Yes, Paulo, you are right!

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do
is the worse kind of suffering.

Paulo Coelho.

Paris, mon amour

Don't. Let. Go.

NEVER GIVE UP.
IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL LIFE.

The Hunger Games

WINNING WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS. LOSING MEANS CERTAIN DEATH.

In a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called the Hunger Games. There is only one rule:
kill or be killed.

When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sister's place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature.

(Covertext)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is truly captuaring, breathtaking and will take your sleep away!
After Katniss' voluntarily step forward she is going to the capitol with the other tribute from District 12, Peeta. He is the boy who gave her bread many years ago and kept her alive with this gesture.
Together with their mentor Haymitch and their stylists they have to work out a plan to keep Katniss and Peeta alive in the arena. They have to be unforgettable to get sponsored by the people of Panem. But who will survive this cruel game the Capitol puts on?
You won't be disappointed, but for sure you will have something to think about, after finishing this book. And I gurantee you will have the desire to start book 2 (The Hunger Games - Catching Fire) at once!

I just can say that The Hunger Games is amazing and one of the best books I have read so far.

Auch auf Deutsch erschienen unter dem Triologietitel "Die Tribute von Panem" im Oetinger Verlag. Wirklich absolut lesenswert! - auch wenn die Originalversionen letztendlich doch nicht an ihrem Sprachgehalt zu übertreffen sind ...

music is stronger than words with emotions

Eigentlich wollte ich ja 'nen schönen Jahresrückblick schreiben. Allerdings bin ich da jetzt gerade irgendwie nicht so wirklich in der Stimmung zu.
Deshalb widme ich mich auch gleich meiner Therapie. Dem Schreiben. Aber nicht hier. Hierher gehört Musik. Weil sie Emotionen einfach viel besser transportieren kann. Und weil ich The Fray dafür liebe, dass sie diese Art von Musik machen. Unbeschreiblich und unübertrefflich.

Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
-The Fray "You Found Me"

Neeee, oder?

Notiz an mich selbst: Weniger stalken; das tut dir nicht gut.

na, das wird ja spaßig morgen abend ... lächeln wir uns einfach mal durch die nacht. irgendwie ...

1 day

i will go to celebrate that school's out.
i so damn will! no matter what.
and i'm still hoping.

People

Yes, yes, yes.
We live in a society where everybody is allowed to think and say what he or she wants to. Yes, this IS good - better than before the French Revolution. But, really! Some people should just shut up and don't say everything they think - especially what they think of other people.
Sometime ago you thought everything would be better and easier when you're older and more grown up; people would be wiser, friendlier. Maybe.
But it's the opposite. Everybody talks about everyone behind their backs and you get the feeling nobody likes anybody else. I mean, what's up here? I don't get you people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I AM a little bit naive and narrow-minded in this case but that's the way I was brought up - be friendly. And what did life teach me within the last seventeen years? Don't talk about somebody behind their backs if you're not sure the person you're talking to will keep it to him- or herself. Cause otherwise you'll be the bad one.
Complicated world, complicated people. I want the earlier, easier years back ... ♥

Holidays and Black Ice.

Who does not wish for the christmas vacation to start already?
I can't imagine. Sleep till noon, party all night, enjoy the snow and just relax. This would be so damn nice right now. But school's keeping everybody busy. Still. Three (poor ones: four) exams to go till Christmas. Yeahy.
I know, I have no idea what I'm texting. I just want to text something again. I'm confused.
If school goes on like this we will be burned out till Summer 2013 ...
