If you think that you should be on this list, please leave a comment.

You know this random periods of me going "waaaaaaah too many people on my friendslist"? And I never actually do something until someone else defriends me and I finally get the courage? Yeah. This is one of them. My perspective on this journal changed during this year, maybe because I started working. I feel that I share too much, that I lose the overview and that to a lot of you, no matter how nice you are all, I miss a personal connection. Therefore the friends-cut. Please don't take it personal. We'll see each other around elsewhere :)

Smallish friendscut. Either it just didn't fit or I've got the impression that you abandoned your LJ. If you haven't, just poke me and I'll readd.

Ahem, ja, endlich mal wieder ein Post auf Deutsch. Ich gebe zu, das hat jetzt etwas lange gedauert, aber erst war ich zu beschäftigt und danach zu faul alles nachzuholen. Meine Eltern waren über Ostern hier, ich habe in einem Theaterstück als Cancangirl die Beine geschwungen, alle Klausuren und Essays geschrieben und hoffentlich bestanden und die letzten Tage mit Verabschieden und Packen verbracht.

Heute kamen meine Eltern erneut nach Oxford und brachten wieder einmal das beste Wetter seit langem mit. Heiß, Sonnenschein - sehr nach ihrem Geschmack, denn sie berichteten dass zu Hause eher Winter herrscht. Wir bummelten ein bisschen, gingen in einer Tapasbar in der ich schon einmal mit Freunden gewesen war, essen, kauften Proviant für die Fahrt morgen ein und saßen noch etwas auf der Terasse in ihrem Zimmer. Diesmal hatten sie nämlich das beste Zimmer im Gasthaus erwischt, mit Blick auf den Garten, also blieben wir draußen bis die Sonne anfing unterzugehen und ich dann heimlief.

Morgen kommen sie nach dem Frühstück her, helfen mir den Rest meines Krams einzupacken und dann geht's ab nach Hause. Die Fähre legt um acht Uhr abends ab und wir werden wir so gegen 1-2 Uhr nachts zu Hause sein. Von Calais braucht man nur etwa 3,5 Stunden mit dem Auto dahin, es beweist nur wie schlecht ich in Erdkunde bin, dass mich das überrascht hat.

Es ist schon ein komisches Gefühl, ich kann es nicht so richtig beschreiben oder festlegen. So schwer diese neun Monate am Anfang auch waren, langsam habe ich mich doch daran gewöhnt, hier zu leben und mich am Schluss zu Hause gefühlt. Und irgendwie habe ich es auch langsam satt, schon wieder zusammenzupacken und wegzugehen, nur um mich an einem Ort niederzulassen, den ich auch wieder bald verlassen muss. Ich hab es satt so umherzuziehen, ich möchte endlich an einem Ort auspacken und wissen, dort bleibe ich erstmal.

Zurückblickend war es eine schöne Zeit hier. Ich habe getan, was ich seit einer Ewigkeit tun wollte, ein Lebenstraum sozusagen, schließlich trug ich ihn acht Jahre meines Lebens mit mir herum. Ich habe so viel darüber erfahren, wie es ist hier zu leben, über die Menschen hier und hoffentlich auch mein Englisch ein wenig aufgefrischt. (Ich werte die Tatsache, dass ich tatsächlich "aufgebürstet" (to brush up) getippt habe und dann erstmal überlegen musste was zur Hölle das jetzt wirklich auf Deutsch heißt, als gutes Zeichen). Ich habe so viele tolle Leute hier kennengelernt, wunderbare neue Freunde gewonnen und obwohl ich auch meine Leute zu Hause vermisst habe und ein paar miese Wochen am Anfang hatte muss ich sagen, das war es definitiv wert. Ich werde dieses Dreivierteljahr als eines der besten in meinem Leben in Erinnerung behalten. Aber jetzt ist es Zeit, wieder heimzukommen, denn so sehr ich auch meine Freunde hier vermissen werden, ich freue mich auf meine Familie und Freunde zu Hause. Manches kann man eben nur mit Leuten erleben, die dich schon Jahre kennen. Und natürlich, Jan.

