Yes, my fam and I are going on vacation! We're leaving tomorrow for two weeks. We have booked a nice little house in Denmark with a pool and whirlpool inside. It's close to the sea, too.
All in all, we're gonna be ten people: My parents, my three bros, my aunt and her two daughters, and my grandma. It's gonna be crazy and I'm excited!!!

School was finally over this Wednesday. Next year is going to be my last year of high school, which makes me anxious because I don't know what I'm going to do after that. I don't want to go to college, somehow.

This summer, I'll have to get my driver's license. I'll be too busy later on in the school year. But I don't feel like it, either. I've dreamt of driving for 5 years and most of the time something went wrong. I had a real accident during my exchange visit and a couple of close calls later. Plus I don't want the responsibility.
Heck, I don't know.

Good thing is that my skin problems have decreased. I'm taking some cleaning cremes and now my face is neither red nor swollen anymore.

Oh, I've uploaded some more wallpapers. I haven't been active in a while...Sorry about that. I've gotten tired of dA, of the JC, of being involved in so many places at so many sites...I don't know. *sigh*

I may have internet access in Denmark. If so, maybe I'll find the time to stop by. We'll see.

Have a nice summer!

I know, it's kinda getting old. I was actualy thinking for once that I could catch up with my online stuff again, here and at several other places. Then my internet crashed for a couple of weeks....Thank you....
Nothing worse then just wanting to look something up, a matter of seconds, and realizing you can't... oh well, my big bros got it fixed. So I'm back again.

My spring break is ending tomorrow. I was off the last two weeks. Unfortunately the first week of the break, I got some skin problems. Last week another skin issue hit me. I'm afraid I may have caught a third (!) skin desease. That's really pushing my inner calm.
So, right now I have neurodermatitis, thankfully not very badly, but that first week my entire face was covered with large, red spots; then psora (or psoriasis) and now at least temporarily urticaria. The last two in my face.....GREAT!!!

So, yeah, I'm back. Weather is awesome but seems to be causing the third skin desease....you can look all three up...not nice stuff.
Anyways, I'm learning Japanese right now, did I mention it? I made some progress over this break, which I'm very satisfied with.

Take care guys and I wish you nice, sunny weather. And Happy Eastern!!!

Hey everyone!
I just want to let you know why I'm so absent right now. I'm having to do a 10-15 pages long research paper for school....and I was procrastinating too much. I have two weeks left. I think I'm on page 4 right now. It's really really no fun.

Anyway, other reason for this update....Right now I'm enjoying the last few hours of being 17. Tomorrow, I'll be an adult already, though it feels as if I was 15 just yesterday....Kinda weird. Tomorrow, I'll officially be independent from my parents. I can sign for myself, no need to get my parents permission. I'll be able to see any movie I want (though the ones rated 18+ are usually really violent/gory ones or movies with lots of sex) and I can drink any alcoholic drink I want. Not that I care for alcohol. I'm one out of three non-alcoholics in my class.
So lots of not-so-tragic changes. Great. I'd rather be 16. This is so weird.

So, what's up with you?

I was gonna upload screenshots of my latest wallpapers, but I was delayed by some incredible photos here, so I thought I'd actually do a feature for once.

First one may be very well-known already:

The second one, has some very beautiful shots of Germany, my home country. Most of them were shot in or around forests.

And last but not least, a very surreal looking photo by :

Apart from that, not much happening over here. I watched the Twilight movie on Thursday.....and I'm mad the DVD will come out in June. I can't wait that long.

But life goes on, school started again a week ago....Waiting for my second-oldest brother to return in a few weeks.



Oh, and I just realized that I've been here for more than a year already.
How long have you guys been here?

I've been writing a lot of journal entries lately...xD

Just doing it this way because I absolutely felt like calling someone yesterday, but I didn't have the phone number of anyone who'd be able to understand this.
My oldest brother came over yesterday. He hadn't been here for Christmas, so he brought his Christmas gifts for us with him and just gave them to us yesterday.
I had asked him to buy me a calendar by , because I really liked that one and wanted to support her. My brother told me that the calendar was still being shipped here, but that he also had another gift for me.
The biggest shock of my life: It was the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Student Edition, completely with the latest Photshop version (CS4), InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat.
I went into a complete shock and couldn't even feel very happy. My legs were shaking the entire evening. I know my brother spent a lot of money on that and I just can't help thinking that it's not justified because I only use it for my pleasure, and that I don't deserve it that he's spending so much money on me.
Last year my secong host family already bought me a very expensive necklace for my birthday, and that was just two weeks after I had moved in with them. I was still a total stranger, and yet they did this for me. Now my brother is doing something similar, too. One of the nicest guys in the universe, and he's related to me, and of all the people, he gives me such a gift....
I almost couldn't sleep last night, but I've got an idea what I can give him as a gift later.

On top of Photoshop, I've also got a new computer, because my old one crashed just after Christmas. I've got my internet cnnection back just since today.

So lotsa new stuff here. Photoshop makes me feel bad, though.

Anyway, look forward to new wallpapers!
