Tomorrow I’m going to London for the weekend. Going to be great

In other news, this is quite possibly my favourite ever scene from Scrubs:

Mango body butter?!

Multistorey is pretty.

House of Burvo is very pretty.

This Threadless shirt me made smile:

I’ve had a shit day. I can’t train people to use a program I can barely use myself. It’s so fucking stupid. You think you’ve got it cracked and you go to the next step and the project I JUST ADDED isn’t there. Fucks sake. I feel so stupid for not understanding it. I know other people are in the same situation and we be helping one another. But I feel dumb for going on a course for 3 days and still not understanding exactly how to do it.

I wish it would work for me. I literally spent all day today on it.

Neulich fühle ich mich, als ob Deutsch das Wichtigste sei. Ich weiß nicht genau warum. Ich habe dies merkwürdige Drängen, auf Deutsch und nur so zu sprechen. Ich habe meine Flickr ins Deutsch geändert, um es zu üben (mit Hoffe, daß ich es nicht vergessen werde) und plötzlich habe ich mich erinnert, warum genau ich in Deutsch verliebt hatte. Diese Sprache ist so so schön. Ich finde es schwierig zu verstehen, warum soviele Leute es nicht mögen. Ja ich kann schon sehen, daß es nicht so romantisch als Französisch ist, aber Deutsch ist als schön, meiner Meinung nach

Die Sprache ist ehrlich nicht so kompliziert. Es gibt viele Ähnlichkeiten zwischen Deutsch und Englisch und es ist eine Sprache, die perfekt Sinn macht. Es gibt Regeln und das ist alles. Es ist die beste Sprache, denke ich.

Ich fühle mich ein Bißchen traurig, dass heutzutage nicht so viele Leute hier (oder überall) Deutsch lernen, oder Deutsch lernen wollen. Eben so in die Schule nun ist es nicht nötig, daß man eine Fremdsprache lernen muß. Vor ein Paar Jahren hat die Regierung ein Gesetz geschafft, das sagt, daß für Studenten mit sechzehn Jahren es nicht obligatorisch ist, eine Fremdsprache zu lernen.

I am so tired. And also very cold.

I couldn’t sleep last night. Not sure why cos I was exhausted from work all this week. Went to bed about half 11 but just couldn’t drop off. I remember looking at my clock every so often for the time, the last time I remember checking it was at half 3. And I got up at 6 so that’s 2 and a half hours sleep MAX.

Hmm.

Oh wait, that only works in the other movie with Daniel Craig in, right?

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS:

Although I don’t see why they can’t call it Northern Lights? :/

The Golden Compass is a shit title, really is. There isn’t even a golden compass. There’s an Alethiometer. Not the same thing. Plus, it’s really screw over the title of the 3rd one (if they make it) which should really be called The Amber Spyglass, because they do sound quite similar.

I bet they change it. I bet they change The Subtle Knife as well. To something stupid like The Horribly Vicious and Murderous Stabbing Weapon.

In other news, I changed my Flickr into German.

This song will light up your life, I promise.

I feel a bit better about photography lately. More inspired. More keen to take a lot of time to set up and capture the perfect shot. Even though I deleted most of the ones I did today and my ‘great idea’ didn’t work. But still! I can try again another time.

I need to upload everyday again.

On a different note…

Today has been amazing. I’m not even sure why so I am going to compile a list to work out the good things which make me feel so good.

1. Work was fun. I mean actually fun. I don’t care if that sounds sad, I felt AMAZING at work. I feel so comfortable among my colleagues now. I had some great conversations with my bosses. I got a lot of work done. Had a MINT time.
2. I bought new boots.
3. I posted photos to Ted.
4. All the new stuff for my skin I bought really works! Skin is getting clearer and clearer.
5. Similarly, the Body Shop does AMAZING make-up. I like their pale face base. I like the way it makes my skin look.
6. I feel good about myself.
7. I tried on skirts and decided I liked them again.
8. I have been out for a meal and had some wine mmm.
9. I like text messages.
10. It’s the weekend!
11. I feel a bit sick and I have stomach cramps but I still feel like smiling.

Go me.

The greatest photographer ever.

Jan von Holleben.

I like it when I look at the clock and see that it is 11:11. One of the pros of 12 hour time is that this happens twice a day.

Strange and somewhat scary dream last night. It started off with me being asleep. I mean, I dreamt I was asleep. Obviously I was asleep. My parents had gone out and I was tired, so I slept. I dreamt waking up several times, terrified there were people in the house because I thought the back door wasn’t locked.

Eventually I got up (in the dream) and went to investigate. The back door was indeed unlocked, and when I tiptoed through the house in the pitch darkness I heard voices. I turned on the lights, which now I think about it was very stupid, but I was terrified. There was a large family sitting down in my living room around the fireplace (I don’t even actually have a fireplace so erm wtf) all smiling at me. There were young children, their parents, and their grandparents. And a dog. I yelled at them to stop robbing my house but they smiled and said they just wanted a warm, dry place they could sit down and discuss their plans.

To be continued…