Obwohl ich es kaum fassen kann dass es Juni ist (ich kann mich noch so gut daran erinnern als ich darauf wartete dass es endlich Januar sein möge) und Juni heißt dass sehr bald Juli ist, kann ich es kaum noch abwarten. Erst neulich spielten wir gleichzeitig Pokèmon (jaja, ich bin wieder süchtig danach geworden, Ruhe auf den billigen Plätzen XD) und redeten derweil miteinander, da sagte er: "Das ist ja fast wie zu Hause." Und ich antwortete: "Ja, aber auch nur fast." Es geht uns beiden gerade wirklich auf die Nerven. Wir verschieben unser Zubettgehen zu unmenschlichen Zeiten denn Schlafen gehen heißt, dass der Computer ausgeschaltet wird und das wiederum ist leider so sehr viel mehr als einfach nur Gute Nacht sagen und einschlafen. Es heißt dass der Andere weg ist. Nicht nebenan oder auch nur ein paar Kilometer weiter, nein, weg, verschwunden, außer Reichweite, bis man wieder gleichzeitig online ist. Was durchaus jeden Tag für einige Stunden der Fall war die letzten Wochen, weil ich ja nun nichts Besseres zu tun hatte, aber es ist einfach nicht dasselbe. Als wir beide noch viel zu tun hatten, war es nicht so wichtig. Es war sowieso noch so lang bis wir uns wiedersehen würden, Rumjammern änderte daran eh nichts, also warum überhaupt daran denken. Aber nun dass das Wiedersehen in so greifbarer Nähe liegt, nur ein paar Wochen weit weg werden wir beide zusehends ungeduldig. Es war eine verdammt lange Zeit und sie soll endlich vorbei sein.

Morgen mache ich den nächsten Schritt in Richtung Ende. Ich werde diesen Winzraum verlassen (Zitat Mama: "Ich dachte schon, das wäre größer..." Zitat Papa: "Ach was, im Knast ist noch weniger Platz, stellt euch nicht an."), dieses Wohnheim, diese wundervolle Stadt, die mein Zuhause für so lange war und es ist Zeit für ein paar Dankeschöns. Danke an all meine Freunde hier, die diese Zeit langsam aber sicher erst erträglich machten. Danke an meine Familie und Freunde zu Hause und natürlich euch alle, die alle meinen gelegentlichen Jammertiraden und Gemecker zugehört haben. Und danke an Jan, für's Geduldigsein am Anfang, für's immer da sein wenn ich es brauchte, trotz der Distanz und für .... der zu sein, der er nunmal ist.

Danke, an jeden der dazu beigetragen hat, meine Zeit hier so schön zu machen!

Und an dieser Stelle einen schönen Gruß an meine nicht-LJ-besitzenden Leser (z.B. Christiane, meinen Onkel und den DAAD), die natürlich herzlich eingeladen sind hier weiterzulesen - aber leider werden deutsche Einträge ab jetzt die Ausnahme sein.

Alle Ausgaben des Oxford Observers kann man hier lesen, es sind ja immerhin dann doch dreizehn geworden.

Schaf unterwegs, over and out.

And it is time for a longer update again. Right now the days are running by so fast that I really go crosseyed from the effort to keep up. Where has the week gone? Where have the last five weeks gone, for that matter?

I've been a very busy bee this week because I made visits and got visitors. Yay! On Saturday I took my beloved £6 - bus to London where I met up with liamida, to you non LJ-ers known as my friend Katja from Cologne. We spend a very nice day running around in London, looking at stuff, even occasionally buying some, not really making much sight-seeing as we both been there and done that. I went with her to an arcade, incidentally the same I visited with lina_lau, and we played a drummer game in which I was even not that bad. And it was so much fun. Back in Japan I also had the most fun with the fake-music-instrument games. And I so need a Dance-Dance-Revolution pad when I come back ... to train and then beat you all, hah! Ahem.

At the end of the day we met up with Katja's friend Serine (serineannan ) at the King's Cross station who brought us back to her (very, very nice) place in Cambridge. We all had a busy day past us, so we just chatted, drank tea and watched a movie - Lost in Translation. I really, really loved it, you should all go and watch it, it's a terrific movie. And it hit a lot of my nostalgic buttons because it's about strangers in Tokyo and I got all the Tokyo vibes back, especially because I don't understand a word Japanese. Like for the main characters it's just a meaningless babble for me, but with a definite sound and stress pattern, like a specific kind of music you listen to during a travel and then suddenly hear on the radio at home. So, I was a bit sad after that but luckily Serine had offered us to use her PC whenever we wanted so I could talk half an hour to khamura before going to bed.

