FAQ

* did you study too much?
-> no, I'm afraid I'm always like this... (which probably is why I ended up doing computer science..)

* you know that you're crazy?
-> yes, indeed, it already occurred to me on occasions.. (apart from that I've been told by various people). In fact, I've come to terms with it and enjoy the fact of occasionally surprising people :)

* do you have too much free time?
-> well, generally speaking, no... but somehow my mind can't be bothered to work in a single track only so on occasions it changes to random places... which is why I occasionally end up on this page to write posts like this one...

* what? you are playing an instrument?
-> oh, yes... :) it might well have happened that some of you havent noticed yet since at the moment there are no rehearsals... but beware, sooner or later you will quite likely end up with an invitation to a concert where I'll be playing (only if its any good though :) In case this happens, I'd be very pleased to meet you there!

* and, did you learn any italian? / do you speak some italian now? / can you order food or pay in italian now?
-> oooooh, yes.... I think I did/do/can....

Die Stachelschweine

Eine Gesellschaft Stachelschweine drängte sich an einem kalten Wintertage recht nah zusammen, um durch die gegenseitige Wärme sich vor dem Erfrieren zu schützen. Jedoch bald empfanden sie die gegenseitigem Stacheln, welches sie dann wieder voneinander entfernte. Wann nun das Bedürfnis der Erwärmung sie wieder näher zusammenbrachte, wiederholte sich jenes zweite Übel; so dass sie zwischen beiden Leiden hin und her geworfen wurden, bis sie eine mäßige Entfernung voneinander herausgefunden hatten, in der sie es am besten aushalten konnten.

Lithuanian Brothers

There has been one thing starting to happen in my life that I'm incapable of explaining to myself. I have got used to the fact that, when going abroad, people will guess me belonging to any possible european nation besides Germany. However, now something even weirder is happening:
The older I get, the more people try to help me to Lithuanian elder brothers... By now it has happened twice and that might still seem acceptable and nothing special. However, the thing is: if my 'brother' is an only child it is still ok, but since yesterday I'm supposed to have even more siblings that I have never met in all my life cause my 'new' brother has 3 more brothers who have more --- what?!?! I guess for some people this seems a normal thing to be happening, however I find it slightly weird and spooky.. (I have to admit, I always wished for an older brother, somehow all that whishing must have gone a bit over the top..) So I'm currently thinking of setting up some self-help group like 'Anonymous-Unexpected-Foreign-Brother-Havers', abbreviated 'AUFBH', so if anyone has a similar problem please contact me. Have a nice day :)
