Catch Up

So, what's been going on lately?

First of all, I've been reading a lot. You might know, that I dream about being an author and to be good at writing you have to read. Sounds weird, I know, but that's the way it works. So I'm going to the library and bringing home books over books. I've discovered some real treasures like the new Swedish novel "Circle" or my love for books about Africa.

I even got it for Christmas...

I guess, if you'd asked my friends they'd never believe that I wouldn't read for quite a while because I kinda live in a library. My room is full of books! But I need them - they never lie to you, you know?
What else?
Of course, I've started the third semester in college, which isn't new at all, because it's been 3 months already. I got myself into a Japanese class and had to start with the beginner level again. It was annoying that after 3 years of actual experience I had to start all over again with stuff like "Nice to meet you. My name is..." My sensei is also very ... well ... you could call it strict if you were being nice - no shortcuts! The good thing is, I learn Kanji a lot now! I've learned some before but not very intensly... interesting is, we're learning the Kanji, that come with the lecture, so I already know the one for science and library but not the one for mouth or eye ... It's kinda hard, but I like it. Weird...

It means 'beautiful'

Oh yeah, Disney On Ice didn't come to Berlin in 2012! Maybe it's not a big deal, but I noticed it a few days ago and was a little upset. It's always a cute show and I love, not being the oldest kid there.
Well, you can't change that I guess, I had distraction. For the first time in ... I don't know ... MONTHS OVER MONTHS, I went to the movies and watched

It is so freakin' amazing!! The moment I came back home, I was like: "I wanna go again!" and "What do you think, when will it be out on DVD?" I really loved it so much! Martin Freeman (not in the picture...) who plays the Hobbit Bilbo, is SO good! I loved him in an instant an he makes Bilbo very sympathetic. He also plays Doctor Watson in the British New Sherlock Holmes and you know, he's good. When you think about it, it's kinda funny, that Elijah Wood, who played Frodo in 'The Lord of the Rings' was not even 18 when they started recording and the actor of Bilbo is 41 ... Oh well...

In only one week, Renai will have its first performance of 2013 with our new tour... I'm so nervous, because our songs aren't even close to perfect and I don't know how we're going to do this. With a lot of luck, I guess. And now, we're having that one boyband song, that only 5 out of 8 members can dance and it's supposed to be in the show. What are we going to do?
Oh well, it's going to be full chaos I guess. The first performance is always experimental. I'm just afraid that one day the convention will say: "You always sucked here, don't come back!"
No, that's not going to happen. Just lately, I've been having nightmares of Renai screwing up a concert over and over again.

See you soon~~~