On Sunday I had my first real traditional English breakfast (which is tasty but my stomach can't handle that much fat in the morning) and then we went looking for colleges. Cambridge is very, very pretty. A bit like Oxford, just even more old and traditional buildings and open space. Amazing architecture and athmosphere, I definitely will come back there with my parents in April. Pictures of London and Cambridge are below the post. liamida and me took the convenient 3 £ Megabus back to Oxford, watched a bit "USS Bumblebee Bush" and fell dead into our bed / inflated mattress.

Monday I showed liamida around Oxford. We missed the opening hours of most colleges (first we were too early and later we were too late) but I could show her enough to keep her entertained, or so I hope ;) Tuesday she accompanied me to my Man and Environment lecture, we cooked lunch together and went to see the colleges we missed. The most impressive was Magdalene's College, by far. You step from the crowded main street into the college, wander through the hallways and ... boom, are on a huge open area with more buildings, gardens and even a deer park. You don't expect to see something like this from outside at all. It's a bit like stepping into a completely different world and I'm glad I showed it to her (pics below). Unfortunately we missed the opening hours of Christ Church College again but by now we we had seen so many colleges during the last couple of days that it didn't matter that much. In the evening I took her with me to the gospel choir and to meet my gorgeous Vampires groups and we had pancakes at charshy's place in A afterwards.

Wednesday morning liamida was supposed to take her bus to Stansted airport. Unfortunately the National Express bus company disagreed with us on that point. National Express has two stops in Oxford, one at the main coach stop in the city, Glocester Green and one in Headington, two bus stops further from the one I live at and a ten minutes walk. Naturally we took this one after booking the ticket online. Stupid us, or so said the not very helpful guy at the other end of the customer service line. Something was up with the original busses so they sent replacement busses. Which only stopped at Glocester Green. I mean, twelve people carrying suitcases at the side of the road are not a sign that they maybe want to go somewhere, no. And of course we are all psychic and know which of the twenty busses that whizzed past us was the replacement bus, especially because it was definitely not a National Express Bus. Fortunately among our disgruntled and dismissed co-passengers were some resolute elderly British ladies and two took charge of the situations (one was at least 70, white hair, coloured headcloth, huge glasses, pink lipstick). Quotes from their conversation with the customer service.

"We're standing here since half past eight [it was about 10 a.m. at that point] and freezing to death! Do you want to have a death on your hand, son? I doubt you want to give me the kiss of life."

"I'm not moving an inch away here, I want a coach directly in front of my feet!"

"So, what's your name, lad? Ah, your a sneaky little devil, you don't want to give me your surename."

Lady #1: "No, that's not enough!" *shaking the phone violently
Lady #2: "Don't break the phone now, or we have to buy this poor girl a replacement for it!"

"Give me another cigarette. Gosh, I will have cancer when this is finally over."

Hilarious. Well, less hilarious for the people directly involved, after all there were planes to be caught. National Express wouldn't give them a replacement so they decided to take the Oxford Tube to London and take a coach to Stansted from there. As liamida reported later, she just arrived in time to catch her plane and didn't have the opportunity to go and demand her money back from the National Express counter. Bastards.

Later that daysugarbumfairy came for a visit. The weather was like shown in the pictures below, sunny but cold. Well, until we had lunch. Then it started snowing like mad. O_o We exchanged late Christmas / birthday presents and I got a wonderful sheep-plush cushion from her. Which matches perfectly with the cat-cushion khamura gave me in Japan. Lookit!



Unfortunately the last train to Bath was already going at around six, so she had to leave quite early and we didn't even have time for a cup of tea in my place. Stupid train services.

The rest of the week I spent reading stuff for uni, hunting books for my essay and trying to get Sims 2 running. I'm pretty confident I finish the essay at Monday (it's due Tuesday inofficially Wednesday because of the strike but I didn't tell you that.) Nothing more exciting to report here expect that me, the genius, found out that my laptop has a digicam card reader, after liamida pointed it out to me. So the whole cable juggling and straining of the cams batteries was for nothing. And that the copy room of the library has a scanner which I can use for free. So prepared to be spammed with drawings, the only thing that kept me from it was that I knew the photographing would completely ruin them.

