It´s "that" Time Again, Isnt It?

4 gripes Brought to you by Zephyr at 4:44 AM

Bleh its that time again isnt it? It´s New Years Eve. (Yeh all of you who´ve been "wishing me happy new years at the strike of "12"... HULLLOOOO... ITS NOT THE SAME HERE, FOOL! ahem. lets continue.) So. Lets make this New Years the groviest, funkiest, most memorable New Years YET!! (and dont worry, if you botch it there´s always next year *wink*). So drink up, wear stupid hats, let off fire crackers, kiss someone (ANYONE) at the strike of 12 (uhhu... right...), swallow 12 grapes on the 12 seconds before the New Years (and try not to choke and die - and if you do dont blame me, I dont want my ass stalked for the next year), and DRINK MOJITOS!! (cuz i wont be able to [cry for me]. The stupid danes dont have mint ANYWHERE!! Believe me, I´ve looked.) Oh and send me unique shot glasses. And lots of cool stuff generally. And come see me after new years. We´ll have loads of food.

CHEERS!

Happy Christmas..

0 gripes Brought to you by Zephyr at 11:21 AM

all i have to say is... ANOTHER YEAR IS PAST!! Wow. I remember last year, the first time i ever saw this song, i was sitting on that big white couch with that colorful thing over it, bundled up against the cold in the non-heated house, laughing my sorry ass off. We proceeded to watch it over and over again till we´d memorized it. (remember, tim... REMEMBER??? lol. those were the days) so without further ado... The 12 Days of Christmas... BOLLYWOOD STYLE!!

Little things that turn entirely biased life quite wonderful

0 gripes Brought to you by Zephyr at 3:54 AM

A "big" airy day, hot sun, crisp cold air, on the top of a forested hill in the middle of nowhere, where you have to wear down jackets in the shade and nothing in the sun. Into The West by Annie Lennox goes well with days like that - so peacefully sad, and happy at the same time. Sitting in the sun, just looking off into the trees and hearing the wind and feeling it cold on your face, seeming like its the only sound in the world. I could sit like that forever. I think that´s how I´d like to die.

Another big day, lots of hot sun, loads and loads of humid heat, big white room, high above everything else. White curtains, white lamp shade, white soft, comfy everything. Sun coming in from every direction, a cooler breeze coming in now and again, soothing the smothering heat. that song goes well with days like this too...

Cold, dark evenings, with the rain pounding out on the balcony, wrapped up in a huge blanket, talking with friends over the din of the storm. Maybe a powercut or two... listening to random music, impulsive random cooking in the middle of the night.

Music that snatches your heart strings and your eardrums and holds on for dear life - here are some of the songs that do that (for me at least):

* Into The West - Annie Lennox

* So Cold - Breaking Benjamin

* Apologize - Timbaland ft. One Republic

* Erase - Mika

* The Scientist - Coldplay

* Fix You - Coldplay

* Violet Hill - Coldplay

* Requiem For A Dream - Immortality by Death

* Arms of Sorrow - Killswitch Engage

* Stockholm Syndrome - Blink 182

* I´m Lost Without You - Blink 182

* I Miss You - Blink 182

* You - Evanesence

* Anywhere - Evanesence

There are more.. Just cant remember...

Eating a well made omelete, (cheese, tomato, ham, salt, etc etc) going fast on wheels (blades, bikes, scooters... you name it) down a quiet side road with big empty green fields on either side, cold wind blowing. Going out with good friends, seeing a child smile at you.
It´s things like this, that make everything alright.

What I Miss

20 gripes Brought to you by Zephyr at 8:36 AM

Is it wierd to miss something you are just SOOOO happy is long over? Or even just things that are recently over that were part good, part not so good...? Things that, when you really think about it, were so terrible, nasty, or just downright awkward (on both sides)...?

I miss Madrid. (yeah, throw the tomatoes now please, I´m begging) That should be good reason to doubt my sanity. Over all, I think we´re all very happy that Madrid is over. But, I still miss it. The completely psycho things we would sometimes do, the walks I´d take every day with Antwone in the freezing cold, going to Peñas Albas, buying chuches, pipas in the back yard, wanabe photography (on my part) and endless photoshoots (with vicky), dropping anything from oranges to charcol into Adam´s precious water-filled beer mug (maaaan did we hear it from him after that...), midnight excapades, cat-a-pult (get it, get it? CAT? whatever) and the screaching meyows when they´d accidentally on purpose hit the tree - "whoops, did you hear a thump? Me neither. Next." Going to the Poli at dark in the dead of winter to attempt a photo shoot, get this, SOAKING WET. Needless to say I found that sub-zero temperatures dont go very well with wet clothes... Beer and pipas on wnr nite, avoiding the creepy security guard car, House, The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride, chatting, endless chatting... brazilian beans, kids that I eventually learned to love, Commercial centers and the Market first thing in the freezing, freezing morning, trying to climb the hill with 10 liters of beer on a suddenly sizzling day (still dont know how it got so hot so suddenly), and then being rescued from the climb after betting on whether the next car would contain english speaking occupants so that we would be able to hitch hike instead of walk (coincidentally, Adam and Rose happened to be the next car along... ) That hideous veggie room that was endlessly full of slime, pissed off people, freezing cold house, always under 4 blankets, sweaters, colorful stuff and white couches, frozen pizza, frozzen fried rice, and cheese... And a drunken, drunken new years.

And that was just Madrid.

Valencia, the slightly less insane, but nonetheless chaotic (in a very lovable way) home. The freaky but wonderfully perfect house, Los Niños, the wednesday supermarket pickups, summer, heat, the emo park, the red room, Airport Mania, Monkey Island with myself, Mishu, Mofius and Fran, empty rooms, couches, metal screaming, late, bright evenings (we´d get home at 10:00 pm and the sun would be setting..), parties, more wierd stuff, moving, painting, writing, more moving, Teramitica, people visiting, barbeques, graduations, birthdays, trouble, fun, worry, tender moments, sad moments, living, just living, building a home, going through the thick and the thin of it, and hopefully coming out a better person. Metting new people, making new friends...

And then there was, of course, Los Belones (ouch... :P)

Doing nothing all day (much to the anoyance of the others), putting babies to sleep at night, pubbing, making MORE friends, singing karaoke, pool parties, Commercial centers, actually making MONEY at Commercial centers, sudoku, parks, absinthe, beer, more beer... whining (on my part) cleaning (on Ozie´s and Esy´s part), and all that sort of stuff............

There´s a few more things that i really, really miss, but that´ll have to stay confidential.

So IS it that wierd that I miss it all so much...? It was home. My home. And after it is all said and done, thank God that I can only remember the good. And that´s what makes me miss it so much more.

I loved Spain.

No. Scratch that.

I love Spain.

Awesome new computer bag...

Crackersnap stuff

2 gripes Brought to you by Zephyr at 3:08 PM

You really shouldnt smoke in bed. It´s not safe. You also shouldnt sneak about at midnight on squeeky floor boards searching for vodka, beer, orange juice or water when someone´s sleeping 4 meters away. You shouldnt find people that like to call themselves Edward Cullen if they value their life because someone (you) will get very pissed off because they´re (you´re) secretly obsessed with him and the whole cheesy, but absolutely brilliantly wonderful saga.

- Guilty.
