uh, it's been a while and I've been very busy, but I'm actually too hungry, too tired and have to big a headache to tell you everything that happend, so I make it a short list:
1. new releases both in Mognet and Kizuna.
1,5. new typesetter welcomed in Mognet and finally released his first video (YUI - Rolling Star)
2. me joining another PV group - H!F (Hello!Fansubs), which basically are doing a lot of H!P releases and concert cuts.
2,5. me releasing 2 videos under H!F 2 days after I joined, but 3 more coming soon.
3. get e-mailed by my teacher, that I have to redo my research - suxx shit *sob*.
4. having Jules over and doing lots of funny stuff, basically sitting and watching concert DVDs from Johnny's Asso. YAAAAAAY *Jules_fluffel* but I still don't really like Kanjani8 :O sorry
5. getting new books by MaryJanice Davidson and being enraptured by her writing style. GOD - you should read these stories. I basically laughed my ass off - both with her "Fred, the mermaid" tales and "Betsy, the Vampire Queen" stories.
6. getting my hands on a copy of the latest album by "Wise Guys", a german a-cappella group. XD They are so greeeeeeeeeeat!!! *fangirlie*
okay... I think that's it for now.
add "did another 5 pvs, 2 commercials, 2 jtv clips, lyrics and stuff" to that list and you actually get the feeling for what I've been doing.
well, I'll keep in touch and come back soon, I promise!
bu-bye

Sunday again!
Now, can you believe it? It's sunday again and I'm officially on semester break now. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!!!
Though... I still have a shitload of work to do and no time to relax *sigh*
Well, can't be helped. I finished my last course today and what can I say? It was great. The course basically consists of presentations from diffrent people out of the media system Austria. We had a lot of diffrent types of people presenting us diffrent aspects of our future working situation. Now, the only thing I have to do is - write a short essay about how I think will the austrian media system look like in 2015. I hope I'll be able to formulate all my thoughts into this work and be done with it.
Anyway... as the headline already says: It's sunday, and sunday is the day for a new pv release; so here it is!
I decided to do this song from Mai Kuraki, which was actually released in 2006. What you can't see is, that the "snow flakes" actually are pixels and those pixels actually are real sylables which desolve into dots and move to the left. The thing is you can't see it since it's placed in a layer behind the actual effect.
I still like this effect though I really had problems with it. As you will probably see there are some syllables that don't finish the filling. I'm not sure why the problem occurs but I can't help it. I tried a lot of things but couldn't fix it.
The song is a cute ballad and considering Kuraki's style - nothing new. Why is it, that she always sounds pretty much the same?
Well, never mind.
Hope you'll enjoy.
Catch you later - still have a lot of work to do!!!!!!!

Andy McKee - Drifting
Okay, here's the one I told you in my last entry about. I had some trouble finding it on youtube, but... like always, I just had to open my eyes really WIIIIIIDE to see it. *gosh* sometimes I really wonder why I keep not seeing stuff even though it's there. Anyway. That's Andy McKee's Song called Drifting which is actually already 2 years old. THAT's the song which gave him such a huge sucess as you can see at the ratings this song got and the comments and the total Views. It's really awesome. Please, check it out.
See ya Around!

