Cha-Cha-Changes


Since last November my life has been changing quite a lot, in ways that I would never have expected, and in aspects that I felt I could not influence...so I decided to change somethings I could influence, which unfortunately didnt leave me with too many options. Thats why I've decided to change somethings about myself. Now dont get all excited, Ill probably never stop being a talking too much without thinking and without being asked kind of person. But there are some small things that really annoy me about myslef, like my urge to always be on the safe side (except wehn i leave my home to go and live in the most weirdest countries, of course).

Now, some of you may have seen me when I felt it was time to get my hair cut. For those who havent, Im terrible! I ask everybody about all there experiences with hairdressers, I make thousands of appointments to which I never show up, and when I finally manage to really go to a hairdresser, I fell sick when they take the 2 cm of (no, not that much, please, really just the very bottom bit...no, thats too much really...). Unfortunately, my last haircut was in December and I knew I had to do something, and, as usual, I started asking around. But then it hit me: NO, Im not going to be on the safe side this time, Im born to be wild! And boldly I walked into a very stylish hairderssers close to work without any references! And I asked for an appointment! Then I asked about the price - and boldly walked out without the appointment. My first instinct was to give up but there was another hairdressers just next door and I forced myself into it - and made an appointment without asking for the price, because it was not very stylish, acctually, more the opposite, and it couldnt be worse than the first one I tried.
The tiny little Asian man started cutting like wild, and I was really trying not to keep him from doing his job, so I had my eyes closed during the whole operation. (He gently touched my shoulder before he turned on the drier, and said he was sorry to wake me up). In the end I almost felt comfortable, with all the nice old ladies who had their perms done and the two nice very gay guys cutting and chattering. When I got up I decided that Id done really well with being full of courage and that I shall keep being spontaneous with decisions concerning my hair. Thats when I found out how much money he wanted.
I shall go back to Louise and have my 2 cm cut every once in a while. On the other hand, some people just get their heads shaved...sounds like a plan!
Obs: The woman on the Pic is obviously not me, but her hairstyle is almost like mine, except my fringe is a bit longer, my face a tiny bit rounder, my cut is more layery and less steppy, and the whole thing looks quite a bit shorter on me than on her - acctually, its completely different :)

Soldier, Soldier

Finally, after almost 5 years, I've decided to become a soldier. Coming to terms that I've decided to sign a piece of paper that would condemn me to wearing tights sunday after sunday is quite difficult, but at least I now manage to get in and out of a car wearing a skirt without being indecent. I should get a medal of some kind for that!




My big day was yesterday, sunday the 15 of July 2007. It was amazing! I was given many many cards and loads of attention, which obviously made my day. But the best thing really was my speach - without a single tear! Im becoming a really calm and unemotional person! If it wasnt for my lack of patience I'd be perfect now!




I was really happy to see some people from work and some other friends, who usually wouldnt really go to a meeting, sitting in the congregation. That was quite nice. My favourite person of the day was (of course) Chrigu Binggeli (also known as Mr. Heimberg the 1st). Because of the english incapability of pronouncing the word "Chrigu", we had to adapt his name. We now call him Clicko as long as he behaves. As soon as he starts getting difficult we call him "Fluegel". I like Fluegel - it sounds so similar to Chrigu!





Unfortunately, my friend Maerki Muster Meister, who came to visit last week, wasnt able to stay until today, he just came for a weekend.

Because of his very short stay, Marco had to suffer a running sight seeing tour of Southend. Within 4 hours he has seen our army hall, Southend High Street, London Road, the BHF store where I work, the beach, walked along the worlds longest pier and gotten back to the hall! Well done, Marco!

A New Blog is born



On July 11th, a new blog is born (Unfortunately I couldnt take a picture of the blog, as he is rather shy, above you can see model Osacr J., 8 hours old, acting as if he was my newborn blog). I know Osacr is veeerrrryyy cute, but despite all this resemblance Im not the mum.

Thats all for the moment, finding out how this blogspot thing works is taking all of my brain capacity, I shall leave the writing for a more inspired day :-)

be blessed