And now, pictures!

I'm back to England since a few weeks now, as some of you might already know.

( Uni stuff )
( Chili's DVD adventure )
That's basically the most exciting thing that happened during the last couple of days. I have enough to do to keep me occupied, if I feel like socialising there's always someone around to go out for a drink or just to hang around and talk, sugarbumfairy will visit me next weekend and I'll go and see liamida in Cambridge the weekend after that, where she visits a friend she met in India. I'll take her to Oxford with me afterwards. Mom and Dad sent one package, is already packing the second and thinking about a third one O_o I think they miss me a bit ^^ They will come over on Easter monday for a week and as my brother has to watch the cat during that time he already said he will come over for a weekend of his own. I can talk to khamura every day and everything's just fine. As much as we are looking forward to when we can see each other again, we are enjoying our time abroad as well. (Not even three months and it's been two years since we got together, amazing ...).

And here some pictures charshy took on our night out with jpangel, where you can see a) surprise, charshy and jpangel (in this order) and b) the new top I bought here quite a while ago. It has a piece of a studded leather belt sewn into the front and I like it very much ^^ Now I'm going to hunt for more books and write emails to get my parents a room in one of the guest houses here.

And off I go again.Will be in London at around 17h local time and in Oxford, hopefully, one or two hours later.

Time for an update of my time in Japan here!

On Saturday we met up with three players of one of my online roleplaygames, campfuckudie, namely the players of Kon, Raenef and Rey. I actually still have troubles remembering their real names because I'm so used to think of them as, well, Kon, Raenef and Rey ^^ Kon's player brought the friend she was staying with, guess what her name was, maegwin_of_hern and sugarbumfairy? ;)

We went out eating okonomiyaki, which is a kind of omelette you cook yourself on a hot plate. You get a bowl of ingrediences, mix them with a raw egg and then pour them on the pate. Very tasty, like every other Japanese food I tasted so far. After that we went karaoke singing which in Japan is a of course a huge thing, after all it was invented here. It doesn't work like at home or in Britain, where you sing in front of your pals and the other guests in a pub, but you go into a hotel-like building with dozens of small rooms which have only a table, a bench around it and a karaoke machine inside. You pay per hour and sing as many songs as you can fit in, choosing from a variety that fills two telephone book sized volumes. It was great fun, especially listening to them singing Japanese anime themesongs O.o I stuck to the easy, hence, English stuff and obviously didn't even sing badly. I definitely want to go once more before I have to go back to England.

On Sunday we finally managed to go to the Tokyo Sealife Park. It's a huge glass egg at the shore of the sea with escalators leading underground to the aquarium. It was full of families with children because you can get in for free til you are 11. Cuteness overload, I tell you. Japanese children are simply just adorable and although they more or less can do what they want really well behaved. Usually I get cranky when I'm in a room full of little brats but there? No child was running around or yelling or pushing. It was not exactly as silent as a grave, of course, but it was not annoying or deafening loud although there were small children everywhere. And if they would not be cute enough on their own, they get dressed up with things like hats with teddy ears and ... gah. Cute!

The fish were cool, too. They had Dory and the "My bubbles!" fish and Jacques from Finding Nemo ;) and other very interesting species. I actually feel a bit stupid now because I didn't know that tunas are so damn big. I mean, I didn't think they were as small as a tin but well, normal sized? Not as huge as they are O_o And, penguins. Let's not forget the penguins because, well, penguins rock. Especially fairy penguins. We first thought they were the younglings of the other penguins but no, again learned something. They are very small and their plumage shimmers blue in the sunlight, thus their name. Btw., the LINUX penguin is a fairy penguin, the creator of LINUX was bitten by one and then took him over as mascot.