Andy McKee - Africa (original by Toto)
Well, if that isn't a masterpiece I don't know what is. Andy McKee, born in Topega, Kansas, is an US-American fingerstyle guitarist currently signed to the US-American record label Candyrat Records. His style of playing and his compositions have earned him a considerable fanbase; in late 2006, a live performance of his flagship song "Drifting" became a Featured Video on YouTube and MySpace, achieving over 10,000,000 views on the former to date and remaining one of its highest rated music clips. [partly copied from wikipedia]
McKnee startet playing guitar when he was only 13 years old, when his father bought him an acoustic guitar. Since 2001 he released 5 albums, the first still independetly, the others under the lable of CANdYRAT Records, which along with about 100 to 200 sold out shows annualy are highly recommended and a piece of art. He has also performed with other famous performers such as Don Ross, Antoine Dufour, Michael Manring and others.
Check out his music at youtube.com under the username of rpoland. You can also find other artists which are currently under the Candyrat Records.
Please buy his music to support him! (I'm currently still looking for CD's to buy too *gg*
oh... by the way - another highly recommended song is Drifting! Such a great piece!
New Video Release for Kizuna
I never once before wrote much about my german subtitling group Kizuna. So let me introduce you to them.
Kizuna is a group of people which really love asian music video, called PV (Promotional Video). Basically those are videos you could watch on broadcasting TV shows like MTV or so, they are just from someplace called "Asia". :) Anyway, this group mostly consists of me, the girl who does the effects for the videos, someone who times the lyric lines to the audio of the video and someone who does the encoding to acutally put the subtitles into the video to shine in full glory... *sparkle*
.....
Naw, that was melodramatic, but you get what I mean. Anyway. I want to keep track on my thoughts and everything I think about the videos I'm working on and YES, I know it's not nice to do fansubs and yes, I'm aware that it's actually not really legal, but I really like people who can't understand the language in which the song is, to understand what is sung in the lyric so basically we take the Kanji/Hangul/whatever, romanize them so we unholy mortals can read them properly and translate them into a language which we can understand - german and english for us then. Since nearly all my video are also released in english under the groups Mognet or BoAjjang,I also startet to release the videos in my german group to do them same for fans in Germany/Austria or whereever someone lives who actually want's german translations. I never intended or intend to get in the way of the big companies who hold the legal rights to this stuff, so sorry if you don't like it. I like the music and I like to do creative things to the letters and well... combine that and you get video fansubs, and it's not like those videos are going to ever be released or licenced in any of the European countries - and if they are, well I just stop the distribution on my part.
*sigh* Anyway, here's the new video for this Sunday.
I decided to do a song by popular alternative/pop-rock band Nakanomori BAND (中ノ森BAND), which is a four-member girl band from Japan. The song is from their 7th single which was actually a double-single release called "イソブラボー/雪; Isobravo / Yuki". Nakanomori BAND debuted in 2005 formerly as a five-member band but soon after the first two singles Tomoe (guitar) decided that she would leave the band so she could focus on entering university. Which leaves us the four other members of the Band: Ayako (guitar/vocals), Shinamon (keyboard), Yucco (bass), Cheeta (drums).
Unfortunately their first singles didn't sell that well (only #22 for them in the Oricon Charts) but suprisingly, despite the low sales for the band's singles, their first album "OH MY DARLIN' ~Girls having Fun~" reached a position of #9 on Oricon charts.
This january (2008) they released their 8th single "風になりたい; kaze ni nartai" which will be followed with the third album in march. Hopefully the sales grow by then...
That's it from me and the new update. Coming up is another youtube video I really like to share. See ya!

Four Hands Guitar
This is some awesome piece of craft - two people playing together on the same guitar. Jerry's Breakdown composed by Jerry Reed, played by Antoine Dufour and Tommy Gauthier.
I was looking for some more Andy McKee Videos (which I'm going to post one for you tomorrow) and stumbled upon this really nice piece. You should watch it if you really like guitar music. Have fun!
Oh boy! That were two really hard weeks since last I wrote here. I've had a pretty bad flu and couldn't come online for quite some time or do anything else for that matter and it S.U.C.K.E.D. You know, if you're like me you really like to hang around and do stuff and work on something or just plain read a fucking book but NO! I couldn't open my eyes for long time periods and so I was stuck with sleeping and lying around till my eyes got better. It's really bad if you can't even read while being sick. I was kinda light-sensitive then... well anyway, we stop ranting here and get on with it.
After recoverin enough to get back to the comp I've finished a lot of work.
Mostly I tried to finish all those "old" videos for the winter season and I had quite a lot of request-karaoke to do.
Since I don't want to get into detail I'll just make a list:
.//hack GU ED
Bamboo Blade OP & ED
Bleach ED13
Bleach ED14
Bleach OP7
Ichigo 100% OP
Initial D Stage 3 Movie OP, ED and Outro
Naruto Shippuuden OP2 new version
Ranma 1/2 Stage 5 OP & ED
Rosario + Vampire OP & ED
Tsubasa Chronicle Tokyo Revelations OVA OP & ED
Oh well :) can't help it but I still got like 5 other request works.
Hopefully I'll be done with them soon too.
I also - FINALLY - was able to fix up this one *beep* effect on which I was working now for like half a year. Everytime I really wanted to do it I couldn't really figure it out and that gave me more than once quite the headache. But finally I fixed it and it looks awesome. I used it in the Rosario Ending which works quite well since there are a lot of diffrent shapes flying around in the video.
Other than that I worked on those winter-y videos I talked about but I'll get into detail another time.
Since I'm okay again I've been reading quite a lot of books. One of the autors was Susan Sizemore and I tell you - she's one amazing writer. Her stories are quite intoxicating and I really like them. Finished off three books in 3 days which was a feast - but after that I was just plain tired. *lol* To make a long story short - Sizemore writes (i.a.) about vampires and werefolks.While her weres are pretty "normal" compared to other were stories I read her vampires are quite fascinating...
She writes about a three class system in which the vampire race is devided. Basically it's the Clans, the Familys and the Tribes. I really like her thinking here since she worked with actual forms of group dynamics. Funny is that she claims that the each class has specific attributes - while the Clans are the good boys, the Familys just try to blend in but aren't biased with saving the whole world and the Tribes sum up as the bad boys in town. Also interesting is the matriarchal system in which the women lead the houses and keep it all together. I like the thinking here since normally with all the other vamp storys you only get guys as the heads of a class/system/clan/whatever. I'm going to read the sixth book of this series now and after that I have to wait.
I also found out that this year will be an amazing year for me. 6 autors I really like to read are going to release new books which I can't wait to get my hands on. Among them is Laurell K. Hamilton who is going to release a new Anita Blake book "Blood Noir" in which Anita is going out of town with Jason. THIS will be interesting. I also found out that Kim Harrison is releasing her sixth book about Rachel Morgan - the earth witch. Hopefully the book will be good. I also just found out that in the recently published anthology "Holidays are hell" (my copie arrived yesterday!) she participated with a short story about Rachel in her youth where she's trying hard to get her brother to sign her I.S. (Inlander Security) application.
I can't stop reading - but most of all buying - books. Since december I bought like 15 new books - which is a lot, even for me. I hope to be able to refrain to buy anything in february but I don't think so. I'm a bad girl - but only when it comes to books *haha*
Well 'nuff said.
I'm going to go reading for a bit now since tomorrow I'll again have a 6 hour lesson - which is a really good lesson, but I'm still tired from lack of sleep so I'll just succumb now.
Bye, till next time!

