Should I worry about that?

Just did a quiz and now I wonder whether I should worry about it...


Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose. You are a
mystery novel dealing with theology, especially
with catholic vs liberal issues. You search
wisdom and knowledge endlessly, feeling that
learning is essential in life.


Which literature classic are you?

this is awesome!

I found this link in Katie MacAlister's blog
It's awesome, but you really should assure that your screensaver is off for at least 10 minutes. Otherwise it will disturb you while watching the video clip.
Another thing: Try watching it full screen! It'll make the experience even better :-)

Joss Stone - Fell In Love With A Boy

Fell in love with a boy
I fell in love once and almost completely
He's in love with the world
And sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
He turns and says, "Are you alright?"
Oh, I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside,
Sarah says it's cool, she don't consider it cheating

Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh

Red hair with a curl
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes were peepin
Can't keep away from the boy
The two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can't think of anything to do
My left brain knows all of love is fleeting
He's just lookin for somethin new
I said it once before but it bears repeating

Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh

Can't think of anything to do
My left brain knows all of love is fleeting
He's just lookin for somethin new
I said it once before but it bears repeating

Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh

Fell in love with a boy

He's in love with the world and sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
He turns and says, "Are you alright?"
Oh, I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Sarah says it's cool, she don't consider it cheating, oh

Don't go telling no more
Don't go telling no more
Don't go telling no more lies on Sarah
Don't go telling no more
Don't go telling no more
Don't go telling no more lies on Sarah

Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh

Can't think of anything to do
My left brain knows all of love is fleeting
He's just looking for something new
I said it once before but it bears repeating

Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh
Aaah aah aah oh

Gonna tell you what's on my mind
I'm gonna tell you what's on my mind
Cause it bears repeating

Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

I thought I'd start a new 'more or less regular'... I'm going to post the lyrics to songs that for some reason or other fit the moment I post them...

Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Loving Feeling

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, baby.
But baby, baby I know it...

You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, baby.
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.

You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah.

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.

We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.

So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.

Baby baby, baby baby,
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love I need your love, I need your love I need your love,
So bring it on back So bring it on back, Bring it on back so bring it on back.

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
And I can't go on,noooo...

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...

I am...

• annoyed
• angry
• sad
• pissed off
• in a bad mood
• unhappy
• quite close to crying (the last time has been about 3 years ago!)
• negative about everything and everyone

You wonder why?

Well, that's really easy... Lately I wondered whether my private life will end up just like my life at university. I took courses to become a teacher for English and French for 2 days. I was really annoyed at the end of day 2 (I think I wrote about it back then) and was relieved, when my mother called to tell me I had received a letter telling me I was accepted to study law. I don't think I would have finished it :-( Getting that letter was a great opportunity, but right now it seems like my private life might go just that way, too. Why do bad - well, let's say not so good things have to happen more than just that one time? It just istn't fair... I didn't do a freakin' thing to deserve that everything is a mess... At least, that's what I think. Maybe I'm wrong there???

All I know is, this is really bugging me - and I have no clue what to do about it...

It's been a while...

... since I last posted. But I have been really busy with university-related things - including two papers. I still haven't finished those two papers and I don't have too much time left.

Especially cause last Tuesday I got a letter saying I got accepted for a practical training in court... This training will start within a month. I can't wait! I'm so excited I would love to start right now... I don't want to wait!

Unfortunately, that's pretty much it...

off to Hogwarts - day 2

I finished the book this aternoon at 1:45. It was simply amazing and now I'm already wondering about book 7 - am I a wacko?!?

off to Hogwarts - day 1

So now, the new Harry Potter book has arrived and I will not me available for the next few days. The only thing I can offer is pretty much regular updates on my reading and how far I've got...

The book has 607 pages.
I'm at page 326.
That leaves me with 281 pages to go.
I've just finished chapter 16 of 30.
The chapter is called A Very Frosty Christmas.

off to Hogwarts - or so I thought...

Well today was the big day for all Harry Potter fans, no matter what age. The release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

Since I count myself to the Potter fans I was really happy about this and had trouble doing anything at all today. After all, I had pre-ordered my copy like last December 22nd, so what the heck could possibly happen?!? I was sure to get my copy in time just as Amazon had promised, right?

Yes, well, rather not... When the mail got delivered today around noon and I saw a package from Amazon among the mail for us I just thought 'Yay, here it comes, my weekend of undisturbed reading Harry Potter!' But when I opened up the package I was really disappointed to see the DVD box of Ally McBeal season 1 in it, which, btw, shouldn't have arrived till Monday earliest!

So I went off to check my mail account to see whether they were delivered by different parts of the German Post World Net - and strike, so it was! So i decided to wait a bit longer before I was going to write a complaint to Amazon.

Then, arround 2 p.m., I got a phone call from customer cares asking me whether I had received my copy. Umm, nope?!? So they told me not to worry DHL would be delivering till 6 p.m. - okay, so there was a chance for me to get my copy, right? Wrong!

At 6:15 p.m. I again went to get online and officially write a complaint about not getting my copyin time, but when I was filling out the form and came to the number of the order I had to check my mails, cause that's something I never have in mind.

So I opened another window to check my mails and what had I gotten? Right, an e-mail from Amazon...

It started like that:

Hier ist eine wichtige Nachricht von Amazon.de:

Wir muessen Ihnen mitteilen, dass Ihr vorbestellter Band "Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince" von Joanne K. Rowling nicht am 16. Juli 2005
ausgeliefert werden konnte. Der Band wird erst Anfang der naechsten
Woche bei Ihnen eintreffen.

Dies tut uns ausgesprochen Leid!

Translation:
"Here is an important message from Amazon.de:

We have to tell you that your pre-ordered volume 'Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince' by Joanne K. Rowling could not be delivered July 16, 2005. The copy will be delivered to you early next week.

We are utterly sorry!"

Yeah, I'm sorry, too! I'm sorry I trusted you to have it delivered in time, I'm sorry I have the strong urge to wring all your necks, I'm sorry I won't be able to do so cause - lucky you - I don't know a single Amazon employee...

Actually, I do give a damn about you being sorry. I want you right in front of me now, on your knees begging for your lives! *eg* I'm pissed, but okay, this just means you have one customer less for the next couple months. I can as well order my books elsewhere, no problem about that, I only enjoyed getting everything I needed at Amazon... I certainly don't have a problem about actually leaving the house to pick up my books and DVDs and whatever at local stores. I think they really desserve it cause there I would have gotten my over 6 months before pre-ordered book just in time...

I also don't really care about you giving me that damn book for free. I wouldn't have mind paying for getting the book in time. As a matter of fact, I already paid!!!

But enough ranted, I'll go and try to find some book - I hope I find one cause I finished off the books I had started in a hurry getting ready so that I wouldn't have anyting that could distract me from the book...
