in about an hour i have my last final, and the most horrible one, too, and then (hopefully) it'll be over. not my life, i mean... this semester. which means a return to dufferish roots, if i know myself... (sturnidae? is that you?)
oh, and does anyone have an idea of what to tell teenagers about 1 timothy 3? it says that church leaders shouldn't have more than one wife, not drink, not be violent, and so on... i'm not really sure of what to tell them... *waldo*
ah, well, if i can do sprachtheorie / sprachphilosophie, then i can do that! if i can... if i can... if i can... *obama appears* YES WE CAN! mf: oh, good, then...

[e'zamenis]
yes, in about an hour i have my portuguese linguistics exam, and i'm looking forward to being done with it.
the first half of february will only be like this... oh man, it seems i am developing a life after all, and i don't like it. too stressful, and those rare moments of bliss, just because you have learned for 3 hours straight after weeks of lazy misery... is it worth it?
it better be.
até logo, meus amigos. nao há nada que escrever.

to the citizens of the federal republic of germany
dear citizens,
i recommend staying at home today. this means not setting foot outside. not even one foot. you see, i did, with the noble and honorable intention of buying buns for breakfast, and how was i rewarded? first, i slipped right in front of the house, as a result of this train of thought: "hey, there's much less snow today, it probably rained tonight. cool, it probably ain't all that slippery no moooaahhhhh!" i then discovered that it probably did rain, and freeze right away, so the whole pavement looked very innocent but was covered with a vicious layer of ice. i proceeded to slidder onto the street where there was this tiny upwards curve. after trying several times to get up there, i held onto the house and i made it! then i sliddered to the bakery, not wondering anymore why there were so few people out here.
do not go out of the house. except if you're the pavement-defrosting-man in your powerful pavement-desfrosting-machine.
i liked the snow better...

to the impatient mob out there
...writing hate mail to me because i haven't posted anything here since the dark ages. i'll tell you what three mistakes you made (it's always three, do not mock the three!)
1. you wrote hate mail to me. that's not nice. love mail would encourage me to post more, but not hate mail. ignoring me isn't all that effetive, either, as long research has shown.
2. i haven't posted anything here, but then have i been idle all days long? the answer is yes. you should have followed my example instead of busying yourself with that hate mail.
3. that wasn't the dark age. the dark age is approaching, and it is called "those exams in february".
see? no reason to worry.
now, after i remembered my password, i can go on posting. now what am i going to post...? ah, rats, there's nothing in my head...

10 things i could do with this post
1. write a lengthy entry about the amazingness of snowballs hanging 12 inches above the ground in thin air.
2. feed it, change its nappies and wrap it in a warm blanket.
3. sell it on ebay.
4. paint it yellow.
5. fold it into a paper plane (yes, go on, wonder what kind of ogre i am if i can fold my computer into a paper plane!)
6. fill it with numbers (sad, but true)
7. poke it.
8. teach it about the importance of fingernails.
9. kidnap and hold it captive in an empty shed.
10. wring its filthy little neck. kill them! kill them both!

a well-structured post
in this, admittedly still capital-less post, i will talk about the following:
1. what is so great about my way to uni
2. my sub-conscious
3. some random thoughts that will occur to me then
firstly, my way to uni. it might well be the best part of the day, closely followed by the yoghurt i have for breakfast (honey-flavoured). see, i walk to uni every day. it's a 25-minute-walk, for most of it on this smallish path next to this trickle of water. and my mp3-player is usually with me, turned up to the max... i like walking, and i like music, and i like this awesome autumn thing we have going on here at the moment. the three of them combined make for a perfect 25 minutes. today we even had fog - fog that made the town white! i kid you not. that's why i like walking to uni. also, it wakes you up, and it's not as suicidal as cycling. buses? ph!
secondly, something weird that's been happening to me throughout the last week, or even for longer. but only lately have i become aware of it. i always wake up ten minutes or so before my alarm goes off. honest. i wake up, and if i'm feeling quite alive already, i hit my alarm, bling, the light comes on and it says "almost time to get up, sweetie" (if he could talk, he would definitely say that... along those lines...). it's weird. it's my inner alarm or something. i wonder what would happen if i didn't set my alarm tonight. would i wake up at all?
the mysteries of life.
i just looked up "name" in wikipedia (in german) and found some hilarious names that have been rejected as first names. things like "tom tom", "verleihnix" (the fish man in asterix, remember?), "borussia", "hemmingway", "mechipchamueh", lafayette vangelis", "peppermint", "schröder", "moon unit" or "woodstock". i mean, come on, seriously, people! name your son asterix, but not that fat smelly viking thingy that growls in every episode "MY! FiSH! STiNKS! NOT!"
and that's it. tadaaa. nice and on topic, innit?

living out of boxes
no, not in a box. not yet.
but it's remarkable with how few things you get along fine. i don't know how much stuff is already parked in e&e's house in giessen, and i don't miss any of it! this is a good sign, i guess, at least i'm not one of those who would die without their light green nail polish. on the other hand, what do i think i will need the stuff in the boxes for, once in giessen?
hmm, maybe it just feels good being surrounded by books... yeah, that must be it.
i'm back from giessen (again) and looking forward to a less chaotic, more relaxing week. not that i didn't enjoy the chaotic part, but at the end i would have gone insane if i hadn't been too tired.
church hopping: i've been to anskar on saturday for youth group (where i felt very grown-up, i must say) and on sunday for the service (where i was too tired to enjoy it properly) and my impression is, yes, it's a good church, only in my opinion they focus too much on the people-side, and how everyone feels about everything, and what everyone can do to make everyone else feel better... some more, uh, straightforward worship would do them good, i think.
but i haven't crossed anskar out as a possibility. just hoping there might be something mind-blowing somewhere in giessen (because anskar is quite far away as well). for anyone who wants to know more - www.anskar.de/wetzlar