Hello NEW YEAR!
Has it been 2 week again since I last wrote something? Ow, I'm so bad.
Sorry about that. I've been quite busy working on some new Karaoke and also on a presentation for college.
I also got down with flu this week and I feel like eaten and spit out again. *sigh*
So far from me.
If anyone wants to see my latest karaoke creations check out my youtube account or wait till I feel better to boast about them.
Take care and see you hopefully soon.

Back home!
Hey everybody, I'm back home.
... but only for today!
Yesterday was a really fun day. We went to the first Animexx-Gathering in Vienna, which was just plain great. Lots of fun and I actually selled out some old stuff and made 79€ plus! I was sooooooooooooooooooo happy. It's good to know that some of my old anime junk is worth something. I'll definitly sell some more next time. I also met some new people who actually know my work - which is great!
XD nothing against getting some feedback. It's actually pretty boring to never really get any messages. hopefully I can work out my new page so I'll get some activ members to talk to me - though that's still some time away.
After the event, which went on till 11pm, we went home to my place with 7 other people and had some drinks. After another 3 hours we sent them all home to get some sleep. I hosted three friends of mine in my flat and it seems as though they were really happy to be here. ^_^
Well and now, I'm just tired and i still have to clean up.
I decided to go back to my grandparents tomorrow and not today, so I still have some time to fix everything.
Now well, how were your christmas days?
Mine were really great. We had a quite christmas eve with yummi food and some prayers. after that we unwrapped our presents and talked a lot. Later that evening my gramps went to watch a music show and I talked with my aunt and granny over some wine. But something was a little bit... uh...unsatisfieying. I didn't really get anything "fun". I'm a real book fanatic and everyone knows that but I didn't get books or cds or anything like that. I got a new chair. Well okay, I know I need one badly and it's really nice to get one, but uh.. how should I put it - I didn't feel good with it. But can't help it, can I??
I'm happy for the new chair cause finally I can throw away this old old... ooooooooold chair here and get comfy again, but still!
uh well!
oh here! I'll share something with you!
Home-made cookies from my granny and aunt! They are delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I'll be gone for another week starting tomorrow, so I wish everyone a happy new year, good luck and health for 2008!
Seeya!

Gosh! I just came out of the kitchen with a hot mug of black tea (orange flavoured, yummi!!!!!!!) and looked outside! It's FU**CKING snowing out there! God, I'm glad I don't really have to go out today.

Pork
Again - something totally random! I just found a site with the best veggie song ever!!!!!!! (beware - extream laughing ahead)The ultimate Veggie-Song - PORK
Don't get the wrong idea and just enjoy the flash video.
Cheers~
Simpsonmania!
Lets open up a new section! I'll try to do it kinda regularly, filling in strange stuff from the net to let you see! Here's my first post on this then...
Courtesy of Javier Esteban Taco Julio Garcia-Sanchez, Sr. from YODC-Blog
I just found this strolling around the "Your Opinion Doesn't Count" Blog - which is a great lot of fun to read - and found THIS. Take a look!
Let's make a short analysis!
Maggie looks adorable. Lisa kinda freakish while holding theother guys hand. The twins plain wtf. Bart is still a brat, while grandpa is snoring on the couch. Homer doesn't look homer-ish enough, while Mister Burns and his fellow look pretty nice as a manga figure. Abu doesn't strike me as "indian" enough. The Aunts look freaking good and the director and Barts homeroom teacher should make up soon. Last but not least - Marge! God, she's good-looking even though her hair reminds me of Mortisha from the Adams Family.. give her some white streaks and she's all set up! YAY.
As for all the other fellows which names I can't remember, they look good, specially the bartender! XDDDD

