Real life in general and school in particular are being demanding bitches and there is no way it's going to get any better until the end of March! So see you lovely people in April. I'm just sneaking in right now and should actually be studying, but there's only so much studying one can do. Anyway, I won't be able to update regularly for the next couple of weeks, too much German, too much history. (Haven't figured out how to study for English yet, guess I could update my journal every once in a while and tell myself was helpful...) But I might be commenting from time to time and I'm definitely going to read and follow the message boards silently.
In other news -- I've been tagged! Whatever that means!
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".
I can't tag anyone, everyone's already been tagged and answered more interestingly than I probably will. Besides, I don't even know how tagging works. *hangs head in shame*
1) I'm the most useless person ever when it comes to technical stuff. I can't download or install anything on my computer without the helpful assistance of my father who is for some reason a wizard with these things and thinks I'm making fun of him, because it's beyond him to understand how someone can NOT get these right away. It takes me ages to get used to new software and I still don't know how to tag people. :D
2) Tidy rooms confuse me. This seems to be an inherited thing, everyone in my family is incapable of not being messy and everyone likes things a bit (or a bit more) chaotic as well.
3) I'm constantly having a to-do-list but I'm never motivated enough to actually do the things on it. Which is the worst thing you can do, because that way you're always aware of everything you still have to do and are constantly frustrated with yourself because you still don't do anything about it.
4) I hate to make phone calls when I know more people with the same last name live there, who also answer the phone just saying their last name. For some reason I find it vastly embarrassing not to know who I'm talking to. And I have two friends who are twins and have the exact same voice and answer the phone exactly the same way. I never call them.
5) I've been a vegetarian for years now and I am extremely tired of people being intolerant about it. Why is it even something that I need approval or permission for to decide NOT to eat dead animals? I never quite got that.
6) I hate it when people have a strong German accent when speaking English. Unfortunately I have one myself, which annoys me big time. On the other hand I can find people extremely sexy just due to their accents. Best example for that is probably Luke Pritchard, singer of The Kooks.
7) If you want to really infuriate me, all you have to do is interrupt someone who is talking. It doesn't even have to be me, it can be anyone. I think it's the most rude and disrespectful thing to do.
