I would like to try that again :) - for weeks and months I’m trying to get my motivation back, but I’m always so tired, teufelskreis ….

@continuousspectrum replied to your post: Sports Tandem

I can join you on that, I need to get back into lifting and running! :)

Three sounds great! (But if someone else wants to join: feel totally free to message me!) Do you think a whatsapp group would be a good method of choice?

4 things

Lovely @firgolfin tagged me in this and I’m always in for some evening distraction :)

Four things people call me: my name, Pi, Mäusepieps, (long ago:) Aki

Four jobs I’ve had: Librarian, historian, worked at retail selling Finnish stuff (chocolate! Moomins!) and took inventory in a DIY store :D

Four movies I’ve watched more than once: The four I’ve probably watched most: Titan A.E., Mulan, Reign of Fire, The Hobbit 1

Four books I recommend: Oscar Wilde - Picture of Dorian Gray

Jon Krakauer - Into the Wild

L. J. Bourne - Day by Day Armageddon (but I think that only the first volume is really great - but that it is indeed)

Markus Heitz - Ritus

Four places I’ve lived: I’ve so far only lived in this city (I really like it, you know?)

Four places I’ve been: Scotland, Norway, Finland, Netherlands

Four foods I don’t eat: Spinach, tomatoes, peppers (god I really get sick even by the smallest piece of pepper :( ), and I don’t like strawberries (yes, really :D)

Four TV shows I watch Criminal Minds, The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Stargate SG-1

Four things I’m looking forward to this year: hopefully getting a good new job, hopefully Venice holiday, rainbows, nights@beach

Four things I say a lot: (this is really hard to answer!)

- Ernsthaft? (Seriously?)

- Mhm.

- Freilich. (Sure enough.)

- [Argh I can’t think of stuff I often say. Probably: Mäuschen, like in a really arrogant way. I can be such a bitch. Yes, that’s it.]

Tagging, in case you want to do it: @sally78 @continuousspectrum @farashe @reellifejaneway2

[dualwieldingtymber]

oooh.  11 unique questions.

I got tagged by the amazing @firgolfin (which neither my phone and email did not notify me of its existence)

1. What’s the best holiday you went on? why? Where was it?

I'm going to assume "Holiday" here means vacation (since I'm a silly American and we can't seem to refer to anything the same way other countries do.  There have been a lot of good ones, but I’m torn between two.  One – the family went out to see relatives in Arizona.  We drove from Kentucky, got to see the Grand Canyon … had ice cream stolen by really brave/friendly squirrels and all that.  This also happened to be the day OJ Simpson made his famous (infamous?) “trip” in the White Bronco, so make of that what you will.  Two – the family went to Florida to hit Disney World and Universal Studios. This was a big deal b/c there are 5 of us and even then, neither place was cheap (I haven’t looked into costs recently, but I know it’s a lot more than it used to be).  My favorite part at the time (and still kind of a favorite) was getting to “meet” the Ninja Turtles at Universal Studios.  We got pictures taken with all 4 of them and April, but I’ve only managed to locate evidence of 2 turtles and April.  I might post the pictures that I’ve found … maybe.

2. What is your favourite sound?

Um … either the sound of rain on a sturdy roof (tin roofs make a really nice sound when they’re rained upon) or spawn’s soft breathing when he’s sleeping.

3. And your favourite view/thing to see? What always makes you happy seeing it?

Spawn’s face when he sees me picking him up from school.  That smile as he barrels toward me (I swear, that boy should be a football player) just melts my heart

4. What is your favourite weather? (Yes, we are done here with favourites now.)

Honestly, I like my weather to hit about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (which is … what? 21 degrees Celsius?) with clear skies and a light breeze (so … this could happen in any season where I live – we actually had that a couple days in winter … and then the following day it went down to 25 degrees F and we had snow.)        

5. Which book would you recommend your followers to definitely read?

If you have months … The Great Book of Amber, by Roger Zelazny.  The thing is huge, and sometimes a little convoluted, but I greatly enjoy it.

6. How long would you survive in a zombie apocalypse?

Since more than likely I’d be focused on keeping spawn alive, probably not as long as I’d like.  But I’d try to be careful, and we do keep a lot of sharp implements in the house, so … maybe?