Latest GET's in my collection!!!
Weee. These past few days were pretty exciting. I've got lots of new stuff either self-purchased or as a present for my flat so I'm really happy right now.
Here's a short listing!
My latest and definitly cutest buy was this lovely Hello Kitty tea mug, which really reminds me of the starbucks emblem! I've been sipping tea all day long out of this mug today!
On the same day I had to buy new shoes since my old ones are basically done for. Whevenever it's raining my socks are soaking wet... well, you get the idea. I'm not the shopping kind of girl so basically I just walk right into the store I want and get me the first thing that fits and looks nice. So I walked into that store and after 15 minutes I was finished. *gg*
But they still look quite good, I think.
Now since that's not all, I also bought me some decoration for my breakfast table. My granny made it for her christmas bazar which actually went pretty damn well. Everyone loves her work and I was just lucky to grab a piece of her work. It's a candle on top of a little square glass plate with some evergreen and a ribbon. I really love that piece and I don't even want to light the candle!!!!
But now to my dearest, biggest and best investment in the past two weeks: my new books! Since I recently got the new bookshelf I just have to get it filled soon (yeah, my logic is great - what will I do when it's filled? dunno yet)
I invested into theeeeese really great novels, which I just love and hope to get other volumes soon... (yeah, basically they are all romance)
Lara Adrian - Midnight Awakening
Alexis Morgan - Dark Defender
J.R. Ward - Dark Lover
J.R. Ward - Lover Eternal
Jaid Black, JW McKenna - The Hunted
Kresley Cole - A Hunger Like no Other
Kresley Cole - No Rest for the Wicked
Morgan Hawke - Kiss of the Wolf
Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jaid Black, Kresley Cole - Playing easy to get
Susan Sizemore, Maggie Shayne, Lori Handeland, Caridad Piñeiro- Moon Fever
As soon as I've got some more free time, I'll review these for you, but bascially I'm reading like mad right now. I'm pretty good with that. I can read a 400+ pages book in approximately 4 hours, which is not a complete read-through but I get to know the complete story without missing much. I just don't go into detail reading and skip a lot of parts. It really works for the J.R. Ward and Kresley Cole books.
Oh yeah! Guess what!!!! I, again, agreed to do karaoke for NTFS even though I'm officially on vacation right now. I don't know when the hell I should do those karaokes but I'll just skip sleep or something equally stupid. I just don't know what to do right now - which suxx! I still need to finish my report!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lord have mercy with me. *sigh*
Well then. Right now I'm really tired, since I've been up since midnight which was 20 hours ago. I'm heading for the bed and my books now and of course - the orca (which I was informed is my new ~lover~), very well indeed!
oh! PS: the first present for my best friends arrived today, so hopefully the other will come tomorrow or on monday!
Have a nice day/night and good bye.
Here's a short listing!
My latest and definitly cutest buy was this lovely Hello Kitty tea mug, which really reminds me of the starbucks emblem! I've been sipping tea all day long out of this mug today!
On the same day I had to buy new shoes since my old ones are basically done for. Whevenever it's raining my socks are soaking wet... well, you get the idea. I'm not the shopping kind of girl so basically I just walk right into the store I want and get me the first thing that fits and looks nice. So I walked into that store and after 15 minutes I was finished. *gg*
But they still look quite good, I think.
Now since that's not all, I also bought me some decoration for my breakfast table. My granny made it for her christmas bazar which actually went pretty damn well. Everyone loves her work and I was just lucky to grab a piece of her work. It's a candle on top of a little square glass plate with some evergreen and a ribbon. I really love that piece and I don't even want to light the candle!!!!
But now to my dearest, biggest and best investment in the past two weeks: my new books! Since I recently got the new bookshelf I just have to get it filled soon (yeah, my logic is great - what will I do when it's filled? dunno yet)
I invested into theeeeese really great novels, which I just love and hope to get other volumes soon... (yeah, basically they are all romance)Lara Adrian - Midnight Awakening
Alexis Morgan - Dark Defender
J.R. Ward - Dark Lover
J.R. Ward - Lover Eternal
Jaid Black, JW McKenna - The Hunted
Kresley Cole - A Hunger Like no Other
Kresley Cole - No Rest for the Wicked
Morgan Hawke - Kiss of the Wolf
Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jaid Black, Kresley Cole - Playing easy to get
Susan Sizemore, Maggie Shayne, Lori Handeland, Caridad Piñeiro- Moon Fever

