h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Stupid world cup, it makes me feel even more left out than usual. I just went home from Uni, and all those people were walking in the opposite direction, into town, to watch in a pub or in the Uni (they broadcast on wide screen in the biggest auditorium).

My unability to join in...as Stephen Fry says. I think this may be my favourite book, his autobiography. I'm reading it again right now.

And tomorrow it's my birthday! I'll be 20. And I'm slightly scared of tomorrow, it's a holiday and I'll be home all alone. Well, I guess I'll read and drink some wine and take a long walk, if it's not too hot. Ah nevermind, I'll go outside anyway

My family already sent me a parcel with presents, as I won't be able to go home until august...My sister made me two very ugly bracelets but she also got me lovely cosmetica from Ives Rocher (french firm): I love the fragrence, it's called Monoi de Tahiti, I think that's a flower . And my Mum got me a towel (always useful ), sweets, chinese tea, fragrance oil and a pocket guide for Munich, which I wanted to visit sometime, now that I live closer. And she wrote a card; I had to cry as I read it.

Hmm, adding a little more: My flat looks a mess. I suppose this is generally acceptable for students, but it bothers me. There is so much "Things to do" that it seems too much for me and I get a little panicky and do nothing at all as a result. Difficult to always remind me of my philosophy: One thing at a time and just don't worry. Not easy to convince myself.

Oh, sorry to have missed that, I will keep a look out for the chat with Terry Jones that was mentioned. But it always is greatly surprising for me that British actors/authors and similar personalities are so easyly accessable! I mean that they seem a lot more like real persons than any American actors/etc. Someone you can actually talk to, or meet walking along streets of London, and being a human being. Others (well, basically Americans, there are not that many German celebrities) seem somehow not real, or indeed living in the same world as me.

I keep posting several times, I always forget things that I wanted to say :

I finished Fry's "Moab is my washpot" today, took me not even two days to read . I think I never needed more than three days ever (which was 4 times now, I think) to read the whole book. Immensely enjoyable, if I may borrow some of his eloquence . Even if you can't identify with some of his character sides (I do, a great deal, identify), there are so many hillarious anecdotes: e.g. when he fiddled with the school-church's organ, so that the registers were completely messed up Highly inspiring

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSANNE
(for yestorday!)

Awwww, thank you Dark Moon!
