Maybe I'll manage to post at least one entry a week this year? We can talk about content later.

My one week of freedom will be over soon. And amazingly I got a lot of stuff done in the 6 days I didn't have to go to the clinic and had the flat for myself.
I've come to realize that that second point is quite important. I just work much better if I can make my plans without taking into account other people.

As if to prove that, J. came back from her parents' yesterday, so huge parts of today were spent sorting out her messed up psyche which of course resulted in less work being done.
My whole family is pretty crazy, but if there's one thing they aren't it's cruel (unconsciously or otherwise). J.'s on the other hand are a lot more normal but they are also really fucked up.
Can I just say again at how much I suck at comforting people? Or helping with emotional problems? I try my best but I'm just no good with it.

Whatever. Tomorrow it's back to the grindstone again. Let's see how alive I feel after a few days of that.
At the moment, I'm seriously contemplating signing up for one of the sports courses again. The only thing stopping me are the times offered. I'm just not confident I could get to some gym every week at 18:00. I consider myself lucky to leave work at that time after all.

I also want to welcome trimethoprim to this journal. The reason this warrants special acknowledgement is that I strongly suspect it to be F. (at least I really hope so, otherwise I gave a sick and unsuspecting friend about five cds of zipped porn manga) which would make it the first person I've known for years in RL before they found my LJ
Considering I use this name pretty much everywhere and have sent lots of people the link to my other LJ, I think it's saying quite a lot about how unfamiliar the people I deal with in RL are in the noble art of e-stalking.

I got the DVDs!!!

Thank you so much!!! You are awesome!!!

(which cannot be said for flatmate, although I like her. Who the fuck takes the mailbox keys with them on holidays? Could ahve seen the goodness earlier!)

Thank you!!!

[ridicully]

Oh good. I was afraid the might have gotten lost.
I hope you enjoy them :)

you have another LJ?

[ridicully]

I have a rarely used german journal.
(Es war vor dem großen Praktikum letztes irgendwie einfacher ein neues LJ zu erstellen, als jedem den ich den Link zu diesem Ding hier schicke zu erklären "Nein, du Einträge der letzten paar Jahre sind nicht wirklich wichtig. Du kannst sie gerne lesen, aber was neues ist immer vorne zu sehen. Und die englischen Einträge interessieren dich wahrscheinlich auch nicht sehr.")

da mich neuigkeiten von der diss und dem dienst immer interessieren, werd ich's gleich mal frienden. wieso eigentlich killerkarpfen?

[ridicully]

Irgendwie ist der Name einfach mal enstanden. Die lange Nase und das Luftschnappen vielleicht. Irgenwann war es einfach Kuno der Killerkarpfen.

I know what you mean about working better without taking other people into account. It's one of the things I've noticed when I have houseguests, in particular. I can very easily get myself ready to do things. It's even pretty easy to get myself and Connor ready together. When K is involved, too? Nightmare. Add houseguests? Impossible. I find I have to let go of my controlling need to be on a schedule when other people are involved. Which, at times, is bothersome. *sigh*

You are incredibly lovely and wonderful, and I really didn't expect that. ♥♥♥♥ Anything at all I could send you in return, e.g. anything British that you might miss?

[ridicully]

No problem, after all I didn't manage to send a christmas present to you :)

[starcrossedgirl.livejournal.com]

And you're sure you don't want anything in return? *feels a little guilty*

[ridicully]

Nah, don't worry. I *like* to make people happy :)

Pssst, I'll be in Berlin for a few days at the end of this month :D Want to meet up for random fangirling and nibbles or something? :)

haben karpfen nasen? es ist eine alliteration, das kommt immer gut.

[ridicully]

Add houseguests? Impossible.
Oh gods, yes. The only reason I get anything done when having guests? Is because normally no guest is awake at the time I leave for work. So I get a dose of living on a schedule and that makes it possible to survive the rest of the day.

[ridicully]

I'm always in favour of random fangirling :)
Shall I'll poke you once you've metioned leaving for Berlin?

I'll have to check absolute dates and whatnot with the boy, since I'm meant to be bunking there, but trouble is he's had some... um... trouble of a fiery kind at his place, so I think my visit'll be shorter than anticipated. I know I'll be arriving on Thursday 25th at least, and will probably be about until the following Monday to giv you a bit of notice :)
