All I want for Christmas is...a Playstation 3, CoD, a new bike, an iPad...?

Hello,
I'm sorry for not writing for a long time, but I'm honest, I hadn't had a lot of freetime because of school and now we have winter break :)
We have so much snow here in Germany, do you also have snow?
Christmas is in four days and yeah, I'm one of those persons who writes something about it.

Every year it's the same question: What do you want for Christmas?

And many people already know the answer, because they begin to think about their present(s) pretty early - I know people who know what they want for Christmas in September.

When I was younger my mom asked me to write a wish list, with many things written on it and she decided what to buy and what'd be my Christmas gift.

Okay, sometimes I miss that, but not because of the presents, it's because I'd like to be very excited on Christmas eve for not knowing what's under the fir tree.

I'm not old, but I can say that I have "everything". Of course there's always something you want, maybe just a new jacket or new shoes, but I can say that I'm happy with those things I have.

2010 was a very nice year for me, I've been to England and to Italy and I spend so much time with the people I love. There are so many people in the world who can't say that they're happy.

And hey, c'mon Christmas is not about the presents you get. What I like most about Christmas is that I can spend an amazing day with my family. We celebrate Christmas in an Italian way, we eat fish at night, because we're Catholic and meat is "forbidden" for the 24th (but I never eat meat, so it's not a big deal for me).

My granny is an awesome cook, Jamie Oliver pack your stuff! ;)

You don't have to do something special at Christmas it's just about beeing together with the people you love.

So Mariah Carey, it's true: I actually don't want the same person that you want for Christmas, in my eyes the "you" is for the people I love :)

Iris.

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am 





A wonderful song. 
And Iris is my little sister's name.

Do you know those moments when a song describes exactly how you feel?

Bad person - interesting person?

What makes a person interesting?

I don't mean the beauty of a person, because that's in the eye of the beholder, I mean a really, really interesting character. 

To me, the bad person of a movie or series is always the most interesting one. But why?

I guess because we also expect that we'd have such a person in our lives (or is it just me?).

I never met a person who was that interesting that I wanted to find out more about his or her character.

I wish that one day I'll meet that kind of person.

PS. I'm not trying to say that anyone outta here is boring.

Good examples?

Tony Stonem from Skins. 
I'd describe him as a cold, nasty, arrogant and big-headed person. But there's a background, there's a reason why he acts like that. 

 

Blair Waldorf  from Gossip Girl.
Very similar to Tony Stonem, I think.
She's just playing the bad bitch, she tries to hide that she's a broken-hearted girl.

Liam and Noel Gallagher, members of the British band Oasis.
Both had an unhappy childhood, they were often beaten by their alcoholic father. Everyone called Liam "Peggy's shadow", because he was always by his mom's side, while Noel had to feel most of their dad's violence.
To this day the two brothers have a bad relationship, even if they're adults.
They're famous for their bad behavior and nasty demeanor, but if they're really like that, why should they write songs like Wonderwall?
You should read their story on wikipedia, it's very interesting.

Do you know anyone with a really special character?

Venice is wonderful.

Ciao a tutti!
I apologize for writing so late. I spend three wonderful weeks in Italy :)
I was living in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, nearby Pordenone.
The weather was nice, we went to Verona and Venice.
Venice is so wonderful and we've been so lucky: the weather was fantastic!

I found out that I fell in love with AC/DC and Muse. My god, they're so amazing!

Venice, 20/10/10

Dear Clueso,

Dear Clueso, Dear Thomas,
I want to thank you for existing and for your wonderful lyrics.
I love touching songs. Songs, which can describe my feelings.
Thank you.

