Meh.
My lovely friend Jules sent me one of my favourite German band's (Wir Sind Helden) new album, which I have been waiting for for YEARS. And then they released it when I was moving to En-ger-land, so it was hard to get. And now I have it and don't like it. It's too... mushy and totally missing the clever, cheeky lyrics, which are the main reason why I love the band in the first place. What happened to your genius, Judith Holofernes???
More news from Germany: Talked to my mother for about 45 minutes, cause it was her birthday on Tuesday. (Which means that my Last-Ever-Childrens-Allowence which I will receive in a couple of weeks... (Wild!)... will probably pay for a birthday call to my mum. It seems right, in a way.)
Apart from my brother's homework and other incredibly interesting subjects we also talked about my decision to move here some more. I answered "yes" to the question if I still felt happy with it. And my mum said that she thought it was the best thing I could have done and gave me a list of people she has talked to (who I don't know) who think the same thing. It felt very good, hearing that.
I AM still so happy to be here. Every day. I don't want anyone to "bring me home" anyhow. *waves Wir sind Helden goodbye*
Yesterday I met up with Friederike again. She's been here for a month now and she loves it - even though she spends most of her time in Sidcup, where she works.
That is also why it took us so long to meet again. A month. That is ridiculous. We had a really fun time yesterday, though. We did some touristy stuff. I took pictures of her in front of Tower Bridge and all that, but then the camera's batteries died and we went to the pub.
Gabby has gone back to Germany... booooo... She will be back in a month and then for a few weeks over Christmas. I am sure we will manage to meet for Glühweins and Lebkuchen at the German Christmas market in Hyde park then.
Christmas. Yes, it has arrived in the supermarkets. It's getting cold as well now. Soon it will be time for me to pay Germanland a visit and pick up my winter coat and my orange dykey winter boots and maybe a jumper. I am looking forward to winter this year. I bet it will be better than this rubbish summer we just had.
SHADwise things are getting a bit messy. Spending cuts and all that, the organisation is getting it's funding pulled by the end of November. Not quite sure what that will mean for me. Loreena McKennit says she wants to employ Lisa and me directly, but I'm not sure if I want that. Would mean a lot of hassle for me and probably moving in with Delius and Romanus and I'd still not have much more money than I have now. We'll see. Wait and see. Have a nice cup of tea. Etc.