7. In above mentioned zombie apocalypse, which five things are in your survival backpack?

Oh good lord.  I have no earthly idea.  At least one box of protein bars to split with spawn, as large a bottle of water as I can fit in there, a large pack of wipes, a first aid kit (also as large as can fit), and … um … one of spawn’s stuffed animals (because he’s going to need something to comfort him … for a while, anyway)

8. Would you (in above mentioned apocalypse) team up or try to survive alone?

Certainly team up, if I can find people that I trust (and that don’t totally terrify spawn)

9. Describe two of your survival mates in that apocalypse in case you’d team up.

Gah.  Look at you, making me think.  Skilled with some sort of weapon – I’d say blade over gun, mostly due to the noise factor, though the idea of not letting them close is a good argument for gun … so, maybe proficient with both?  Compassionate enough to be willing to keep a 5-yr-old along for the ride, but pragmatic enough to know when a person’s beyond saving (don’t keep someone around that’s been bitten or has consistently demonstrated a severe lack of team-playing) ….  Competent in regards to what is safe to eat in the wild (plant and animal at that point) ….   Oh, heck; I don’t know … (I’m not being very helpful, am I?)

10. What’s the last thing you cooked?

Hamburgers on the grill :)

11. Zombie apocalypse or Woodstock-festival?

I’m gonna go with a Woodstock-esque festival, largely because I’m not big on the idea of dying O=)

Can I cheat and skip the part with “find 11 new questions”? Some of these are just too interesting to not have someone else answer :) So I tag the following (and none of you should feel obligated to do so)  @willowflowerwaterlily , @replicajester , @commandertemplartrash , @gerundsandcoffee  , @bloomingcnidarians , @jedireyslightsaber , @silentstephi and … @thesecondsealwrites

OH MY GOD THOSE ADORABLE FOXESSSSSSSSS shh i have a fox problem :D CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCH A GREAT MONTH!

Thank you so much ✿ I’m pretty pleased with myself, and also really grateful to Hippo for all the effort she’s putting into the challenge!

And yes, aren’t they super adorable ? I love them, and I still have quite a bit of the fabric left over, so I have to keep reminding myself that it’s really not a grown-up kind of pattern ( Maybe a hat I think I could pull off a hat Must Resist Adorable Fabric)

Rats! <3

feedthedamnfish hat deine Frage beantwortet “3 Things Meme”

a) rats: YAY! b) WHAT? That was unexpected.You sure we live in the same country? (I've never driven an automatic car but I asume I'd feel totally lost, like driving an auto-scooter) c) CONGRATS! I'm sending you a ton of good-pregnancy-vibes! :)

Thank you so much for the good wishes ♥ ♥ ♥ Since Aller guten Dinge sind drei we’re on the home stretch now and fingers are crossed that things will keep going smoothly. Also fist-bump of rat-appreciation to you guys, I’m glad I’m not the only one!

And yes, I sometimes worry I’ll get my citizenship revoked :-P (I also don’t like beer, can you imagine?) But seriously, it’s just like a manual, except your left foot is just happily chillin’ away by the side. And if you’ve ever regularly commuted 100km every day in rush hour stop-and-go traffic, you’ll defend your automatic to the death!

Oooh I enjoyed this. It was simple, but captured the pair well.

continuousspectrum hat deine Frage beantwortet “DAI Drabble: Restraint”

I love how you captured his voice!

Thank you ♥ It was an interesting exercise and I probably spent more time browsing Leo and Thesaurus to fine-tune the words than actually writing, but I’m really happy with the result!

Yeees, this! Such an important part of their relationship, and written so beautifully. As much as they just want to fall into each other’s arms after being separated for such a long time, for that moment, there are duties to fulfil and roles to obtain-they are leaders after all.

But still they watch each other from afar, making sure their beloved is alright, and they both know, and only then they can wait just a little bit longer, and this is so beautiful. Their love is so beautiful. :)

(and Felexa will probably try to sneak in / arrive during the night again the next time she returns ^_^)

LET ME SMOOCH YOUR FACE *smooches* That is exactly what I was thinking and I love you for picking up on every part of it (and also putting it into such beautiful words). I just love their whole story so much and I’m so grateful to you for flailing about it with me

painterofhorizons hat deinen Eintrag gerebloggt “First meme - Shepard/Garrus, Garrus first time being told about making a wish while seeing shooting stars (does that...” und das hinzugefügt:

Oh god… This was supposed to be some kind of silly funny prompt because that line was the one that jumped out at me first and I didn’t even expect you to dig Shakarian up again and especially not so fast and now you gave me this and I sit here totally teared up. THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!! HERE HAVE MY HEART AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH IT! *hands you heart and walks away silently sobbing*

You totally had me with “I’m sorry?” and even more with “is that supposed to be an order” and even even more with the interstellar debris burning up” and okay, you actually got me with everything. Yes.

This. Is. So. Beautiful. Yes.

Thank you so much for writig it!

LET ME SMOOCH YOUR FACE TOO *smooches* And, um, also hand you a box of Kleenex? (sorry about that) I’m just melting with happy and fuzzy feelings, because the idea hit me so hard and I was hoping so badly you’d like it, so THANK YOU for saying all these lovely things ♥