Hier und da komm ich auf die Idee
Einen anderen Weg zu gehen.
Mal verspielt und mal gefasst
Manchmal macht mir der Nase nach, einfach das unbeholfene Spaß.
Beweg mich gern in meinem Kreis
Doch jeder noch so kleine Teich
Sollte verbunden sein zum Meer.
Immer wenn ich was Neues ausprobier'
Lauf ich wie barfuß über Glas.
Doch ich fühl mich federleicht,
weil es sich fast immer lohnt
Und so erscheint dass nicht so bleibt wie's ist
Fast schon wie gewohnt
Wenn mich das Neue dann berührt,
Tanz ich zuerst für mich allein.
Dann mach ich all die andern wach
Doch immer wenn was neu beginnt
Sagt auch etwas in mir: das war's
Doch ich fühl mich federleicht
Weil es sich fast immer lohnt
Und so erscheint dass nichts so bleibt wie's ist  
Fast schon wie gewohnt



 

Hey, soul sister

Guten Abend! :)
September is nearly over, normally it's one of my favorite months in the year, but this year it's too cold in Germany :(
I'll go to Venice in exactly one week. I'm very excited!

Today is saturday, my "new" favorite day of the week, because it is the only day I can chill.
And I can play as much guitar as I want.
Last week I tried to play "Gewinner" by Clueso, a wonderful German song, but difficult.
It takes more time, so I thought I could learn another song and today I began to learn "Hey, soul sister"
by Train.
Just a cute song :)
Btw I learned "Wonderwall" by Oasis two weeks ago and I'm really proud :P
I'm so in love with my guitar ♥

Special day and favorite books.

Today was a special day, because I met a person, who I haven't seen for six years.
It's normally a very close person, but "he" was a stranger for me.
I feel weird. Touched. I don't know. I don't want to talk much. Just write, write, write, write something down...
Maybe about books, because that person gave me a book as a present.
It's not a special book, but the first book he gave me 2003 is really special. It accompanied my life.
You should know it, its name is "The little prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

It's an amazing book. Here's my favorite quote (in French of course) :)

« On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. » 

What's your favorite book and why?
The little prince and Dorian Gray are my favorites. The little prince because it means something for me as a subject and because my favorite cousin read it out loud for me about thousand times, when I was a child.
And the story is amazing as I said. Very poetic and it tells us everything about important things in our lives.
And you know what I think about Dorian Gray, don't you? ;)

I'm reading "The perfume" by Patrick Süskind at the moment.

Lord Henry is a genius.

I finally bought The picture of Dorian Gray in English.
Everything that Lord Henry says is worth to learn.

"What of Art?" she asked.
"It's a malady."
"Love?"
"An illusion."
"Religion?"
"The fashionable substitute for Belief."
"You are a sceptic."
"Never! Scepticism is the beginning of Faith."
"What are you?"
"To define is to limit."

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.

Oasis - Wonderwall
I think it's a wonderful song. Many people say, it's THE perfect rock song ever.
Well, to me it's not the perfect song ever (mine is "I miss you" by Blink) but I guess that nobody would disagree that this song is amazing. I often read about this song, things like "I will marry the guy who'll play Wonderwall on a guitar for me" and I just rolled my eyes, because it's a little bit ridiculous.
That song isn't Mainstream, it's not a negative thing. It's a song which touches you.
It's not a song for little teen girlies who know nothing about music and real feelings.

So here is the song. A song for thoughtful people by wonderful Oasis. The video is also very lovely.



By the way: Did you find your "wonderwall"?
To me it's my favorite cousin who lives in Italy. I always feel really happy when she's by my side :)

Dorian Gray is perfect.

G'day,
today is the 2nd september and I'll go to Venice in exactly one month. I can't wait!
I'm reading "The picture of Dorian Gray" at the moment and I think that this book is perfect.
Dorian Gray is perfect, Oscar Wilde's way of writing is perfect, the ambiance of the book is perfect.
I read one side of the book about Venice and I wanted to share it with you - in German.
(Sorry)

Devant une façade rose
Sur le marbre d'un escalier.
Das ganze Venedig lag in diesen zwei Zeilen.
Er erinnerte sich an den Herbst, den er dort vebracht hatte, und an eine wundervolle Liebe, die ihn zu wahnsinnigen, entzückenden Tollheiten verleitet hatte.
Romanzen gab es allerorten; aber Venedig hatte wie Oxford den Hintergrund für die Romantik noch bewahrt, und für den echten Romantiker ist der Hintergrund alles oder beinahe alles.
(by Oscar Wilde)

