Deutsche Märchen ♥

So here I am, on the same aerated bed I've flopped down on a thousand times over. Feeling the need to craft a little something... a full five months (.....OH OK and a half, goddamn you're pushy) after Oktoberfest, and life has seemingly carried me away over the little horizon it calls, well, itself. I guess I just felt a whole lot too "internet" for a while... me and said contraption have always had somewhat of a rollercoaster-relationship, I love what it can do but hate those who feel the need to broadcast every second of their lives... then felt I was doing just that ha. What a flamin' hypocrite, I know. Today, however, I got this little flutter-writery feeling in the pit of my belly.. the one that tells me to get immediately to putting word from head, down arm and onto some kind of paper.. generally, the times they are a'changin so I guess I wanted some sort of record. I've not put finger to key in months, I ran away with the Real Postal System for a while so perhaps I also miss the blogging process a little. Perhaps I don't, but I think it will take giving it a go again to find out. A little sidenote.. I have found myself to be rather more of the blogface sheepdog of late, with a rather hefty 8 followers (baa)... therefore this is dedicated to you, if you happen to be on that listo exclusivo. Have a biscuit, and what were you thinking?! I'll be honest when I say I'm as yet undecided on whether I'm "back" or not... but in the meantime, please bear with me whilst I figure out how words work again. :)

A starting point, then...so life is good, and it is great. Things are taking off a little, or at least they have that feeling about them... the summer is reappearing, and that makes me happier than I ever thought it should. In summary, lots of writeable stuff has happened... lots of unwriteable stuff too, mainly due to boring-ity than any kind of debauchery. I am currently roombound (voluntary, say no to slavery) at the end of a day full of day-trips, which sounds like the stuff of dreams, and in some ways was.. but I can now actually feel the accentuated bags underneath my eyes making themselves known.. saying that, I guess this is the sort of territory that's always explored when one suddenly finds oneself with three jobs... more on that later, and get your thoughts outta that gutter, if you please.

At this moment, there are a million other things I should be doing. Mainly working out, which since the seconds ticked across from 2010 to 2011 has become a daily occurrence in the Life Of Me.. with a week or so off due to being Super Stupid Sick. Still, not bad I'd say, and even if you disagree I'm so very proud of myself so couldn't actually give a shit.. :p and honestly, I can't begin to describe (present date excepted) how much more energy I have as a result, and how much happier I feel. Using this stupid iron willpower I have for something useful instead of just being generally awkward for fun, is much more worthwhile. Having bought my first size 8 item of clothing in two years hasn't been altogether unpleasant either.. ;) so, note to future lazy versions of myself: you love exercising! So why in the hell are you making excuses, put down the chocolate bar, get up and get running nowplz.. and for now, I give myself some amount of life points, I'll let you decide how many if you really have the botheredness. I also would like to suggest that if you do have the time to think about that, you could probably do with some kind of hobby. Jus' sayinnnnnnnnnnnnn

As for a small recap of other things that may, or may not be where I left them.. I'm still in love with that time of day between daytime and darkness, and endeavour to walk in it as often as life allows - I am specifically super happy about this time no longer being around 3pm. I've recently renewed the U/S-Bahn project I started all those many months ago, and have visited about five new locations, some of which were diar, some of which were wonderful.. but I guess that's just the world for you. Friends of mine have left, other friends have taught me how to knit... I've not met a whole lot of new'uns but am happy enough with the people I already know to not be bothered about that, too much. If anyone new I meet is at all enthusiastic about the knitting constantly in my hand, I instantly know we can be friends. New friendships sussed in just over 30 seconds, no effort required, sweet <3

Not to blame other things or anything, but to blame other things the original main hurdle with regards to my posting was actually my camera. Which decided, after I made a whole bunch of cool things I saw into pictures using it...(something I kept forgetting to do before, as it happens...) that it would stop turning on and therefore make said pictures unreachable. I wanted to add more pictures, so that you could see what I was seeing, even if the picture never does do the beautiful thing you've seen in person justice. I was tres upset at the whole spectacle, anyway...until I went hungover shopping one day and came back with a new one.

So, here's to a pictureful life, and to working out a way to get the (by the way awesome) pictures I already took off what is essentially now a useless piece of circuit board. Woohoo.. :|

Anyway.. that's some of where I am at the moment. Enough for now. I know it's not extensive. I know that I've not really even made any sort of dent in what's actually been happening.. but I know that if I leave this much longer it will be forever resigned to the graveyard that is my drafts file, cause my eyes are hurting and I sorely need some sleep. To surmount my original hurdle, at the beginning you will find a picture, fresh off the press from yesterday. Little Elly in the forest.. :) and I'll get around to the other stuff when I can.. maybe. If you're really that interested, hell, ask me!

Here endeth some words about life (mine).. I hope that life (yours) is going well..

Xxx