Monday was my birthday and thanks to everyone for their kind wishes. khamura took me out for dinner in a very nice restaurant which served tonkatsu, which is a kind of cutlet. And I even drank mussle soup. Again, very delicious. I think I will have to lose weight as soon as I come back from here because the food here is too good. And the candy, too.. That's what Masaki, our host here, gave me for my birthday (he's such a sweet guy, he really is hardly at home at all and we maybe spoke two or three times but he gave me a present O_o), traditional candy made out of rice and powdered tea. It looks like marzipan slices and tastes slightly like raw cookie dough. We didn't do anything spectacular but that was okay, after all, my best and most desired birthday present is right here in this room with me on two legs. :)

And today we went once more to the Tokyo Government Tower, after I went with khamura to his university. While he had Japanese classes I sat in the cafeteria and finished The Rule of Four (great book, by the way, if you liked The Eight and hated Da Vinci Code, go for that one) and after lunch visited his anthropology class (and confused his lecturer because he feared I was a student which he couldn't remember xD) The lecture was actually quite interesting, so I wasn't too bored.

Our second attempt to go up the tower was successful, the speed elevator took us straight to the 45th floor. The view was breathtaking. You only really notice how big Tokyo really is as soon as you see it from above. I think this hugeness is what gave me a bit of a cultural shock when I came here, after all I spent the last couple of months in Oxford, which is probably the complete opposite of Tokyo, building wise.

I still really enjoy my time here and am a bit sad that it's only one more week. Though there are definitely things I look forward to. Like my heating. And forks and knives ;)

This weekend we'll be at Disneyland, btw. :D

And now - pictures! Unfortunately none of the government tower because I forgot to charge my camera.

Bilder! Leider keine von der Aussicht vom Rathaus weil ich vergessen hatte meine Kamera aufzuladen.

Lo and behold, it is a post by The Sheep. Neither did ninjas kidnap me nor have I got lost in the maze of Tokyo's streets.

I've settled here, more or less, in khamura's room which is surprisingly big, I thought it would be much smaller. Unfortunately he didn't exaggerate describing the lack of insulation and heat, it is freezing inside here. Actually when the sun shines I'm rather outside than in here. At least we manage to keep our room more or less heated.

I haven't seen that much of Japan yet, due to three reasons. First of all I didn't mind where I was at the beginning, as long as khamura was there, too. It was a bit odd to see him again after he had been just a moving picture on my screen for so long but I got used to it after the few first hours and what can I say, I had forgotten how nice it is to have him close. :) Second of all my sleep-wake-rhythm was completely wrecked when I came here anyway and jetlag didn't do any good to that. I randomly fell just asleep for hours during the day, couldn't sleep at night and I only fought this by forcing myself to stay awake during the last two days and it was very hard. But I think I more or less managed myself to get a normal day-night rhythm again. Third reason is, the usual Travel Curse of The Sheep. Travelling alone is usually not a problem but when people travel with me, Things Go Wrong.

New Year's Eve ... I got emails and IMs from you guys "Whoa, New Year in Tokyo, you guys must have had an awesome time, I saw the pictures." I winced, reading those. Why? Cos I spent New Year's Eve standing in a park without anything happening. Nada. Zilch. Not one firework, nothing. Why, you ask me? Well.

The evening before was actually quite good. One of khamura's classmates' birthday was on the 1st of January and she had invited us to join her and a few other guys to eat in a restaurant in the city. The food was delicious (all of you who think "Japanese only eat fish, durr", that's about as true as British people only eat plumpudding and Germans only sauerkraut. I could live off Japanese food by now.) and the people funny. Unfortunately nobody really had plans for midnight so at around eleven we stood outside, not knowing where to go. Sarah, whose birthday we were celebrating, phoned her hostmom who told her we should go to the Meiji-Shrine, the place to be at New Year's Eve. For those of you who are familiar with this kind of Japanese tradition - laugh, yeah, we didn't know it better. For those of you who aren't - just like we did, including the three exchange students living in Japan for months now... - it is basically waiting in a huge crowd until you can go inside the shrine where you can look at people hitting a gong (108 times to be precise, to chase away the human desires.). Then you throw coins in a basin. Then you go and buy script rolls to write your wishes for the new year on so that the gods of the shrine will read them. Culturally very interesting, maybe, but as we only got there so late we were still in the queue when the clock hit midnight and as there were so many people the police actually locked the way back, you didn't have a choice but to stand there. We waited around half an hour to get in and well, as culturally wholesome this might have been it was also very boring.

