The 6 things-thingy...

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 18, 2009, 3:24 PM



Looks like I haven't been tagged for a long time...

Anyway, :iconmommy-silver: somehow tagged me a while ago, and I decided to do this here... the very psychological six things (there might be more, but I just added the first six that came to my mind... in no specific order). No over-analyzing, please :D



6 things I hate the most:

1. Intolerant, prejudiced people. I can't relate to them at all, just like a blind person can't relate to the concept of colours. Why judge people because of a detail (like race, religion or sexual preference, to name but a few...), not knowing anything about their character? That's just... stupid. Illogical. Insane.

2. People who want to convince others of their ideas at any cost and claim that only they are right while everybody else is wrong; especially if it's about political, philosophical or religious ideas. Everybody who claims to posses 'the only truth' is wrong per definition. There is no 'only truth'.

3. Psychological pain. You know, the sort of pain caused by loss, betrayal, depression and other sad situations in life, something that hurts your soul. I can handle physical pain (something hurting my body) pretty well, but the other sort has put me on edge quite a few times.

4. Thick boring books. Especially if the text on the cover was promising or I liked the author/the previous volumes. It sucks...

5. Being late with updating my fan fiction (makes me feel incapable)/having writer's block. WORST. SITUATION. EVER.

6. To be helpless. Maybe that's what I hate most, wanting to help and not being able to...


6 random facts about me: (Again? I told you about 16 facts about myself before...)

1. There are two countries (or three actually) in this world where I feel completely 'at home': Switzerland and Great Britain (that means England and Scottland). The strange thing about this is that Germany, the country where I grew up and spend most of my life, is not included. Don't know why really...

2. I still haven't made up my mind if I believe in former lives or not... Actually I don't, yet there are a few things that keep me thinking it could be true nevertheless; and two different people who are both very special to me claimed that we met before (one even told me a whole story about who we used to be... he firmly believed in that, and sounded very convincing.)

3. I'm no stranger to loss. I lost a friend I knew from childhood on due to sudden heart arrest and the only person on this planet I ever chose to call a soul mate due to suicide.

4. I talk to my cats (like most people having pets do). For example, I tell them goodbye before I go to work and greet them when I'm back.

5. I have a strange obsession with Scottish men. Every male British person I ever really liked turned out to be Scottish or to have Scottish ancestors... Only true for males, though...

6. I don't wear watches. Never did, never will. But I feel 'naked' without my mobile.


6 songs that I listened to the most this week: (wait a second, I check my playlist... most of them relate to scenes from my current story, depending what I was working on at the moment...)

1. "Already Gone" - Kelly Clarkson

2. "Never be the Same" - Red

3. "Black Rose" - Trapt

4. "Happy Ending" - Mika

5. "Shattered" - Trading Yesterday (MTT Version - it's soooo much better)

6. "Serenata Immortale" - Immediate Music


6 things I cannot or will not do:

1. Say that I did something well or that I like something I did. I'm never ever satisfied with myself. Sad truth.

2. Hurt someone deliberately (I have to be in rage to do so).

3. Kill an animal myself or watch an animal being killed (I can't even read about it in books). I swear, if I had to survive on my own, I'd rather eat grass or die. And I'm not exaggerating.

4. Stand back when someone is insulted/attacked/mobbed by others. Situations like that make me go beserk.

5. Forward a chain-mail-letter. Those are just plain stupid... but the threats ("Don't interrupt this letter. A man from China did and he *add any creative way to die painfully in here*..." - Yes, sure...)

6. Bungee-jumping. I might be courageous occasionally and crazy most of the time, but that is too much...


6 things I say the most:

1. "Goddess gracious..." (a lot of people who know my fan fiction writing think I'm merely immitating my characters, but that is not true. I really say things like that, and I've done so even before I started writing fan fiction, because of my belief)

2. Tendenziell (should translate into English as 'by trend';). I mostly use it in sentences like "Das war jetzt tendenziell schlecht/blöd..." ("That was bad/stupid/... by trend.") I think it's some weird form of being polite and not saying "It was bad."

3. "I love you." Really. Most of the time not to a person I'm dating (or trying to date), but to my friends. The intense-friendship-kind of love, so to say...

4. Affectionate terms (Sweetie, sweetheart, darling, cutie,...) English habit.

5. "Ladies and gentlemen". To my students, at the start of almost every lesson, even if it's not English...

6. "Merci" (the Swiss German version of "Thank you". It's derived from French, but pronouced very different. The 'i' at the end is short.)


Hope that was at least vaguely interesting... ;P

Of course.

:love: = fav.

As usual.

I will read the other two parts on Sunday, to do them justice.

At the moment, my life is pure chaos.

Got my timetable. Instead of 10 lessons as told, I have 17 now (6 General Knowlege, 2 German and 9 English - which is actually a great thing. I used to say that I'd love to teach English again).
The bad thing is that I have to start teaching on monday, and haven't got a clue about most things yet... I spend the last three days running after things and people... terrible. Now I'm even more confused than before.

Today I met my mentor teacher for the first time. She's nice, but a tiny bit confusing, too (she never mentored before, maybe that's why...). After talking to her for two hours, I went to work for twelve hours straight (the other job, which I want to quit but can't as there is a severe staff shortage. I will have to pull through for two more weeks...).

Now I'll try to get some sleep, before another 12 till 12 (noon till midnight) shift is waiting for me... So basically, I have only Sunday left to finish the preparation for my Monday lessons (and the worst thing is that the next weekend looks almost the same).

That's why I hardly find any time to write at the moment, which is driving me insane... But I'll survive. Somehow. At least I hope I will...

I hope I will...

Well, that's what usually happens to me when I'm writing. I'm planning a short one shot, and get a long one (like my crack story thingy), or I'm planning a one-shot that turns into a multichapter (my favourite comment to "Ties of Fate" from a person I discussed my initial idea with: "I thought this was supposed to be a one-shot...").

Not to mention "Fragile Bonds"... The rough version is hitting 200 pages by now... far from finished...

:iconmommy-silver:
that's great ^^

here it's more of: "where does this path lead to? only one way to find out!" resulting in a very, very long story.

I've written two extremely long stories once... but that old computer died, taking those stories with 'm :cries: though it was mostly about mary sues and stuff -_-