I'm thinking a lot about the character of Dorian Gray, the secret of his mind.
I guess there are many persons who'd say that his character is horrible or dislikable.
I fell in love with Dorian Gray from the very first moment I read about him in the book.
I'm so charmed by this beautiful man that I can imagine to call my son Dorian.
I'll see the play (theater) at the 15th september together with my class and I'm pretty sure that I'll be a bit...disappointed. I haven't seen the movie yet, but when I saw that Ben Barnes will play Dorian Gray I was glad. To me - the aspect of Ben Barnes is perfect for Dorian Gray.
A man who plays Dorian Gray has to be perfect.
Perfect is the perfect word.

I'll also order the book in English soon.

Take your time.

I took my time.

I hurried up.

The choice was mine, I didn't think enough.

(Adam's song)

  
My friend J gave me that postcard as a birthday present. 
It's only in German, sorry. It's about taking time for every important thing. 
Take time for yourself.
I love the poem.

Who am I?

Sorry that I didn't post anything this week.
School started monday and it's stressful.

learning -  pressure - trying to get better - ambition - success - less fun - tiredness - no, you should learn more! - working more - going to bed - next morning - I wanna sleep - I can't - starting over

Yes. When I go to school everything is on repeat and I cannot wait for holidays or the weekends.
I'm always tired on fridays and I'm so tired at the weekend that I do nothing.
I don't hate school, I love it to see my friends everyday, but I'm so tired of the pressure in school, so tired of trying to get better, to be better.
I've got a new subject, Drama. I often ask myself who I am and what I want and since tuesday, since my first drama lesson, I'm more trying to find out. How can I describe myself? Here a few words.

I am a shy, open, hesitant, laddish, thoughtful, likeable, dislikable, honest, dishonest, funny, not funny, smart, stupid, polite, impolite, successful, unsuccessful, calmful, loud, immature, mature, happy, unhappy, smiling and crying person. 

I am also a dreamer, but who cares.

I'm feeling this!

                                          Fate fell short this time

                                     Your smile fades in the summer

                                          Place your hand in mine

                                           I'll leave when I wanna

                                                (Blink-182 Feeling this)

Sad and true at the same time.

I found this yesterday on a blog and it made me think a lot.
And I can't explain why.

Life could be so different.

I frequently lie on my bed and think about things that could be different in my life or how I'd like my life to be.

I think about how my life would be if I live in America.
Let us expect that I'd live in Santa Monica, California.
I'm not rich and I'm not poor, I'm just "normal".
The sun shines the whole year, I often go to the beach with my friends, I attend a high school and my friends and I go to many concerts at the weekend.
Many teenager I know are naughty, but in a funny way. My friends and I, we're just 16 years old, but we abscond at night, because we wanna go to a party which was usually planned for the 18-year-old teenager. Nobody cares about the age at the party, because everybody's going. They play pop punk/punk rock music, Blink-182, Green Day, Sex Pistols, Ramones, All Time Low, Simple Plan, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte and so on.
It's trendy to have piercings and tattoos. I have a tattoo. My tattoo is stashed, on the left hip bone. There will always be written "sixteen" on my skin. My friends also have tattoos. Everybody will maybe regret it when they're old, because they did it to anger their parents.
Everybody's dating, you get to know so many people and it's lot of fun.
The boys I know wear clothes like the members of Blink-182.
Summerholiday will begin in one week and many parties are planned, everybody will go to the beach, travel to some cities like San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Los Angeles...
Of course we'll make the trip with a car, because you can get your driving license with 16.

