alles ausquatschen :: to let it all out
thursday, 30th march 2006
somehow, someone thought that senior students needed a lesson in belly dancing. well, i have to say, i've never felt so incompetent up til then. it's not like it's even sport. but yes. turns out von can't do a hip drop. and now some muscle in her thigh's strained. never again. never. again. but i did like her skirt. twas very shiny and jingly. kind of like nay's purple gypsy skirt.
german test was ok. by "ok" i mean, i have no clue what i wrote because it's all one big blur, but i'm ok with that. i'll just have to make up for it during the rest of the year.

we lost! we LOST! WE lost! ok, so we were expecting it. and they kinda let us go easily. geez... it's not like we're that bad. (shuttup, tim, i don't wanna hear it) i tried. really i did. running around after them may not have helped, but it was moral support. *nods convincingly* maybe i should have checked with someone what touch really was. hmmm... that might have been useful. oh well. at least no one actually expected us girls to win against the boys.
THERE WAS MUD! we (by "we" i meant them who actually played) smelt like sewerage after. what do you boys put in your mud?! poo?! oh well. at least, we lost with style. go our matching uniform! "show us your tackle" pink top, old school tartan shorts & hockey socks. now gotta wash sonia's socks and give it back to her. |

| être malade |
sick sick sick... ah well... after tests are over this week, i'll sleep. and stop bludging and actually get to work.
wonder if we have barley water? or at least, things used to make barley water. that's supposed to be good for sick people, isn't it? hmmm... daddy made porridge for me instead of rice. N.B. i don't mind rice, really. in fact, i actually like the stuff. it's like... a staple (surprise surprise)
things are slightly crazy in the world of von, but she's learnt to cope with most of it, especially her disorganised-ness. gotta work on that. also my tendency to talk about myself in third person. maybe i'm just tired.
*blows loudly into tissue* you know, i whinge a lot. gotta stop that too. well, back to work! just wanted to relieve you from last post, which frankly makes me sad. ah well... |

| 貰う |
貰う :: もらう :: to receive
"Unspoken words lay heavy between us. Unspoken words, and unmade gestures. With any other, I would have said farewell with a hug, a kiss, a touch of fingers to cheek, the clasp of hand in hand. With Red, I could do nothing."
~ Sorcha, Daughter of the Forest
all I want is a room somewhere
far away from the cold night air
with one enormous chair
oh wouldn't it be loverly?
lots of choc'late for me to eat
lots of coal makin' lots of heat.
warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet
oh wouldn't it be loverly?
oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still!
i would never budge 'til Spring
crept over my window sill
someone's head restin' on my knee
warm and tender as he can be
who takes good care of me
oh wouldn't it be loverly? |

réconforter :: to comfort
i refuse to eat plain nutella and peanut butter out of the jar just to make me feel better. instead, i will drink a tea that is supposed to "warm and soothe" and recalls good memories... mmm... i should probably use my sense of smell when i'm studying. that is... when i get round to it. |

| trödeln |
trödeln :: to waste time
moderation day today!!! :D yay! even though the novelty has worn out since i've had them since year 7. oh well. day off school's still good. now i'm hanging in there for canberra day. not too long now. not too long...
woke up really late - 10:30 or so. which is latest i've woken up since the start of the term. oh for holidays and sleep ins... *sigh* why do i do chinese school again? oh yeah... because i want to learn. :
anyway, walked down to the shops with dot at about quarter to 12 and met lynn there (who was LATE :P). bought chicken drumsticks for $2 and came back home and cooked awesome pasta with white sauce (and peas and corn). and just as we sat down to eat lunch and pray, tim arrived. just in time for lunch. :P lynn couldn't finish her lunch, so i did the mum thing and finished it for her.
then we wrapped meera and nate's presents and lynn made cards for them with minimum input from tim & i. tim spent the entire time looking through my music library and commenting on the songs there. oh well... both of them were polite and told me my crappy writing looked as good as lynn's. yeah sure. oh well. :D
then they left. and i practised piano for a bit and had a little cat nap, which turned into a little bit longer cat nap. and then had piano lesson. then had dinner and started on homework and preparation for test tomorrow.
today was fun. yep. |

| unsicher sein |
unsicher sein :: to be insecure
worship last night was fantastic! ann led everything. haven't sang that song in aaaages. mmmm... memories of nutrigrain days of old.
was a bit weird not to have bible study with the old group but i'm sure i'll get used to it. apparently i was jittery yesterday. "not myself". really? didn't even notice. hmph.
shopping with lynn and nay after "church" today. took us 4 whole hours to get meera and nathan's prezzie. i think we suck. :P but we found jewellery on sale. lynn saw her friend working at darrell lea. i think she got free chocolate too. :P then we missed the bus and had to get aunty dore chee to pick us up. :$
chapel went well. mum wants to come back every time we have one. oh well. at least i'll have company. bit annoying hearing (almost) the same sermon twice in a week, but i'll survive. drums in the lesson. if i could remember what it was... :$ ah yes. lent and giving up temptation. and what we could give up to get more in touch with God. i think.
find me here
speak to me
i want to feel you
i need to hear you
you are the light
that is leading me
to the place where
i find peace again
you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life
to my soul
you are my purpose
you are everything
and how can i
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
you calm the storms
you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
would you take me deeper now
'cause you're all i want
you are all i need
you are everything
everything |

| verhöhnen |
verhöhnen :: to ridicule
i'm making my costume for non-uniform day tomorrow. the theme is - "From rubbish to runway - one girl's trash is another girl's treasure". in other words, we dress up in rubbish. should be fun!
von: *ties string around various plastic bottles*
dan: what are you doing?
von: making a skirt
dan: a skirt out of bottles?
von: *nods*
dan: that won't be pretty.
thanks dan, oh cute brother of mine with no bladder control... (if you're seeing von with a mop and disinfectant, you'd be right) |

plug for bori and chrissy's fan-art for white ninja... go enjoy a cup of flour. go, go! i personally love the one up now. heehee... chrissy has an octopus on her head *giggles some more*
anyway, school's good.
nay's MSN is either not working, or she's not talking to me.
thursday's tomorrow and I don't wanna wake up early! i want saturday to come and stay forever and ever and ever. (and ever and ever and ever)
i just baked a LOT of cookies and my feet hurt from standing up! but feel a lot better now. all my love went into those crumbly cookies. as you eat them, think of that. *nods*
maths and japanese hmwk still not done. but at least midge gets her prezzie. i'm sorry, girl, i don't even have a card! *freaks out* maybe you can have my blank flashcards instead.
if i had a complaint jar like tara did, i'd be broke-er than i am now. oh dear.
will stop saying "crap" and "dammit" (which looks like damit, which doesn't mean dammit)
i don't actually make sense. yay. |

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
