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~~~

Disney on Ice 2011: Princesses and Heroes

So, yesterday was the day of Disney on Ice! I wasn't as curious as last year, because the theme was princesses and I really thought it would be to cheesy for me.

What I didn't think of ... less big-headed costumes and more princesses means more serious figure skating! IT WAS AMAZING!!!

There were some costumes like the dwarfs or Lumiere and of course they can't do anything, they have to keep their balance, right? But the boys and girls, who were just in fancy clothes, they could show all their strength!

A bit funny were the "small" characters ... like the dwarfs or Lumiere or Fabius and Sebastian and so on ... they're all taller than everyone else!! Except for Aladdin's Abu, because he was fake... so was Aladdin ... I don't mean to sound rude, but there's no way that guy and Yasmin were somehow Near East related... after all they were Asians.

I didn't take any pictures, because I had my video camera with me, so I'll make a video soon! But here are some official pictures from other sites:

And then my mom bought me this:

Weee, thank you Mama!! It was my very first snow cone! But it wasn't as expensive as in this picture... In was just like 7 Euro, not 15 Dollars ... Jeez, in the US they really skin Disney lovers...

So boring, so boring... and a little Lolita

What can I say?? I REALLY WANT TO BLOG MORE! But I don't know what I can talk about...

Currently, my whole life is just so boring.

Studying, training, rehearsal, studying, training, rehearsal, studing, traning reharsal, sting, tring, resal ... oi vey

IT'S JUST SO BORING!!!

Talking about university really isn't that interesting at all. I have to read a lot and when I'm done with that, I have to read some more...

In my Ancient World seminar we're currently talking about the conflict between Octavian and Antonius, which rings no bells in your mind, right?

It's actually not that bad at all... the main point is all about women during that time and I also have to read this book:

Which is quite good. So far, I've read like 1/3 of the book but I'll keep reading, so next weekend I'll be through half way.

In my Middle Ages seminar we're always talking about the 14th century, which is the topic. Currently we're talking about epidemics. It's really interesting, but also extremely disgusting, too.

Did you know, that the big Black Death epidemic, that killed like 1/3 of the European people, very likely wasn't the Black Death, but another much more dangerous desease.

Most people don't like history, but when you look at it from another point of view, it's often like solving ancient mysteries!

What else?

Oh right! I'll be going to Disney on Ice!! I'm so happy! I'm sure I'll be like the oldest "kid" but it doesn't matter to me.

This year's theme is "Princesses and Heroes", which sounds really cheesy and for girls.

I don't like the "Disney Princesses" concept very much, because I think a girl should slay her own dragons, but what the heck!

I'm sure the music will be great and there'll be some awesome iceskating involved! I hope they'll have Stitch, he always makes my day, but I doubt it... he's not very princessy...

I've also had a new Lolita shooting. It's Classic Lolita again and I feel like they're trying to pigeonhole me as a certain age type.

I really want to wear Sweet Lolita, too!! I'm still a girl! Please stop dressing me like a matron. Not always classic, not always dark colors, not always weird sleeve lengths! Please, either a JSK or an OP ... not these middle sleeves, I never know if I have to wear a blouse or not!

Ha well ... at least, I've managed to get a cute Country Lolita dress ... but it's almost December, damn it! oO
