sing karaoke
How come... 4 months ago

...the things you are most scared of are usually the most fun?

Seriously, I was drunk as hell, didn’t even hear my own voice (which was probably a blessing) and I had to go throw up before actually getting up on that stage BUT it felt so good afterwards when people were cheering and singing along and just going wild (mostly because they, too, were drunk). Just for the feeling of “I’ve done it!” this is so worth it.

Btw, I’ve sung karaoke a few more times since then. Somehow, like many things, it’s only the first time that’s scary.

53 - 60 4 months ago

53. My favourite Starbucks drink is a strawberries and cream frapuccino (mostly because I don’t drink coffee, so the range of beverages I like is greatly diminished).
54. I love musicals. That’s the only kind of theatre that can bring tears to my eyes.
55. I’d be completely lost without post-its, my calender and about 500 pieces of random paper with notes. My memory only remembers the things it wants to remember.
56. I rarely concentrate on just one thing (but maybe that’s a woman thing and not special at all…).
57. I’m a very independent person. Although I like my friends/family a lot, I could do very well without them.
58. I am terrible with money. Soon as I got it I spend it. That’s why at the end of the money there’s always such a lot of month left…
59. I like to play drawing games with my friends.
60. The spicier the food the more I like it.


finish Robin Hobb's trilogy of trilogies (read all 5 entries…)
Liveship Traders finished! 4 months ago

Oh my. As always at the end of a Robin Hobb book I was reluctant to let go of the characters but I have to admit that this time it was much easier than at the end of the Farseer books. Generally, this story felt a bit… farther away, emotionally, than Fitz’ story. I mean, I did cry at the end of The Mad Ship, but I’m very glad to be able to return to Fitz and the Fool (well… he’s been there all along) and see what my favourite people in Buckkeep have been up to.