I guess I dream and think about this so many times, because everything's so different at the place I live.
I don't have many possibilities at my "city", which has a population of 12,250.
I'd prefer to live in a city like Frankfurt, Stuttgart or Cologne.
That's a reason why I can't wait to turn 18. I wanna travel and see the world, my biggest dream is America.
Still two years I have to wait.
Why did I choose America? I love the English language (and especially the American accent), the mentality, the humor and I mean, America is the country of boundless possibilities, isn't it?
- I have to add that I don't regret to be an European or to live in Europe.
I'm just dreaming and dreaming is never wrong, right? -

Nikon L110 and Spike

Hello there!
My new camera arrived yesterday! :)
It's so cool and I like the quality of the photos. The Nikon L110 is something between a digital camera and a single lens reflex camera. So perfect for a beginner like me ;)
Today I ordered a bag for my camera, a memory card and "Sanyo Eneloop" batteries and a charger for the batteries. Uff...but it's worth :)

So, here's a picture of my lovely dog Spike taken with my new camera. He's 5 years old and so cute :)

Tomorrow I'll celebrate my 16th birthday together with my best friends.
I think we'll watch a horror film and after that a comedy film. We'll talk much and we'll drink something :)

What's my age again?

One of my favorites songs made by one of my favorite Bands Blink-182.
I just loooove the video. Its style is so young, fresh, funny and naughty.
Like you should be with sixteen.

Back in Germany, birthday tomorrow

Hey!
I'm back in Germany and I had a good time in Parma!
The drive was stressful...but okay.
The first days we went to different places, shopping, restaurants, walking and so on.
I bought the film "Ho voglia di te" (more infos later), many Italian brioches, postcards, shoes and magazines.
And that's weird. I normally buy more things, but the problem was that we went to PARMA (city) on the last day - at night.
They had so many good shops and they've been close, what is normal if you go there at night :/
But anyways...I enjoyed the swimming pool and the Italian feeling :)
I love that many Italian people are outside lately at night. I miss that so much...

PS: My opinion is that the South of Italy is better for holidays and if you want to know "la dolce vita" go to places under Rome (Rome enclosed of course ;))
I can't wait for October! Venezia calling! AND I'll se my favorite cousin again!


So...my 16th birthday is tomorrow...and I'm NOT excited.
I think the years before your 18th are always the same...but I enjoy every year to celebrate with my family and my friends :)
To me, the only "special" birhday is the 18th.
When I turn 18  I wanna go to a place I always wanted to visit.
Maybe Milan, Florence, London, Madrid, Havana, Stockholm...but I have time to choose. 2 years.
And after that I want to celebrate my 18th with my family and friends!

You know that I want a new camera for my birthday and here's another reason:
My camera was totally fucked up in Italy. I just took 10 pictures  and the quality is so bad!
I can't wait for a new camera!

Venezia - ancora tre mesi...:) ♥

Franca, se leggi questo: I miei coglioni diventano sempre più grandi! :D


Pictures taken in Parma at night. They are shooting a film in Parma, but I don't remember the name of the movie...:/

Arrivederci Germania, Ciao Italia!

Ciao a tutti!
Surprisingly I'll go to Italy tomorrow - I'm soooooo happy, I can't describe it!
My auntie called me this week and asked me if I wanna go with her and my two cousins to Italy for a week.

So the place I'll be is called "Parma", region Emilia-Romagna, I've never been to the north of Italy.

Normally Paris was planned, but I'm just so glad that I will go to Italy instead of Paris...which can sound pretty weird for people who want to go to Paris :D
But I think Paris can wait until autumn, c'est vrai, non? ;)

Kisses!

I fell in love with that camera - Nikon L110

Oh.my.gosh.
I'm so f****** in love with this camera, nobody would believe me :o
My birthday is in 16 days now and I really wanna buy that camera...
I hope I'll have it next month! :D

So here's a picture!

Oh and by the way: I promise that I'll shoot more pictures when I have that babe! ;)

Song of the day

Subsonica - Strade

ti guardo che mi guardi non so se salutarti o fare finta che non sia già tardi

 

First post. Finally.

Hello there!
I decided to create a blog with my thoughts, my hopes, my wishes and about my life.

Picture taken 2008, in Italy.