Christmas' coming and I've got the mad urge to tell you what presents you going to get from me - but I so won't do it. It would spoil the whole meaning of a "present".
The last 2 weekends quite were interessting. We released 6 new PVs in a short time period, kinda like a special. If everything goes like I planned, we're going to have another 8 videos in a couple of days.
Now since that was Kizuna talk, here's Mognet!
We first thought about not doing a themed pv special but in the end we ended up again with lots of new videos which actually fit christmas or winter. Now since I'm a little too busy for my liking I'm only going to finished 5 christmas pvs total and the others either have to wait another year or we're going to finish them in january/february.
Anyway... something entirely diffrent - I've been running around in a multimedia store and came across a little SOMETHING! Now here's ... THE GRINCH! He is a popular cartoon character created by Dr. Seuss. He first appeared in the 1957 children's book, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!". This was followed in 1966 by a popular television special, produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's MGM Animation/Visual Arts studio, and directed by Chuck Jones. In 1977, Seuss responded to the fan request for more Grinch tales by writing "Halloween Is Grinch Night", a Halloween special that aired on CBS. Like its predecessor, the sequel was recognized at the Emmy awards. In 1982, Marvel green-lit "The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat", which was also produced by Dr. Seuss, under his real name, Ted Geisel. This third special garnered two Emmy awards.
After Seuss's death, a 1999 live-action feature film adaptation was produced. Directed by Ron Howard, it featured Jim Carrey in the titular role and was a major financial success. Although a box-office hit, the film received mostly negative reviews, comparing it unfavorably to the book and the television special. The movie fleshes out the Grinch's story by showing the Grinch as a youngster. [honestly stolen from wikipedia ;) thank you very much!]
If you ever want to watch it you've got to wait for christmas, and you should make sure you watch it because it's hillarious. Never forget it's a child story and should be fun for the whole family and not some drama-omg-I've-got-to-cry "stuff of dreams".
Well since it's late and I'm out of words - or more like - I just don't want to write anymore.
Oyasumi!

COOLIO - GANGSTAS PARADISE
I just stumbled on some really classic song I really love. The movie to the song is nice too, but the song itself is kinda epic for me. Back when it came out, or actually, when I heared it first and understood the meaning of the song I cried. NVM that it's that old but I just had to share it with all of you.

Ikea Shopping Trip!
Saturday was a fun day!
Together with my friends Esther and Eric, Esther's Father and I drove out into the outlet area to do some shopping at the Ikea mal - and actually bought more than I wanted too. But that's normal for a girl, right? We always buy more then we planed to do. But I really needed that new bookshelf, since I'm actually buying a lot of books. I turned up to buy a really decent shelf which perfectly fits into my rooms. And the first thing I wanted to do was put my books in there. Unfortunately I still have to fix it to the wall, or else it might just fall down sometime, so I really had to refrain my urge to put my books in :(
Here's a pic of my new shelf. As soon as I put all my books in there I'll upload another pic! You'll love it just as I do.
Since I really couldn't go out without anything "girly" I turned up to buy that HUGE stuffed orca! Yeah, well I'm still a kid inside. Anyway - every time I go somewhere and I see something really fluffy I just have to buy it, so here he is: My new stuffed ORCA!
Isn't he adorable? I can't stop hugging him ^-^ he's so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute <3
neeee~?
Today I also went to the city library for the first time. Turned out to be quite THE library. I hope to stop by again soon. Unfortunately they don't have any books from authors I love! Maybe I find some other authors at my taste.
Nevertheless I'm going to stop here, altough I still have much to say, but I really need to finish these PVs here or I'm going to struggle for the next few days!
Have some nice Dreams everybody!

Has it been a week already? Oh noes... time's running way too fast for me right now.
Someone actually missed me?
Guess not!
Tomorrow I'll be writing a test, so I'll keep this post short.
The last week was kinda busy. I tried to finish a lot of work since I was asked to be done so we could release those four episodes on each sunday starting this week - which I acutally made in time, but then - you can't count on others if you want to have something finished in time. It's unfortunate, since I really put a lot of time into it, even though I didn't have the time to spend at all. I actually dismissed the idea to write a test this tuesday to finish my work on those four videos. Well can't be helped, can it? I'm not going to tell on what we're actually working, since it's going to be a surprise, but I think you'll like it. There's going to be a german and an english version of it, which will probably be really popular.
Other than that I've got to thank skarloc for helping me out on those german PV encodes. He's been working his ass off for me the last few weeks. He told me to stop thank him but I'm really grateful!! Maybe I was a little to vigorous about it? *laugh*
I've been reading a new author lately. I did some digging around and came up with her - Alexis Morgan. She's been writing on diffrent storyboards but I really was intrigued with her paladin concept. I bought her first book and I liked it. I hope to get the other volumes soon, too. I've also been searching for other arists and I hope to get the books soon. Emma Holly's Midnight series and Susan Sizemore vampire storys seem to be pretty popular so I'll check them out.
Today I've been at my friends place to get some notes on tomorrows test and I ended up talking for like 4 hours, or so. It was kinda funny though and I really like her mother. She's easy to talk with and she reminds me of my mother - though I'd never tell her that in person, at least not for now. Funny thing is we talked about our childhoods and I said I don't really had good friends back then and I was quite an outsider - which promtly was confirmed when I came back home. A friend from my last school wrote me via studiVZ, a plattform to find old friends 'n stuff, and she asked me why I wasn't at the reunion last week - HA! I wasn't even INVITED!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it - funny thing is I've never been invited at any reunion anyway over the past years. It just strengthens my resolve to go to america in a few years. I've never fit in here and I really hope that'll be difrent once I'm over there...
Did you ever have the feeling you don't fit? At least I had it a couple too many times if you ask me.
Anyway, I've found something really funny and acurate on Marjorie Liu's blog.
Sometimes I really feel like that:
If you find any mistakes in this post just keep them. I wrote this without my glasses on, so I'm sure to have wrote something wrong! HAHA ;) Good Night!

