About time, too!

Seriously, why should it take half an hour to find the button that lets you create a new post? It's ridiculous! I want to express my anger somehow. But doing so on a computer keyboard is futile.

Well, life is sad at the moment. It's like a clash of passions really. Hmm, internal rhyme. Basically, I'm sad because Adam has left now. And he's not even at home in Germany; he's having a holiday in Devon. Same country as me. Over a hundred miles away. On top of all this, people at school aren't exactly treating me well. Interesting, as well as a bit macabre, how such situations make it clear who one's real friends are. Most of all - it would just be really nice for people to GTFO of my personal life. Please?

Ich liebe dich...

But at least, I have found the reason I am on this earth. You see, my LANGUAGE NERDINESS is increasing and increasing by the nanosecond.

I have been speaking French since I was seven, and I consider this to be my "official second language".
I had a brief stint with German between the ages of twelve and fourteen, and to my dismay the school would not let me carry on. Of course, ever since I met mein Liebster, there has been something of a revival. It is a truly great language, and one I would really, really like to get better at.
Russian. The country itself has fascinated me ever since I watched the movie Anastasia at the age of eight (yes, I know). Just... how can one nation have all these different cultures? And besides, I really want to learn something with a different alphabet. There's a Russian woman at church, too. And I think a large Russian immigrant community where I live - at least, if the fact that the public library computers offer instructions in Russian, is anything to go by.
Italian. I'd better improve my sprinkling of knowledge of this, because I'm going to Rome in October. I think that if you have a good command of French, it is pretty easy. It's a nice, feminine and arty language. And I prefer it to Spanish. However when I speak/read it, I get a craving for pasta.

During this blog entry, I've been listening to Absent Friends by The Divine Comedy. It is bliss. But it's my second favourite album of them. Wait, while I'm here, I'll make a list.
