omg yay apparently I'm not completely blind and incompetent, as I did order the correct trikots. Yay! I guess I was just too paranoid, given my poor German abilities >_>, so as soon as I saw the word 'keine' I went DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:. >_> Now we'll see when they'll actually make it from Germany to me...S:
Anyway, meme from my bb
chiasmus! :D

Trikot shipping here isn't so bad! Well, within Germany XD Generally under €5...which no longer seems like much after one's paid €50+ for one XD
There are public torrents of that game, and of course rojadirecta :D And omg the Germany v Argentina game makes my heart freaking sing with how beautiful it is ♥
XD I do identify with aspects of people, a lot whereas I don't really with fictional characters, but I don't really identify with entire aspects since we can't really know as much about historical people and they tend to have the disposition and conviction I admire and like. XD So for example, I can identify with two revolutionaries at the end of the Qing dynasty who explicitly wanted to restore our culture (rather than just overthrowing the dynasty and Westernising), with the first emperor of the Ming dynasty who saw himself as restoring Song China (esp. since I'm pretty sure I lived during then...), but it's not like ~super strong~ and really just those aspects, I guess XD;;; And the 10,000 soldiers who jumped to their deaths at the battle that spelled the end of the Song court, since I know I would die with my country, too, in case of foreign conquest 3: Yeah, this is like the only thing I feel really really really passionately about, though the bbs probably come second XD /rambles forever XD
XD I was pretty much NO MORE US so I looked only in Europe for postgrad XD I'm considering doing a PhD here, too...XD;;;;; Though it might kill me lol XD;;;;

I wish I were in Germany XD I haven't really ordered much from overseas in a wicked long time, now that I think about it, and normally it was just books.
Yeah, I'll probably just torrent it overnight or something. XD
I think I get what you mean. XD I always admire people with strong convictions, though I'm not sure it's necessarily a trait I see in myself in a specific sense. (Do you have any other time periods you identify of living in before? If you don't mind my asking, my mom and I used to talk about past lives a lot, though she had a better grasp on hers than I ever did on mine.)
That's how I'm feeling increasingly, and I think it'd be stronger if I were living somewhere other than the Boston area rn. XD I also want to just collect a lot of degrees in general, so I need to jump back into that soon.

Ordering from overseas is just a hassle >_< If my bb J. weren't living in Germany I have no idea what I would do - trawl e-bay, probably. 3: Though I can't believe you ordered books from overseas! What sort of books? They must have been expensive! S: (Also, you should buy Die Spieler! XD Can you ask for anything more than the bbs in amazing black & white? And the book itself is bound using thread, so it's quality worth the price S: (I get so annoyed when I pay a lot for a hardback...and it's bound using glue. WRY. lol but then I love stuff like letterpress printing and traditional bookbinding XD)
I think what binds my identification with others is the strength of our belief in 漢, as that defines pretty much everything about me. XD;;;; And I can see myself being Native (American) at some point, and most likely post-1644. tbh...I can't imagine not being 漢 when it was possible, because I identify so strongly with it; the very idea of being of another ethnicity totally blows my mind away and just seems wrong. How did your mom figure out her past lives? S: And of which ones do you know? S:
What about the Boston area mitigates that for you? O: And haha I want to collect degrees, too...but sadly I needs monies, um. 3: /needs a husband lol XD;;;;

I never do it often, but there were a couple book series that got released in the UK before here and I was impatient, so. XD; Then I've also ordered a few art books from Japan for series I really liked, but I haven't done that in years. (I definitely need to try to get that one! :D and oooh, even better. I love traditional bookbinding too XD).
I haven't yet found anything I feel that closely bound to, though ~adrift is to some degree something I actually seem to enjoy. I know she had a friend who was good at figuring out that kind of stuff and I think she helped her along with it, but she never really told me the process in too much detail. :O We mostly talked about it when I was younger, so I've probably forgotten stuff too... I feel like I've had a Renaissance Italy one, and a WWII one, but it's never been anything that came through really strongly for me.
I think it's a lot of small things. XD The weather, the presence of a lot of old, good used bookstores, coffeehouses and tea shops... I enjoy the whole general feel of the city, so I'm at least all right with being here. Then there are just random geeky things that happen that make me happy (like finding inexplicable Doctor Who references for no evident reason). I'm trying to not stress about the financial part too much yet ... or at least not anymore than I already have. XD; I just want to do something before I become complacent.
