Right, so now I'm the owner of a genuine Live Journal blog. I think. I believe that henceforth I'm supposed to post my bits and pieces about my ever-so-exciting-life, which I lead.

Problem is, my life is not that exciting. The most exhilarating thing that happened to me today is the arrival of a new refrigerator with a freezing compartment, I might add.
It is a massive ice-cabin, so it was quite an impressive sight. Especially when I was trying to lift it all by myself. (Note: do not try this at home.)

No, the most awesome news I heard today was this email I just received from a friend of mine. Since yesterday evening he and his wife are the proud parents (I wanted to say 'owners', oops) of two little baby boys, named Sem and Ruben.

"Sprachlos und uberglucklich sind wir."

How ubercool is that.

To get things clear, I'm definitely not envious of the fact that her belly had to be ripped open completely in order to get the twins out (she did survive, luckily), but hey. They've got two boys now, so what the heck. Can't imagine how it's like to have a huge belly the one minute and two little heaps of human beings the other.

Even more, at least she doesn't have to think about an essay question for the 'Heroes or Terrorists' course. I desperately want to write something on the Prioress's Tale by Chaucer, but I can't think of a decent research question.

Woe is me.

And why wasn't my outcome Hermione in the all-knowing-and-ultimate-Harry Potter-personality-quiz? She is brilliant. She would not have problems with stupid things like research topics. She has lovely bouncy red-brownish curly hair.

I think it's time for me to get physical. Therefore, I will now go and clean out the fridge. Take this as a bit of personal advice: If everything fails miserably in your life and you're feeling fat and useless, you will be able to tell yourself: "At least my fridge is clean."

Yes my friends, a dirty fridge is a constant reminder of the frailty of the human condition and as such, it is to be cherished.

Wheeh, I actually got a reply from someone. And not just anyone, no sir, from Leclerc herself!
Now me happy. Now me proud of me Live Journal.
And yes, isn't this avatar great? I don't know if Roes made it, I copied it from some weird yet funny Alan Rickman messageboard.

Still 4 weeks to go, and counting.

Still haven't got a clue. Why does my post look so stupid compared with others?

I have no Idea how this works. Just trying to figure things out.
