lachen - to laugh
two little girls on the bus:
when you’re young, you’re really pretty, but when you’re old, you’re ugly
YEAH, cos when I was young, I was really pretty
you’re still young, I mean when you’re old, like 35… or 20… |

| vereiteln |
vereiteln - to frustrate
ack... i've lost all motivation to do any work now that testing's over... and the german translation that i'm supposed to do for hmwk is boring me to death...
anyway... on a happier note, i've decided what i want for my birthday... complete works of shakespeare, so mum's getting that for me, or i'm getting that on the weekend... either way... then mum'll write "to von, happy birthday, 13 June 2005" and we'll all pretend that i made up my mind 3 months ago. |

zitieren - to quote
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
~Shakespeare
one… two… three… *sigh* :P
I love Shakespeare… he’s cool… I love reading his poetry and his plays as long as I don’t have to analyse them, I’ll be fine… We’re doing poetry in English now, and even though we’re not actually doing Shakepeare cos he wasn’t a 19th century poet, our poetry book’s got excerpts from his sonnets and his plays… favourite one at the moment:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixéd mark
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But hears it out ev’n to the edge of doom:-
If this be error, and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
~ [Sonnet CXVI], Shakespeare
“Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds” – I like that… remind me not to settle for second best when it comes to love? I don’t want to find years into my marriage that my type of love is the one which alters when things change, when circumstances change, when my husband changes…
gah… why am I even thinking of this just yet? it’s gonna be a few years yet before I even start thinking of being ready to get married (although some people I know are ready, or think they are).
Crazy crazy hectic weekend. Spring Concert all over. *breathes a sigh of relief* Not that it was bad, just crazily hectic. Really quite fun. This was my second last one… as we were lining up I was thinking how much I’d miss this. Cos you don’t get this sort of opportunity when you’re all grown up and in uni… No choirs just for fun… *sigh* ah well… I still have another year of music… I’ll just have to make the best of it, won’t i?

| jemandem vertrauen |
jemandem vertrauen - to trust somebody 5 quirks: - Perfectionist and procrastinator like Tegan. I like things I do to be perfect but I also bludge… a lot. I get distracted easily, it’s not so much that I’m lazy, I just get distracted by things.
- I like being in control. I guess I get it from Dad but in a milder form. That’s why I don’t ever want to drink. I don’t want the possibility that I might lost control of my body or what I say, that’s just scary
- I get scared/freaked out easily, ask Dot, ask my German class… I don’t like hearing about dead anythings, or signing your name in blood on a piece of paper with a black border (the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, don’t ask)
- I actually enjoy going to school now that I’m doing things that I actually want to study (unless of course I haven’t done the hmwk, then I don’t wanna go to class or if I have a test… but that doesn’t count. Unless I’m over-prepared for a test I never want to go in)
- The skin on my head is a different colour from my skin elsewhere. It's weird.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
