Hello. Yes, I'm still here. Many things have happened, but everything is the same (more or less). It's funny reading old LJ entries, it's like a story, but it seems to me like another person who was writing that... at the end of my life, will it be possible to bind it all together and make a book out of it? It will tell a story, and it will and will not be the story of me, both at the same time. Pieces of me.
I'm very much into Zen, still. It has practically saved my life, makes it bearable and gives sense to it (that's actually kind of a joke even though completely true, but explaining jokes is lame :) Sitting around for hours is not everybody's idea of a good time, so recommending it to others is kind of ... strange.
Finally moving out of this living community, and getting a flat of my own. It's nice, I look forward to it. And I'm 32 now, close to 33, so it's probably not too early, either. Funny how life moves on. Time flies like an arrow. But still I'm alive and living not so badly, so it's ok.
Am still single. Have been quite solitary over the past years. I'm getting picky too, and a bit eigen, with the years. Can't bear the shallowness of many people, especially not if I had to deal with it every day. A man on my side ... oooh, he would have to be quite a handful, active, verwegen, fordernd, a quick thinker. I think I'm not asking for an impossibility, but it seems to me that I'm looking for a certain type of man that is quite scarce.
I still do work a lot. Work is still fun, or at least ok, even if there are low points, but in general it's an interesting job still. Haven't managed to finish my degree. It's a failure, but I have not given up yet. When I have moved in into my new flat, I will have more Muße, and I will finally do it. On the positive side: I have holidays for the next week, then I will work one week, then I have two more free weeks. Yay, finally, time off work, just for me, to do things I wanted to do for so long but did not have the time!
Will I write more here in the next time? Looks like a worthy enterprise to me, but who knows... the last years have proven that it does not seem to happen. So: Have a good time! (Oh, and sorry for the German words, can't be bothered to look them up right now - is it still all the rage to use them, or are they already out again?)
