So I have this new cellphone now. Which is like, the first really new model I had since too long, and my old phone broke down a couple 'o weeks before and it wasn't really able to do anything except making 100x100px photos.

And now, baby, this new one .... Oh. My. Gawd.
It gets me into very embarassing fits of childish squee!ing every time I discover a new awesome function.

My latest discovery - which actually only started out as a half-hearted experiment- was:
"Does it or does it not display .txt - documents so I can read them if I transfer them on my cell?"

Answer: IT EFFING DOES!!!

So what does that mean?

IT MEANS FANFICTION TO TAKE WITH YOU EEEEEVERYWHERE YOU GO!

Good Lady, I can carry about Dira's "Missing Persons", and Viggorlijah's "Parallel Connections over Symmetric Spaces" and there's that new Criminal Minds fic I discovered and I can read it on the train and ... wow. This just blows my mind .

*huff huff huff*

My friend and I decided to try out one of those dating websites. She has no luck to keep her boyfriends for long, and I myself ... well, that's a longer story, consisting of a healthy dose of Nerdy-ness, a feminist's world view, traumatic experience in the past, etc, etc,..
A difficult case, me is.
The point is, we're both single and growing old. Hence the "fear of being left on the shelf", I don't deny that.

I decided to be honest in filling out the profile forms. Really, brutally honest.
I thought, -after all- if I have the opportunity to fill out many many forms and let the reader know as much as possible about me beforehand - of fears and wants and hates, of family and wishes and money, of expectations - it saves me the tiptoeing around and simply states things clearly for everyone to read.

This is what it started out as at first.

I am now letting this account run as a field experiment to prove that if I -as a woman- am absolutely honest, if I tell my fears and expectations straight out, there will be no guy to answer.

I do know there are many things in my profile that are discouraging, down-turning. On the other hand, though, there are just as many positive, unique, likable things about me.
However, which human being is made of 100% happy-go-lucky?

I will let this account stay on-line for 10 days or so, then hop on to the next dating site and repeat the steps.

Yes, I will prove that with honesty, individualism and the courage to not succumb to the mainstream-behaviour society seems to be dictating, the male population will not be able to take a chance on me.

I do know no-one will answer me honesty and rightly on this profile I submitted, pretty face or not.

Time for a small update:

Moving: Since 29th of September, I have moved into my own four walls. Finally!
Living some 30km south of Munich, surrounded by nature, hills, farmhouses and with the Lake Starnberg only 10 minutes away, I have found my sweet refuge from Munich's busy every-day life.

Work: ... is much the same but changes every day. That means, I still have a lot of fun, albeit being a designer means working overtime is not the exception to the rule but the rule itself. Expect to see my designs on Aigner products next year in fall! I designed some shawls, belt buckles and a print for a bag, but it still remains to been how much of all that will stay in the collection in the end.

Shopping in Munich: Yesterday, my collegues from design and another collegue from product management went shopping at Munich Downtown (roaming Prada, Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry and so on!) and apart from all your Haute-Couture brands, I now know some pretty awesome little shops with really special stuff. It was very exhausting but also really nice to go out with people on the weekend.

History: Munich and her surroundings begin to grow fonder to me every day I live here, and every day I feel more reluctant to leave here anytime soon. I still haven't checked out the Pagan meeting or the mediaeval restaurant.
I feel a bit sad sometimes that this area of Germany has little castles and churches that date back to the early 1100-1300 centuries. The Wittelsbacher royal family has restored most of any ancient building and outfitted it in typical Baroque style. I'm not a fan of the epoche of Baroque at all and they left almost nothing as it was built 1000 years ago.

Alto Adige: Nevertheless, living here also means I'm two hours closer to the most wonderful place on earth (apart from Disney World Florida): Alto Adige.
My family owns a house there and I recently got all the keys, so if I would want to, I could hop into my car, drive for three hours and end up in Paradise. Albeit I have visited this area in Alto Adige for most of my life since I was born, I marvel at its absolte perfection every time I go there. The mountains, the lake, the nature - and above all, the castle ruins! Tears come to my eyes when I see those buildings. Do you know those places where you think Time just stopped somewhere? This is one of those places. No matter when you return, everything welcomes you just the way you left it. It's Time out of Time.

But alas, enough with the sentimantal babbling! Next time I drive home to my parents' place, I'll bring a photo with me and you won't have to go through all this exhausting reading any more .

Hallo liebe volljährigen deutschen Mitbürger!

Nur zwei Worte zum Sonntag:

GEHT WÄHLEN!

Ende der Durchsage, Danke ~

All right, so this girl is busy working since tuesday that week.

Thus, I am sorry if I failed to read/answer on your blogs or art. I try to skim through it, but I'm pretty groggy in the evening and still have so many other things to do when I come home.

Above that, I'm still living in a small hotel and every ten minutes, there's a train going by my window . I do get used to it, but even with earplugs it's hard to sleep sometimes .

I'm currently looking for a place on my own and dear goddess I found this house in a village south of Munich. I will meet with the landlord on Monday to see the appartment, but I drove by the place today anyway and it's the most loveliest place ever! If nothing is wrong with the other people living there and no other major problems are in order, I so want to live there.
There is Nature out my window!. Nothing but trees and in such a tiny street in a tiny village with winding roads and hills! and a large forrest around it. It's perfect. I might work in Munich, but I do need a small, quiet, natural place to live.

For my work, I help the designers with the new collection of bags right now (Fall/Winter 2010-2011 - that's next year in fall). It's a lovely topic we're dealing with and I'm curious about Christian's designs. I recently made the moodboards and now I help with the design of the metal parts for the bags (like, the logo in front, the zippers, tassels, etc.). It's not easy since I have only a feeble grasp on the whole "image" of the enterprise and I know I'm still going too elaborate. But I think I get the drift now .

My collegues are great and really nice. I work much on my own and we all have a lot to do, so there's a limit to small-talk, but they have a bit of humor, and that's all I need .
There's a pregnant woman working with us, too, she's Italian and always phones with the Italian collegues (the enterprise I work in has a lot of stuff going on in Italy) and it's so nice to hear her speak this native Italian *laughs*.

All my love goes out to Julie today, because she made my day yesterday! I'm really looking forward to be roaming the city with you guys!
