Giving up on the backlogging

[oloriel]

So I meant to post an entry about Magdeburg weeks ago and never did. (It's been a whole month, for Eru's sake). The reason mostly being, out of fairness to the people involved, I should write it in German. Somehow I can't arse myself to do that (don't ask, I do not know how my brain works), so I thought I'd do it tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow* ...

Meanwhile, things would happen that I meant to blog about, but I hardly could while that early September weekend was still untreated, so I had to do that first, and...

... you know what? Screw it. Stuff in bullet-points, and if I ever manage to motivate myself to elaborate on them, I guess I might. Don't hold your breath though. I probably won't.

So!

- I was in Magdeburg to visit friends, including but not limited to hamnar, from the good old days of the Elbenwald forum before it got overrun. From there we drove to Potsdam to attend a Corvus Corax concert (you do not have to understand that). Fun was being had. hamnar has the most adorable twin nephews and very sweet parents. Because I was being stupid/too polite, I came back home with a bad migraine because apparently by now passive smoking disagrees with me more than ever. Still, it was nice to see the peeps again, and to meet the kidlets.

- Emotionally, things have been blah. I've never PMS'd as badly as this year, and even between the monthly visitations I more often than not remember feeling mostly sucky. Melodrama ahoy.

- LARP group things happened. They were satisfying.

- Hiked to Altenberg with friends. Took lots of photos. Picspam may or may not follow. (It probably will. It's so much easier to bombard everyone with photos than to, like, talk about things in an interesting and sensible manner...)

- House things happened. They were necessary, stressful, occasionally painful and mostly not fun.

- Exam things are happening. They suck. My temptation to just exmatriculate and forego this stupid degree, let me show you it.

- But! My parents didn't forget our wedding anniversary for a change! (Well, to be fair, they only forgot it once. That's 50% of anniversaries, though.) We were half surprised that they called today; even though we were officially married on the 10th, we've privately counted the "big" church ceremony + party as the actual wedding. Eh well; I guess 10/10 is easier to remember.

- Right now, we're watching Kill Bill for the fifth or so time. A few days ago, we saw Inception with friends. Great movie, though by now I've picked up on what may or may not be plotholes. Will have to watch it another few times, I suspect. (Oh, what a sacrifice!) Last time I went to the cinema was for Avatar (the one with the blue-skinned cat people), which was... a while back. My lack of social life, let me show you it...

But at least, now I've managed to mention Stuff That I Meant To Write About so I won't think "Nah, can't blog about that, still have to write the entry about ..." anymore. And with that, I'll hopefully be able to return to more normal blogging habits!

Huh. I would never expect from mine to remember it. Not because they are forgetful / don't care (rather the opposite is fortunately the case) but because it's not like a birthday or something, more private, somehow. The only ones with reason to celebrate are me and J. I don't know my parents' anniversary date, neither, just the year.

Good luck with exam and house!

I wouldn't expect it from mine either, normally, except they've always expected my brother and me to remember theirs*. Fair's fair ;)

Thank you.

Now that's true!

I only know mine have their 40th next year so I will ask for the date because of awesomeness.

Finals are really evil and I didn't have an old house to renovate as a side dish, so I hope everything will be fine.

Whoa! Mine will only have been married for 28 years this November. (Although I suppose that's an impressive feat as well, these days ;))

It certainly messes with priorities - which I've never been good at anyway >_>

Oh yeah. PMS-overkill.. sounds familiar.

Hey, sobald du fertig mit den Prüfungen bist, hast du dir einen Entspannungs-Kreativurlaub in Stuttgart verdient! ;) Das ist dann zwar so GAR nicht ländlich, aber es gibt eine nagelneue Wohnung zum einfusseln!

Fusseln! Yay!
Ländlich hab ich daheim genug ;)

Dann nachträglich alles Gute zum Hochzeitstag! (Oder zählt der jetzt nicht, weil's die standesamtliche Trauung war...?)

*lach* Das kannst du halten, wie du möchtest. Danke jedenfalls!
