rollercoaster ride ... again

So, yes, I'm back. Maybe you didn't even notice, because I do not post very often, but I was without internet the last days. I won't bore you with details, but after formatting everything at least internet is working now - no sound though, but I guess there's ALWAYS a problem, right?

-----------------------------------------------------------

The last year ended like it has been: There were loads of good times and good things happening, but there were although a few major bad things. Let's just say: New years eve was an experience. [info]caesaria82 and [info]luthien82 were visiting and [info]ladybanteerin, [info]kaoru_is_here, [info]shivaluna and C&K came to the party and we had really fun.
But we also had to change our party location about 90 minutes before midnight (because of kindergardener's behaviour of some people) and I learned the effects of pepper spray from experience. Don't ask.
So yeah, you might understand if I say it was a great metaphor for the last year.

------------------------------------------------------------

2009 has been a rollercoaster until now ... and what a good one.

Look at all the new and shiny things people gave me!
- got new shiny cell phone with a mediaplayer, lots of games, a fantastic camera and lots of cool shit inside (gift of my brother)
- new car ... her name's Josephine (Josy) and I should take pictures and post them, because she is SOOO beautifull - am very sorry for Joshcar though (oh how I love that car), but since he isn't sold yet, I just use them both and feel extremely decadent. ;) (gift of my grandfather, because he just said so and I couldn't talk him out of it)
- new laptop - will arrive tomorrow (also a gift of my grandpa - for the 30th birthday of mine)
Ok, to be exact: Only the laptop is new-new, Josy and the cell are not so new anymore, but still shiny and new to me, so what the heck!
Yeah, I feel very taking and not so much giving atm, but since I talked with my grandpa about the money-thing a thousand times before and I'm always losing the discussion and since my brother would have given his phone away anyway, my conscience is (halfway) clean. ;)

I also got a confirmation about my traineeship - and I'm so excited, because ... it's the real thing now, right? Real students, real teaching and not talking about teaching theory ... omg.

AND: [info]thefabone is moving to Berlin! YAY!
And I'm really really really hoping I'm able to say the same for [info]luthien82 in near future. *grabby hands* Does that make me selfish?

Yeah, feels good to be back, too. :)
The pepper spray ... yeah, it wasn't aimed at us and the person underestimated the thing totally. But it really wasn't a good feeling.

And ROFL Elliot! *g* I'm a bit worried though, because DHL says that the package arrived, but we got neither the packet nor this card that tells us, that one of our neighbours got it. Hmmmm ...

Yeah, I got it. *nods* But I have to send it back and let them check the battery. In my opinion the thing working for an hour and 40 minutes is not ok, when advertised 3 hours. But friends now told me, that it might be working just fine and you always have to cut an great amount of time when you actually work with that thing. *rollseyes*

It sounds very good!

Me, I've been... *waves hand around vaguely* Mostly good, but stressed and I don't like the course I have to do at the moment and have to find a new room and... stuff. But still good. As long as I have enough tea to make my throat stop hurting, anyway.

Yeah, I'm all better. Almost entirely healthy again, which is good enough for now since I've got an exam coming up and have to move in a week and a bit. But it's all good.

Hey Sweety, ich kann ja verstehen, dass du im Moment echt viel zu tun hast, also mach dir mal keine Gedanken. Aber ja, wenn du mal Zeit hast, würde ich mich über Kaffee und Kuchen echt freuen. :)

Well, if said person would get her ass in gear *sigh* Seriously, I should start writing applications left and right but I just... I'm scared as hell to do it. I know that when I start I'll do it and won't stop until I'm done but... I just... *whines*

At any rate: I want to see pictures of Josy!!! And what a beautiful name too! Do you have an estimate on how much Joshcar is still worth?

And YAY for the traineeship! Is it the school you wanted?

And hey, you can be decadent once in a while. You're totally entitled!

Oh, hon. I can understand that you're scared. I mean, it is a major livechanging decision ... again. But you know it is for the best. So, yay, tschakka! ;)

And yeah, will take pictures asap. :) And I think I'll get about 600 euro for Joshcar. It's not much, but I guess he's just to old and damaged to get much more.

And YES, it's the school I wanted. OSZ Recht ... so there's a big chance I can teach my fav subject as well. :)

Let's telephone, hon! I'm in Duesseldorf for the weekend, but after that we should totally talk. (And I still wanna adopt Jeremy. :) )

Seems I'm all for life changing decisions... *sigh* Thing is... at work? There's lots of stuff going on right now. Ugly stuff. I'm not sure I want to be around for the fallout but... MAAAAAAN I should just write the damn applications *is pissed at herself*

At least Joshcar was loyal :D Can't wait to see the pics of Josy.

Cool! I'm so happy for you that you got the school you wanted! I hope it'll be so awesome there that you can work there after your internship as well!

Yes, let's talk on the phone! What about next week? If it continues to stay that quiet I may have a free day or two coming up. And if not, I still have the evenings free. (And who DOESN'T want to adopt Jeremy? Did you start on the 4th book yet?)

Aw hon, don't be so hard on you. It won't light up your mood and/or motivation. And man... sounds really bad.

Pics will come, when I'm back in Berlin. Am in Duesseldorf atm.

Next week sounds fine. Wednesday?

And yeah, I started with the 4th book and got the shock of my life. ;) And yeah, can I have a Mike as well? He's fun.

You know me, I'm always hard on myself. I need to develop some serious relaxing skills *sigh*

Oki, will wait then ;)

Wednesday is fine. I'd say around 1800-ish. I should be at home by then but you never know. If I'm home earlier I might call around 1700 already, if that's okay.

Heh *grins* Oh you will be surprised from start to finish :D And Mike rocks the house, as always. He and Sandy, aren't they just the cutest? Somehow they fit together, aren't they? Oh, by the way: the fourth book is now with LuLu the publisher and the author is just waiting for an advance copy to be sent to her and if it's fine the book will go online! Can't wait!

YES, you do. *nods* Lay back for a sec and stop worrying! (I know it sounds so easy and is in fact hard work ... but try, please, hon.)

Sounds good. *nods* :)

YAY for being able to buy the whole package. I can't wait. :)
(And Simon is sooo not worried out of his mind. uhuh.)

Joah... das Ende von 2008 habe ich auch so empfunden wie das ganze Jahr so insgesamt. Interessant, aber auch irgendwie seltsam. Witzig, aber auch ein bisschen nervig. Weiss nicht so wirklich was ich davon halten soll...

Und ich brauche auch mal wieder einen Kaffee. Oder meinetwegen auch einen "Kaffee". ;) Hast du diese Woche vielleicht noch Zeit?

Kaffee klingt gut. Diese Woche klingt weniger gut, weil ich doch heute wegfahre. Nächste Woche?