Busy Day
Hello everybody! Today was quite the day.
I've been up since 6 in the morning and been working till well, now: 11pm.
I'm dead! I can't work anymore... just lemme sleep!!!!
Wanna know what's been going on?
Okay, I'll tell you what happend!
After falling asleep with a book on my nose I woke up this morning around 6am. Since I'm normally like lead that early I stood up, made some toast and a cut of hot orange-black tea and went back to my notebook to check on my emails and stuff - which promptly had so much work for me to do, that I worked till 10am to finish all those 32 emails in my account. Lucky thing is, the emails were really good. Mostly they were job applications for the magazine I'm working for. We're looking for new trainees and there were really a lot of applications. So after spending the first 4 hours of my day reading and writing I still had to do some things for college. First I copied like 300 pages from diffrent books so I could bring back those books to the library, where again I had to pay a dunning. After that I drove back to the postal office to give up some letters and a pakets with dvds in it.
Finally I was able to get back home at 1pm and again - new applications and two emails from a company we're working with. So guess what I did next, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah, phone calls from 1pm till 3pm to get some new projects running which worked surprisingly good!
After that I went back to work on the application forms to check out the new people. Since I still had to do some grocery shopping I went to get some bread and juice to keep me alive for the next few risings *gg* So, freshly home with groceries, new juice and three new books, which came with the postal service, I remembered that I had promised to work on some scripts. That kept me busy till 7pm. After that I went back to do some chatting with friends and finally, after several hours starving, I'm able to actually cook. It's 11pm now and I'm cooking rissole. I planed to have some mashed potatoes with it, but I'm too tired to do that tonight so I only finished the rissole. But since I'm still hungry I'm going to grab a pudding now and head for bed.
This was quite a day but I got lots of work done that had been calling.
Thanks for reading this shit!
(I'll give you something nice as a present for hanging on:)

Writing spirit
Remember when I last told you that I was writing on a new story?? Well yeah, it's progressing, but I had another idea, this time for a childrens book which I'm currently developing. It's interessting to work on that, since I normally only ready or write about romance stories. The idea came while I was sleeping. I had a really straaaaaaaaaange dream and woke up of it. And since it seemed like a pretty good idea I stoop up, searched for pen'n'paper and started writing it down. The sketch of the book is now at 6 A4 pages with lots of details in it, which I just have to refine a little bit. It's going to be about a girl growing up in her own mind, where she now lives after she had a traumatic incident. Her years are divided in diffrent rooms in a big house with weird people in it and to progress through those diffrent rooms she has to regain her abilities of love, trust, faith...
It kinda sounds strange for now, but if I can write it like I think I will, it'll be quite nice. Dreams are really great most of the time!!!!
Oh here's another thing I want to share with you, a little something of my new story "Guardians". Since it's still developing, just give it a try and leave some comments?
HUH?! >_< I really like the story up till now, but I'll get better I think. Writing a full story in english is a little bit diffrent than writing blog entries, at least that's what I think. It was interessting to dig up some book for research. I alreay have more of it, but I won't post it for a long time. I want to rewrite some parts in this chapter up there. I hope to get it done soon. For now :) Have a nice night, I'm going to eat my Tortellini with tomatoe sauce now and then continue to sleep.
Night~Fellows!

