter sports and playing Puzzle Bobble on my 3DS.

Really not much else to do with the weather outside.
Went to a doctor to get my eye examined.
A stye. A fucking stye is on my left eyelid. All I have to do now is clean my eye with a special anti septic,apply some eyedrop and wash it with tap water every now and then.
