What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since beginning to read my lj? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head ( Read more... )

Lived the "carpe diem" today - it is not often that I feel I accomplished something, so I couldn't help but share the afterglow ( Read more... )

What a day it has been! I don't usually get excited about current affairs or politics. Yes, I like to rant about issues occasionally, but most of the time, I'm not very passionate about it. However, Obama winning the Presidential Election - I didn't expect to feel so deeply moved ( Read more... )

So, apparently, I don't have any willpower whatsoever, but I am much happier for it. Which of course means, pretty boys are involved. Aren't there always ( Read more... )

Went on a road trip with friends today, to do a thoroughly touristy thing and see Neuschwanstein, the castle King Ludwig II (the crazy guy) had built.

#1 Wallowed in self-pity all day for no good reason instead of getting any work done. Didn't do much about that backlog of emails, either. Know should snap out of it already, but I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow. Should probably go to the gym for some endorphins or whatever they call it. Hmmm. Maybe tomorrow ( Read more... )
