Kleines Fest im Großen Garten [19 Jul 2008|10:34am]
[ mood | bouncy ]
[ music | Sex Gang Children - Dying fall ]


Warning: Insane amount of pictures... I mean it )



The "Little celebration in the Big Garden" is a festival in Hannover, where lots of artists get to perform small things scattered in the big garden at Herrenhausen for the whole evening, and one can go around and look at whatever one chooses to. There are also those who walk around in interesting costumes and... are interesting ;D The festival is held at several evenings a week throughout the summer.
Despite it not really being so that the visitors usually dress up, the Bri and I have done it every time, gotten a thumbs up from the manager of the whole thing once a few years ago and the other times he noticed us too and seemed to approve :D I wonder why other visitors don't pick up the habit...

Every year I want to just take a bunch of my friends and drag them there, but it has never worked out so far. One day it will!

Pictures from Köln! )



We stayed the night at [info]elfy's place and on the first day we were supposed to go up into the towers of the dome... but unfortunately we didn't find them. I am not even joking. Also we met [info]zorn and [info]schlemihl in the evening.
The next day we walked around and then met [info]zorn again in the evening just before we left.
All in all, it was more meeting people then sight-seeing... which I muchly prefer to be honest.

Basically, same as Berlin... it was awesome and we have to come back soon! :D

Pictures: Berlin! Hannover! Bennigsen...! [14 Jul 2008|03:15pm]
[ mood | busy ]
[ music | Einstürzende Neubauten - stella maris ]

First, some pictures from our visit to [info]rattenmaus in Berlin )

I should've been taking more pictures in Berlin! I am slightly annoyed at myself for that.



And then some from the Hannover fleamarket, of one particular stand ), that made Bri all giddy, because of the selection of desirable music being far greater than what any store in northern Sweden has to offer, and some interesting people... and from grilling ) at my parents' place.


I should also be posting pictures from our visit to Köln/Cologne, where stayed at [info]elfy's place and also met [info]zorn and [info]schlemihl.

Germany [04 Jul 2008|09:43pm]
[ music | The Legendary Pink Dots - The Hill ]

Quote [info]briseis: "There are many ways to be good, not involving pistacio."


So yeah... we're in Germany. We're going to be busy, since we are going to go to Berlin (tomorrow), to Köln (next Thursday and Friday), might be taken along to Hamburg (at some point), going to the Kleines Fest im Großen Garten (sometime next week), to a little zoo-like thing near here, to Hildesheim, Hameln (all at some point) and want to go clubbing, too.

The camera will be taken along...

Dinosaurs, Germany, Computers and Issues [29 Jun 2008|10:30pm]
[ mood | calm ]
[ music | Deine Lakaien - Dialectic ]

After I had finished the dinosaur for [info]rattenmaus, I wanted to start on [info]pussinboots' and maybe even get it done before we left for Germany. Then when the glass eyes I had ordered came I realised they were way too small. So now I am probably going to take all the material with me, then I can also just buy some suitable eyes there.

The Bri and I are going to meet several people we haven't met in real before, and that promises to be fun. Also we have plans to go to three different clubs in Hannover (two of them new, probably they started to fill the empty space left by The Base).

My computer has started to shut itself down regularly, without asking, and seemingly without reason :/

I have this stupid thing were I start a mail conversation on a community with someone. And then I forget to reply for several days... and then I don't dare to log in for ages... and then months have gone, and I am sure the person I was talking to hates me. What's wrong with me?
However, I am seriously planning to reply to the comments to the petrol-entry, since there were a lot of thingssaid that I thought were interesting. I just have almost no time at all right now, with preparing the trip and doing various last minute things before leaving.

The hair ;) [25 Jun 2008|03:37pm]

[ music | Pink Floyd - Sorrow ]

Pictures of my hair :P )


The bleach was too weak for my previously unbleached bits of hair (didn't have any 12% peroxide left), so the roots are a lot darker. But I like it anyways.

And [info]rattenmaus will get this when I'm in Germany in July...

I just dyed my hair red again. Haha! *dies*

[info]rattenmaus, lets see if I still have it when I come to Berlin, if so, then we can actually do the fake-redheads dance together. In real ;)

Ok, I worked it out: A gallon of petrol/gas costs $9 here. People in the US need to stop complaining.

Ok... so surely not everything in my last picture post (not the link to Bri, the one below) was uninteresting? :/ I thought at least the Lexxians would notice something among that batch.

(yeah yeah, sorry for whining)

Various Different Things. [17 Jun 2008|06:14pm]
[ mood | artistic ]
[ music | Malaise - We are Colliders ]

Things I got from Janna's fleamarket! )


An amazing coat, an old book and a matchbox.



This one quite a few people on my friendslist should get... )



And some other things! )



(A new sofa in the kitchen, a plush spider and a fern I stole)


Also I dyed Sarel's hair )


I fiddled a bit with the colour balance in these, but I still couldn't get the colour to look like it does in real... it's a lot less blue.

Apart from taking pictures (and having them taken), I have spent my time hairdyeing (obviously, but not only Sarel, but also Bri and Magnus have gotten new haircolours), painting t-shirts, sewing dinosaurs and working a bit at the store. And obsessively checking what has happened (or so far, not happened) to my uni applications.

I need new icons. All the ones I have now are old.

Also the Bri and I are going to Germany in about two weeks... Aaaahhhhh, I need to talk to people about meeting *flails*

I've lost yet more of my belief in this world: One can get moss-poison for lawns.

Basutbildning & pictures... [09 Jun 2008|09:27pm]
[ mood | accomplished ]
[ music | Janus - Saitenspiel ]

I called the university today, and it seems my social blablablah-points have gotten through, and I won't have to panic over my applications for next autumn getting rejected, so... yay!
And that means I actually, seriously, after one and a half years, am done with my preparation courses!!

There were a few amusing things that happened during the courses...

Like Chipal's confusion about where I was from: When, after one whole term (!) she found out I was from Germany, she was very surprised and said I didn't look German, and pointed out my painted-on face dots. She never actually said anything about what she thought they meant, but I am amused by the thought that for the whole term she may have assumed that I was from some small island kingdom, and the dots next to my eyebrows meant that I had gained the right to be seen as an adult because of killing my first giant armadillo with my bare hands and teeth.

Or handing in paper after paper with completely bizarre sentences, because I got tired of writing sane ones with the lists of words-to-use we were given every week (I should post some of them here eventually ;) ). And the self-chosen essay topics, of course.

We dyed Magnus' hair differently again... now he resembles a strange plush animal )


And Velicio is still the best cat ever... this is why )
