India is very interesting. It was the topic of one semester of my English course. We watched "Passage to India" and had to read "Heat and Dust" by Ruth Prawer- *insert weird Indian name here*. I'd really like to see a culture different from western civilisation, I have never been anywhere else than Europe and America. I am so curious about what studying will be like. What living on my own in the big city will be like. San Francisco Gay Pride was just great. It is very different from what it is like in Germany. The German gay prides are mostly just big parties. When I arrived in San Francisco, leaving the BART station at Powell Street, two lesbians passed me by, one looked at me, smiled and said: "Lots of lesbians around here." She was so right.The whole cíty was full of gay and lesbian people. An amazing experience, it almost felt as if we were the majority. The concerts, the rainbow-flags, the parade... Would have been more fun with some friends, though.

Sure I remember you! It always makes me happy when people discover artists I adore. I saw Kaki King live in March. Probably the greatest concert I've ever been to, and definitely the most life-changing. Well... I am still waiting for the universities to either accept or deny my applications. Stuff will start in october, which means that I still have a month and a half for my favourite activities like... well... hanging around, basically. This is what I've done for the past 6 months. All my life, actually. I took a break from hanging around to see San Francisco Gay Pride and San Francisco Dyke march, furthermore Yosemite, Sequoia and King's canyon national parks and Los Angeles. I've been to Cologne and to Belgium and Hamburg Gay Pride. I was very much impressed by the Murals in the Mission. Guerrilla Art is so fascinating. And you? What have you done/ seen/ experienced? Greetings and... Peace! ;)

I also agree with your 'about me' section. Funny enough I'm in Portland right now. I've spent the last week in a vegan co-op/interning at the rock'n'roll camp for girls. It was quite possibly the best experience of my life. If you'd like to talk more just message me!

But if you had prevented it from happening, you wouldn’t even have known it could happen that way, right? So you can’t know how often you already succeeded. I have déjà-vus sometimes, but that’s a different category I guess. Iced green tea is good as well, but I like the whisky-like color of Earl Grey better, somehow. Well, most importantly, it should be cold. In Germany, you are allowed to drink beer when you are 16, but most people start consuming it when they are 14. Beer is the national beverage here, it is the basis of every party. I usually prefer wine or gin tonic, but on hot summer days, beer is more refreshing. I’d like to ask you if I’m allowed to ask random, but meaningful questions as well. Sounds like an interesting idea to me, and I have some on my mind. I hope you had enough sleep tonight, as I know that being tired can be awful both for you and your environment. I wish you all the best, and I hope that this day is different. Greetings.

I can translate Swedish newspapers to German but can’t really speak the language which I think is kind of sad, but I’ve never had the energy to really learn Swedish, and it is probably more useful to improve my French and English. Plattdeutsch is not a dialect, it is a language of its own that is spoken in Northern Germany, but is unfortunately about to become extinct. However, I can speak it fluently and I love the sound of it. It also makes it easier for you to learn English, because the grammar rules are quite similar. What you talk about is what I meant by “your thoughts become disconnected and concentrated on that person”. I know that as well. And the rest is just longing, isn’t it? Longing is such a nice feeling. It’s bittersweet, like melancholy, but somehow brighter. And, different from melancholy, it can also be positive. Makes you smile from time to time. Your dream is strange.

I think I can imagine what that feels like. Just when you want sleep so badly, you are kept from dozing off by thoughts that keep wandering through your mind. In that case, I just turn on the TV, usually some lame documentations, telenovelas or political talks. If possible, in a language I don’t understand, so I can be sure that it doesn’t keep me awake (usually some programs from the Netherlands or Spain or Poland work really well, German regional telestations are also uninteresting enough). Another thing I do when I can’t sleep is listening to classical piano music. I can only recommend Frédéric Chopin. If nothing works, I start counting prime numbers, a little bit more interesting than just counting imaginary sheeps. A friend of mine counts backwards from thousand, all even numbers in German and all uneven numbers in English. Swedish just sounds cool. I’ve already been there five times and know a lot of words.

I never had such a dream. Well, I usually remember dreams when I wake up, but they never influence my conscious life very much because they never show something to me I’m not already aware of. Sometimes they leave a feeling that will stay for a day or two. If this is what you call “infiltrating”, the last time I had such a dream was tuesday night. “The Shipping News” by Annie Proulx is probably the rainiest and greyest of all books I know, the film by Lasse Hallström fails to transport this atmosphere. My preferred drink on the hottest summer days is iced tea, Earl Grey with exactly three ice cubes and lemon, but no sugar. A cold beer would be fine, too. Peace.