No, I won’t give up. I can’t give up. I’ve got to keep it together. Functioning! Thinking! I’m a thinking person for havens sake. I need to think this through. Gosh, I so don’t want to loose myself, but… But…
Blinking up at the person standing over her, she lost track of every other thought she might have had. It was hideous, a monster, something out of a bad dream to frighten children. Boney features greeted her in a stark and ugly face. Black pits of marvelous eyes, with no real depth. Black voids with a red flicker, much like some ugly candlelight in a hole, stared at her. His face was drawn back into a grinning mask. Yellow canines and two bloody fangs jutted out of his mouth which was smeared with another’s blood. Black was the only color that thing wore on his body, which was in stark contrast to his nearly translucent white skin color. Black slacks under a black satin shirt with wide cuffs that looked a little bit too fluffy for her liking. Why was it, that such things – vampires – always were a little dramatic in their clothing? She never quite understood that from the novels she read as a teenager. While standing over her, he was at least 6’8 feet tall, much taller than she was with her 5’5, broad shoulders and flat stomach, covered with the blood of her best friend Christy. Christy and she were out eating at one of the restaurants in the area. Watching a movie, eating out, and then back to their beds for a little girl talk between friends. Sounded like a good idea when they had planned it. Why hadn’t she been aware of the danger around her? Why couldn’t she save even her best friend?
Christy was a friendly person, a little taller than she was, trusting and altogether too good to be real. All striking blue eyes in a heart shaped face and blond curls bouncing all around that lovely high cheekbones and lush red mouth. She never really bothered with her appearance, much like me. Her hair was like satin, long and hung down to her ass. She never bothered with that either and just trust it up in a high ponytail. She became her best friend when she needed someone to give her strength. She had been there for her, when she had lost her parents a few months ago and her only solace to keep going. She didn’t have much of a family left now.
Lost in her thoughts she looked up to him and after a long stare he crouched down to greet her with a snarling hiss which really frightened her. His breath smelled like death and blood. She so didn’t want to die here, but what could she probably do? She had lost everything to this monster. Her beloved sisters and parents and now the best friend she ever had. She even lost part of herself in a dark pit of bleakness, which hovered right over her conscious thoughts. Loosing her parents was one of the most devastating things she ever encountered. Ever since she could remember, she had loved her parents, and even though they were not her birth parents, they had loved her back, like they loved their own children. They were happy together, growing up in a big white house with a white fence around the estate. Two big dogs had played in the backyard and they never lacked money or anything else. It was a good childhood, filled with laughter and joy.
That thing kept telling her she was his soul-mate, his other half and she so doesn’t want to be the other half of a freaking vampire. What in the ninth hell was a soul-mate? And whatever that is, she’s just a human, for all it was worth. But now, here she was, covered in the blood of her best friend, which had tried to shield her with her own body. Christy lay face down in the dirty parking lot, her eyes too big for her face, lungs rattling to get a gulp of oxygen to keep going. She looked far too good even now, with her gray face and dirty hair. Christy pleaded with her eyes to run and cover. To get out of here so her sacrifice wasn’t lost. But no, she would never run. “I won’t run away. I never run away from danger and you know that. I’m the helping kind of girl. It’s my freaking job to help others. I’m a damn police officer”, she whispered in her ear while covering her body with her own. “I love you and thanks. I’ll keep you alive and I promise to get you away from him as soon as possible. Just hang on and don’t give up, Christy. I love you. Hang on!”
She stared back up to the hideous monster which had attacked her and smiled. A smile that said it all. That said that she won’t ever forgive him, that she would kill him, that she would do everything to see him destroyed, to never hurt anyone else. That was her silent vow before she saw a fist coming right to her face. God, this would hurt a lot and then she saw black…
* * *
Startled out of his dream he snapped his eyes open and looked around. The familiar room greeted him and the last darkness seemed to settle down. What time was it? Numb with a headache worse than everything he ever had, like if someone had struck him hard with a baseball bat on the head, he sat up tentatively and looked around another time. He was home in his bedroom, surrounded by stuff he knew. Strange. He had the real feeling he’d missed something. What had he dreamed about anyway? “Gosh, my head. I think I need some strong coffee to get the fuzzy feeling out of my head”, he said to himself in a husky voice and got out of bed. First a hot shower, fresh cloths and a mug of his beloved coffee and the world would be better.
Sauntering out of the room, stretching his muscles, he went straight to the bathroom. It was early morning, something like 5:30 am and everyone else still slept in their beds. A shower sounded good for starters. In the bathroom he discarded his satin pajama bottoms, climbed into the shower and turned on the hot water. Hot water always got him up and running. It was nice for a change to be the first to take a shower before his friends woke up. It was funny living with other people in the same house but when you woke up to late, all the hot water was gone, which sucked. Taking a deep breath he let the water cascade down his own lean body. 6’5 feet tall, all lean muscles and tanned skin, Daniel looked like a small version of a geek god. Long brown hair hung down over his shoulders, now wet from the shower and he massaged shampoo into it. Leaning back his head the rinsed out the remains of the shampoo and turned off the water. Always good to take a quick shower or his friends are going to kick his ass. Normally he was the last to get into the bathroom because he was most likely to need all the remaining hot water and no one wants to actually take a cold shower, right?