We went home, frozen solid and very tired, khamura nearly crouching on his knees because he was so sorry, but I wasn't really mad or reproachful, it was after all not his fault. He wouldn't listen anyway ;)

We stayed home the next two days, Sunday because we were knackered and Monday because everything of interest was closed and it rained. Tuesday we wanted to go to the Metropolitan Government Tower, you can go to the 48th floor for free and have a look around the city.... if you don't catch one day where it is closed because it's still holidays like we did. We went to go shopping in the city instead. I got the coolest watch ever (it's a small ladybug which opens its wings when you press the antlers), a pendant for my mobile phone and speakers for my laptop (which didn't work and we threw away the bill. Woe.).

Now, yesterday we wanted to go to the Tokyo Sealife Park, one of the biggest worldwide. We both love stuff like that and were really looking forward to it ... unfortunately it is closed every Wednesday. We only knew it after going there by train because it was neither mentioned on their webpage nor in the travelguide. As it is in the middle of nowhere we had to wait half an hour for the train back, which is quite an exception in Tokyo. Pretty frustrated we went back home to an arcade with Masaki, khamura's host instead. It's an arcade where you pay per 15 minutes, not per game so we tried out pretty much everything. I had looked forward to DDR but the arcade was so loud I couldn't hear the music and completely messed it up. But there were other cool games, such as an air guitar game and a mambo drum game, no joke.

And the next bad news is that the 9th of January, my birthday is Coming of Age Day in Japan this year -.- Meaning, it's not only my birthday but the birthday of all damn 20 year olds in Japan. Whee for them, woe for me because everything worth going will be completely flooded, booked out, etc. According to my travel guide I chose the worst time to travel to Japan in the year anyway.

This actually sounds as if it was completely shitty here, but it isn't. We just have a bit much of bad luck but actually I really like it here. khamura's host is nice, the weather is so pleasant compared to the brutal English winter (yeah, it still is cold but it's not this mean, sharp cold that makes your bones chill), and everything is so different that even a trip to the supermarket is a small adventure.

Other things I noticed in Japan:

• Japanese like uniforms. A lot. Especially with white gloves.
• Japan is incredibly clean. You could eat from the floor of the train wagons. Damn, you could eat from the floor of every building.
• Japanese like dressing their dogs. And putting ribbons on their heads. Only small dogs, though. I think I only saw one undressed small dog so far (I bet he gets teased a lot). Big dogs don't get this "privilege."
• Japanese sleep whenever they sit and wait for something. When you step into a train in England, everyone reads, in whatever position. Here everyone sleeps, but they actually manage to stay seated. Typical example: A family enters the train, father carrying the sleeping toddler daughter who doesn't budge an inch while she is given over to the mother and arranged on her lap. A few minutes later mother and father have fallen asleep, too.
• Mobile phones are niftier and smaller than at home - but people put so much accessoires on them that you can't see the phone anymore because a fistfull of small toys and gadgets is hanging from it in a thick bundle.
• You don't get any tissue here, may it be toilet paper or handkerchief, that has more than one layer.
• Everything has a cute little mascot. Even the police. I kid you not. This is Pi-po chan, who represents the Tokyo Police Department. I saw him when we were queueing in front of the shrine and it had a special kind of absurdity when those grim, armed policemen were standing under a sign with this little guy on it (it showed when to proceed and when to stop).

In other words, I am well. The futon is marvelous for my back (it hurt one day like hell and then stopped overnight), I'm getting used to chopsticks, I actually can roleplay because while Jan has classes everyone on the other side of the world is online. I'm enjoying every minute with him, knowing it won't last long but I also know the goodbye won't be as hard as the last one because I like the life I have in England and it's a life where I'm used to not having him around. And with a bit of more luck I might even see a bit more of the country ;)

And welcome to my three new LJ friends, uiuiui (found him via prettyboyfloyd, right now he bemaons the decreasing hits on his page, so go forth and read him, I think especially logan_rennt might think he's interesting) , die_fresse (again found vial prettyboyfloyd, added him a while ago but forgot to announce it) and inupr0n (Obi-Wan Kenobi in campfuckudie).

Speaking of campfuckudie, I will meet two co-players on Saturday! If the city doesn't collapse in a huge earthquake, with my luck ;)
