Haven't updated my lj in quite a while - one year, to be exact. I wonder what it might mean that I return now and not earlier (or later). Perhaps the silence I keep on tumblr is getting to me, but even here, I feel at a loss for words. I shall try regardless:

I fell down the stairs at the University building today. Did a nice sommersault, but a good looking man helped me up again, unfortunately he left rather quickly (WAS I NOT PRETTY AND VULNERABLE ENOUGH ( Read more... )

As Roy said: "I feel delicate." I don't even know why, I could tear up at the next best occasion or curl into a ball and wrap myself in warm blankets. I actually want to do that most days, now that I think about it. Hmmm. Winter depression? I hardly think so. It's not your usual "All is dark and shitty, I want to die"-despair, more like a ( Read more... )

It's almost a week since my internship ended. I meant to write a mean spirited, judging post full of vitriol about the work and my so called colleagues at the end of January. To get even, in a way. But now that it's over and done, there's nothing left but relief and a tiny sense of sadness. :/ Strange, huh? I don't really feel like writing about ( Read more... )

It's been so long, I cannot even remember how to start an lj entry. Lots of things happened, a lot of them didn't. But let us just talk about the happy things that DID happen.
