it's been a while, i know. but bear with me, my life is up the down escalator and back and forth, i switch from bliss to agony in an instant. but right now, it's as quiet and calm as the eye of a cyclone. here's hoping it stays this way, though as a moment in time cannot be frozen, it's safe to say, it'll change again. i'm rambling. it's complicated. this weekend was really tiresome, i initially wanted to stay at home, drink tea, play around with a few sounds, be lazy and creative and all that, but i kind of got dragged out four days in a row. i have to admit most of it was absolutely worth it. sometimes going out leaves me with nothing but a bitter and empty feeling, but this was reasonably enjoyable. while at the same time, people start bickering about whatever snippets of my life they encounter, i am beginning to feel comfortable in this city. my flatmates are sweet and the friends i've made up to now are in fact quite amazing people.
it's true, i miss out on a lot of university (being nearly constantly occupied and when not occupied, prone to oversleeping) but some courses are downright awesome and, i hate sounding so esoterical but another word doesn't spring to mind, inspiring to say the least. i spent the whole night reading for university, decided to stay up when dawn broke in with a marvellous cold sun shining in through the dirty balcony windows, poured myself some coffee and made a neat little breakfast, chewed and swallowed and continued my lecture on the couch only to wake up fully clothed and late for school. which i skipped, again. i am annoyingly incapable of being structured, but that's fine enough with me as it isn't subject to reprimand for my teachers.
i got to writhe around on a hotel carpet half-dressed in a wedding dress yesterday. photos will follow soon enough, i guess. i'm still waiting for another bunch from another shoot, i hate it that they always take so much time, i'm awfully impatient. then again, when it comes to my own stuff, i am so painstakingly slow that it ought to relieve me to see similar patterns haunt the people i work with. still, i really want those pictures.
here's a bunch of non-chronological and random pictures of the last few weeks: viola's visit, halloween, parties, love affairs, train rides, all that stuff. you can make up your own stories to them, if you like.
winter hit in hamburg. it's freezing cold, i'm throwing my winter coat on and leaving you for ice cold wind that will blush my cheeks and make sandpaper out of my lips.

thanks! i can't bother with any descriptions, because most of the time i have no idea what is happening myself.
ah, university is good times. i never want them to stop... =)
it's not a set, though.. you'll just see the result on my blog.
pigman
nice colorful pictures :D
Edda

warm glowy cheeks in the winter? you're gonna be a snow pixie :)
I don't know a thing about snow. It never snows in Texas. When it's 50 degrees, I'm bundles up as an Eskimo, with my hood down so that nobody sees my face all winter when i go out.
I want to see new places, and feel like i've touched more earth. Someday.
well, here's to your moment of bliss
<3

ah, it doesn't snow much here either, though.. maybe once a year if we're lucky. but i've never experienced a snowy hamburg.. come see new places.. for instance, this place here! if you ever feel like coming to the old world, you can sure crash here.

nice collection of pics, edda!
though i must say you look kinda sad in the second one. so here's something to cheer you up: i've come to gg just because of you! (found a pic of you online somewhere with the gg logo on it, so i checked it out)
(hope that doesn't spook you...)
be well!
Edda

hope you'll enjoy your time on this site..

I kind of think of lots of things to comment on in your journal entries when I read them
if that is your boy, you two are cute together! you look a little like one another
I love the circus/carnival pictures
and the train ones
stop bunking off uni!?
Edda
it's hard to say wether he is my boy or anything of the kind. it's a bit more complicated.
i only skip the boring classes. or the ones where sleep is more necessary. or the ones when i'm not in town.
jmdarling

Edda

Viola

Awesome pics, Edda. Thanks for letting us make up our own little stories for them... i love doing that and its usually what i end up doing even if someone's given me a description. I miss germany... i'd love to go back!
I feel a little like i've been riding that escalator you're talking about the last few weeks as well. Its funny... my behaviour patterns while i was at university sounded very similar to yours, especially when i had a handful of courses that, yes here's that word again, inspired me.
Looking forward to seeing your set. Take care! XD
