Growing up and being silly

That's what it's all about, princess!

So, you wonder how being adult is working out for me, right?
Besides the fact that I mix up my languages (including grammar!) on an hourly basis and getting far too excited about the little pleasures of my days, I think I'm doing a fairly good job at being an adult. Almost adult. Nearly almost adult. Okay, maybe I have not yet grown up entirely.

But I no longer worry about paying rent. And I only snooze my alarm for 30 minutes now. I even sit with my flatmates and watch mind-numbing TV shows after work - because that's just what I need after eight hours of talking. The Mumsy is really proud!
I still don't sort my washing by colours tho'.  And I still don't cook. After having thought about it for the first three weeks, I now no longer bother. Whatever can be heated up or baked in the oven will have to do for tea.


But, although I might have not fully grown up, I have moved on. And moving on is AWESOME! It is liberating and a giggle!

I might have sorted out my wardrobe and shipped all my earthly belongings to London at the beginning of the year, but there were little bits and pieces that I have dragged around with me for years quite a while now. Things I could not put in a box and leave in Germany to fall into oblivion.
Not all of it was bad, but it wasn't doing me any good either. So I did a lot of thinking and a bit of moaning, I threw in some laughter and new POVs, and let time and this beautiful city do it's magic - and voilà!

One year later, and I have finally conquered The Big O (explanation will follow) and I am in the midst of building a whole new life in London, England, Europe, Planet Earth.

Next stop - THE MOON!

So here's to new adventures

And the award for the blog with the biggest lack of update goes to....

I apologise, my friends/readers/strangers; I live in the most exciting city of the year and just don't keep you posted. Naughty, Danny, naughty!

So, it's been quite a while but I have a pretty good excuse for my absence. I have been INSANELY busy. Turns out, I actually have a life after all.

My summer in beautiful London was like a fairytale! I was just about to type "minus the romance", but I actually fell in love... Gorgeous, expensive, always busy, demanding, never boring, mood depending on the weather, full of surprises... that's how I'd describe my lover - also know as LONDON. The city was buzzing with excitement for the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics. And both have been a huge success. Yes, see, we're really happy together.

After all the awesome events of the summer I had to get back to the more serious side of life. Big sigh. Don't we all, tho?

So I started to sort out my life, once again, and get ready to tackle the next big adventure my lover had in store for me: a new job and a new flat. Starting a new job in a new company is not so much of a first, whereas living on my own is. From apartment hunting and paying rent to buying all the stuff the Mumsy used to get for me, it's aaaall new. It's very exciting, very scary, very interesting. 

But I am slowly getting used to my new tiny room, the funny flatmates and my public transport journey to work. I am actually starting to live like a proper adult, huh? Dear....

There's been a lot of changes. [Insert philosophical quote from Sex and the City about how life always changes and the world never stops spinning, ect] 

I have also added a new feature to my blog (that I will command myself to update regularly again) so you can now find a link to my book reviews on the right side bar. And since I still, and always will, spend the majority of my free time having my eyes glued to pages please feel free to leave me a comment about your favourite book, any book or even the most crappiest nonsense you've ever read and I will make sure to check it out. You can also leave me a message on tumblr or tweetelede me on the twitterverse. And of course, leave me the link to your online diary and I will snoop around.

So that's done. I'll continue to be all grown up now and...wait, what do adults do on a Sunday night?

10 randoms

Since I have nothing to write about that wouldn't fry my brain, I thought I'd give you a litte bit more information about myself by sharing 10 random things - about me. I have found this over at A Martini Always Helps and thought I'd join the fun. Because I am just that bored interesting.

So here it goes.

1. I live out in hicksville. Barely 1,000 peeps. And I hate it. I have spent all my life there and it is driving me nuts.

2. I love the bestie more than anything. We communicate through facial expression and inside jokes. One day we're going to write a book.

3. One thing, the only thing, I always take with me is my phone. Which means that, theoretically, I am within easy reach at all times. Yeah, well, just in theory.

4. I love big cities. There. That's why I don't fit in here (in above mentioned enviroment). I've tried, I've failed. I need traffic and malls and public transport and big buildings. And no cows as my neighbour.

5. I have spent one year in the US of A. As an au pair. And it was the best decision I've made to date.

6. Once every now and then (everyday, really) I wish I was a cat instead of a human being. Because being at cat must be awesome!

7. Cake makes me happy. So do fruits.

8. This time next month I am going to queue up in a line together with loads of other over-excited fangirls to see McFly - four talented, british, gorgeous, incredible guys. In London. After that I will probably go up to heaven, because this will be one of the bestestes days of my life. Duh! (If you do not know who McFly are, stop reading this and stand in a corner!)

9. I'm a dreamer and dreaming is what I do.

10. If I'd win the lottery I would give some money to the people I love and spent the rest of my days travelling the world. And then buy loads of apartments in all the great cities. Wooop!

There we are. 10 things about me. Should I mention that it took me one hour to even find 10 random facts about myself?

So, your turn. Do the same and leave the link in the comments.
Remember - embrace the randomness!

Of cats and too much sexiness

In the spirit of being random please enjoy following video:



This is one of my favourite human beings. Ever.
Watching this might make you fall in love with him. Or the cats. (I've got this song stuck in my head since yesterday!)

Enjoy, my dears, enjoy.
