The year is over, yet again. It's hard to believe, I know. And what a year it was, hot damn. Not often have so many things happened in one year for me, I guess, not since 2001 anyway. Looking back, I have to say, the year was, once again, divided. There were seven months of decisions, followed by five months of indecision. But even in the time of ( Read more... )

Do you have a tattoo? No
How old are you? 24
Are you single or taken? Taken
Eat with your hands or utensils? For some reason, I even like to eat Pizza with a knife and fork.
Do you dream at night? Yep.
Ever seen a UFO/ghost/spirit/me turn down a drink? Yup.
Bob Dylan or Lou Reed? I don't care terribly much for either. Dylan, I guess.
What's your ( Read more... )

WOOOSH! That's the sound of another year going by. Once again, 2006 came and went before I was able to say "Hyperventilate". That's the name of my favourite song this year. And once again, I made lots of lists to commemorate another 365 days of music, films and books. There remains, as always, my personal look back in anger, although there is ( Read more... )

...to mirax_girl and wilekat. You were (among others) responsible for letting me have a very enjoyable evening tonight. I'm looking forward to the farewell-drink next monday. Muchly.

There, you got mentioned once more in my livejournal. :)

Isn't it incredibly unfair that with everything we don't like we can just stop, but with life we can't?

It's the end of the year, which means its time for one of those beautiful, long, German words: Besinnlichkeit, a word which maybe best translates as "contemplation", although especially at the end of the year it has a certain element of spirituality to it. I am a very contemplative person, so I like the end of the year. It gives me time to think ( Read more... )

This is going to be another bitte mope, I'm afriad, but after all, this is what I created this journal for ( Read more... )

Seriously. I've never felt so anti-social in my life. It was a very fun night, celebrating the local gaming store's 7th birthday, including the absolutely mad but endlessly funny Dancing Bingo. And although mirax_girl was doing her best making small talk and trying to integrate me, I just sat in a corner for most of the evening looking glum. I have never had ( Read more... )

Wow! That Weekend with Cecilia really boosted me up. I both noticed that I am pretty well off in Edinburgh, what with the city being so much more interesting than Galway, and that Cecilia is definitely the girl for me. It felt so good to refresh my memory of her, because the mental picture of your significant other fades over time - even I couldn't ( Read more... )

I went with Paul to the Museum of Scotland today and for a coffee at Starbucks afterwards (although I, of course, did not drink coffee but Hot Chocolate as per usual) and Paul noted that from my LJ (and maybe also in general) I mope a bit too much. Well, as for the Livejournal - my new friends should remember that my regular "I did this today" LJ ( Read more... )
