Vox Hunt: It's Like This...

Audio: Share a song that reminds you of a current or past relationship.

Well, this song reminds me of a past relationship, of someone who kind of made me for a fool (he did) and then then left me to wonder what I had spent my time on. This really made me have one of the worst times of my life, until I finally regained confidence.
" At first, when I see you cry, I go ahead and smile..." Oh yes...

Weird days

  • Feb 7, 2007
  • Post a comment

I moved into my new apartment a few days ago and still no peace. Yesterday I discovered they locked my webspace, because some script is creating unwanted MySQL connections. What shall I do?, I asked the guy on the phone, and he siad he would leave the webspace open for one hour and then I was supposed to clean up all folders containing scripts. This will mean that tomorrow I will have to say goodbye to my Wordpress mainsite *sniffs*
No idea why. Yesterday I installed the new version of Wordpress, and this was all I did. Should somebody have attacked my site in the end? Tomorrow I will get to know more...

The small things in life

  • Jan 25, 2007
  • Post a comment

There are some moments in life when you just feel that there are some tiny little things that seem to cheer you up when you are down. One good example is me stepping into my half finished apartment and seeing that the wall I painted yesterday looks nice, and seeing how much I already accomplished. The nice colleague at work who brought me chinese noodles for my first dinner. All that reminds me that there is a life apart from work, apart from the hours spent in a small office.

This saturday I will put the rest of the furniture up, and clean the bathroom. How I love thinking that this place will soon be my own home.

Online at home

I just cannot describe the feeling. For years I have been hanging around in Internet Cafes, taking website layouts with me on a USB Stick trying to work properly. Working in University internet rooms and being mocked by old computers and failing connections. It is all over now...finally.
Since yesterday there is a flatrate highspeed internet connection in my flat.

I just made a photo of my modem. Do not wonder about the mess, I did not move in yet. Still need to get the furniture together and my sofa is still incomplete...this photo was uploaded to Flickr and then introduced here. I am amazed...

Confessions

  • Jan 6, 2007
  • Post a comment

There are some things in life that you would better not tell anybody, in order to avoid being laughed at. But today it is time for some confessions.

1. I despise Carnival

I live in a city that is known for its Carnival, and by February everybody will be putting on the costumes and dresses and will join the choir of the people singing their silly songs and get drunk. I have some difficulties to indulge in that kind of group-pressure activities. When I am in the mood for party, I will do a party, but I cannot be forced to do it.

2. I still have no driving license

Well, eeeeh, this is a thing to be discussed. I am 24 and still cannot drive. I love to go by train, watching people and I love airplanes and airports. I hate traffic jams...ok, thats it.

3. I love cartoons

The smurfs, Scooby Doo and friends. I love them. There is no thing more exciting that seeing a ghost hunting scooby doo, or some smurfs escaping from Gargamel (What is this guy called in English?)

Stopping here before saying something that I might regret...

QotD: The Big To Do List

  • Jan 4, 2007
  • Post a comment

What's on your "do before I die" list?
Submitted by Caroline.

Well, there are a lot of things actually. Most of them deal with travelling the world: New Zealand, USA, China, Japan and so on.

Another things is getting some of my writings published, in my mother language German of course.

Main goal I want to reach is finally to be content with my life and the things I do, to reach a state where I can say that everything is how I want it to be.

And last but not least, to tell that special someone that I am in love...

2007 here I come

  • Jan 1, 2007
  • Post a comment

This is the first day of the year 2007 and also my last day off from work. Tomorrow I will be sitting in the 5:30 am train, travelling to work. I really enjoyed the days of free time to spend on activities that usually disappear in everydays stress and sleeplessness. I arrived well in 2007, inspite of burning my finger when lightening one of those paper rockets. Now there is a little red blister on my finger. Don´t worry, I will not give you any more details of that.
I hope to blog more often in the future and to try and spend more time on the things that make life worth living. What is the use of letting oneself be stressed and cursed everyday by work, daily problems and such? Life will go by without a sign and you will have gone through it like in a glass elevator that goes way too fast.
May 2007 be as exciting as 2006, and may it bring all the things we hope for!

Looking back to 2006

  • Dec 31, 2006
  • Post a comment

Summing up the things that ocurres during this year, I might say that it was, despite some stress and difficulties, a good year for me.

It began in February, when writing those two exams in bookkeeping and marketing. They alsmost made me sleepless but in the end I passed both of them. Then it went on with preparing my final thesis, starting to write it and then completing it two months later.

Next thing was my final oral exam. Four days later I started off into my first job. Well, if this was not a successful year...In the end, I am happy how everything turned out.

Now some folks come asking me about my goals for 2007, and to be honest, there surely are many goals and aims, which I will certainly not reach by next year;-), such as:

* Eating less
* Talking less
* Blogging more often
* Being less chaotic
* Behave more like an adult

Well there it is, the famous list...

This was a rather personal entry to sum this year up, and I hope many posts will be written by me in 2007 in a regular manner...

Happy New Year!
