my life in headwords... or something
okay, I have been kinda absent from livejournal these couple of weeks.
I blame work for that & I promise to be a better friend in the next couple of weeks.
Will try to read everything I have missed in those weeks.
We'll see how long that'll take me *lol*
not that anybody seems to have missed me... nobody nudged me or anything *lol* ;D
But now... let me tell you what has happened in those couple of weeks.
1. work began, all my colleagues were nice to me & welcomed me back in a nice way.
It seemed as if they all were very happy to work with me again.
That made me happy.
2. It was supposed to be my last day at work today, but I'll have to work next saturday, too.
Not that I mind ... but if it had been my last day today, it would have been a nice/weird coincidence, because my paid account would have run out today, too *lol*
3. Speaking of ... I've re-newed it.
Another year of Livejournal, woohoo.
Userpics haven't been re-newed, yet, because they won't run out until the middle of August.
So ... I have 109 userpics now *hee*
and I'm using almost all of them XD
4. my tv is still dead, told my family about it by now...
but I don't have a new one... yet.
we don't have a spare tv & I don't want to buy a new one from my money.
See my logic when it comes to that :
I don't want to spent my money on a new tv, I'd rather spent my money on new dvd's, movies or tv shows... maybe buy some clothes too, but mostly I'm thinking about dvd's ... BUT ... I can't watch them without a new tv, can I ??
but I don't want a new tv, because it will be so expensive & I can buy several dvd's from that money I'd spend on a tv ...
but then again ... can't watch 'em without a tv, can I ?? *loool*
anyways, I still have my pc, could watch them there... and then there's the tv + dvd player in the living room.
5. Oh, that tv I was supposed to get from my brother, because he wants a new one & I'd get his old one ??
not going to happen.
someone broke into his appartment & stole his tv & his playstation.
Nothing else.
WHY THE TV ??? I NEEDED THAT ONE !!! SUCKERS !!! *lol*
6. speaking of dvd's.
Bought the german Queer as Folk S1 Dvd Box set ... and am disappointed.
no bonus material & the US Box is soooo much prettier.
I had a necklace as "special bonus" but I'd rather have a pretty dvd box set & bonus material (i.e. deleted scenes & all that stuff that is on the US dvd's) than a stupid necklace. hmph.
Anyways, the episodes are on it & the dvd's weren't as expensive as the US ones, so I guess there's still a bright side to it *shrugs*
7. am trying to obsess my mum with Queer as Folk XD
Cold Case repeats were on german television, we both knew that particular episode already, but didn't know who murdered the dead person.
Not that it was that important.
So I asked my mum : "Do you wanna know who killed him ?? because ... if not ... we could watch young, gay men in television !"
mum : "What ?!?"
me : "Young, Gay Men !!!"
mum : *laughs. a lot* *lol*
So we watched Queer as Folk together,
the pilot, which I hadn't watched yet, either & the next episode.
It was kinda awkward to watch it with my mum, because of the sex scenes and stuff, but you get used to watching it & then it's all good *lol*
Seems she liked it.
Told her that I won't start playing the third ep.
Her reaction : "Yeah, it would be too late for me anyways, but we'd watch more tomorrow !"
*looool* So ... seems she wants to see more, go mum !! ;)
8. Sadly we haven't watched more, yet, because I wasn't home yesterday.
I went out with Maren. We went to the "Hammer Summer" *lol*
It's kinda like a small festival in my hometown.
It's for free & there are three more or less popular bands/singers there who perform for free.
It's sponsored by the city.
This year there were Alexander Klaws (german american idol winner), Apoptygma Berzerk (the band I wanted to see), and Cutting Crew (the band for the older folks I'd say *lol* ).
I had to work till 8pm yesterday & met Maren around 9.20pm then.
We missed Alex (don't care), enjoyed Apoptygma much, watched parts of CC, but they were kinda boring, so we went to the Jonathan.
9. There they had a big screen and showed the party after the Germany/Portugal game.
That looked like fun *hee*
I kinda felt ignored by Paul that evening & that made me a little sad...
but okay, it was a busy day & I can understand that his mind was occupied with other stuff.
10. Went home with Maren, saw her new appartment, liked it & had my usual trouble sleeping in someone elses home.
11. the next day I went home first, was a little bit online there, looked at pretty stuff on ebay.de & went to work.
12. nothing exciting was going on at work... so after I went home... and was home ... and stuff ... I realised that ebay is evil.
Still.
Yes, I'd bid on something, but thought "oh well, it's not much money, someone will "overbid" you. It's not very likely that you'll win this auction !"
and then I was home & just thought "OMFG; WHAT ???? "
yeah, I'd won ... and I actually have something twice now.
but not really, because ... those two things differ from each other *lol*
... yeah... but still... I'm thinking "what will you do with ... two of 'em ??" O_ô
Oh well... at least I got the second thing rather cheap, huh ??
13. Art/Icon related news :
I hate HATE the new trends that everyone seems to like at the moment.
In case you're wondering what I'm talking about ... I mean the "cloud" icons. Fandom meets clouds.
I have no idea who had the idea that it might be a good idea, but let me tell you ... it's not !
If you like that kind of stuff... just let me tell you that I don't !
and then there's the "let's use a circle" thing. Not as bad as the cloud thing, but I don't care much for that kind of stuff, either, and I bet it will begin to annoy me rather soon.
Oh well... I don't like most trends when it comes to clothes, so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised that it's the same in the "Art world" *shrugs*
I made another wallpaper for the challenge in my message board, will post it soon in my "icon" journal.
So keep an eye on that ;D
there will be icons, too.
I haven't made those, yet, but they're planned & that's a start, isn't it ?? *lol* ;D
14. okay, this has nothing to do with anything I wrote here, yet, but still, it's worth mentioning.
I'm going to be aunt !!!
My sis-in-law is pregnant at the moment *hee*
she's not far along yet, I think second or third month, not sure about that, but yeah, as long as nothing happens... I'm going to be aunt rather soon :D
and how bad is it that some of my first thoughts were ... how to turn that little, unborn thing into a Farscape Fan XD
it will take AGES until I can do that & still it was one of my first thoughts & I was actually really looking forward to it !! :D
*gives cookies & milk to everybody who's read so far*