Climbing out of the shower he got one of the new fluffy towels and started to rub his body dry. After that he took his toothbrush and started the routine. Looking out of the window, still brushing his teeth, he watched the sun climb higher and higher. Dawn was breaking and he actually loved this time of the day, though his friends wouldn’t believe that. He sat on the windowsill, looking out over the backyard and watching the sun come up over the high trees behind the house. Bright yellow, pink and lilac greeted him and he send up a prayer to god with a big thank you for another day in his life, with his friends and everything he needed.
It was a little after 6 when he got down to the kitchen wearing faded blue jeans and a muscle shirt in something that should have been ivory which now looked kind of odd. Yeah okay, it was his favorite shirt, he’ll grand that, but why should he wear something he didn’t like? Clattering around the kitchen he fixed himself a big mug of coffee and took one of the cookies in the jar and sat down on the kitchen table. Turning on the TV he watched the news and sipped is coffee.
From behind his back he heard someone stomping down the stairs, something that sounded like a big basketball slapping on something hard, followed by several explorative swear words. Seems like Daniel’s brother Michael was up and banging his had on the way to the kitchen. “Mornin’ bro”, Daniel said and flashed him a grin. “Morning little Danny”, said Michael with a grunting noise, still rubbing his forehead.
“Oh, common, stop calling me Danny. I’m your little brother, okay, but I’m not a kid anymore. I turned 25 last week and I’m the one bringing the money home, so stop it already. I’m not calling you Mik anymore either. You didn’t like it and you made sure that I know that. So please, for heavens sake, stop it!”
28 year old Michael is the head of the household, which basically consists of himself, Sam, Lillian and Daniel. Every one of them lost their parents and they grew up together in an orphanage. The time back then was hard, but somehow they managed to stay together. Friendship, lots of adventures and a secret were their only solitude and they tried hard to stay together. Another reason for it might be that they all were different from the other kids. From the first time they saw each other they knew who they were and that they had do be secretive of their nature and themselves for all their life. Banding together sounded like a good idea. Being of a different race might call for that, right? A different race? [...]
Pouring his own cup of coffee Michael grunted something that sounded like “forget it” and I kept it at that and turned my head back to the TV which was now broadcasting the early morning news. Michael seated himself next to Daniel and they both watched the news in silence, drinking coffee. Nothing much in the news either, just your everyday news I guess. The weather, highlights about the last day and things that might be important for the next couple of days like a head-up about the upcoming elections. Daniel was so not interested in politics, but Michael was, so he kept the news on and went into the kitchen to pour him another cup of coffee. While sipping his second cup, rubbing at his temple with his free hand, he thought about last nights dream. He only remembered so much and he couldn’t quite forget the feeling he had about the dream. Something about it told him he should remember it, something important. Something very important for his life. It was like an addiction, or more like a detox of something he can’t quite put a hand on right now.
Sighing and frustrated that he can’t remember even the slightest bit of information, he went back to the table and seated himself. The election news were nearly over and the real interesting news were about to start - News about missing people, mysterious cases and things like that. That was what he basically was doing in real life. Daniel is a detective of the local police department and sometimes works as private investigator. The work was fun and he could count on his prenatural abilities to find people or stop murderers. If the case was too much for him alone he calls his team, which was his family. The police chief knows about Daniel’s team and keeps quite, which is basically the only thing he can do about it. I am not about to give up on one of my cases, only because I’m not able to solve it alone. Yeah, I might have a bit of pride, and maybe I’m a predator and don’t like other people digging in my dirt, but I don’t want to loose a life due to my fucking pride. I’m not THAT stupid, well at least not anymore. I really learned that the hard way.
Uh huh, the hard way. Deep in thought and sighing he nearly missed the picture of a petite woman with dark brown hair and green eyes like the deep forest. The photo looked like it was pretty new and she wore a police officers uniform. Even with the formal attire she looked great in it. Or maybe that was just what he thought while staring at the picture. He forgot to breath and could only ogle the photo with gaping mouth. Wow, she’s beautiful. Her eyes are like the deep forest in the mountains and her hair reminds me of healthy soil. God, she’s lethal for men and women alike. I don’t think I ever saw someone who’s as beautiful as she is.
I know her, but why?
HUH?! >_< I really like the story up till now, but I'll get better I think. Writing a full story in english is a little bit diffrent than writing blog entries, at least that's what I think. It was interessting to dig up some book for research. I alreay have more of it, but I won't post it for a long time. I want to rewrite some parts in this chapter up there. I hope to get it done soon. For now :) Have a nice night, I'm going to eat my Tortellini with tomatoe sauce now and then continue to sleep.
Night~Fellows!
