It's kind of amazing what good weather can do for my mood. Here we've had months of you konw, winter, but the past few weeks we havent really gotten above maybe 5 degrees C and grey skies. Today it was about 7 or so, and so so sunny. I haven't seen the sun in a while, and although I should be as stressed as ever the sun just made my day. Also the fact that I only had 2 rather than 4 classes because I didn't have to go to my economics class. But still, weather!
I'm starting to appreciate the beauty of the city I'm living in again. Probably again because of the weather, but it's next to a lake, and it's so old! Also we just finished with fasching/fasnacht/carneval here yesterday. It's a celebration to chase a way winter (and it seems to have worked for now ;)) where people dress up and march through the streets, sometimes with floats, sometimes just playing "Guggenmusic" (bands? with really really big drums ;) and brass and that kind of thing). I love the tradition of Europe, the culture.
Also I'm working on when I can go home in the summer! After doing an Engenering sort of summer school in the UK somewhere, I'm hoping to head straight home.. where it will be winter again :( Oh well.
So that's really all. Except, apparently Ryan and keltie broke up? I was on some gossip lj com ("fueled by gossip") for the first time today, and it made me so angry. Some of the comments on the ryan/keltie post there make me feel bad about being a part of this fandom, on a smaller level. I know that the people I'm friends with are a hell of a lot more mature than some of the girls who want the boys to never be happy, marry them instead or something, but still. The fact that Keltie had to post this on her blog makes me so sad:
"It takes time, and I can say this also... If you always hated me, and still hate me, then please stop coming here, it's over. You can spend your time trying to estalk the other girls now, or move on to the next big band. I have put up with you hating me for years and there is no reason to anymore, you can find him after a show try to make him your husband. This is my blog, and I am going to post about dancing, life and everything else. I have all the attention from all the right people that I need to have attention from, so you can move onto the next girl you want to hate for no reason. Seriously, I am done. Please, I give up. Leave me alone..."
I will do the 5 things meme another time. Now is time to study for physics. Wish me luck.
ETA: And so the getaway plan (an awesome up and coming band from melbourne) broke up. I saw those guys 4 times in concert, they played wiht my chem when they were in Aus and outside of bandom they are my favourite band. I am so gutted. I have shared so many memories with some of my best friends at those gigs, and now its over. They're having one last national tour, but it will probably not be in july or august, which. Blah. not so happy right now anymore D:
spring is coming!,
bandom fail,
home,
rl is important too
