Ah, my single greatest love in German football beside Oliver Kahn - Thomas Hitzlsperger.
You know
what I tentatively said ages ago? Of course I was being stupid right then, but still.

I just watched the news and that's something to come back to. It feels really good hearing him say he wants to help push the entire discussion of homosexuality forward. Isn't that what they talked about? What they wanted to see? A national team player with skill and power, someone to look up to for his achievments and his engagement?
Congratulations, dear boy!
I'm proud. Very. ... I miss him, too *sigh* Not only the last couple of months since he ended his career. Unfortunately he's been one of the pointers to me getting old, too, lol.
So, other than that. I worked through Christmas time, that's why you haven't heard fro me then. But what with having moved out from home and basically being all alone, I thought spending the days in the retirement home aiding there I was at least doing something worthwhile instead of getting depressed in my (still mostly vacant) flat. I still brought the presents to my parents and sisters. I'm getting along with my father it seems. And that's how I want it. I'm not like my other sister, I couldn't do this 'never again speak with him and ignore him instead' thing, all the over-dramatic shit you see on bad TV shows for the folks that have nothing else to do but watch it.
I don't want to waste my time being angry or disappointed and piling up regrets. What good does it do? I want to be at peace.
Silvester and New Year I spent with my mother and my favorite sister. It was fun. We had a firework called 'Dance of the Vampires' (actually in German and it was magnificent and splendid. Blood red and then those sparks would burn away in fire and turn to ashes one by one. Absolutely beautifully poetic.
In less positive news: I'll never drink alcohol again. I went out with a couple of girls Friday night and I still felt miserable on Sunday. I'm pathetic like that. Used to hold my liquor so well... -_- Also, in what way is putting cocktail decorations in your hair, you know, umbrellas and such, embarassing? I think it's pretty.
And I still have to write a report until the end of January.
I miss being free!!!! How do people manage all this work?! Every day??? All my new and old fandoms suffer!!!!!!
